The income tax is not giving us very much worry. We shall try to meet the boys at Thomasville in July. Forsyth county has the best crop prospects she has had in many years. Cotton, corn and all farm products are just a humping since the rain. Gardens are looking mighty fine. Great to be the possessor of one, isn’t it? Old man, “Hard Times” has left for parts un known, and we hope he will never return. Nothing bu< a crop failure can hurt the farm • er this year. Here’s hoping it wont come. Cos to your voting precinct next Tuesday, the sth, and register, and save future trouble. The loss in Atlanta’s big fire is now estimated to be five million dollars. The Buforl road is in an awful bad condition for travel just now. This ought not to be so. A dredge boat engaged in draining the Alcovy river, was badly damagedby fire last week. * Covington, Monroe and Gainesville each held a large chatauqua last weefc, lam. rvindav. ' T Jna -family Stum Did you ever see a on a monument? Guess not, and you never will. It seems nearly impossible that no one was killed in the big Atlanta fire last week, but they didn’t. 100 people were killed and two thousand left homeless in a tornado that swept over Illinois last Saturday. * i'he hail storm of last week did considerable damage to the trees, but did not damage the crops. Commencement exercises of many of the schools of the state were held last week, and others will be held this week. We are pleased to have the bright, breezy, and well printed Walton Tribune on our exchange list. The bill introduced in congress to place a tax of? 2.50 per bale on cotton, was killed when plac ec before the House for passage. Ve work on the paper three days and three nights in each week, sell calendars three days and three nights, and rest on Sunday. Creditors of the R. M. Hose Cos. have applied for a Receiver for his soft drink establishments. Wonder if he thanked them for it? Two car loads of irish potatoes, grown on five acres of land, and shipped from Douglas, Ga., netted the growers one thousand dollars. A farmer in Thomas county sold the irish po tatoes from one acre of land for six hundred dollars. This beats cotton. 6G,543 had been raised by the citizens of At lanta for the fire sufferers up to Saturday night. Atlanta always does her part to help those in dis tress. Go out next Sunday and help raise twenty thousand dollars for the Georgia .Baptist Hospi tal. A small contribution from each person will raise this amount, and more too. The pay of a private in the army is thirty dol lars per month, including board and clothes. That's more than we are making’right at this time. A FEW LINES FROM JOHNNIE SPENCER. MACON TELEGRAPH. If we get Atlanta aright, she respectfully re quests all and sundry to watch her smoke. We know something like 352 ways to lose a lead pencil. How many do you know’? The Kansas City girl who married Fred Lusher evidently doesn’t think there’s a great deal in a name. One thing about the nickle loaves of bread, you can get so many more of them in a sack now than could aforetime. Coming down town yesterday morning we stopped in front of a vegetable emporium and looked at a tomato all we wanted to. “Many houses, surrounded by flames,” says a dispatch out of Atlanta, “collasped in heaps, it was said, before the fire actually reached them.” Dr. Frank Crane says men should use 1 hpeir mule power. We’ll say this, some of them seem to have more of it than a mule has. But where’s the need of Hindenburg shifting his line as long as he can get the French and British to do it for him? General Pershing and Senator Stone come, from the same State, but already the General has lived it down. This thing of calling the food speculators bur glars should be stopped. What if the burglars get sore and double their activities just for spite? The proposition to limit individual incomes to $lOO,OOO and 'turn over to the goverment all a bove but we suppose we can stand it if every body else can. And then, again, a model wife, as we under stand it, is one who pretends she’s not listening when Friend Husband steps out of the bathtub onto a collar button. Some of those new radical statesmen in Russia appear to be as expert in throwing crossties on the track as our own statesmen over here who’ve had years of practice. We will go with the Food Dictator as far as the next one, but we certainly do hope and trust he doesn’t get it in for us and prescribe soup for breakfast. If the anti-prohibitionists