You are invited to join the triumphant procession of this flourishing city. Monday was Columbus day. He dis¬ covered America. Yet many of us haven’t really discovered America to¬ day, any more than have the ancient piummies of Egypt. 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. Let's Co “Build or bust! exclaims Editor Jones, of the Fort Valley Leader Tribune. Well, it is better not to bust, but if it takes that to build, let's move ahead. — Columbus Enquirer Sun. Fort Valley Leader %/ Advertising State Dawson News: Fort Valley is nl ,ready planning for the peach festival next spring, and, if possible, will eclipse all former presentations of this gorgeous spectacle. There are live wires at Fort Valley, and that town has done more than any other to advertise Georgia. Dr. Haslam Locates Here Dr. J. E. Haslam will open offices in the Citizens Bank of Fort Valley building within a few days. Dr. Has hun comes from Albany, and former¬ ly lived in Marshallville. He is well known and will receive a cordial wel¬ come to this city. With Mrs. Haslam and two children, he will make his home in the residence formerly OC eupied by Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Wil¬ liams, on Persons street. 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. New Library Books The Thomas Public Library has just received a loan of fifty books for children from the Georgia Library Commission. Mrs. J. E. Davidson has been visit¬ ing- in Columbus this week. No matter what you think you can’t do, you are right about it. The average man is usually so glad to get home from a social that he is glad that he went. Girls should never throw kiSses unless they really wish to miss the mark. The majority may rule if the mi¬ nority/ isn’t made up of women. Woman may be the weaker vessel, but man is often broke. 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. the leader-tribune, fort valley, ga., Thursday, October 15 , 1925 .
