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.” THE NEWS & FARMER, THURSDAY, APRIL 17. 1919 MACON MEETING FOR GOOD ROADS CONSTITUTION ADOPTED LOOK ING TO NEW ERA IN GEORGIA HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT STATE NEWiToF INTEREST 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.

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.

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.
