Money multiplies the power of
man, either for better or for worse.
Life would be simpler if the
people on earth were more sin
cere.
What has become of the man
who believed everything he saw
In print?
There are many ways in which
people try to have their cake and
■eat it, too.
There was a time when most
people read good books. They still
read books.
Any community of individuals
can get along if it has some unsel
fish leaders.
Money is not worth all the
bother, but we can’t convince our
selves on the point.
Our own Dictionary : Self con
trol: Something we tell our chil-
.rlren they should acquire.
There are many young people
.going to colege again this Fall who
do not know why they are going.
If you want the Herald to carry
more local news, call us whenever
you have a tip on a good news
story.
A trueism we have always
admired reads something like this:
“Give the world the best that you
have and the best will come back
to you.’’
Some one has composed this
little rhyme: “As a rule a man’s
a fool; when it’s hot he wants it
cool; when it's cool he wants it
hot; when it’s work he wants it
NOT.”
Some creature who was not
thinking clearly asked this ques
tion: “Who runs the aveage
Ar/terican home.” It is obvious he
has no teen age children in his
family.
Of special interest to our girls
and boys: You better make good
of these precious few remaining
weeks of vacation for school bells
will be ringing again for the Fall
term before you know it.
News item: “Cook County Gins
its first bale of cotton for thi Fall
season.” This is a reminder that
ere long the farmers of Taylor
county will again be busily en
gaged in harvesting a splendid
cotton crop.

FABULOUS JEKYLL—
the Enchanted Island
It s a fart that moat Georgians spend at least a portion of their va
cation at the beach. And who could blame them—with some of the
nation s most fabulous surf only a few hours drive from almost any
section of the State? As our summer camping series conclude, the Tour
recommends one last weekend of rugged living at Jekyll Island.
Snuggled among the moss-draped oak trees on the northern tip of
the Island, far from the luxurious motels and gay midway, is a camping
w w , . re R r ° u P s °f families and friends gather for an adventure of
old-fashioned living. This is Cherokee Campground, between the beach
and the hay, just beyond the famous marshes of Glynn.
Both tenting and trailer camping are welcomed at Cherokee. Tents
may be obtained at the campground for as long as you choose. All
camping supplies, such as food, lanterns, stoves, fishing tackle and bait
.■are available for a nominal price at the trading post. Showers, bath
ouse8, washing machines and dryers add to the conveniences offered
at Cherokee.

One-Armed Man
With Limping Leg
By W. C. Woodall
We admired him long before we
made his acquaintance.
He has only one arm and he
limps, and he is the happiest look
ing man who comes down the
street.
Eternally good natured, the smile
just spreads all over his face
whenever accosted. He not only
takes time out to be friendly, he
enjoys it.
His physical limitations are no
embarrassment to him, and he
limps along so cheerfully that the
very sight of him warms the heart.
And he makes his slow way
down the sidewalk, a lesson and
a reproach to so many of us who
have two good arms and two good
legs, the sight is good for the
soul.
He is, in short, a sermon, but
this modest, smiling, self effacing
gent would dislike very much be
ing called such a pretentious thing
as a sermon.
So he will just have to be one,
without title.
