SEIZES COLLECTORS
all the pomp and circumstance of
an "Old Home Week,'' I confess,
amuses me not a little. His tac
tics are very like those of a dear
little six year-old neighbor girl
of mine, a methodist too, by the
way, who, when I have been re
miss In not pressing her to visit
me, will frequently call over to
me, "Mrs. C, don't you want me
to come over ?" Of course, I al
ways want her to come, and have
the same feeling toward Rev.
Shoemaker, and all others of the
old Fulton county boys and girls
who are enriching other localities
by their preseuce and efforts, but
whose absence has made us poor
indeed. I speak for the town and
county, when I say that we will
be delighted to set apart a week
for the reunion of all who are will
ing to take a day off, and turn
their faces homeward again.
There is no greater pleasure en
joyed by us than the return of
those who are exiles from the
home of their childhood, i am,
personally in favor of holidays
and reunions, and recall with
pride, the success of our centen
nial occasion, Sept. 30, 1886. It
was unreservedly the greatest
day in the county's calendar :
"The day so mild
Was Heaven's own child. "
and passed without a single mar
ring circumstance.
I should be glad to receive com
mumcat.ons from the absent ones
who are able and willing to trek
homeward, or who in any way by
personal effort, are willing to
make an "Old Home Week" a suc
cessful venture, some time this
fall, while yet "the green is on
the trees," and before "the corn
is in the shock."

The Breath of Life.
It's a significant fact that the
strongest animal of its size, the
gorilla, also has the largest lungs.
Powerful lungs means powerful
creatures. How to keep the
breathing organs right should be
man's chiefest study. Like thou
sands of others, Mrs. Ora A.
Stephens, of Port Williams, O.,
has learned how to do this. She
writes : "Three bottles of Dr.
King's New Discovery stopped
my cough of two years and cured
me of what my friends thrught
consumption. O, it's grand for
throat and lung troubles." Guar

The Gibson picture hoblt ha ben ef
fwtunlly fnHtened on a bl proportion of
the reading- population of this section by
the publication by the Sunday North
American of ten of the latest of thl
great American artist's pictures as art
upplenicnis. It has started the Gibson
collection fnd, and this promises to last
until the Inst of the pictures are out.
There was a time when the Gibson girl
was the Idol of the young woman. Now
the Gibson art supplement glveB every,
body an opportunity to collect the artist's
works, and there will be few homes that
will not have a good representation with
in the next few weeks.
For the tlrne being the collection of
Gibson drawings has taken the place of
the collection of post cards In I'hlladel
plila, and the fad .'a certain to spread to
all of the towns where the pictures sre
made so easily obtnlnahle.
The picture which The North American
Is to Issue next Sunday Is "A Castle in
the Air." It Is one of the most forceful
of Gibson's works, and teaches a broad
moral lesson to young people and old
alike.
