Yea, Yea Some one says that it takes more than a gold band to make a good cigar. Yes, and more than a nicely creased pair of trousers to make a man. Walton Tribune. A Prayer Give me clean hands, clean words, and clean thoughts; help me to stand for the hnrd light against the easy wrong; save me from habits that harm; teach me to work as hard and play as fair in Thy sight alone as if the whole world saw; forgive me when I am unkind, and help me to forgive those who are unkind to me; keep me ready to help others at some cost to myself; send me chances to do a little good every day and so grow more like Christ.—Wm. De Witt Hyde. Sentence Sermons From “Every fellow for himself” to “Every self for his fellow.” From “I can’t” to “I’ll be one who will try.” From “Business is business” to “Life is living.

Georgia Makes Progress In spite of everything said to the contrary Georgia has made more sub¬ stantial progress in the last six years than ever made in any similar period in the history of the state. We have built creameries, established hatch¬ eries, developed the peach industry, grown new money crops, such as pea¬ nuts, pecans, pimento peppers, etc., etc. Georgia is doing mighty well. and is destined to do much better in the near future—Jackson Progress-, Argus. i Editor Gordon S. Chapman, of the Sandersville Progress, has returned i 1 from Richmond and other points in Virginia, New York and the Atlantic ' ocean, after a month’s trip with the National Editorial Association, j i n the meantime, the senior editor, C. B. Chapman, had been away for five weeks in the Ozark mountains. Edi¬ tor Chapman’s first act upon his re¬ turn is very properly to commend the excellent work of J. Frank Jack son, who had served as acting edi¬ tor and manager. We editors have I such revelations frequently when we escape from captivity, yet, as we have remarked before, let us hope that the editor, after all, is not al¬ together an unnecessary evil. If we had to choose between a cow and an automobile we would not hesi¬ tate to take the cow. Not, that we have anything against the automo¬ bile; not that we do not like to ride in the things. In many instances, they are necessities. In many others con¬ veniences. In others, luxuries. They are here to stay. But you can’t feed a family on automobiles. Good rich milk is better for children than gaso line. Cows never run into a ditch and wound or kill the owner. If we had as much money invested in good milk cows, as we have in automo biles, and if we were prepared to properly care for those cows, we would be ready to form a dairy asso¬ ciation in Commerce that would be an asset, instead of a liability—Com snerce News. THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT V ALLEY, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1925. Respect For Lmv 'The true measure of a greatness is their respect for law, is the powerful quotation which a printed motto at the bottom of letter head of the State of Game and Fish with Peter Twitty at its head.

His influence is not as a great man towards his country greater, but as a man en from true greatness to the ness of the little hole which the mighty dam of the protection i a w and government against an(J anarc hy. The observance of law is the dation of government. A good ment, more or less, may exist progress towards improvement it lacks some good laws, but general, flagrant violation ° f law, however good it may be, to weaken respect for all law government and dissipate the character of the citizenship whom that government depends existence and honor. No nation ever became so that it could endure in the face broad disrespect for law. The est need in the whole world today is for the world’s hope as a America, to re-dedicate herself respect for and allegiance to her sacred Constitution and laws. One thing is certain, in the of the history of the rise and fall nations: America must bring her laws within the range of her peo¬ ple’s respect, or her people must tear themselves from blindness and rally as an invincible host of patriots the banner of law observance. A nation—a government—and people cannot march long in ways any more than either the head or the heart can live one without the other. Now Just Listen at Editor J. Doyle Jones! There is room in Butts county for nn expansion of the peach industry. Some years ngo a number of farmers began to plant peach trees in an ef¬ fort to have an income when cotton failed. The trees are now coming into bearing and this season promises to be a profitable one. Peaches fail times, just as all other crops, on the whole the peach industry appears to be a safe and dependable source of income. The money comes nt a season of the year when it is certainly appreciated. The red hills of Middle Georgia produce a supe peach, There is no question about that.—Jackson Progress-Argus.

