Blakely, Ga., June 30, 1927.
It won’t be long now before com
mercial aviation between all conti-1
nents is established.
o
There are no dry spots in South-[
west Georgia (referring to weather |
conditions, of course).
o
What is fame? The Thomasville
Times-Enterprise calls Georgia’s new
Governor Dr. “Len” G. Hardman.
o
Our Uncle Samuel has anotherl
birthday next Monday, the Fourth of
July, which will be observed as a
National holiday.
o
There are some bizarre methbds
of intoxication in vogue in this
free American republic, but one of
the latest we have heard is a 14 year
old youngster who acquires a jag
by inhaling the fumes of gasoline.
He is said to be quite hopelessly ad
dicted to the habit.
o
Senator Thompson’s bill providing
for the election of a lieutenant-gov
ernor, to be elected by the people, I
should meet with popular favor. |
The lieutenant-governor would serve
as president of the Senate, thereby
eliminating to some etxent the game ;
of politcs in appointment of import
ant committees, etc. We hope this
bill will go through and become a
law.

o
Eugene Talmadge, the new Com
missioner of Agriculture, is one man
elected to public office who has, at
the very beginning, started out to
carry out his pre-election promises.
He intends to have a thorough house
cleaning and reorganization of his
Department, and his talk sounds
good. He has made certain recom
mendations, which if carried out,
will mean the saving of approximate
ly a quarter of a million dollars a
year to the State.
o
The Washington News-Reporter
came to us last week in 32-page form
filled with letters from Wilkes
County Wanderers. The Women’s
Clubs of Washington were responsi
ble for the idea of such an edition of
the old home town paper, but editor
Vaughn and his working crew de
serve much praise for assembling
and publishing a 32-page paper from
the material furnished. Consider
ing it was a rush job, the paper is
highly creditable to the print shop
and must have been intensely inter
esting to Wilkes County Wanderers.
o
Some how one can not help but
feel that much good for the State
will be accomplished under the
new administration which was in
ducted into office Saturday. The
chief executive is one of the out
standing business men of the State,
and has spent much time since his
election in neighboring states study
ing educational and tax systems,
and other important matters, in an
effort to better prepare himself for
his tasks as governor. With the
proper co-operation of the Legisla
ture, we believe Dr. Hardman will
accomplish much good during his
tenure of office.
IGNORING THE HOME PAPER.
Thomasville Times-Enterprise.
A certain Georgia newspaper was [
very bitterly assailed by a local sub
scriber, by reason of the fact that
the engagement of a lady in the
family was not published in the
weekly newspaper operated in her
home town. The editor remarked
that it was published in the Atlanta
newspapers and perhaps some others
| and the item was carefully written
and sent to them with a request to
publish by the parents of the bride
to-be. The home paper was ig
[ nored.
These little events occur quite
; frequently. There are a great many i
I newspaper men, who fail to get'
items of that kind when as a matter
of cold fact it is not their fault. It
is galling to thfc home paper to see
the notices of their home folks in
the big daily papers, when as a mat- ■
ter of ordinary courtesy they ought 1
to be simultaneously handed the lo- i
cal newspaper, especially as it
would be a breach of courtesy, ethics [
and good manners to publish such | (|
items unless, they were sent in.
The little things like that count I
and in many cases the editor is not <
at fault. You could not persuade *
the people that this is true and yet | (
facts show it beyond question. A i
little more consideration and cour- 1
tesy to the local paper would get ,
more return per word than anything ' j
the big papers could ever carry and [ I
as a matter of fact the local week-1„
ly newspaper is the best friend the [
man at home can find, for it handles [
his intimate home problems and does
it the best and most reasonable way
that is known. Can the big papers
be accused of similar consideration?
Presence of Mine Enemies.
John is a small boy, youngest of a
| minister’s family. As a punishment
for some misdemeanor at the table,
it was decided that he must not eat
| with the family at the next meal.
| So his dinner was placed on a small
| table at the end of the dining,
'room. When all were seated the
minister said, “Now, John, you should
ask a blessing before you eat.” This
was a new duty for John, but he
bowed his head and said, reverently,
“Our Father in Heaven: Thou hast
prepared a table for me in the pres
ence of mine enemies. Amen.”—

EARLY COUNTY NEWS. BLAKELY, GEORGIA
In Bouton Town.
i Nearly every one is familiar with
; this quotation:
• “Here’s to dear old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells speak only to Cab
ots,
And the Cabots speak only to
God.”
Some time back a recent immi
grant family by name of Kabotowitz
desired to change their name and
picked the more American name of
Cabot. An indignant owner of the
old and historic name brought the
matter to the attention of the courts,
but was handed an adverse decision.
Later the following parody on the
■ famous verse appeared:
[“Here’s to dear old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells speak to no one,
For the Cabots speak Yiddish,
be God.”
