Frost and 1t. Causes

Frost occurs when there Is clear
sky and little wind Heavy low clouds
act as a blanket, preventing the earth
from giving off Its heat. A moderate
wind is generally an effective deterrent
Of frost, since 1t keeps thin layer OF
cold air from forming near the ground,
mixing the warmer air Of the upper
regions with 1t.

Night Coughing

can quickly act to prevent TINS daH-
ger through very simple treat
ment People who have hardly been
able to rest at. all on account ooI OF
coughing spells have found they can
sleep the whole night through pn-
disturbed often the first time tneH
The treatment is based on a re.
Ynarkable prescription known as Dr'
Kings New Discovery for Coughs:
You simply take a teaspoontui az
night before retiring, and hold 1t IN
your throat for Is or 20 seconds be-
fore swallowing it, without follow
ing with water. The prescription
has a double action. 1t not, only
sootlies and heals soreness and irri,
tation, but it quickly loosens and
removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct cause of the
coughing. The result is you usually
sleep soundly the very first night,
and the entire cough condltlon cues
in a very short time.
The prescription is highly recon-

foarseness, and bronchitis, and IS
wonderful for children's coughs and

THE CENTRAL DIXIE HIGHWAY-To en-

able statement OF the real condition OF the cen
tral Dixie Highway from Macon to Jacksonville
to be made and to successfully rcfutc the malicious
statements being made by interested parties on
connecting routes we made special trip to Ma
con and Jacksonville in company with Mr.. w. N.
Smith OF the Chamber OF Commerce. To Macon
the route is as good as any sand clay road can be
well maintained by the State Highway Depart
ment and in excellent condition at this time, gong
via Lakeside from Perry to Echeconce, one hall
mile from the Bibb County line, when one strikes
the excellent paved road of that county. Going
south from here the entire route IS tree OF dctors
and either route via Alma or Buckley from Mich
OILS is in good condition to the Ware County hne,
when a perfect highway of eighty one miles leads
into Jacksonville,
These are the absolute facts, the VaIdosta Times
and others notwithstanding. On the other hand,
speaking OF the route leading through Naldosta,
we have it from a tourist, who routed out
OF Atlanta via the National Highway to Jackson
Vile who was at the Office of the Jacksonville
Motor Club headquarters in Florida for road in
formation that the route south OF Naldosta was on
that date Saturday. Feb 2D almost impossible
over detours from Lake Park to Lake City, tot
alling about twenty five miles
The Central Dixie Highway has suffered sim
liar inconvenience for the past three years and
we can sympathze with our friends on the Ma
tiOnal Highway for this reason, but we insist that
truth and honor compels them to at least quit ly
ing about the Central Dixie Highway and take
their medicine like men, people had
take it during the period OF construction of their
Florida link.

yond it's noon.
The summons came and bade her
90; so soon to leave behind the work
She had always done and cease the
race she started forth to run.
With faculties alert and all attune
and giving promise of the priceless
boon OF fruitful latter years at set OF
sun.
Now all unfinished lies her task and
dumb,
That flashing brain, and closed the
eyes that scanned,
The countless things, which she dream
ed and planned,
To execute Lies final day has come
While DER the scene, Deaths sable

And earth is vei1ed from view,

WHO IS THE HOME MERcHANTa-

home merchant, who is he? He is the chap who
gives you credit when you are financially broke,
and carries your account until you are able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back your money
or makes exchanges when you are not satisfied
with what you have bought
He is the chap who meets you at the door with
a handshake and lets you out with message to
the kids" and real come again goodbye"
He is the chap whose clerks live in the home
town and spend their money with you and other
local people.
He is the chap who helps support churches
and charitable institutions and talks for the home
town and boosts for it every day in the year
He is the chap who visits you when you are
sick, sends flowers to your family when you die
and follows your body out among the trees and
tombs, as far as human feet may travel with the
dead
He is the home merchant-your nelghbor-your
friend--your helper in time of need.
Don't you think you ought to trade with him
and be his friend and his helper in time of need?
Don't you know that every dollar you send out
Of town for merchandise is sent to strangers-to
men who never spend dollar here? You don't
save much usually nothing, when you send your
money out of town. And don't you know that
the growth and prosperity of this town and COM
munity depends very largely upon the success and
prosperity Of the home merchant? Out of town
people Judge city by the appearance of our
stores and the degree of enterprise shown by
merchants. And our home merchants cannot sue
ceed unless home folks give them loyal support.

