Blakely, Ga., November 20, 1924. Blakely can boast of as many auto mobiles as any town of like size in the State. o The wise farmer is the one who is destroying his cotton stalks now be fore the hibernation of the boll wee vil.

TOBACCO GROWERS BUY FARM LANDS IN SOUTH GEORGIA. Moultrie Observer. Practically every week finds re ports in the Georgia papers of farms sold to tobacco growers from the Carolinas and Virginia, says the Blackshear Times. These farmers have heard by re ports from those who have previous ly come to Georgia from these states of the adaptability cf the Georgia lands for the growing of tobacco. It is certain' that this immigration will increase. Not only will the production of to bacco in South Georgia in all prob ability be more than doubled in the next year or two, but the population will be decidedly increased. This is a prospect that we wel come. This section will be more prosper ous when it lias a larger number of small farms each cultivated by an experienced, hard-working farmer. But in looking forward to this increase in population the counties must prepare for a greater demand for better school facilities, for im proved roads, for more frequent recreation, for better churches, etc. South Georgia has th* land ana the climate. It must also be a place where a people can enjoy living and find it profitable to live. Q “EVENING” By Winifred Felder. By the side of a peaeful mirror-like brook. Winding dreamily on to the sea, Rests a little brown moss-covered cot Midst a foroßt of tall, solemn trees. By the lingering rays of the dying sum The heavens are daintily tinted, And they vainly gaze at themselves in the stream Where rippling shadows hide. Ah! Nature reflects man’s life anon In this peaceful evening scone, For night will hide it all too soon, Never to be seen again. Beautiful is the evening of life, For night is coming fast, Life is what you make of it— Make the present a pleasant past. s?s <* «!« The above poem was written by Miss Felder orr an English assign ment requiring a description of a picture appearing ou the front cover of a recent issue of the [Jterary Di gest, entitled “Evening.” o Two Other Folks. He: “Say, Mabel, may T come over tonight ” She: “Sure, John, come on over.” He: “Why, this is not John.” I She: ‘This isn’t Mabel, either.”— I Whirlwind.
