Here’s a little poem “snitched"
from the Cracker Postmaster that
is so much in keeping with our
thoughts we take the privilege and
pleasure of presenting it to our
readers. Be it remembered the
Cracker Postmaster was estab
lished a little more than 17 years
ago by our dear friend, Wiley West
former Decatur, Ga., Postmaster
and your Humble Servant, since
which time the Cracker has been
published here in the Herald
plant. For the past year and a
half the Cracker has been ably
edited by our highly esteemed
friend Hon. Arley D. Finley, post
master at Hazlehurst. The poem is
entitled “A Little Prayer”:
If any little word of mine
May make a life the brighter;
If any little song of mine
May make a heart the lighter.
God help me speak the little word,
And take my bit of singing,
And drop it some lonely vale
To set the echoes ringing.
If any little love of mine
May make a life the sweeter;
If any little care of mine
May make a friend’s the fleeter;
If any littl# lift may egse
The burden of another,
God give me love, and care and
strength
To help my toiling brother.
Our neighbor newspaper, The
Thomaston Times, claims to have
third highest circulation of weekly
newspapers in the state. It is de
serving of this credit, say we. The
Times states: “Publication of the
Free Press and the The Thomaston
Times each week reqires more than
6,000 pounds of newsprint.”
WON’T IT BE FUN?
By Eugene Anderson in the
Macon Telegraph
In Monroe County ever gets any
of the good roads about which she
and her friends have been talking
for the past 100 years, she’ll be the
garden spot of Georgia, for she has
some big advantages over most
counties. She has more road-build
ing material alongside for hard
surfaced or graveled roads, she
has more springs, streams, high
lands and bottomlands, as the la
mented Dr. Gibson said when
asked What brought him to Forsyth

has more conditions thta insure
good health than any other com
munity.”
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE INFLUENCE OF WOMEN
Speaking of TIME, the Detroit
Life says:
There’s a time to part and a time
to meet,
There’s a time to sleep and a time
to eat,
There’s a time to work and a time
to play,
There’s a time tq work and a time
to play,
There’s a time to sigh and a time
to pray,
There's a time that’s blue,
There’s a time to plan and time
to do.
There’s a time to grin and show
your grit,
But there never was a time to
quit.
It has been said that for the
first time in history the United
States has lost a war. Whether that
be true or not certain it is that we
have not won this one.
By Jim Chism in Pelham Journal
Women’s influence in public
places is termed wholesome by
Gocernor Herman Talmadge. They
are not only wholesome in public
places but private places as well.
Sure they can clean up the govern
ment, but they can clean up any
place they happen to be—and
they are everywhere. That’s what
makes it so ducky—men would run
themselves into heart attacks look
ing for them if they were not every
place you turn. They are sweet and
wholesome but when the com
pany’s gone—oh boy—you’d never
believe you could have said so
many wrong things. They can nag
you silly and love you to death
at the same time the lady removes
the chain and lets you out of the
[doghouse for a few minutes you go
scampernig off like the mouse you
are and come dragging back every
thing she’s hinted she wanted dur-
jingthe past six months, all gift-
| wrapped and drop them at the
feet of your uncrowned Queen.
Editor Calvin Cox in that highly
! valued publication, the Macon
'County Citizen and Georgian, car-
j ried this apology in his special fea
ture column last week: “Our apolo