along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts know what’s good ’em they’ll keep.it to themselves they see submarines arH * u 1 **----* M In th matter of vexing problems to be solved, the elimination of the U-boat appears to rank right up alongside the proposition having to do with the unscrambling of eggs. / Judging from the newspaper reports, Austria must feel about like we looked not long since when a motorcycle buck jumped us off into a ditch. Herr Doctor Kaempf says President Wilson will bite grainte. Even that, though, would be better than biting the dry and tasteless pulveriz 'd earth thousands and thousands of the doctor’s counrymen are biting over there somewhere in France. Another cause for rejoicing is the thought you didn’t have any hand in electing the United States Senator who stood up before the most dig nified body on earth (if you don t care what you say) and asked, “Who is this man Hoover?” We, are, we are proud to say, gradually taking <>n town ways, but don’t suppose we’ll ever be able to tell Central to give us three-fife-fife when we want three double five, not without giggling, anyhow. The executive committee of the Boston branch of the National Equal Rights League, whatever that is, sends a telegram to the President express ing horror at the lynching of a negro in Tennes see. The Boston Branch doesn’t appear to be at all perturbed over the fact that the victim of the lynchers had criminally assaulted a little white rirl and then cut her head off. About ten per cent of those who register next Tuesday, will be called into service. The state prison commission recommended commutation to present service for ten murder ers last Saturday. Life is getting very cheap. Don’t let the income tax worry you. If you make mere than two thousand dollars a year you can well afford to pay it. The registration of those between 21 and 31 will be done without an extra session of the leg lature. Something wonderful, isn’t it? The officers of Gwinnett county are making many arrests tor violation of the prohibition law. About three hundred gallons of "jj.iice” wa; captured last week. In Loving Memory Of sister Minnie A. Julian. Sister Julian was born in Hab ersham County, Ga., July 31st 1839, she joined the first Bap- 1 tist church at Dalton, Ga., in' the year A. 1)., 1850 and was baptised by the Rev. G. W.

Liberty church had the mis fortune to get the church-house burned down, sister Julian, sis ;er Annetta Porter and sister Ann Townsend did such profi cient work in collecting funds vith which to rebuild that the church in (conference ordered a blank page set a icart in ap preciation <Tf said labor. As the sisters are all dead we think his a suitable time to make men ion of said facts. Respectfully submitted, R. A. Elliott, L. S. Townsend, * Jeff Taylor. Committee, In i,W* •nan Memory.

She was 31 years old when the Lord says here is a vacant seat for you ;ome up higher ahd I will give you sweet rest. She leaves a husband, 4 little children, a father, 5 brothers and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Aunt Dora .vas sick about 1 week with pneumonia fever but bore her suffering with patience. She tlways had a kind and loving vord to all she met. Her spir it lias gone to God to dwell for ever. Oh, that we may all •each that happy shore, aunt Dora is done with the troubles jf this life and she had went hru a great many. She joined Lhe church at Ophir quite young and lived a Christian life intil her death. Aunt Dora was the daughter >f Mrs. A. M. Ellis and was uarried to G. M. Boling Sept. 10th, 1894. Oh how lonely the ionic is since aunt Dora is gone ;he is singing sweet songs of Zion and with her 4 children vvho have gone on before. Oh, now sad it was to see her child ren standing around the coffin aldng the last look at her, and sad for them to go home and sec no mother there and their father down with pneumonia fever. She was laid to rest at Cool Spring cemetery, Tate, Ga., dev. conducting the funeral services. Farewell dear aunt but not forever, there will be a glorious lawn v.e will meet to part no lever on the resurrection morn. Written by her neice, Neva ffiis. The Dlvle!. Three Germans had been doing an odd Job of repairing and agreed to split the pay evenly. They received $4, and, after several unsnceessful ef forts of two of them to hit upon the correct division of the amount the hird settled the business transaction hus: "Here iss it, two for you two, nd here Iss it, two for me, too.
