WHAT YOU LIKE r,.who clerks in a 5-and-10-cent store sends this letter: J “Why is that /sopie invisible force -seems to k^epmo ,zny presept job, when 'what I really want to do is act iii movies? ,I am getting well into the thirties. The bloom is leav ing my cheeks. I try to be practciable and sensible. But, by keeping my earn open and my mind busy figuring things out, I. learn that I am in much the same boat as every one else. No one seems able to do what they want to do. Why is this?” To this girl clerk, we answer: The question you ask has been asked by eyery grown-up since humanity began to exercise its power of reasoning. And there seems to be no answer, excep.t that fate or destiny has much to do with our careers. George Ade, who is such a genius as a genial satirist that future generations will study his fables in slang as our generation studies "Rabelais,” always wanted to write ''heavy stuff.” Maybe . you remember the American Magazine’s interview with George,'in which he> expressed his bewilderment because he seemed forced to write humor instead of philosophy or tragedy. Another case is Eddie Foy, comedian, whose foremost ambition always was to play Hamlet The reader will apply it to himself—to the thing he wants to be, the life he wants to live, but cannot. It is as if in visible hpnds of destiny thrust you away from culmination of ardent desire. The trail, as always in philosophy, leads nowhere. Common , sense brings most of us a certain degree of contentment by mak ing us realize tha't we probably are doing what we were intended to do. You see an able lawyer, proud of his ability to repair a clock, de says: "I was cut out to be a fine mechanic.” Deep in his hcar^ he knows that he is “kidding” himself—that law is his al field. This law, however, holds good only when we arc established in the rut thruogh which we are destined of’our mature years. Often we are doing the wrong and yearn for something else. If fitted for the some- ambition will make us find a way to get into the line When, it comes to day-dreaming, to things we yearn unwilling or unable to attain with our powers, we gen like vaudeville actors as booking agents describe them: can sing, they want to dance. And when they can want to sing.” DAILY SERMONETTE Fear God, and keep his com mandments, i for this is the whole duty of man.—Ecclesias tes 12:13.

So for several weeks he I closed the doors of his place of i business and set carpenters and painters and other hands at work thoroughly overhauling, cleaning and modernizing the rooms. He tnen went to Atlanta and purchased a fine soda fountain and other fix tures. Last Monday he threw the doors open to the public. most, popular features of the cafe. Here you can have;quick service of all. kinds of refreshnients,dtiier at the counter or served at tables. Mr. Thornton will make a'specialty of sandwiches and salads, and es pecially cater to the patronage of ladles. This department' will be conducted by white girls. At any hour you can drop into Thornton’s cafe and be at once served with whatever you desire, if only a sandwich and a cup of coffee, or a more elaborate repast.

The farm is under the supervision and control !of the com missioners, who see to it that till inmates of the farm, indigent and those who are confined there for violations ‘of the law, are treated humanely and every privilege to which they are entitled, and eyen more, is practiced by those in au thority. This institution is a credit to the county and it is in deed fortunate for the county as well as the inmates to have such men as Commissioners Joseph M. drlodgson, Hugh W. White and J. H.

