On May 8, 1823, the song was sung as a part of the opera, "The Maid of Milan,” in Covent Garden the atre, London, and from that date it immediately be came the most popular song on “homo” ever sung and it will remain thus for many more hundreds of years. The song was written by John Howard Payne, a wanderer, though possessing an intellect of rare ability and an artist’s temperament that was never al lowed to flower into its full possibilities. The world that John Howard Payne lived in never fully appre ciated him as is so often the case, especially with aiiists and playwrights, and the chances are - that ifjthfe had never penned this immortal song he would have been forgotten long years ago. Hut Payne ufote thfc immortal of all song; he wrote on an immortal subject; and by connecting Home and Mother together in'-the sentiments of his song he touched the heart- stHngs 6f nearly every human being. It'matters not whether his words were inspired in loneliness or through reveries of a real home back in the happy days of memory, they strike the pathos and love of every person who has had a home and loved it, who has had a mother and loved her. John Howard Payne never had a home of his own; he never married and with his mate made a nest of their own. Perhaps he best appreciated home on this account. Romance has it that he once loved an Athens maiden, once visited here and offered his heart and hand to this Athens girl but the romance never materialized in marriage and Payne died a lonely bachelor and now after 100 years the' entire world pays tribute to his immortal song: “M/d pleasures and palaces, though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home; A charm from the sKfes seems to hallow us there, Which, seek through the world, is ne’er met with elsewhere.” “Home, home sweet, sweet home, * There’s no place like home, There’s no place like home.” A FINE BEGINNING 9 Nine Clarke county farmers today have reason to believe Athens really wan ts to help the producer of food. . These nine farmers brought produce to the Curb Market Saturday and went away with cash money, having sold out completely by noon. They did this, despite a downpour of rain, which would have kept the average man at home if he could have stayed. Nevertheless over $100 in produce, fresh from the farm, sold at the Curb Market in a few hours. Athens women, many o’f them, wero at the market when the first automobile with its produce aboard ar rived. The news then quickly spread to others that a half dozen or more farmers had braved the stormy weather to bring vegetables and other articles to . Athene. The sales kept moving. Umbrella in one •hand and "change” in the other, men and women walked from one auto to another on the Curb buying the vegetables and produce brought to the city. Everyone connected with the market was pleased. Next Saturday, the second day of the Curb Market, will see it in full blossom if the weather is at all agreeable. The success of the first day regardless of the' weather puts the hope within all that, at last, a plan has been found to give the producer a little boost. It will lead to great things in the future, if • producer and consumer keep it going and there is reason to believe they will, do just that thing. We’ve overdone the art of salesmanship. It’s time to cultivate more intelligence in buying, according to Theodore H. Price. That’s true. Schools of sales manship exist on every hand. But you never heard of ’a school to train buyers. Until we have them, business will be without a balance wheel, no scientific equili brium. All men don’t marry wives—some are married by them, comments Prof. Ernest R. Groves of Boston University. It’s an old line of patter with a new twist. Whether men really select and court their wives, or whether they are kidded into thinking they do (after the girls select them), is an old-subject of controversy. What difference does it make, if both are happy af terward? Selection on the average is 60-60. The world now has 2764 different languages and dialects, according to experts on talking. Is is any wonder countries do not understand each other, are ruspicious,'distrustful? We should have an inter national language, such as Esperanto, for ihe same reasons that we have an international Morse code for telegraphy. It’ll come, ns soon as someone figures (jut how to make money by bringing it about Profit is the generator of progress. § .We’ve rpached a point in this country where booms are no longer safe, claims Theodore H. Price, able publisher of Commerce and Finance magazine. “In dustry no longer needs the stimulus of abnormality. KW6 can avoid alternating depression and inflation nby refraining from becoming victims of our own en thusiasm." That’s easy—if the nation really wants to stabilize. Depression always is the direct result of hoggishness—dishonesty, a national epidemic of trying™ get more than we give in return.

The New York legislature has struck a blow to the Vol stead act and the authorities at Washington are disturbed ov er the results which may come to them In their efforts to enforce the prohibiton law in that state. With the state prohibiton law abol ished or repealed, it will be quite difficult Job for the federal offi cials to enforce the Volstead act ith any degree or satisfaction.
