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.

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.

LONG Fort Georgia Valley, 4 i 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 i BIOPSIS desert shall life’s magic presence know, And bloom as erst on that primeval day Ere Eve’s pure heart had known the reign of wo The high curriculum, words can’t portray, g ar th shall begin beneath the peace ful sway of righteousness, and paths un¬ thought be trod, And in her orbit vast eternal May Shall tongue the hills and harp the senseless sod To hymns of highest minstrelsy, the love of God. _W.

Are you ready to enter this fight, and stay until the victory is won?—Moultrie Observer.
