CjiAiu.Ks 11 . Brand, Judge. 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.— The Highway Magszine. _ 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. Notice I will be at the following places for the purpose of registering all voters who have not already done so to-wit: Jan. 26th. Davids law ground 10 to 12 G. C. Glasure’s store 2to 3 Wright’s Mill 4 to 5 Jan. 27th. Maysville 10 to 5 Jan. 28th. Mint/.’s store 10 to 1L Gailey 2 to 3 N. Z. Chandler, T. C. Parcels Weighing 100 Pounds Soon to Burden the Carriers Rareels weighing a hundred pounds may soon be shipped by parcel post. The department re cently conducted experiments with a view of increasing the weight to that figure. Postmaster General Burleson this morning declared that six hundred million parcels will lie handled din ing the year with a revenue ap proximating ten cents each. Given broad powers, he said he proposes to make the service meet the full requirements of the people.—Ath- I ens Banner. Cabbage Plants 35,000 home raised early cabbage plants for sale. 15etsperl00.
