i had a paper to write m the times

What's happened to dollars and quar

0l . what has become of the crops
that we grow.
I'd pass up inflation as too deep for

If we’d think more of others and
less of ourselves.
Things have turned topsy-turvy, but
hatred and rage
Won’t set them aright nor
brickbats and sticks.
j,. B not so much figures on
ledger page,
Put our hearts and our minds that
perhaps we should fix

demand
An d seeking for pleasure we’ve all
gone astray.
Contentment’s not made by the law
of the land,
But must come to us all in the old-
fashioned way.
The old-fashioned honor that lives
to its word,
The old-fashioned courage that
l keeps to its creed,
A little less hatred when wrong has
occurred,
A little more faith may be all that
we need.
Statistics I’m sure are oft misunder

Put when labor and capital walk
hand in band
With respect for each other I know
’twill be good
For the peace of the home and the
peace of the land.

ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS
MRS. J. P. SHUMATE
HONORED AT SHOWER
Talbotton, Ga., Jan. 15.—Mrs. J. P.
Shumate, a recent bride and the
former Miss Louise Brandon, was
honored Friday afternoon with a
miscellaneous shower given by the
Woman’s Missionary Societies of the
Talbotton Baptist church.
Music, readings and contests fur
nished the amusement after which
little James Morgan entered drawing
a small express wagon filled with
gifts which he presented to Mrs.
Shumate. Mrs. J. A. Smith presided
over the bride’s book. Hot chocolate
and dainty cake were served.
Columbus, Ga., Jan. 14.—All the
members of a family of four were
severely burned late Saturday night
her when their parked automobile was
rammed by a car driven by a negro
on the Glade road End reports frpm
the city hospital Sunday were to the
effect that each of them was in a se
rious condition.
Those suffering burns and other in
juries were: John Simpson, 36; his
wife, Mrs. Margaret Simpson, 31, and
their two sons, Bernard Simpson 13,
and Aubrey Simpson, 10. The Simp
sons’ home is on Forest drive.
It was feared that Bernard Simp
son's bums would prove fatal, but
physicians at the hospital believed
that his parents and younger brother
would recover if complications did
not develop.
Chief George McKenney and As
sistant Chief Frank Morris, of the
county police force, arrested James
Shepherd, 30, negro, of Columbus, as
the driver of the new Chevrolet that
dashed into the rear of a Ford V8.
The negro also was injured. The crash
which occurred just outside the >'ity
limits, caused the Ford to catch fire
and the fire department responded to
a nalarm.

ANYTHING LESS THAN THE
BEST IS SOLD AT A DISCOUNT
That the trend of railroad rater,
both passenger and freight, is defi
nitely downward in contrast to ad
vancing prices in other industries, is
the subject of a statement issued by
H. D. Pollard, Receiver of the Central
of Georgia Railway, and published
elsewhere in this issue of the Herald.
Mr. Pollarj say*: "Reductions in
passenger fuves run as high as 58
per cent. The prevailing rate in coach
es ir. this territory is now 1 1-2 cents
per mile, less than half of what it was
in 1933. Pullman passengers are no
longer required to pay a surcharge,
and the rate is 2 cento per mile round
trip, 3 cento per mile one way. The
emergency charge” has been re
moved from all freight shipments,
thus effecting a general reduction,
and there have been many specific re
ductions.”
In offering “improved service, es
sentially safe, adequate and reliable,
at rates substantially reduced," Mr.
Pollard says the railroads are doing
the part expected of them toward re
vival of business activity and the
restoration of national prosperity. He
says: ,
“The railroads earnestly solicit and
confidently anticipate public support
of this policy and will sincerely ap
preciate public patronage. They will
further appreciate legislative action
which will accord them fair and equal

