Clean Sheets in Georgia.
The Worm has changed in Geor
gia.
There is a popular superstition
that the average drummer lives a
life of luxury and ease. He is a
teller of good stories, some of
them not for parlor use. He has
a large expense account ; seldom
misses a ball game or a prize fight;
smokes three-for-a-quarter cigars
and wears his Sunday suit on week !
days. Every once in a while the
head of the firm wires him a raise
in salary, and eventually he be
comes a partner in the house.
Wake up from this lovely dream, i
If there lives a man who eau get
humor and comfort out of bed!
bugs, cracked crockery, poorly I
cooked food,, missed trains, in- i
suits, too many house instructions, |
bverwork, sleeplessness, iudiges

tion, kicks on expense accounts,
lumpy beds, sloppy meals and
days and niglits in hotels that are
horrors, then the really great
philosopher has been discovered.
In Georgia the drummer has not
ask' d for much He wauts a law
passed providing for clean sheets.
He would have each guest, when
he reaches the closet assigned to
him by the landlord, find virgin
linen on the mattress.
There is no demand for a comb
and hair brush. He is willing to
wait before the one towel until the
proprietor of the One Price Cloth
ing store and the keeper of the
livery stable have completed their
toilets. He will chew his incinerat
ed steak with joy and tip the sad
eyed waitress like a gentleman.
But he would like clean sheets.
Am! he should have them, if it
is necessory to call out the troops.
—News Scimitar.
In this issue of the News ap
pears the name of Mr. A. J. Black,
as a candidate for the office of tax
assessor of Woodruff county. Mr.
Black has been in the race from
the beginning, but on account of
some misunderstanding between he
and the former manager of the
News, he has not heretofore made
his candidacy known through our
columns. He lias been a citizen of
our county for a number of years;
has been county surveyor for some
three or four years, which position
has made him acquainted with
property all over the county. He
comes before the people for the po
sition, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary election in
March, 1906, and promising, if
elected, to discharge the duties of
tfie office to the fullest extent of
his ability.

A Story of the Esquimo
Written by a Third
Grade Pupil.
The Esquimo has no horses but
they have dogs something just as
good as them they use them to
drive to their sled. ■
They drive eight or twelve dogs
at a time. They can make their
houses just as good out of big
peaces of ice as a brickmason makes
a brick house. The Esquimo makes
his sled out of bones and peaces of
ice, wood, when they do this they
are call rich. The Esquimo boys
have to tend to the dogs the boy
makes him a snow fence and calls
the dogs in one at a time and gives
him as much as he thinks he ought
to have He lias a long whip to
keep the others away. They are
very much like Iudians they carry
their babys just like the Indiangs
do. You can’t tell the wornau from
the men for they dress alike
They have a kind of gig like a
sword with a string tied to kill fish
The men aud women are not very
large The baby is very small and
little.
The dogs tails are very curly.
