wait until the last minute to read our
books.
After studying plants in our Biolo

serve for ornamental purposes only,
but also to manufacture food for the

some "plant sense” into our thick
heads.

EIGHTH GRADE
We have just finished a chapter in

about protecting the workers and the
workers and the following topic) *
were debated in class today.

Since 1904 the Rank of Cumming has been ren
dering a vast service to its friends and customers.
Through these long years this bank has contin

aim is to render the same prompt and efficient
service in the years to come.
The deposits in this bank are insured under the
terms of the Banking Act of 1933.
Upon the past record we solicit at least part of
your business.

An old lady had bean givan a parrat
which had come from Africa, and the
was showing it to her gardner.
“Do you know,” she said, "this parrot

gent that when it singe Home Sweet
Home tears run down ite cheeks?”
“Yes, mum, I knows them African
parrots, I had one and it used to
whistle The Village Biacftsmith so'
beautiful that sparks used to fly from j
Its tail.”
Lots of men would leave their foot
prints
On time’s eternal sands of grace,
Had they gotten mother’s slipper
At the proper time and place.
Have you ever stopped to wonder
at Fate’s peculiar ways? Nearly all
our famous men were born on holi
days.
NO FREE ANTI
TOXIN FOR 1934
The State Department of Public j
Health will not be able to furnish 1
free diptheria antitoxin during 1934.
Physicians are requested to purchase
antitoxin from their local druggists
whenever possible. Antitoxin for use
among the indigent may be obtained
from us at board of health prices.
Orders will be filled C. 0. D. How
ever, county, ordinaries and county
and city health departments will he
given the privilege of open account,
provided payment is made in thirty
days. ,
Each county in the state should
keep this Antitoxin on hand for em
ergency cases as their are a lot of
families throughout the State of Geor
gia that will be unable to pay for this
treatment and surely they cannot ex
pect their local physician to bear this
expense and give his services.
