By EARL “TIGE” PICKLE
On our typewriter the other morn
ing we found this note which our
friend Milton Bryant snitched from
The Progressive Farmer:
“God created the Heavens and
rested.
“God created the earth and
rested.
“God created man and rested.
“God created woman, and neither
God nor man has rested since.”
To all of you who have never
seen a Tom Thumb Wedding (and we
haven’t), be sure and go out to the
school auditorium Friday night at
7:30. The Junior Class is throwing
this miniature wedding to raise
funds for the ’banquet they will hold
a few weeks hence to entertain the
Seniors. We’ve been told that a
Tom Thumb Wedding is one of the
(to use a brand new adjective) cut
est things you have ever seen. The
bride and groom and all the attend
ants will be dressed just like the
real thing. A young man named
Ben Hunt, who certainly must be
of the reckless and carefree type,
has agreed to be the groom. Pretty
little Sibyl Middleton, who also has
a flair for the dangerous, will be
the bride. It sounds like an inter
esting evening.
JOURNALISTIC JULEPS
Talking Back to the Editors
"Between Cordele and Atlanta
there is a filling station on the
highway. We have purchased gas
there many times within the past
four years. We did this past week.
But that station has lost a custom
er.”—Editor J. R. Ham in the Crisp
Gounty News (Cordele).
We have almost worried ourself
sick ever since we saw the above
little item, Editor Ham, wondering
if the service station man suddenly
put his business on a cash basis, or
if you caught him putting water in
your gas tank.

“Old Will Grouch says that more
than any other one thing Georgia
has needed for several years is an
impeached Governor.”—Editor E. L.
Howell in The Cuthbert Leader.
We hope the next time Mr. Grouch
calls on Editor Howell, the editor
will ask him which one does he
mean, or both of ’em. A fellow
who comes to our office quite fre
quently was preaching this same
doctrine six years ago.

"Up in Rochester, Minnesota, there
lives a policeman who had the nerve
to tag his own wife’s car and the
papers are calling him brave. That’s
not bravery, it’s plain stupidity.”—
Editor James Chism in the Pelham
Journ:'.
We are living in an ingenious
age, don’t you think, Editor Chism?
Almost every day some fellow thinks
up a new way of committing sui
cide.
By the time you read these dis
patches, or maybe we should say
by the time these little paragraphs
appear in print, your reporter, in
company with one-half of his bosses,
Mr. Hoyl Fleming, will be in All
benny, Georgia, to bring you back
an eye-witness account of what is
going on over in the “Bird Dog”
capital. They are really “throwing
the dog” over there today in cele- j
bration of the premiere of “The Bis- I
cuit Eater,” a motion picture about
bird dogs which was filmed in its'
(entirety in and near Albany. (Inci
dentally, this picture comes to the i
Blakely Theatre Friday at no in- j
crease in admission prices.)
Somewhere in north Alabama !
there is a motorcycle policeman
whose job it is to stop speeders and
reckless drivers. Those who get i

