Luke McLuke Says
In a small town everybody knows
that the honeymoon is over when he
quits going home in the afternoon.
If a man's wife happens to inherit
some money he goes around acting like
he was responsible for it.
Every time we listen to a silver
tongued orator we wonder how lie
keeps from jarring the gold filling out
of his mouth.
When some men are eating in a
public place they seem to think that
it isn't etiquette to swallow your cel
erv. They chew it up and then put it
on the side of a plate.
Many a man with a rough bass voice
managers to follow the even tenor of
his way.
A mail may make light of your trou
bles. But he will act as if his own
troubles weighed 40 tons apiece.
When a girl refuses to marry a man
he doesn't know how lucky he was un
til about ten years later.
A married man can’t understand why,
they pray for the widows and the or
phans in church when wives need more
prayers than widows.
There are a lot of onery men in this
country who have done almost every
thing else, hut who think they are going
to Heaven just because they have never
taken a drink of liquor.
Little John’s Wish.
John’s mother objects to quarreling
and fighting among her children. One
day someone described a friend’s
house as having such heavy partition
walls that noise in one room could not
be heard in an adjoining room. John
said, “I wish our house was like that;
then when mamma is in the sitting
room and us kids in the dining room
get a scrap started, we could fight in
peace.”

Brief News Items Of Important Gath
ered Fr°m All Part*
Of The State
Macon.—Following a session lasting
throughout the day, during which good
roads history for Georgia was written,
]the organization of the Georgia High
way association was perfected here,
and a road building platform which
argues well for the future of the road
building industry in this state was
adopted. The officers elected wer:
Leland J. Henderson, Columbus, pres
ident; H. R. Pund, Augusta, vice pres
ident; F. Roger Miller, Macon, secre
tary; N. G. Bartlett, Dublin, treasurer,
and F. H. Abbott, Waycross; Oscar
Mills, Atlanta, and I. J. Hoffmeyer, At
bany, executive committee. Vice pres
idents are to be chosen by local or
ganizations for each congTessionaal
district of the state.
Throng Watches Engineers Parade
Atlanta.—Marching through human
lanes of enthusiastic fathers, mothers,
wives, sweethearts, relatives and
friends, and passing buildings be
decked in the national colors—the
Seventeenth Engineers —Atlanta’s own
sons —received their official welcome
back home in one of the largest street
celebrations the city has evar wit
nessed. It took exactly forty-five min
utes for Atlanta to show her boya j.ust
how much she appreciated their ef
forts in making the world safe for
democracy. What happened in those
forty-five minutes of patriotic demon
stration will go down in the records
of the city. Every building along the
line of march presented the colors of
freedom—the red, white and blue.
Long before the time scheduled for
the parade to commence its triumphal
march, every window was occupied by
some loved one of the boys who
marched at. attention through the
most enthusiastic crowd that ever
packed the curbs of local thorough
fares.
Will Not Condemn State Property.
Atlanta. —The bill to condemn the
Western and Atlantic terminal ini
| Chattanooga, property of the state of
! Georgia, which was pending before
the Tennessee legislature, has been
withdrawn, according to a message
received by C. Murphey Candler,
chairman of the W. & A. commission.
It is understood that the Chattanooga
chamber of commerce withdrew the
bill to condemn this property as the
result of assurances by Whiteford R.
Cole, president) of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and St. Louis railroad, that
(he Chattanooga terminals will be ex-
tensivoly improved as soon as the
federal government turns the rail
roads back to the owners. If the bill
in question had pased the legislature
and the city of Chattanooga had taken
that portion of the terminals that: it
wants, the terminals would have been
pracically destroyed. The purpose of
t.ho condemnation proceedings contem
plated by the bill was to open the way
for tin extension of Broad street in
Chattanooga.

Flreless Cookers That Are Safe.
Recently the national hoard of lire
underwriters issued a caution against
using wooden pails or tubs to make
home-made tireless cookers. To elim
inate the danger of fires from these
valuable fuel savers, the department
of agriculture advocates using ground
up asbestos in place of hay, paper or
wool for packing in them. Additional
safety may be attained by making the
cooker from a tin can.

The law for the protection of fish
in our streams should lie strictly ob
served by our people in order to give
the fish a chance to live, or otherwise

stroy large numbers of little ones as

If all will observe the law tlie streams
