A Happy Fanner
When driving through the fertile
fields of Banks last Friday 1
thought of how happy and con
tented the people must be who re
side in those levely homes; but
when I arrived at my own humble
home and read what the Cordele
Enterprise had to say about the
farmer, it occure l to me that they
too, have their troubles just the
same as a country editor. The ar
ticle is as follows:
A certain class of people think
that the farmer is the most inde
pendent person on the face of
earth, and that lie has nothing it
do but enjoy life. That when win
tericoines and the blizzard is on the
wing he toasts Ills feet on the oven
and the only thing that disturbs
him is the call three times a day to
the dining board and there have
the regular routine of daily living.
It it a mistake. The industrious
farmer begins work long before
thesun thinks of getting up. With
his soul shrouded in gloom he pro
ceeds to build u fire and soften his
shoes with a sledge hammer. He
then take a lantern and trudges
away to the barn to feed the mules.
Then it is time to feed tho newly
arrived calf, which seems to delight
in butting over a bucket of milk
on the humble tiller of the soil un
til he only needs the proper stamp
to class him as a certain grade of
butter. He crawls through a barb
wire fence, cleans out the stables,
gathers up the frozen chickens,
chases a 25ct pig four miles and
doesn’t catch it, doctor’s a sick
horse and freezes his fingers in the
operation,gets kicked by a one-eyed
mule, and when the twilight comes
and quitness broods over the earth,
he has onesingle half hour to med
itate and wonder how he will pay
his taxes.
BanKs County Farmers
Happy over Prospects
BALDWIN, Ga,. The farmers i
and business men of this section
enter the new year under very
satisfactory conditions. Nearly all
of the crops the past year were
abundant and farmers generally are
prosperous.
The cotton crop of Banks county
will probably lie around 2,000 bales
larger than 1912. The business men
have had a good business, many
old accounts having been paid.—
tlanta Journal.
Homer Locals
Mr. Ed Vaughn has rented the
property of Mr. Sain Dyar moved
to town.
Mr. John K. Chambers visited
his daughter, Mr R. T. Thompson
Saturday.
Joe Hill visited his parents in
Homer last week. We are glad to
know Joe has regained liis health
and is looking line.
Pleasant hill has one of the most
flourishing schools in Banks, 91
scholars were enrolled last week
and more is expected soon.
The convicts are now located at
their winter quarters in Homer
and we will piobably get some
more good work done around town.
The law regulating the working of
convicts says they can be “worked
on public roads inside the incorpor
ate limits of towns.”
Messrs. Logan Perkins, Lon
Blackwell, John Hill, Clarence
Griffin and other Maysville folks
speut Sunday in Homer. Mays
ville is one of the best business
towns in north Georgia but they
say it is awful dull on Sunday.
We passed the home of Frol. J.
T. Wise last week and he was
plowing. In the garden. No. In
the fielu. You might go from
“Rabun heights to Tybee lights”
and you would not lind many
county school superintendents
plowing in the dead of winter pre
pairing for next spring’s crop. But
you might make Wise president ol
the I nited States and it would
not give him the big-head. He’s a
worker.
Mr. Moss Wells made three
bales of cotton on one acre of land
last year. 1 belieye this is the
most 1 5tton ever made on au acre
in Banks. He made fifty two
bales with eight mules. Moss has
strung his cotton out in a long
string this time so he can separate
it quickly in case of lire. You ic
member he lost several thousand
dollars worth by lire two years
ago.
Rev. Sam’l Hagan killed a hog
last Friday,and as the weather was
not very cold he decided to lay it
out in his garden over night and
let it cool. The garden was wired
in and lie thought it would lie safe.
But a dog found a hole, went in
and carried oil'a shoulder and the
spare ribs. A preacher’s meat
( isles good to a dog and his con
science will never hurt him in the
least after stealing it.
Mr. Cap Cash visited Texas, and
alter v iewing the fine herds of cat
tle on the plains, decided lie would
come back and start a cattle busi
ness in the hills. He will soon
purchase a quanity of wire and
fence in a ranch on his father’s
large farm in north Banks. Five
stock will be purchased, and we
predict success for the venture.
One of the things we need most in
this county is a 1 letter strain of
cattle.
Mr. G. G. Strange is sawing a
lot of shingles to cover the different
tenant and out houses on his farm
eight miles east of town. He has
seven hundred acres of as fine
land as can lie found in the county,
and he knows how' to farm it, too.
He is industrious, enducated,
wealthy and fairly good looking
and why it is that the girls have
let him pass thiough so many leap
years and remain a bachelor, is a
mystery.
