The critical illness of Hon. Hal

On his recent visit to Columbus
Congressman Stephen Pace of
Americus, is quoted by W. C.
Tucker as saying: “I had thought
thatl would feel older as a grand
pa, but I actually feel much young
er.” The new-comer has taken up
its permanent abode at the home
of Mr. and Mrs William D. Swift
Jr., the latter a daughter of Con
gressman and Mrs. Pace. Speaking
further with reference to Mr. Pace's
visit to Columbus Mr. Tucker says:
"Mr. Pace was greeted by a large
number of friends during his visit
to the city. The highlight of his vis-
itwas the eloquent address deliver
ed Tuesday night at the Lions
Club. He made a timely appeal for
national unity, and received many
congratulations at the conclusion
of his speech. Mr. Pace is always
welcome in Columbus though in re
cent months the pressure of offi
cial duties in Washington has pre
vented him from coming here fre
quently."

America is doing well in the

of the Nazi propaganda agencies as
outlined by the Office of Facts and

Being an agricultural region,
the South is greatly interested in
farm prices. American farmers
have been told to produce all the
food crops possible in 1942, nor is
it doubted that the green light
will still be showing in 1943. Be
ing human, the farmer wants all
he can get for what he produces
but if he is wise he will consider
the fact that our whole economy
is involved in the current up
heavals caused by the war. Agri
culture needs a program that
will take it safely through not
only the war period but the years
that are to follow, far more than
it needs a sort of “high-price
spree” such as many observers
fear.—Albany Herald.

Standing on the street corner
just before dawn Tuesday morning
a gentleman, mistaken for the
city's night officer spoke out in a
clear voice in response to a local
citizen's friendly salutation. To the
amazement of said local citizen,
the gentleman with the clear voice
proved to be none other than the
amiable Judge of the Superior
Court of the Chattahoochee Circuit
the Honorable George C. Palmer,
who was spending the week in
Butler presiding over the April
term of Taylor Superior Court, who
confessed that his only reason for
leaving comfortable quarters at the
local hotel was for the purpose of
taking his daily early morning
constitutional a habit adopted inthe
long ago. In relating his constitu
tional habit Judge Palmer referred
to an incident occurring some years
ago while on a visit to New York
that came near landing him in jail
for impersonating a policeman.
But, said the Judge, “I would go to field
jail any time for the privilege of offer
escorting
on her way to church.”
Dudley Glass,as will most of our
readers, conclude this to be
most generous offer: “Editor Lang
of the Omega News—down in
South Gawgy—has been taking
lessons in flying. He allows as
how he is goin' to take off pretty
soon and land in Harry Horn-
buckle's peanut patch and if ev
erything is o. k. after that he may
lake up a few passengers. Any la
dy more than 80 years old will get
a free ride, says Mr. Lang, pro
vided she is accompanied to the
by both parents. This
is good only for Sunday—
lady across the street and if it doesn't rain. I hope it
i rains.”
