Now to look upon the watermelon
when it is red.
Yes, it’s hot weather. Andy Gump
says somehow he has always noticed
that in winter it is cold and in sum¬
mer it is hot. Yet the matter is one
of constant comment.
Joel Mann Martin, former editor of
The Leader-Tribune, was the guest
of his brother, C. E. Martin, during
the week-end. He was given a hearty
greeting by his numerous friends
here.
Say what you please, we know one
town where there has been much im¬
provement in law enforcement and
observance in recent days. This is
Fort Valley. It can be done when,
and as much as, folks want it done.
Editor W. J. Dozier, of the Doug¬
las County Sentinel, brightened The
Leader-Tribune office with his jolly
spirit Wednesday morning. He said
the crops in Peach county looked fine
113 compared with the Douglasville
section and other parts of the state
which have suffered from drought.
Let’s everybody get together and
buy the handsome Wright place on
Church street for a community house.
With such a converging point for our
civic forces Fort Valley would flour¬
ish into a new blaze of glory. Things
would happen around here.

THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1925.
Truth lives on independence; it is
universal, because it is the most per¬
sonal thing in the world.
Therefore prize your personality,
and remember to keep it sacred.
—David Leslie Brown.
The impossible has happened. The
Leader-Tribune has washed its win
dows and doors. Every delinquent
subscriber is invited to come in and
witness the wonderful sight. Admis
sion $1.50 per year. Remember—
PLEASE—THANKS!”
Editor J. M. Anglin, of Lumpkin,
passed through Fort Valley with his
family several days ago. He is pub
lishing a splendid paper in the
Stewart-Webster Journal. Upon his
return home he wrote an interesting
article about his trip which we are
reproducing in this paper.
Jiu-Jitsu Brown” is what the Fort
Valley Leader-Tribune calls him.
That’s not bad, but we maintain that
“Machine John” is more democratic.
Again, there is nothing “foreign” in
the nomenclature, and it appeals in
stantly to all 100 per cent Amen
cans. ’—Dalton Citizen.
Our Country hath a gospel of her
own
To preach and practice before all
the world—
The freedom and divinity of man,
The glorious claims of human
brotherhood, . . •
And the soul’s fealty to none but
God. —James Russell Lowell.
In life’s small things be resolute
and great
To keep thy muscles trained;
Thou knowest not when Fate
Thy measure takes, or when she’ll
say to thee,
“I find thee worthy, do this thing
for me.' —Emerson.
Jest don’t go gittin’ sorry for your¬
self;
All that you’re bearin’ lots of
folks must bear;
Jest turn to huntin’ blessin’s and
you'll find
Them shinin’ things a-growing
everywhere.
—Clinton Dangerfield.
Mrs. Orren W. Massey, president
of the National Dixie Highway Aux¬
iliary, with other officers and edi-
tors of the Dixie Highway magazine,
have produced an anniversary num¬
ber of that publication which is of
distinct interest and value. It is at
once an expression of the progres¬
sive spirit of Georgia and a splendid
guide book for tourist straveling over
the Dixie Highway. One feature of l
particular interest here is the page
carrying a beautiful peach orchard
scene and complimentary mention of
Fort Valley. Copies of this magazine
may be obtained at cost from the
Macon Food Clinic. i
GEORGIA PEACH TASTE
| (Savannah Press)
j A public-spirited citizen of Georgia
complains that not enough people of
the state have an honest-to-goodness
peach taste. He repeats that “It is
jjffj cu ]^ get a Georgia Belle or
an Elberta even in Savannah, and in
some South Georgia cities it is im¬
possible.” California hotels and res¬
taurants pride themselves upon their
fruit and sell it cheaply for advertis

trees, it costs 15 cents for a half
in a restaurant. In Georgia, even
in Macon, two peaches in a dab
of cream cost 20 cents, while
hucksters half a block away from j
any hotel or restaurant are sell¬
ing them by the basket for 25
cents, or less than a cent for
each f>each.
Guess the Reason
Nervous breakdowns, scarcely
known thirty years ago, are now
common, both in this country and in
England. Of course “there's a rea¬
son,” but the doctors are not agreed
upon just what it is.—Albany Herald.
The Governor and
Tax Legislation
While we believe Governor Walker ;
is mistaken in his recommendation
of a state income tax, we salute him
for having brought the legislature
and Georgia as a whole to a more
serious consideration of our tax prob
lems than we yet have experienced,
Order yet may come out of chaos.
Attention Fort Valley
There is a great deal lying befohe
Moultrie.
The next twelve months will be
busy months.
Unless we are mistaken, we will
take many forward steps.
There is one thing, however, that
must go ahead of all the other big
things to be done.
We must make this a mosquitoless
city.
We cannot build on a foundation
of mosquitoes.
Fortunately the city officials are 1
awake to the necessity of doing this
job well, and they are leading in the
anti-mosquito fight. They are stand¬
ing for a full program of sanitation,
drainage and complete inspection.
They are not indorsing half-way
measures. They are not supporting
the movement in a half-hearted way.
They are strong in their purpose to
U^ht this battle once for all, and
fight it through to victory. They fa¬
vor laying a foundation of health and ,
comfort in Moultrie on which to build
t h e other big units of progress in
the coming months. They propose to
