HolUen in a speech last week told of a south Georgia jury that handed in a verdict like this: “We the jiuy lind the man who stole the hog not guilty.” The man who lost the gas tank we advertised in the Journal a few weeks ago, called last week and got his property. When you place an ad in the Journal you generally get results. Mrs. Margie Morris West spent several days in Homer last week packing up her household furni ture which she shipped to South Florida where she, with her Ims band, will make her future home. Carr McDonald says a drunk man run a negro through his pea patch and caused considerable damage and he is going to bring suit for damages. Who could blame him, considering the high price of peas? Some boys met in a Horner store a lew nights ago and one of the youngsters offered to pay for a pound of soda crackers if Jim WiJ banks would cat them in 30 min utes without water.

Jim says if all teeth were like his lentists would perish. There is a pioacherin t.iis county who is having some trouble in training his voice to suit till the j members. Some claim he preaches too loud and others say his voice is too low. We suppose that the ear drums of some of his members are diseased or punctured while the others are in perfect condition. Another preacher suggests that lie either preach one loud and one low sermon or the first half of his sermon high and the last half low. Most newspapers charge lor eaids of thanks and obituaries. We make no charge for these no tices, and taken pleasure in pub fishing obituaries written by peo pie of their departed friends and relatives, but they must be short, consisting of from 100 to 150 words. We can’t publish articles of from half to a column long unless paid for. A cow, belo tging to a well known Homerile, has been in the habit of getting out and feasting on the patches around town. Two well known citizens, who we will call Jack and John, decided they would “run her in” and let the owner know where she hal been. They started the race, w hich soon became as warm and fast as the treasurer’s race in a county pri jmary, but the cow having torn legs with only one body to cany laud Jack and John two bodies to ride on their four legs, gave the ! bovine and advantage and she i gained fast on her would-be cap tors. In her mad flight she ran lu ;to a well shelter knocking the box ! off and then made a bee line lor ! home with her tail sticking up In Memory of Miss Vallie Mullinax One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in t.iis community was that of Miss Vallie Mullinax, daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Mullinax, which oeeured on Sept, j '2, at her home. She was ill only a few days ■ when death summoned her from j time to eternity. We believe she was the most patient sick person we have oyer seen during her few days of her illness. She suffered much but did not 'iiui'inur. Skilled physicians, loved ones and friends did all in their power to restore her to health, but to no avail, her work here was finish ed, God called her home to join the loved one gone before where suffering and sorrow never enter; for in Gods presence is fullness of joy. We could not abridge her ill ness or prolong her days, we know she has heard the summons “Thou good and faithful servant well done, come enter now thy heaven ly home.” She was born Sept. 11, isilii. She lived to be 17 years, 11 months and 1!! days old. Her parepts belonged to the Methodist church, but she was co. veiled in I!H2, at Gillsville, laud chose to serve God as a Rap list. She loved the church she loved the people, she loved God, and was ever ready to assist in the promotion of His kingdom. TANARUS, M. F\ Atlanta, Ga., Georgia taxpayers are just beginning to realize how valuable to them the recent reduc tion of ten per cent in the state tax rates will prove to them. It was tit first believed that the cut merely a reduction from a recently increased rate, but this is not true. The rate was not increased last year, but the lax equalization law brought in thousands upon thout ands of dollars which had never been honesly paid before. Tax Commissioner Hartsiys (15 per cent of ths property taxes due had never before beed returned. Under the new system the small property owner will have his bur dens shared by the welthy tax dodge who until now had success fully evaded payment. Secretary William Jennings Bryan’s endorsement ot woman suffrage will probably add Ihous auds of votes for suit' age Amend ment in Nebra-ka next November. Mr. Bryan may be iuducen to campaign for the Amendment. like the mast pole on a German battleship. Bob Crump came to court as usual last Monday a week ago and spent a very pleasant day among his acquaintances. On his return in the afternoon his mules became frightened at some piping lying by the roadside on the hill this side Of the old Quilli n mill. They made a dash for liberty and when Bob pulled one line broke, then the fun began. The mules seemed to be running a race while Bob sat qui 'tly in the_ buggy and watched the fire fly from their shoes. Just before the creek was reached the buggy turned over and of course that ended Bob’s ride. His head struck a wheel or a wheel struck his head and a gush about th.ee inches long was left as a gent .<■ reminder of Bob’s wild ride. A good Samaritan came a.o.ig and carried Bob home where the .\ouud was sewed up. He was in town again bright and early Monday morning to attend court. The only way you will ever keep 800 Crump away from court is to kill him. Farm FolKs are Learning. t. They are beginning to quit farming by signs of the moon and beginning to farm by sense of the earth. 2. They have quit “laying by” by the time of the year and are beginning to “lay by” by the con dition of the crop. 3. They no longer buy fertilize r by the smell of the goods but are buying it for the plant food it con tains. 1. They are beginning to realize that there is no sense in killing Southern grassall summer and buy ing Western grass all winter; nor in paying freight and broker’s charges on Western corn and meat when they can raisthem here with out these extra charges. 5. \nd especially do they real ize that it doesn’t pay both to pay freight on hay an l buy nitrogen In sacks, when clover vetch, and cowpeat will not only furnish cheap feed, but gather fortunes in nitrogen “lice grafts” from the air above us. <. They are beginning also to see that it is cheaper to use horse labor that needs food but not cloth ing than human labor which needs both food and clothing and the cheapest of all to use a maximum of machinery wh ch lequires nei ther food nor clothing. 7. They see, too, that the main question is not how much we make, but how much we keep, and that time prices and foolish marketing may keep man poor in split of wise production. 8. And finally they are begin iug to realize that just at there is many a load which one horse work ing alone would never budge but which several horses hitched to gether pull easily, just so their is many a plan /or the farmer’s bene fit which fanners single handed can do nothing which a group of farmers hitched together can easily accomplish.—The Progressive Far mer.
