Mrs. C. H. Loback, propraetor of
the Loback Garden Shop, and the
lady who grows those chrysanthe
mums as big as a ten-gallon hat,
came by the office the other day and
gave us a verbal poke in the nose
about that piece we wrote saying
that folks ought to send war savings
stamps instead of flowers to the
sick.
The war is not only making a
lot of soldiers, but a number of
farmers as well.
Another way to lose friends and
your influence in the community is
to ask a lady what that thing is she
has on her head. Always say some
thing nice about a lady’s hat even if
you have to lie a little. The lady
who directs the affairs of the Pickle
domicile on Government Hill wear's
things on her head that look more
like anything else than they do a
hat, but we would die a martyr’s
death before we would make any de
rogatory remarks.

IN MEMORY
Of Oren V. Reynold*, Whose Ship
Was Torpedoed One Year Ago,
March 7, 1942.
“I cannot say—and I will not say
That, he is dead—he is just away—
With a cheery smile and a wave of
the hand
He has wandered into an unknown
land.
“And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers
there, the wildest
And you—0 you—who
yearn and glad
For the old-time step re
turn.
“I think of him faring on—as dear
In the love of there, as the love of
here;
Think of him still as the same, I say
He is not dead—be is just away.”
—HIS MOTHER.

Our town must certainly create a
wonderfully fine first impression up
on visitors and tourists who enter
our little city from the Albany
road entrance. There is one of the
prettiest subsidiary dump piles on
this street, just inside the city lim
its, that you ever saw.
How fast can you stop, asks the
department of public safety, in a
little bulletin which came to our
desk. It seems to ua that the ap
priate question would be, “how far
iran you g'o?” since we are the proud
possessor of an A book. Well, any
-way, in case you are interested, if
you are driving 20 miles per hour
it requires 43 feet; 40 miles, 126
feet; 60 miles, 251 feet; and 70
miles per hour, it requires 328 feet
to come to a dead stop. As stated
in the first sentence, this informa
tion was given to us by the Georgia
Department of Public Safety, We
haven’t tried it. You may, if you
like, but we don’t recommend any
speed experiments at this particular
season of the year with such an
abundance of tissue-paper tires be
ing worn by autos in the interest of
the war effort.
Another man and job for whom
land which we hold no envy: Mr.
Fred H. Brooks, chief engineer of
the local tire, gas, food, sugar and
coffee ration hoard.
Neither do we care to direct the
affairs of the local draft board.
Auto manufacturers say that cars
after the war will fee fast, stream
lined iurd as beautiful as your
neighbor’s daughter. And attached
to said auto will be a little device
which propels music at certain
speeds. For instance: At 25 miles
per hour, “I’m But a Stranger Here,
Heaven Is My Home;" at 45, “Near
er My God to Thee;” at 55, “I'm
Neuring the Port and Will Soon Be
at Home;” at 65, “When the Roll is
Called Up Yonder I’ll Be There; .•> at
75, “Lord, I'm Coming Home."
Nine requirements for successful
rand contented living, as set forth by
the Jungle Meow, of Ventura, Culif.:
1. Health enough to make work a
jitcaane.
2. Wealth enough to support yourj
meeds.
3. Strength to battle with difficul
lies and overcome them.
4. Patience enough to toil
some good is accomplished.
5. Grace enough to confess
sins and forsake them.
.6, Charity enough to see some
good in your neighbor.
7. Love enough to move you to be
useful to others.
8. Faith enough to make real the
things of God.
9. Hope enough to remove anxious
fears for the future.
This one wasn’t funny when
heard it years ago. although
laughed, but not much:
A backwoods mountaineer found a
mirror which a tourist lost.
“Wal, I be durned if it ain’t my
old paw,” he said as he looked into
it; “1 never knew he had his picture
took.” He took the mirror home,
That night while he slept his wife
found it. “Hah!” she said, looking
into it. “so that’s the old hag he’s
been sc ruts in’ lately."