Pope, of Dublin, Ga., named colonel of the 122nd Georgia infantry in an election Monday, has -announced that headquarters of the regiment will bo retained in Macon. General Pope said that he will continue to occupy the position of adjutant general for the present. This is the first time in the his tory of the state, local military of ficers assert, of an officer holding two titles. It is considered likely that Gen eral Pope will be succeeded as Lieutenant Colonel, which position he held until his election as colo nel, by iMajor Felton A. Whitaker, of Macon, or Major Charles H. Cox. who opposed him in the iRTUNITY FOR CLARKE FARMERS farmers of Clarke county have an opportunity afforded ' Farmers* conference in Athens from January' 22rd 27th that ia a rare one—an opportunity that' not a single one should fail to take advantage of. It Van old saying that a prophet is not without honor save in his ’ouIn‘; country and this old adage may well be applied, in many instances other than relative to prophets. Many fanners in this copnty.may feel that nothing worth while will come out of Terence to be held here and are not planning to attend the at the same time others will travel hundreds of experts talk and see the . actual results of experi- to outlines of progress and expansion. They ap- of the meeting. i i, and those in the section adjacent to Athens of this county, could spent no more valuable time tyan to jerji session of this conference. Every farmer in a radius fifty miles can .come in with but little expense. There will be hotel! ills for them, no. railroad fare and the benefits derived ba.of untold value in helping to solve the difficulties farmers now find' themselves in the midst of. The program of the week is an'interesting and profitable one subjects of vital importance will be discussed by ex-' business men. ■' sections of the state similar conferences, on a small- on the State College of Agriculture for experts*to ’meetings while those who take advantage of the com- here will not only meet practically all of thews will be greeted by others invited here by the Col- ' is indeed an opportunity that should not be overlooked by the finrmera of this section. . GOOD BUSINESS AND GOOD CHEER January, one year ago, the boll weevil had made serious in roads in,the cotton yield in this section. The recognized money crop of JJio fanners had been reduced to a point that resulted in a near panic among the farmers, merchants! hankers and maim- ffacturers! The farmers could fotm no definite plans of operation. Business^houses were accordingly handicapped. Men became dis- gruntled.and irritable and the usual helpful cooperation that had always existed among our citizens was noticeably'absent In its place whispering, back biting and discord prevailed. A' year has worked a wonderful change. The . farmer is living at homey He knows he can raise a substantial crop of cotton with the proper methods. He lias definite plans for thin year’s work.' He is gfjing to work with a vim and a definiteness of purpose . that knows ho defeat The successful results of his labors will be reflected.throughout the e<Wland.' _• a* ' Novelet’s got;together.

Charles Winning- er in “As You Were,” their new musical play that comes to the Colonial theatre Saturday night. Miss Ring needs no introduction to play-goers. She is the same charming musical comedy actress of yore, with the same winning per sonality, and the same singing voice that has popularized scores of songs. She introduces in this new musical play her song “Make Hay, Hay, Hay, Hay,” which prom ises to become one of the best sell ers. , Mr. Winnlnger has won his spurs as a comedian both on the legiti mate and musical comedy stage. Whether he is starring in the Zieg- fiel<> Follies—he was a star there— or giving his inimitable imitations of some fellow artist, he is always a painstaking actor. He woi:ks so naturally on the stage, without re sorting to buffoonery or slap-stick methods, as so many comedians do, that one wonders sometimes how he creates so much laughter in such a .simple way. The secret seems ta be that Mr. Winninger is a thor ough artist EFFECTIVE FROCKS Even though pink is not so gen erally -popular for evening as more vivid shades, it is not entirely out of the sartorial picture, and one Sees attractive frocks of the palest pink with* much embroidery in tiny crystal beads, giving a certain frost like appearance. * I attended the opening and it was a delightful surprise to see such a beautiful and up-to-the-minute es tablishment in Athens. I have vis ited like places in such cities as Memphis, Tenn.. New Orleans, La.. Birmingham, Ala., Atlanta, Ga., and other large cities, and in the new Thornton cafe Athens has an establishment that in equipment, furnishing and service is fully equal to anything in the south. It is a credit to our city and carries out the promise that whatever Athens has must be the best. / Mr. Thornton is having fitted up a nice room overlooking Ills kitchen and safe, with chairs, desk and all necessary equipments. In this room will be installed a lady whose only duty will be to overlook [the cooking department and ser\ice wl>’ch would establish a relation of good will and business connec tion which has not been enjoyed as. thoroughly as might have been ii such forms of entertainment had been, made a precedent. The Ro tary and KhVanis clubs could do no better service to the community to sponsor such an enter prise, Let us be thinking about It and see if we cannot get in line such a movement for this nrring.
