V.-ex: ^ 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. mi rtai Big. MEMORIAL TREES ’: 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- tv - ory of those who served the various counties tra- v'l . versed during the World war. The Bankhead Highway Commission has accepted J,... the plan to thus beautify the roadway and commem- i-v • . ■ 0 ]- a te the memory of the ex-soldiers and sailors and ’ - ' others who offered their sendees.

Thanks to U. S. Reclamation Engineers 1 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 .

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 under Arixona’s sun. So a miracle—a miracle appears. And the desert wind that withers up and sears, Has become a gentle breeze. Sighing gently through the .trees. Thanks to Us. S. Reclamation 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.

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.” (By Associated Press.)