Woman’s Club Is
Building New Park
Near City Cemetery
Three acres of woodland on the
old Cedar Springs road, near the
city cemetery, on which may be
found most every kind of tree and
| evergreen native to this county, is
being constructed into a beautiful
city park under the sponorship of
i the Blakely Woman’s Club.
The work is being done by the
I city street department, with Mr. G.
F. Pickle, superintendent, in charge.
The crew of workmen has been at
j work for several days removing the
undergrowth, stumps and other de
■ bris.
Mrs. S. P. Holland, president of
the Woman’s Club, announced that
the park would be one of the most
i beautiful spots in the city when
i finished. A natural spring on the
i property will be improved and sur
rounded by a rock curbing. In the
rear of the park grills and outdoor
ovens will be built to allow visitors
the advantages of holding picnics.
Benches will be built in the park,
also. All these improvements will
not be made right away, Mrs. Hol
land said, but would be made over
a period of years.
There is some talk of building a
swimming pool in the park, water to
be supplied from the natural spring
which is on the park property.
The park is yet to be named.
JUNIOR WILDLIFE
RANGERS ORGANIZE
(Tom Hardy)
From all indications in the schools
in this territory there will be quite a
number of Junior Wildlife Rangers.
Examinations for these appoint
ments will start in some of the schools
as early as next week, probably about
April 17 th.
The student making highest matks
on the examination will be awarded
from the Division of Wildlife of the
State of Georgia a badge and com
mission as Chief Junior Wildlife
Ranger. Others passing the exami
nation will receive commissions and
badges as Junior Wildlife Rangers.
These Junior Wildlife Rangers may
compete in a state-wide contest for
cash awards and two free trips to
Wisconsin for a two weeks’ study in
wildlife.
BOSSY GETS BOOST
WITH AN EGG-NOG
Carrollton. —Got a cow with that
whipped-down feeling? Beat her up
an egg-nog. If your cow has the
same ailment that the prize milk
cow of C. C. Rrichards, Whitesburg
farmer, had, the egg-nog will snap
her out of it. Mr. Richards’ Bossy
fell ill last week. Tonics were ad
ministered. No good. Death was
on her tail. Then, as a last resort,
Mr. Richards prepared a gross dose.
He whipped up a dozen eggs, added
the appropriate nog. Bossy took it
lying down. But after the first
dose, she got up. Mr. Richards re
peated the treatment. Now Bossy
is loping along the road to health.
CLAXTON HEN LAYS
GOOSE-SIZE EGG
Claxton.—Looky here, all you
hens, you’re laying down on the job.
Take a lesson from a hen owned by
Gus Tippens, of Daisy route, near
Claxton. Now she really upped and
laid an egg. The egg was larger
than a goose-egg and weighed more
than nine ounces. The hen that laid
it died. The egg, according to Mr.
Tippins, will be placed in the poul
try yard as an inspiration for the
other hens.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS. BLAKELY. GEORGIA
Tom Hardy Replaces
Joe Glawson As
Wildlife Ranger

rived in Blakely this week to serve
I the counties of Early, Baker and
Miller as game protector. Mr. Hardy

Mr. Hardy has already begun his
work here and is organizing junior
I and senior rangers, appointments
I which will be honorary, and the

cerning this phase of Mr. Hardy’s
work.

Blakely and Early county fine and
everyone whom I have called on
seems anxious and cooperative toward
preserving and protecting the forests
and wildlife of Early county.”
Mr. Hardy is living at the Hotel
Early.
STUDENT DODGES
RUNAWAY AUTO
Carrollton.—Hollywood ought to
give her a screen test. And while
the movie producers are at it, they
might buy the story that goes with
it. The scene: The hero is a col
lege student, Robert Stevens, of
West Georgia College. He is taking
a nap on the front campus. The
villain, an automobile with a nasty
expression on its radiator, driver
less, and locked, plunges over a
shallow precipice and gains speed as
it rolls over the campus toward
sleeping Stevens. The heroine, Miss
Jean Simms, a West Georgia College
co-ed, sees the car rolling toward
Stevens. She screams. Stevens
scrambles to safety, just in time
to see the car whizzing by. The
thwarted villyun crashes into a wall
for a smash finish. A sneak pre
view, not intended for production,
was held at West Georgia College a
few days ago. It really happened!
DISCOVERS GAS IS NO
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
An automobile caught fire in the
Snyder Body Works early Monday
morning and 0. H. Snyder, in the
excitement incident to the conflagra
tion, mistook a bucket of gasoline
for water, and hurled said gas right
in the fire, with results that were
both unexpected and startling. Mr.
Snyder soon collected his wits and
discarded his gas in favor of a
bucket of sand, and had the blaze
extinguished by the time the fire de
partment arrived. Results: Car
damaged slightly; man frightened
badly.