There is an old and very true say
ing that “what the eye doesn’t see
the heart doesn’t fancy,” but it is also
true that the eye sees many things
that blind the heart to that which it
would otherwise fancy.
How often have you seen a blemish
on the face of an otherwise beautiful
woman, so noticeable that whenever
you looked at her you could not keep
your eyes off the blemish? She might
be wonderfully gowned, marvelously
groomed and exquisitely coifed, but
try as you might, you could see only
the mar.
The appearance of anything either
repels or invites ownership. Eighty
per cent of those things sold today
are purchased through, or the pur
chase is influenced by the eye. What
a thing looks like, therefore is ex
tremely important in creating a de
sire in the minds of others for it.
The appearance of a town is just as
important as the appearance of a
ppekage, the appearance of a show
window,, clothing, or anything that is
purchased in the store or on the
market.
Why do they put colored wrappers
on cans of beans, corn ard tomatoes;
p doesn’t make the contents of the
car any better. Why do automobile
manufacturers spend so much time,
care and money on the exterior ap
pearance of the motor car: it doesn’t
make the motor rum any smoother or
last any longer, or make the car ride
ar.y easier.
Any package, even though the con
tents be unharmed, depreciates in
value if the cover is .soiled, torn, or
the least bit mutilated. Furniture with
the least scratch; a suit, even though
nc”er worn, that has faded; a
Chevrolet, said to have been traveling
at a fast rate of speed, struck it in
the rear. The Ford turned over
against a pole about 26 feet distant
and caught 1 fire. Morshnll Horton,
negro, who saw the accident, told a
newspaper reporter that Mr. Simpson
was just taking his place at .thewheel
of the automobile at the time it was
struck. His wife was on the front
seat and the little boys were on the
rear seat. The Chevrolet rontinued
30 or 40 feet on the road but did not
turn over. The front part of the Chev
rolet was badly damaged. The Ford
appeared to be a total wreck.

operation their continued ability to

Look around you and see all the
things that are made to look attrac
tive in order that you may be attract
ed thereby—then- think of your town.
The picture of many communities
would sen-e well for a puzzle picture
of “What’s Wrong Here?’’ Stand
hoik and take a good look at the pic
ture of your own front yard, your
store, your office building, your foc-
trry. Does it look GOOD or are you
half-way ashamed of it? Are you
proud of it, or do you apologize for
tne look" when company calls or peo
ple start talking about it?
Selling a town—and to keep pace
with modem times, it must be sold
is like selling anything else. Therefore
how your town looks is of vital im
portance. There are few towns that
are not very much like the “otherwise
beautiful woman”—their beauty is so
mamed by blemishes that the be
holder cannot see the attractiveness
for looking at the scars.
Do your part—set an example by
eliminating the scars, the blemishes

The fleece-lined beer sticn goes
to one of our future druggists who
pulled the prize boner lor this
week by telling l’.is best lady
friend just how much he cared lor
her without knowing the lady seat
ed beside her was ucr mother; to
him we suggest that ho become
better acquainted with the family.
. . . One of the most pathetic
scenes took place on one of our
mam streets; a young man and
young lady were 1 out horseback
riding (double) while two ^ young
gents stood looking on with that
sick calf look. Oh boy, were they
disgusted and how? . . . We won-
der what was being considered by
the “round the stove" conference
held in the rear of one of our gen
eral stores; what ever it was, we
are willing to stake our 1 bottom
buck that it was very fun-iy for
you could hear the laughter from
across the street. ... a young lady
of our acquaintance seems to have
gone in competition with the den
tists by making car.dy that will
knock your teeth out; so far the
candy has found fair succes having
pulled a couple. The same lady
seems to be specializing in mar
keting being coached by a .certain
young market-man i l a neighbor
ing town—at least that is what we
think ... The young hombre who
comes to the ball game with lip
stick smeared over his face should
suggest to the little fern that F.he
use the “kiss proof” kind that, is
so popular with some other “little
gals” we know . . . Wonder why
the little lady and the young man
who rides in the truck could not
get together at the last batl game
. . . The old V-8 l.es lost none ol
its popularity. We counted orly
seven boys and two married men
around it one afternoon this week
