THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1925.
Welcome home from Ilorida!
Yes, things are booming down
there.
Sure! and those folks hit ’er up in
high speed.
You can do the same thing here
and make the welkin ring with
PROSPERITY.
Step on the gas and watch Miss
Prosperity’s eyes sparkle and the
rich color rise in her checks.
All aboard for the Georgia Press
Convention, West Point, LaGrange,
Atlanta and Tallulah Falls.
Georgia peaches yet are going to
the markets. In Fort Valley we are
charmed every day, summer and win¬
ter, with Georgia peaches going to
market. Oh, boy!
If thou wouldst learn a lesson that
will keep
Thy heart from fainting, and thy
soul from sleep,
Go to the woods and hills.—Longfel¬
low.
Talk about Henry Ford’s synthetic
cow! Give us the old fashioned moon¬
worshipping cow. Nothing for us hut
’er and her buttermilk. No wonder
she jumped over the moon. A year of
her strength-giving nectar and any
man can do it.
The Journal will not accept legal
advertising without the longrccn ac¬
companying copy. And we are not
mad, either. We’re just talking
PLAIN BUSINESS, that’s all.—Lin¬
coln Journal.
They move so fast up in Atlantn
that a hearse struck a little boy and
knocked him down.—Savannah Press.
We once knew a town where they
moved so slow that the hearse moved
along the streets and picked them up.
Quoting a recent editorial from The
Leader-Tribune, Editor Tipton Cof¬
fee remarks in li is West Point News;
«< We want to thank Johnny most
heartily for his complimentary re
marks on West Point, and to say
if we should ever establish a new
base, we would want to locate
Fort Valley.”
Don't argue over which progres¬
sive movement we shall accomplish
first. Grab ’em as w-e meet ’em.
Nothing succeeds like success. Fort
Valley can be made >the metropolis
of middle Georgia. If you don’t be
lieve it, you have no hope in Florida
where belief is the substance of all
things hoped for.
Personal note to Louie Morris, of
Hartwell: Bet the Fort Valley
termilk is better than that of Hart
well which you have made famous.
However, you deserve a gold medal
for the inspiration.—Fort Valley Lea
der-Tribune.
All right, Johnny, just bring along
a quart jar full to West Point; We’ll
do the same and let the judges decide
this.—Hartwell Sun.
Dr. Ashby Jones doesn’t believe in
governors’ proclamations for prayer
for rain. Governor I’eay, of Tennes
see, has the same opinion. He says
people should not pray especially for
rain; they should pray all the time,
rain or shine. The main point to us
is, believing in the efficacy of prayer,
that if an especial prayer will bring
an especial rain, regularity of both
would naturally follow for a wise,
God-fearing humanity;
A GREAT DISCOVERY
After much time and expense we
have secured a germ which can be
put in your patrons’ Nuggets that
will give those who borrow one the !
seven years itch. So we give such j
,
persons due notice.—Dahlonega
get.
Governor Walker’s appointment of
Ernest Camp, editor of the Walton
Tribune, as a trustee of the Woman’s
College at MilledgeviUe is bringing
forth many expressions of happiness
throughout the state. It is also excit¬
ing the envy of J. J. Howell, the
Duke of Griffin and other princely
bachelor editors.
Buttercup nodded and suid “Goodbye,”
Clover and Daisy Water-lifies went off together,
But the fragrant lie,
Yet moored in the golden August
weather;
The Swallows chatter about their
flight,
The Cricket chirps like a rare good
fellow,
The Asters twinkle in clusters bright,
While the com grows ripe, and the
apples mellow.—Celia Thaxter.
It Didn’t Fall
“Welcome, Fall! exclaims Editor
Jones, of the Fort Valley Leader-Tri¬
bune. Whether or not Fall has ar¬
rived in Fort Valley we do not know,
but it would seem that Editor Jones
thinks it has.—Columbus Enquirer
Sun.
The Statesman
The statesman throws his shoulders
hack and straightens out his tie,
And says, “My friends, unless it rains
the weather will be dry.”
And when this thought into our
brains has percolated through
We common people nod our heads
and loudly cry, “How true."
—Hartwell Sun.
Bob Is That Kind of a Lovable
Spirit—NOT Spirits
We do not understand what Editor
Jones, of the Fort Valley Leader-Tri¬
bune, means when, in referring to a
visit to Fort Valley of Editor Duke,
of the Griffin News, he says that
the Griffin editor “trickled” into the
Leader-Tribune office, but “oozed >•
out again. To be sure we have been
having some < - melting” weather here
of late, hut we didn’t think it was
bad enough to cause a man to “trickle”
