“Eat Georgia Peaches
All the Time • -
Those pretty color stickers, ' EAT
GEORGIA PEACHES \i,. THE
TIME,” which were distributed by
President E. T. Murray and T. F.
Flournoy of the Kiwanis Club—from
a beautiful design by Miss Christine
Evans—doubtless have brought much
enthusiastic comment from all parts
of America to those Fort Valleyans
who have used them on their letters.
A typical letter received by The
Lender-Tribune was one from a
friend in Nashville, Tenn., a leading
southern paper dealer, who
charmed with the sticker. He went
on to plead for the coming of the
time when people at a distance could
buy Georgia peaches in cans.
Letters from some of the best com
mission merchants in various north
«?rn and eastern cities tell The Leader
Tribune that they are highly pleased
with the deals of this season and
predict gratifying results for the
growers ns well as for themselves.
Mr. Thomas F. Reade writes on
June 11th from Chicago:
It will no doubt interest all of
your readers to know- that the A.
& P. store on 61st street, where I
trade, is now selling Early Rose
peaches put up by S. B. Goodwin of
Marshallville. These peaches
selling for 15 cents per pound. In
fact, they looked so good that 1
bought a few of the ripest and they
smelled and tasted just as good as
they used to at Fort Y’alley. The
manager of the store tells me that
he did not have to throw away any,
and I should say that they were as
near m perfect condition as
could wish, Nearly all the fruit
here is sold by the pound.

Pay Your Debts
Nothing will give more speed to
the return of normal conditions in
Peach county, or anywhere in
ea, than for people to make it their
greatest aim to wipe out, or reduce
largely ,their old debts. Nothing in
terferes more with a man’s clear
mental attitude and spirit of
res s than for old debts to be
ing over his head, The man who
buys new automobiles v instead of
paying up his old debts, or permits
his family to “splurge” instead of
doing that thing, or lets a nice, juicy
vacation interefere with that most
important of all things in our eco¬
nomic rehabilitation, is simply buying
his own continued miserable grouch
and failure. Of course it is criminal
tor a man not to take reasonable
care • of his family and he needs a
rest and some recreation for himself
from time to time if he would main
tain his efficiency but these things
can be done by the wise man who
enjoys a successful season without
failing to do away with a part of
that most terrible of all obstacles in
the way of a return to solid ground
—OLD DEBTS. Whatever you do, if
you make a little money, and old
debts are hanging over your head,
clear the atmosphere by BAYING
UP AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. That
will be your greatest happiness.
Rev. George W. Mathews
The interest of the late Rev :
George W. Mathews and his good
wife in colored people wherever they
answered the call of Christian ser
vice was one of the shining lights
which warmed the hearts of all
around them. Significant of that in¬
terest is a letter received by The
Leader-Tribune from a negro preach
er, Wm. A. Dinkins, at Roberta, who
was a former presiding elder of the
Fort Valley district of the
Methodist church. The letter is as
follows:
Voicing the sentiment of the
' Colored Methodist church, bow
we
J our head to and the extend bereaved our family utmost in sym- the
'death of Rev. G. W. Mathews. He
was a great Christian and a friend
to the colored people in God. As ex
presiding elder of the Fort Valley
district I know that he stood by the
negroes in all battles. We met him
j j 20 campground years ago when at the the Indian colored Springs peo
pie made application to worship in
holiness meeting. It was through
Rev. G. W. Mathews that permission
was granted, He pled for us with
tears in his eyes and Bishop Holsey
and myself were permitted to meet
the committee. This beloved saint
stood by us. A prince has fallen. In
fact, all of the Mathew's family are
high Christian characters,
ments of righteousness. Hon. Judge
A. Mathews is a blessing to the ,
negroes as judge of the Superior, the day
Court. We hope and pray
will come when Judge Mathews will
he governor of Georgia. The colored
people lost a true friend when the
Lord took him from us. He was oft- j
en preaching to the colored people j
to he true to God. We believe the
Southern white people are our best
friends. We extend our heartfelt
sympathy and pray that thousands
of blessings will rest on the be
reaved family, II

