Getting Serious
Editor Jones, of the Fort Valley
Leader-Tribune, is an authority on
’’courting,” as the following from
his paper indicates:
“This summer courting is better
in moonlight ‘down by the old mill
Stream’ than in a crowded court
house under the relentless rays of
old Sol. ••
At the same time courting “down
by the olii mill stream" may eventual¬
ly lead to courting in a crowded
'Court house, as the divorce dockets
phow. Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Importance of Knotting
How To Pave
Snndcrsville Progress: Editor Jones
of the Fort Valley Leader states that
paved roads make easier loads, All
who have traveled them know thnt
this is true, but there is a com¬
paratively small mileage in Georgia
that is paved, as it is an expensive
undertaking. It also requires skill
and knowledge in mixing concrete
and coarse grit, as there are sam¬
ples of work done by two contractors
in Sandersville which shows the im¬
portance of knowing how. One lot of
paving is almost ns firm as granite,
while another is disintegrating daily.
The skilled contractor would uso
nothing but coarse grit, while the
other used the most convenient sand
that could be hauled.

Jones, of the Fort Valley Leader

eclipse all former presentations of
this gorgeous spectacle. There are
live wires at Fort Valley, and that

A CHILD’S THANKS
By Rose Waldo
Dear God, I love to think of Thee,
And Thy great love so plain to see
Around about us everywhere.
I love to fill my thoughts with prayer,
And sing my little song of praise,
And tell my love in other ways.
Till day begins, until it ends,
I’m thankful for my home and
friends;
I’m thankful for the glad sunlight,
And for our cheerful hearthstone
bright,
And for so many kinds of food;
For life and love and endless good,
For all the joys sent from above,
But thankful most for Thy great love.
Living and Praying
By Whitney Montgomery
I knelt to pray when day was done,
And prayed, “O Lord, bless everyone;
Lift from each saddened heart the pain
And let the sick he well again.
And then I woke another day
And carelessly went on my way.
The whole day long I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye;
I did not try to share the load
Of any brother on my road;
I did not even go to see
The sick man just next door to me.
Yet once again when day was done
I prayed, “O Lord, bless everyone.
But as I prayed, into my ear
There came a voice that whispered
clear:
<< Pause, hypocrite, before
you pray,
Who have you tried to bless to-day?
God’s sweetest blessings always go
By hands that serve him here below. >*
And then I hid my face, and cried,
• • Forgive me, God, for I have lied;
Let me but see another day
And I will live the way I pray. >■
/1 yd ro-Elect ri c
Judge II. A. Mathews, in bringing
up the matter of hydro-electric con¬
nections for Fort Valley at the Ki
wanis Club last week, sounded a call
which should command the alert at¬
tention of every citizen. If, as it was
suggested, there is an opportunity
for Fort Valley to tie up with a hy¬
dro-electric line, to ignore that op¬
portunity would be unfortunate. With
hydro-electric service from one of the
two big systems which were men¬
tioned, on anything like the basis of
cost that applies in many other Geor¬
gia cities, Fort Valley would be able
to offer current for power on terms
that would be an inducement to in¬
dustry and at the same time our peo¬
ple would lie able to get current at
reasonable rates for cooking and oth¬
er domestic use and yet enable the
city to enjoy the desirable profit
which is legitimately necessary to the
operation of other public service. Of
course these things must he estab¬
lished by careful investigation and
Fort Valley should be assured of
such advantages as are outlined above
before a radical change from the
present system is made. But we must
bear in mind that other cities do it
and enjoy distinct advantages over
Fort Valley in the matter of econo¬
my in electric service.

Facts About Tuberculosis
The National Tuberculosis associa¬
tion says that tuberculosis Is not her¬
editary, and it Is practically never
handed on from parents to a child be¬
fore birth. Infection usually conies
from tuberculous parents or relatives
who, by careless habits. Infect the
healthy child shortly after birth.
Bacteria in Currency
Coins are much more sanitary than
paper money, a recent study made by
a German bacteriologist discloses. On
a bank note which had been In circula¬
tion some time and subjected to fre¬
quent handling, ns many as 143.000
bacteria were discovered- Metallic
coins showed n much smaller bacteria
count, hut children placing them In
their mouths are in danger of infec¬
tion.