Atkinson, who is chairman c f the board of the Georgia Railway j and Power Company, declares we have become a nation of law makers land law breakers. He says: j I “What we need is fewer laws on thg statute books, more respect for . | aw an( j more regard for justice in the minds and conscience of men. “I do not mean that we should take less interest in government. On the other hand we should take a more active interest than ever be fore. The greatest trouble is that too many of us have pursued the even tenor of our way and left the affairs of state to the politicians and soap box orators. The result has been that the highest offices within the gift of the people have been brought into more or less disrepute and are sel dom , sought by men of mnrkpd marked ahil- abil ’ ity nd high principles. a “We have defaulted in our obliga tions to society and need an aroused public conscience with particular ref erenee to our duty as citizens as it relates to the affairs of state and conduct of government. ft our F/ag Etiquette Flag Day—June 14th—has come and gone for this year, but the 4th of July is near at hand and some of us may want to display the good old , if it is trjo co[or on tbat day. And I displayed, of course, we want it done | ■orrectly. Better not fling Old Glory I to . the breeze than to fling it and j J have cr jti c isms brought in down which on it our is he , uls f or the manner done. The United States Army has issued a sort of treatise on the proper wmy to display the flag. It tells us how to honor the flag and at the same time not “treat it rough, »» In this connection the army authority tells us: “There are only two ways to dis¬ play the American flag properly. One is to fly the flag from a staff, with all its folds freely unfurled. The oth¬ er is to hang the flag flat, with its full horizontal or verticle length fall¬ ing evenly and the starry field at the top and to the observer's left. Any other way, by placing Old Glory in a secondary position, is sure to sug¬ gest lack of dignity and respect. n Here are some don’t for flag dis¬ plays: Don’t festoon it over doorways or arches, tie it in a bowknot or drape it as a rosette. Use bunting for such secondary displays. Don’t put it on the outside in a cluster—it must be in the center. Don’t put a flag on a staff at a speaker’s left, and if not flown from a staff don’t fold it behind a speaker —lay it out flat. Don’t put the flag on the left of any other flags when carried in a procession. Don’t put it below- other flags when flown from a staff. At the peak— that’s the place for Old Glory. Dou't run a flag up slowly—put ginger in it—run it up briskly to the top of the staff. Don’t run it down briskly—this should be done slowly and ceremo¬ niously. Don’t use it for advertising pur¬ poses —it looks badly—and besides it is against the law'. Don’t fly a flag at half-mast by running it partly way up a i MAN Smooth was the sea on which man safely rode; No maddened billows churned life’s tranquil main; Upright he was in Eden’s pure abode, Nor of disaster dreamed and death’s long reign. A prostrate column here that used , to be p ar ^. 0 f a gtruc t ure great, a temple 1 grand, Wails a lament, the voice of the debris Which none but God Himself can un derstand. In exile’s galling chains man often weeps, And drapes all nature with his deep death groans. J j Above his helpless head sin’s tempest sweeps To drown the pray’r his soul in an guish moans. For man today is the accepted time; Through Christ he may full pardon now receive, And know the rest of heaven’s joy ous clime i If he will in the Lord of life believe. —W. C. CARTER. pole—run it all the way up and then bring it into the desired position. j Don’t use the flag for athletic uni forms, napkins, or handkerchiefs. It is not illegal to do this but is is a violation of patriotic feeling. i We are told by this authority that there is an old army custom which affords an opportunity to do rever ence to the Stars and Stripes when j old and active frayed flags are withdrawn the from service. By it blue ‘ field is cut from the flag. Then the separate pieces of the flag, which is ; j no longer a flag, are burned and their ashes scattered on the parade ground, j | All of us want to honor the flag. ^ So commit some of these suggestions | to memory and do it properly when nex t you are associated with the R e d, White and Blue.—Savannah p res s. - A recent survey showed the aver age assessed va j ue 0 f property per jnhabitant jn Georgia to be * 401 .