GEORGIA'S ABLE
WEEKLY PRESS
Jas. B. Nevin in Atlanta Georgian
This writer has stated time and
again that in his opinion the weekly
press of the state of Georgia is the
ablest weekly press in the south,
surpassing in general excellence that
of any state touching Georgia, And
that is saying a good deal, too;
all of the states of the south have
relatively good country weeklies.
Moreover, in the opinion of this
writer, the combined influence of the
Georgia weeklies -politically, social
j ly ; and spiritually is far greater (
than that of the dailies, and as mod
els of physical excellence many of
the Georgia weeklies set some of the
dailies excellent examples. It is
in order to draw comparison . but
for the purpose of illustrating
I mean I will cite in south Georgia
The Dawson News, in middle Geor
gia the Walton Tribune and in north
Georgia the Dalton Citizen as Geor
i I gia weeklies of the very first class.
Arthur Brisbane, who Is without
j doubt writer the in the most world, widely in a read recent editorial letter

to Will Rogers, the well-known ’nu¬
morist—whose advertisements writ

regularly in the Sunday American
pays deserved tribute to the services
of the small town editors as “the
most important rendered by any class
of citizens in the United Stated
Certainly, the splendid Georgia week
ly press is fully entitled to share in
Mr. Brisbane's praise,
So much was this matter on Mr.
Brisbane’s mind at the moment that
he addressed to Mr. Rogers the fol¬
lowing letter—printed in The Fourth
Estate which very well may be read
ith profit and interest by all class
es of citizens;
“My dear Mr. Rogers: You will
learn by the inclosed that your ad¬
vertising is read—at least by one
reader. I saw that advertisement of
Bull Durham where you probably
never saw it, in the Hamlet News
Messenger, an excellent little paper
published in the active town of Ham¬
let, N. C.
“I am particularly glad to see that
Mr. P. S. Hill, who I suppose is your
boss, puts his advertising in many
of the smaller newspapers of the
country. Those are the most im¬
portant newspapers and, incidental¬
ly, in proportion to their circulation,
their advertising results are the
i biggest and their advertising rates
are the smallest in the country. They
are read through from end to end.
“Every copy of circulation means
! an entire family, not a family that
lives in one room with a can opener,

“I hope you will persuade Mr.
Hill and those that represent the ad¬
vertising department of his big com¬
pany to continue to send advertising
to what are called ‘the country news¬
papers.’ They not only pay well, but
the service that their publishers ren¬
der to the public is, in my opinion,
the most important service rendered
by any class of citizens in the Unit¬
ed States.
“The country editors are distribu¬
tors of information, they reach the
minds of the boys that leave the
farms, and they are the nation’s po¬
lice force. Sincerely yours,
U ARTHUR BRISBANE. ••

A Children s Code
A report of the Georgia Children’s
Code Commission has been received
by the library here to put on file.
The Georgia Children’s Code Com¬
mission was appointed by the Gov¬
ernor by order of the Legislature of
1921 and for the past two years has
been studying and comparing child¬
ren’s laws in Georgia and the other
states. The Children’s Code received
here in their report back to the Leg¬
islature. The Code recommends
eight laws that will be presented to
the Legislature at this summer's ses¬
sion.
In many states the laws concern¬
ing children have been framed at va¬
rious times and with various objects
in view, with the result that there is
a complete lack of harmony between
the different codes, and in some in
stances the laws are inconsistent and
contradictory.
More and more of the states have
awakened to the need of remedying

this state of affairs by standardizing,
and co-ordinating child welfare laws.
The need for a real Magna Charta
of childhood is realized more and
more widely.
Children’s Code Commissions are
being appointed to secure certain
minimum legal rights for children.
The report of the Georgia Com¬
mission certainly will receive the
deep interest of the people of this
community.
Succettful Life
The following statement made by H.
G. Wells in an article in the American
Magazine is considered by many as
the most practical definition of a suc¬
cessful life: “Wealth, notoriety, place
and power are no measure of success
whatever. The only true measure of
success is the ratio between what we
m teht have been and what we might
have done, on the one hand, and the
thing we have done and the tiling we
have made of ourselves, on the other. »«