and “ooze.' (Dont suppose it could
have been anything “trickling” or
“oozing from Editor Duke’s pocket,
or anything like that.)—Columbus
Enquirer-Sun.
Winner of Our Prize Bottle
of Skeeter-Skoot
We give it up, Florida excur¬
sionists nre too numerous to men¬
tion. It is now news when some¬
body has not just returned from
or is not just leaving for Florida.
“Curiosity killed the cat,” but
thank goodness all of our folks
seem to survive their curiosity
about Florida and live long
enough to get hack home. In a
week or two we’re going to offer
a reward for the man or woman
who has not just returned from
or is not fixing to make a trip
to the ballybhoo state.—Fort Val¬
ley Leader-Tribune.
We have never taken a prize of
any kind, hut we are going to get
that one, and Editor Jones may as
send it along now, because we
have not been to Florida and are not
any preparation or arrange¬
ment to go.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
A few years ago a Sandersville
banker made advances to a member
of the Primitive Baptist church,
amounting to $700.00. Crops proved
to be a failure, and those engaged
in this line of industry found that
they had not fliade enough to pay the
expenses incurred. Not a word was
said to the debtor about meeting his
obligations. The next year he paid
« P»rt of it, and kept this up until
entire debt was liquidated. The
banker knew that his debtor was a
conscientious man, and he had faith
his moral character. When the last
payment was made he insisted on
every cent of interest being added.
but knowing that it had been a hard
struggle no interest would be no
If every man in Georgia is as
honest ns this member of the Primi¬
tive Baptist Church wo would like to
have the privilege of recording the
fact.—Sandersville Progress.
A COURAGEOUS EDITOR
John Centman, who “skinned” The
Leader out of a year’s subscription,
was in town Tuesday with a load of
watermelons.—Oxford, Iowa, Leader.
NEWSPAPERS NEED SUPPORT
The newspapers cannot fight your
battles alone. It must be supported—
supported liberally. The more you
spend with your newspaper, the more
it can do for you. The newspaper is
expected to keep the community
pumped full of life, work for new in
dustries, boost this and boost that,
They are glad to do these things but
they must have adequate support to
able to render effective service.—
Jackson Progress-Argus.
THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1925.
SERVICE
Come, gird a towel round your waist,
If you would like to be
A person of esthetic taste,
And known from sea to sea.
Some choose in wicked ways to go.
Hut Heaven’s ladder’s where
The poor man robbed near Jericho
Needs food, and raiment, care.
"To pass by on the other side,”
And hear not hiB complaint,
Is to deny the Lord Who died
To make of you a saint.
Girt with a towel you may do
The work to you assigned;
The wounded balm, to God be true,
And show the Christly mind.
Girt with a towel! preach and
pray,
And toil while shines the sun.
So shall you hear the Savior say,
“Come home, most faithful one.”
—W. C. CARTER.
The Flapper
Will somebody define a, “flapper?”
—Commerce News.
A coat of paint and a dashing air,
A grin and a smirk and a bunch of
hair;
A scrap of cloth that goes so far,
A whoop and a squeal—and there
you are!
—Walton Tribune.
Sympathy for Editor
J. W. McWhorter
The hearts of many Georgians, es¬
pecially his devoted friends in the
newspaper field, go out to that sterl¬
ing Christian gentleman, Editor J.
W. McWhorter of the Winder News,
in his grief over the death of Mrs.
McWhorter a few days ago.

Of special interest to hunters is
the game law, as amended during
the recent session of the Georgia
legislature. The changes made give
the state an almost new law, all of
tending to reduce the length of

of the legal bag for the day. The

MERRY CLOWNS IN SHOW
Fifty of the world’s best and mer¬
riest clowns are largely responsible
for the attractiveness this year of
Lee Bros. Wild Animal Show. There
is not a moment during the three
hours that the doors are open that
the audience is not laughing at some
droll stunt or funny antic of the
of comedians. 1

In the ranks of the Lee Bros, show
have originated all the best clown
acts that people all over the world

century. As usual, this season they
have an entirely new array of amus¬
ing skits, pantomimes, burlesques and
travesties, The arena swarms with
merry fellows, each on the alert for

whose original and fantastic make
ups and quaint drollery are not to
be resisted by man or child. Every
place that the show has exhibited
