FAIR A VITAL FACTOR If the officials of the Griffin Spalding County Fair association cessful fair held here, they do so justifiably and pardonably. For the annual fair has become a vital fac tor in the tipbuilding of Spalding and adjoining counties in many ways. It continues to liven interest in better ana more varied farming, and the resulting benefits arc- reflected each year in the exhibits, show not only careful planning, but accomplishments in using more ef ficient methods as well. The fair is educational in that it Shows the resources and products of our community and our neighbors in an understandable form that gives enduring emphasis. While the formal motive behind the fair is educational that feature does not outweigh the recreational side. Man is by nature a creature of routine, in the shop, in the store, or on the farm, and it is essential that he be given release from the monotony of the every day grind. Hence, while the educational side of the fair is stressed, the recreational' and holiday aspects have been care fully preserved, as they should be. The fair offers such a wide varie ty of entertainment that it attracts every one, and while it cannot cure ills, it can make you forget them. You are urged to lose your wor ries in the gay throngs on the mid way, in the thrills of the horse races, or in tihe novelty of the thous and and one other attractions. On the eve of this great fall fes tival and season of relaxation The News joins with all Griffin in bidding you a hearty welcome. TO GOAL-SEEKERS Happily we all shoot at the moon with ineffectual arrows; our hopes are set on inaccessible El Dorados; we come to an end of nothing here below. Thus felt Robert Louis Stevenson. In an essay, Apology for Idlers, he «oints out that interests are oniv plucked y p t 0 sow themselves again, like mustard: “You would think, when the child was born, there would be an end to trouble; and yet it is only the begin ning of fresh anxieties; and when you have seen it through its teething and its education, and at last its marriage, alas! it is only to ha'I new fears, new quivering sensi bilities, with every day; and the henlth of your children’s children grows as touching a concern as that of your own. “Again, when you have married your wife, you would think you were got upon a hilltop, and might be gin to go downward by an easy slope. 44 But you have only ended court ing to begin marriage. Falling in love and winning love arc often difficult tasks to overbearing and rebellious spirits; but to keep in love is also a business of some import ance, to which both man and wife must bring kindness and goodwill. “The true love story begins at the altar, when there lies before the married pair a most beautiful con test of wisdom and generosity, and a life-ion ~ struggle towards an un attainable ideal. a Unattainable? Aye, surely un attainable, from the very fact that they are two instead of one. There is only wish realizable on the earth; only one - thing that can toe perfectly attained: Death. "And from a variety of circunu whether it be worth attaining. ft A strange picture we make ,on our way to our chimeras, cease lessly marching, grudging ourselves the time for test; indefatigable, ad venturous pioneers. It is true that we shall never reach the goal; it is even more probable that there is no such place; and if we lived for centuries and were endowed with the powers of a god, we' should find ourselves not much nearer what we wanted at the end,” ventures Stevenson. it O toiling hands of mortals! 0 unwearied feet, traveling ye know not whither! Soon, soon, it seems to you, must come forth on some conspicuous hilLtop, .and but a little way further, against the setting sun, descry the spires of El Dorado. “Littlw ye know your own blessed ness; for to travel hopefully is a, better thing than to arrive, and the true success, is to labor.’' WILLIAMSON Mrs. Addie Clyde Scott, of At lanta, is spending a week with her mother, Mrs. W.

GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS SOUL l VICTOR ROUSSEAU *6 h COPYRIGHT •by W G.CMAPMAN \ v^k y • f caster, with tt>e transient risen m humor lighting up his face. "I toad the hardest conceivable battle ovtr that bottle, I set It up before me, and t held ray right hand back with my ieft, and I said. ‘1 ana winning, in Joan Wentworth’s name.' And at last the drug devil was beaten. And no more morphine until tonight." “Doctor Lancaster, brave and wonderful! cried Joan, profoundly stirred. Remember that! >ne of tire bravest men I have ever known. Never tell me again that you have lost your power of will. We are winning fast." He placed his hands upon iier shoul ders and stood looking at hfer. Upon ids face was an expression of indul gence, as if he was considering her enthusiasm In the light of his experi ence of life, so much deeper than hers, so much the more profound. Then the took passed; the years seemed to fail from him, and strength eame into his face. God bless you, my dear, he said, and bent and kissed her forehead. she's turned and ran upstairs, Her heart was singihg in her breast. The flood of sunlight that came through the eastern windows, illuminating the dusty Interior of the old building, seemed tike a spiritual light, flaming into this dark place where shadows had dwelt so long. She went Into her room and dressed for the day. She hud never felt so happy before. And now the life in Avonmoutb had be come as dim ns a dream, and she cared no longer whether she returned or not. A charge had been granted to her, a man’s. life put into her keep ing; that trust she meant to fulfill. She had saved Lancaster, and site would outwit Myers, and remove the only obstacle to Lancaster’s recovery. She knew the man incited the doctor to drug himself. She would have known that even without the matron's statement to her. But why should Myers wish Lancaster to drug himself to death? He must be acting for others. Whom? No matter. Once the drug evil was overcome, the plot would be revealed and overthrown. As site stood at her window Joan heard footsteps on the path below. Looking down, site saw the secretary leaving the house, carrying a suitcase. k>r heart uimost stood still. Surely dyers had not acknowledged defeat ■ ml taken Lancaster at his word? iureiy he did not mean to go without uother struggle? She watched him cross the grass >eslde the chicken coop to where the veed-grown path joined the winding , oad. He was outside the grounds f the institute now. and he was still ’ oing in the direction of station, the le disappeared behind the hedges, ap peared again, a long way off, and van shed finally. He was gone, and the ilr seemed the sweeter, the day more .dorious. Joan almost danced downstairs to the dining room. I.ancaster was at the table, waiting for her. “Mr. Myers lias gone away I” she cried. "Doctor Lancaster, your evil spirit lias departed, suitcase and all." Lancaster looked.at her gravely. “I know." i he said. “Did he come to you? Did you dis charge him?” “He did not come to me. He did not tell \hc matron he was going It Inok^ “NttS’ bnd.” 1 said Joan firmly, struggling ntainsl her conviction, “He was afraid. You will never see him again." "You know what the Bible says about the unclean spirit who leave! a man. and returns with seven others when he finds Ills home swept nnfl gsmlahed?" s> "Doctor Lancaster, lie lias no hold on you. He can do nothing, and he will never dare to return.” "Well, my dear, we have a respite, at all events,” Lancaster answered. “So let us eat our breakfast, and aft erward I’ll take you for a ramble through the woods, and we'll hold the fort together until evening.” Chapter VIII By the next morning there was no doubt that victory had been won. There was color In Lancaster's face, a lightness In his step; and. best of all, he was psychically whole, The drug devil still clung to the nervous refuges of its physical domain, the hands still trembled, the man started at sudden sounds; but the shifty, furtive, lying spirit had taken Its do pa rt ure. Joan only discovered afterward what Lancaster must have endured. The treatment had been more heroic than Joan had known, with her own limited experience, and the antidotes which she administered, under Lan caster's own directions, were purpose ly limited, for fear of supplanting one hahit with Lancaster hail gone tnrough tne worst of his ordeal: and yet certain features of his illness were puzzling to both of them. The symptoms of npwphltoe poisoning, elusive and pro tean as they are, seemed in this case irreconcilable with those classically accepted. There was Lancaster's com plete prostration on the morning when Joan discovered the nature of his ill ness. He told her afterward that lie hud been conscious all the limp, but physically inert, as if paralyzed. That did not point to morphine poisoning, / And a certain lethargy remained one of the last symptoms of the case. The intimacy of the sick room, born, of their struggle, hud become the most natural thing to .both of them. The passing of Myers had -wrought an ex traordinary change in the atmosphere of the institution. And somehow the news of Lancaster’s recovery had spread into' Millville. Joan inferred that even the country people had boy cotted ttie institute, but now two moth ers brought their babies to Lancaster, and It was amazing and delightful to - .J<7iin trl the doctor’s see transforma tion, his joiliness and tenderness to ward the children. “I’m using my respite,” he .said whimsically. “I want to get well to face’my harder battle.” “It is no respite,” answered Joan. “You' are free now. Doctor Lancaster; it is only a habit of thought that holds you.” There ensued three wonderful days after the secretary’s departure, always to remain clear in the girl’s memory. They were three days of uninterrupt ed recovery. After the second no more morphine,was given- The fight was won; there was no questioning that. “I suppose you will have to return to Avonmonth soon.”-Joan suggested. He turned a startled look on her. “Yes—soon,” he said, and fell Into a gloomy meditation from which she could not arouse him. That afternoon a telephone message came from Thompson, a lull village, fifteen miles distant. A farm-hand had been crushed by a falling tree; would I.ancaster come at once and see If anything could be done for him? “Would you like to come with me?” asked the doctor. If I can he of help.” 4 - Of course you cun—the greatest help. I shall need you botfly*perhaps, to administer an anesthetic," he an swered.