If you ever happen to be in
north Banks, stop in and take a
look at Mr. Albert Cash’s home, it
will lie worth your while. You
can turn a hydrant in his home and
get pure spring water —not the
Chattahoochee article —but that
! which comes from a sure enough
spring with lizzards in it. The
sides of bis cribs bulge out with
corn, 1:1, farm is a model one and
a pleasant smile plays over his
open countenence. Albert lives at
home and boards at the same place;
serves God but bows down to no
man.
Miss Lucile Meeks visited rela
tives in Homer last week.
Miss Syble Fowler visited Miss
Mabel I’arson last week.
Andrew McDonald has moyed
to the Mason place east of town.
Mr. Walt Hill, qf Maysville,came
ox er last week to see the old tolks
Master Howard Chambers visit
ed his boy friends in IlornerSatur
day.
Old newspapers for sale at this
office, 5 cents per hundred. Come
at once.
Miss Ethel Chambers is assist
ing her grand lather, Judge T. F.
Hill in the ordinary’s office.
Mr. Bell, brother of our towns
man, Prof. Jolur Bell, visited in
Homer this week.
A large number of our folks at
tended the lecture at Maysville last
Friday night.
Hon. Tom E. Anderson left last
Friday for Atlanta, where he will
buy his spring stock of goods.
Postmaster Durham and Miss
Nannie Mason spent Sunday with
Mr. Durham’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Jas Durham, in the country.
We are informed that six war
rants have been issued for parties j
in Lula who were careless with
dynamite about Christmas time.
Mr. Colie Perkins, of Maysville,
spent Sunday in Homer. It is
safe to say that Colic did not come
over to see a gentleman.
Several people in the country are
giving the authorities some trouble
about collecting the road tax. This
is useless. It is like all other tax—
must be paid.
The dry grass around Parker A
Martin’s blacksmith shop caught
fire one day last week and things
were very lively lor a short time.
It was kept from the building by
the brush brigade.
Mr L. J. Ragsdale spent Satur
day afternoon in Homer and left
his announcement for Tax Collec
tor which appears in today’s Jour
nal. Mr. Ragsdale is one of
Banks best citizens and would
make an excellent tax collector.
Tom Gideon, yellow carved the
black head of Paul Triininier last
Friday until the red blood flowed
as free as corn liquor at a negro
camp meeting. The wound was
dressed and Paul went his way re
joicing over the fact that the knife
was not fresh ground.
.Mr. C. A. Turk’s chimney
caught lire last Tuesday and
smoke rolled out from between the
chimney and house in such volumes
that it caused the alarm of lire to
be sent into town. The bucket
brigade responded promptly, but
their services were not needed, as
the house failed to c.deli.
It is Not so Easy
To apologize.
To begin over.
To admit error.
To be unselfish.
To take advice.
To be charitable.
To lie considerate.
To endure success.
To keep on trying.
To avoid mistakes.
To think and then act.
To profit by mistakes.
To forgive and forget.
To keep out of the rut,
To make the best of little.
To maintain a high standard.
To recognize the silver lining.
To shoulder a deserved blame,
BUT IT ALWAYS RAYS.—

Maysville Locals
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Mr. and Mrs. 11. W. Menders
spent Sunday with relatives at
Gillsville.
Mis. Maggie Bell, of Atlanta, is
the guest of Mrs. W. (’. J . ( larrison
this week.
Mr. and Mrs. Luther Shore, of
Baldwin, spent the day here last
Sunday as guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Grover White.
Mr. and Mrs. Pink Tlnnlbrook
spent Sunday with the latter ,s
sister, Mr. M. A. Wilbanks, of
Bushville.
Miss (bra Simmons, who is mat
ron of the children’s ward at the
Decatur Orphanage, speut a few
days recently with homefolks here.
Anew linn composed of three ol
our best business men,C. A. Meeks,
W. M. Yeargin and P. F. M. Furr,
will in the near future open up a
dry goods and grocery store in one
of the Carr Boyd rooms. This
room is being remodeled and re
painted, and a lot of goods are here
now waiting for the carpenters to
complete their work.
Mrs. 11. P. Camp delightfully
entertained the Matrons Club and
a number of friends on Thursday
afternoon of last week in honor of
Mrs. Marvin Garrison, who will
move to Atlanta next week. The
members of the club presented to
Mrs. Garrison a beautiful silver
and enameled service on a bronze
waiter. After an appropriate con
test a splendid two course dinner
was served.
A small daughter of Mr. W. J.
Segars, who lives on the Holland
place near town was playing in the
field where terraces were being
burned off on Thursday afternoon
of last week, when venturing too
near the fire her clothing caught,
Her screams attracted a workman
nearby who rushed to her aid; lie
worked heroically burning the skin
from liisoxvn hands, but his work
was in vain, the child died in a
short time. We read so often of
playful children being burned to
death. I can imagine nothing so
sad, surely parents should talk
with their children more often
about the dangers Of lire.
