THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1925.
The Wiregrass Farmer, at Ash
hunr, enters its twenty-fifth year
wen more vigorous than ever before
in holding high the standard of agri¬
cultural development and community
progress.
Fayetteville News: Those who went
say the Peach Blossom Festival was
great. We know that Editor Johnny
Jones of The Fort Valley Leader
Tribune issued one peach of a special
edition for the festival. We were
sorry we could not accept Johnny’s
invitation to the festival and the spe
vial “blow-out” for the Georgia edi¬
tors hut being editor and.printer too
does not allow us many days off.
WONDERFUL ADVERTISING FOR
FORT VALLEY
Hartwell Sun: Fort Valley and her
innual peach blossom festival re¬
cently attracted nation-wide atten¬
tion. It was the biggest event of its
kind ever held perhaps, and no little
credit is due Editor Johnny H. Jones,
<) f the Fort Valley Leader-Tribune,
for his special edition boosting the
festival. Fort Valley has bad some
wonderful advertising as a result of
the festival this year.
- v
APRIL FOOL!
The celebrnted <4 Bill Biffcm,” in
bis editorial column in the Savannah
Press, carried a number of April
fool “news dispatches” on April first,
among which was the following:
“He Hates a Crowd”
“Fort Valley, Ga., April 1—It is
announced that the Peach Blossom
Festival is to be abandoned because
Johnny Jones, the editor of the Fort
Valley Leader, declaies it brings too
many people to town.”
GOVERNMENT COSTS
LaGrange Graphic: Thirty-eight
state legislatures met during Janu¬
ary, and one meets later in the year.
In 1923, they received over 60,000
bills, and passed 15,000 as laws.
There are now approximately 2,000,
000 laws and ordinances in the Unit¬
id States, and about 200,000 new
ones are being added yearly. State
governments that in 1903, cost
$182,000,000, an averag of $2.20
per capita, cost $1,450,000,000 in
1923, or $13.10 per capita. The to¬
tal state and national government
cost in 1923, was 15 per cent of the
national income where it was only
seven per cent of the national in
« ome in 1903.
BENNETT VS. BOIFEU1LLET
Here is the way Editor Howell, of
the Cuthbert Leader, looks at the
ease of Bennett vs. Boifeuillett:
“The supreme court has declared
that John T. Boifeuillet’s commission
as a member of the Public Service
Commission will not expire until
January 1st, next. The effort of Bon¬
net to oust Boifeuillet because Gov¬
ernor Walker made an error in the
date of the former’s commission re¬
minds us of the fellow who refuses
to return the overplus of change
given hint by mistake.”
Bennett is the man who, in bis cam¬
paign last year, sent out advertis¬
ing to newspapers and demanded the
yfrivilJge of naming the price to be
paid, saying in effect: “Take it or
leave it.” He evidently is finding out
now that he can't “hog’’ everything.
"FINE PIECE OF ART”
Publishers’ Auxiliary (Chicago):
John H. Jones, editor and publish
of the Fort Valley Leader-Trib
une, has the distinction of issuing as
a supplement to his most splendid pa
tier., the first magazine edition of its
kind ever published by a weekly news¬
paper in the state. It is a souvenir
/
of the fourth annual Peach
festival, held at Fort Valley, and
replete with fine articles relative
the peach industry in the new
of Peach, the growth and rapid
vancement of that section, its
ious, educational and civic
es, attractive advertising matter
splendid illustrations. The cover is
color work and is a very fine
of art. It is printed on an
grade of paper, Elberta tinted,
looks as good as peach ice
Thousands of these copies,
at 25 cents each, are being
throughout the United Ktates and
create great interest about

LEE AFTER APPOMATTOX
Today, April 9th, 1925, marks
sixtieth anniversary of the close
the War between the States.
H. H. Smith, of Blackstone,
has written an interesting article
Lee After Appomattox.” It will
main forever an inspiring high
in history that the nobility of
character never shone more
than during the five years he
vived the war. I)r. Gamaliel
ford, a nrfted writer of the
says: “Hardly anything in the
eharacter is grander than the way
which he instantly adapted
to new circumstances and began
work as a loyal and devoted
even when the United States
him the rights and privileges of
zenship.” At the death of Lee,
New York Herald said:
neither bitterness nor regret over
irrevocable past, he conquered us
misfortune by the grand manner in
which he sustained himself, even
he dazzled us by his genius when
tramp of his soldiers
through the valleys of Virginia. it
Some well known writer recently
said something about a man’s
ing on Sunday and preying on
neighbors all through the week. Some
folks have the courage to continue
praying on Sunday in spite of the
fact, that they are preyed on by
neighbors all through the week.
LIVING IN HOPE
The joyous feeling I never had,
But one I’ve often sought
Is to learn that I have in the bank
More money than I thought.

None hut Jesus Christ can save.

Crown of thorns your Savior wore,
And your sins nailed to the Tree.

Died that you might with Him be.

Over sin and over death.

ROBERT L. FAGAN IS MADE
PRESIDENT OF PHI GAMMA
At a special meeting of the Emory
University Committee on Publica¬
tions, Robert L. Fagan, of Fort Val¬
ley, Ga., who has been recently elect¬
ed President of Phi Gamma Literary
Society, and J. H. Stribling of At¬
lanta, were nominated for the posi¬
tion of Editor-in-Chief of the “Cam
pus, > ' the yearly publication of the
university.
The candidates will be voted upon
in the general school election which
will be held in the third week of Ap¬
ril, their nominations having been
passed upon by the Student Activi¬
ties Council.
CHILD WELFARE NOTES
Judge Watkins of the Juvenile
Court Atlanta said that none of the
children who came before him were
children out the Sunday school and
the Christian homes. He empha
sized the importance of the attendance
nf our boys and girls upon Sunday
school. Parents, civilization moves
I forward upon the feet of little chil
dren and if your child would be a
patent factor in his day and genera
tion you must throw every good in
fluenee around him. Send your child
to Sunday school as regularly as you
do to public school,
WAR ON FLIES
Help keep the babies of our town
well by killing flies. Many children’s
diseases as well as typhoid, etc., are
spread by the fly.
April is the breeding time and the
time to destroy them. Those who have
cows or pigs, pour disinfectant over
the manure heaps as it will kill them
in the breeding stage.
Let’s make war on flies. Every
family kill every fly in reach in April.
Our town had a good deal of ty¬
phoid last year and this will help to
lessen it another year.
Remember April is the time!
Swat every fly you can and get
your neighbor to do the tame.
begin today and swat the fly!