CONVICT LABOR COSTLY

The B1bb County COMMISSIONERS
nave decided that their convict labor
on roads IS more expense than would
hired labor be. Punishment for not
working have become so 4. : alded
by convicts with the abe. y.a T.! ,he
lash and other cruclties, that it is i'm
possible to get days work out of
one anymore. Feeding the. Is or 80
head of mules daily is counted in the
added expense of the convict labor
however the danger of allowing idle
ness for the convicts is a phase that
should not be overlooked.

AIRPLANES FOR RELIEF

The first time aviation has had a
part in Alpine relief work was last
week when Swiss airplanes tarried
food to drop to mountain climbers
marooned for eight days by storms in
a shelter hut in an exposed wilderness.
The snow was too deep for landing
but the airplanes swooped as low as
possible, flinging their stores OF corn
cd beef and hard tack, which saved the
lives of the unfortunatcs until their
safe return was possible.

A REASONABLE YEAR OF PROSPERITY

# is generally accepted that 1925 will be year
OF reasonable prosperity. Such expectation of
course assumes that the general public--the CON
sumng pubic-Will be in an optimistic frame of
mind and will not arbitrarily hold back its buy
ing This assumption is justified yet word OF
caution seems timely
Past experience shows that hand in hand with
prosperous conditions comes ceaseless business
habits. The downward pressure on the expense of
doing business on the part of many manufacturers
and retailers up. In many instances, there
is a tendency to advance prices. In this there may
be an element of danger We believe that the pub
lie, which is in a favorable mood now would be
inclined to change less favorable buying attitude
if it sensed general movement in the direction
of increased prices.
The play for the retailer at this time is to make
the most of the present opportunities and at the
same time carry his operations in such way
as to safeguard the continuance of the feeling OF
optimism which prevails.

body who though born in Massachu-

him a hero to that people during the

toria esteemed him so highly she had
offered him all sorts of honors but
none was accepted except her portrait
which now hangs on the wall OF Pea
body Institute. At this death he re-
ceived the greatest public funeral at
Westminster Abbey ever accorded one
not a British subject and his body was
brought back to America on British
battleship, also a supreme honor. He
was one who helped to establish mu-
tua1 understanding and good will be-
tween England and America at time

This administration is said to be
outstanding for economy and closest
scrutiny for waste has begun in the
executive department. A prize is Of
fered for that department budget which
can show the best suggestion of &C.
onomy However, the legislative de-
partmcnts and postal departments are
getting large salary increases if pres
ent bills are passed, and the chances
are favorable. 1t is amusing to see
that the Senators VIII not allow rec
ord of their vote in raising their sal
aries, also that the house of repre-
sentatives will not consent to any leg
islation that will decrease their num-
per. Economy is easier to preach than
to practice for statesmen if we have
any The Mayflower is some little bit

Canada on model farms of 2 to ac-
res more like garden cities where there
can be common stables and out houses
as well as club houses where meals
may be had at low rate. These pen
sioners are untitled to go to Canada
as ordinary agricultural settlers by
reason of age, poor health, or other
drawback, so this plan is being worked
out by the Empire Community settle
ment and will benefit only those men
Of small fixed income who desire such

answer a similar list himself and the
challenge was accepted with a wager.
If the millionaire publisher answers
correctly Is per cent of the questions
for IA year school boys the Labor
