^ LETS UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER
’JZ 'Jt has come to our ears that some of our good
y\jL. friends are very much excited over the stories the
Banner-Heraldh as carried in fererehce to the bank-
f orkptdy case of an Athens mercantile firm. Tie com
plaints in the main come from patrons of the Banner-
- Herald whose names so far have not been connected
’ with the case.
The news stories carried by this paper were based
on information obtained from responsible court of
ficials and no where else. The Banner-Herald follow
ing its settled course of according fair treatment to
every one has properly ignored the numerous rumors
that have been whispered around.
'■ The Banner-Herald values the patronage of the
'-complaining gentlemen. The Banner-Herald in turn
is producing the best paper its resources and income
will permit. Every effort is being made to increase
- the daily diWiilatlori that the results obtained by the
' advertiser will abundantly justify the expense of
carying the advertisements. However, that is entirely
. „* business proposition between the advertisers and .
"ourselves. 1 - ~ .
But the fact that a merchant solicits the patronage
-of the readers of the Banner-Herald through paid
-* advertisements does not give that merchant the right
to dictate the news and editorial policies of the
~-jiapltf,
-» The first duty of the Banner-Herald is to serve the
* 'public fairly, conservatively and fearlessly. No
^amount of business carried in the paper will alter
this fixed policy of the paper.
V The sooner we all come to an understanding on
that Ohe point, the more harmonious the business re
lations with some of oiir patrons will be.

’: It is a splendid spirit of tribute that actuated'the
movement to line the Bankhead highway that
stretches from Washington, D. C., to Sandiego, Cali
fornia, with trees as living testimonials to the 'mem-

v'l . versed during the World war.

A poem lovely aft a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon'whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,,
But only God can make a tree.

How often do wa attach any
importance to the word “Good
bye." It le used in a* general
way and Said without any ma
terial consideration of Its mean
ing. It Is a parting salute when
friends pass from one to Another,
but it Is seldom that It l» used in
a serious manner or weighed with
the imiiorlance of the real meaning
of the word.
Some one has.sent me a verso
which Is said to have been writ
ten by a Chinese student In one
of the large universities of. the
east, oft His departure for his home
In the Orient and dedicated to a
friend whom he had made since
residing in this country.
The verse:
Here where lean coyotes howled,
where mesqulse had spread
Over league on barren league,
thirsty, bleak and dead.
There are farms and villages,
churches, homes and school*.
All because the engineers learned
to use their tools.
So a miracle—a miracle appears.
And the driest' land upon the
hemispheres
. Comes, to blossom as the rose,
Growing everything that grows

Manna In the wilderness, water on

That’s what engineers have brought
to this broad domain. ,
Dam and ditch and deep canfl
where the waters run.
They have wrongh their magic

So a miracle—a miracle appears.

There Is a word, of grief the
sounding token;
There Is a word brJeweled • with
bright tears.
The saddest word fond lips have
ever spoken;
A little word that breaks the chain
of years;
It’s- utterance must . ever bring
emotion,
The memories It crystals cannot
die,
’Tis known In every land, on every
ocean—
’TIs called “Good-bye.”
It is usually- th# lawyers who
frame up aneedotee and joke*
and, of course, they are made
to order and you seldom hear
one on a lawyer, but here la one
I ran across in an exchange which
is typical of the average barrister,
so here It goes;
Remarkable as It may seem,
the word “eucdoee’’ appears
but once In the Bible, In the
following verse:
“This book of the law shall not
depart out of thy mouth; but thou
ahalt meditate there In day and
night, that thou mayest observe
to do according to all that Is writ
ten therein; for then thou sbalt
make thy way jfrosperous, and
then thou shalt have good suc
cess.” Joshua 1-8.
Our minds, when they are not
focused on a worthy work which
engages every faculty, become the
playground for ideas, but they are
always other people’s ideas, they
are not our own .ana cney ars not
usually worth anything except the
momentary excitement they cause
Wo prefer the swarm of other peo
ple’s Ideas to our own thinking,
because thinking Is the hardest
kind of Work a mortal can do. And
just because It Is hardest, the high
er rewards are reserved to It.
Thinking calls for facts; facts are
found by digging; hut he.who has
gathered this wealth Is well equip
ped for life.”
MARCH 12 lass
An old Scotchman In legal diffi
culties called to his lawyer, to
whom he presented the facts ot
the case and demanded to know
what htB chances ot winning tho
suit would be. -The lawyer wa*
most encouraging. "That being
the case, “I’ll not take notion,"
announced the Scot firmly and
decidedly. “Butt, why not?” the
lawyer asked In surprise. “Well,”
said tho canny Scot, “ye ken
coorso that it's my opponent's case
I’m putting to you.”
