GEORGIA’S TOBACCO CROP 'It Is predicted that Georgia’s tobacco crop will total more than 1,200,000 pounds the season of 1923, ac-, cording to the estimate made by the officials of the • Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad. The drop wilt be sold through markets which will begin to operate in July. *■ Mr. G. W, Hutchins, who has a tobacco warehouse at Vidalia, estimates that more than a million oitnds of tobacco will be marketed .at that point tie this season'. Drying and stemming plants t Siu een erected at -threOi point along the Atlanta, gham and Atlantic Railroad, involving ad e: liture of $500,000. The Georgia leaf commands a premium over scco raised in any other state in the Union. i acco crop of North Carolina constitutes the back* bone of the prosperity of the Tar Heel state, which just now is enjoying a period of wonderful prosperity. We would like to see Georgia about equally divided between tobacco anckcotton, as is the case in North Carolina, where the fanners seem to be proof against panics and hard times. Hart county'has gone in for tobacco and has em ployed an expert to further the growing of this crop tin iv. Experiments have proven that the crop is adapted to the section if given the proper care and ..there is no doubt but that good tobacco can be grown in Georgia, i ■ " •'»■{• fj.' • . - Address all business Communications direct to the Athens Publish ing Company, nut to individual.

THURSDAY HALF HOLIDAYS , Last RTnunot a greater portion of Athens’ mcr- * chants closed: their places of business on Thursday - aitcrnoons and gave them telves and their employees a half holiday. Apparently the plan worked to the benefit of all and the public soon fell in line with its co-operation and. did its trading either during the morning hours or on other days. This summer with another try-being made here at summer baseball it seems that the plan will be more acceptable than ever before. In speaking of Thursday closihg the Macon Tele graph has the following to say: “Summer only comes once a year—but it comes with force when it does. It comes with the force of ' too much sun and a penetrating heat. People tire more quickly and easily; they need an occassional few hours away from the sight and thought of routine ; things. It is a matter of wisdom, and profit to those in any way associated with them to grant them such, j No more admirable nor sensible plan in this con nection has been put into effect than that of the Thursday half holidays. This gives opportunity for the employe to renew his mind and energies, and to polish up his disposition. He finds,chance to get out where the green grows and the waters run and the breezes blow, and when he comes back to his bench or counter, there is somewhat of a newness and freshness to him about his duties. “Whether a man or woman can hear the birds sing or not, he or she ought to go occassionaliy to where they do sing, and come into contact with that which , makes them sing. And though he hear no song, he will somehow feel it, and bring it hack, with him in- ; to the market-place. A smile in the eyes and a gen tle, relaxed expression On the face of the saleswoman ; is much more pleasing to the customer than a frown -• and dissatisfied look, even though the dissatisfaction . be only with the weather and expressed uncon- £ sciously. ■ “So, the Thursday half holiday is a matter of sound ■' scilse and definite profit' ; “Of course,' the' buying public will be gracious enough to cb-operate. Somebody should be con- - vinced that the good housewife as well needs to take ; Thursday afternoons off, but if she is averse to the • idea, she'will at least display that generosity that . will enable those who serve her from behind the t counters to do so. j. ; J “Thursday morning buying should displace Thurs- ; day afternoon buying during the Summer months. It can be done without inconvenience in the least if the kindly consideration and good memory of the house wife will function together. Procrastination is a pretty bad pest around home,.but he should be chased out bodily once a week and the household stocks and stores for Thursday laid in before the noon hour.” LISTEN TO MOCKING BIRD An Atlanta mocking bird is such a strenuous sing er ^hat he had to be placed on probation. A tender footed neighbor testified that the Shakespeare of the woods sang 24 hours a day and that -he and 'another - bird sang by turns, when he would get tired the other bird would take it up. He stood it as. long as - he.coiild and finally it got onto his nerves so bad that - in sheer despair he reported the matter to the police. 1 We were under the impression that a law was v passed against caging mocking birds. So many * mocking birds were taken north by persons who de- ; lighted to hear them sing, that there was fdar that • there would be none left It it had been 1 a- jay bird l that aroused the Atlanta man’s tender sensibilities, - there might have been cause for complaint, but it - being a mocking bird, always recognized as the , world’s champ singer, calls into question the man’s . love of music and the further question of his being able to discriminate. That Atlanta man must be a sufferer from insom nia, or amnesia, and the bird’s song worried him so that he did not know where he was. He poured - forth such a volume of ecstatic melody that, it’s a great wonder he hadn't drowned out grand opera. Then he would have played the mischief .sure enough, for grand opera costs $6.00 a seat, whereas the mocking bird is a free-for-all marathon. Hty.
