FROM “THECOTTONKING
CARTERSVILLE. GEORGIA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1915.
OLD OCTOBER PURT’ NIGH GONE.
All over the state ol Indiana week before last the people
celebrated the sixty-third birthday of the state’s best known
and best lieloved eiti/.en—the poet, James Whitcomb Itiley.
We are giving herewith as being especially timely, his tribute
to the most beautiful month of all the twelve:
Old October port’ nigh goue
And the frosts is cornin’ on
Little heavier every day—
Like our hearts is that away!
Leave* is changin’ overhead
Hack from green to gray and red,
Brown and yeller, with the stems
Loosenin’ on the oaks and e’ms;
A nil the balauca of the trees
Gittiu’ bolder every breeze —
Like the heads we’re scratchin on
Old October’s purt nigh goue.
I love Old October so,
I can’t bear to see her go—
Beenis to me like losiu' some
Old home relative er chum —
’Pears like sort o’ settiu’ by
Some old friend ’ sigh by sigh
Was a passiu’ out o’ sight
Into everlastin’ night!
Hickenuits a fellow hears
Battlin down is more like tears
Drappin on the leaves below—
I love Old October so!
Can’t tell what it is about
Old October knocks me out —!
I sleep well enough at night—
And the blamedest appetite
Ever mortal man possessed—
Last thing ec, it tastes the best! —
Walnuts, butternuts, pawpaws,
lies and limbers up my jaws
For real services sich as new
Pork, spareribs, and sausage, too—
Yit fer all, they’s somepiu’s 'bout
October knocks me out.
The 4-H Brand of Boys and Gills
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
Fifteen thousand boys and girls of
Georgia belong to clubs whose motto
te represent od by four H’s. They are
the 4-H brand of boys and girls. These
Hour H's stand for the development of
the Head, the Hand, the Heart and
the Health. The brand is stamped on
ail the products offered for sale by
these c4ub members. They wear the
totters on their breasts emblazoned on
buttons. They display it at the ex
hibits ef the school, the county, the
district and the state fairs.
The first “H” represents the train
ing of the head. Very little progress
can be made without intellectual de
velopment, so an effort must be made
to train our girls and boys to think
to reflect, to look Into their problems
and reach definite conclusions. The
more highly trained they are the more
successfully they will meet difficulties
and the faster they will progress.
The second “H” means to train the
hand. The hands, of course, are very
important to the individual, but they
aro of little service without training.
One may he able to use the hands for
certain things with advantage, but he
.may not be skillful in the use of his
hands. Therefore, the acquirement of
sktH and deftness become matters of
NOT PREFERRED.
“I suppose that even aviators have
their fasti ions.”
“Yes, hut few of them, 1 hear, are
incAmed to any new fall styles.”

“That's certainly some hip movie
that’s being staged in Europe.”
“You hot! It might be called

“You must keep the patient iso
lated.”
“All right, doctor. I’ll get the ice
right away.”

Miss Prim —I can hardly keep my
countenance.
M iss Pert —Well, nobody else
wants it.
great importance. One girl is able to
can tomatoes and a boy to pollinate
corn to advantage. But such things
follow the training of the hands to be
useful, and most Important of all, to
be skillful.
The third “H” stands for training
the heart. Education is of little value
and skillful hands not worth while un
less the heart is trained to be kind,
true and sympathetic. Life Is only
valuable as we are able to serve oth
ers, and as we are served by others.
Kindness is a trait of patriotism
which we should strive to develop,
for it means that we are to lend our
sympathy and support to those less
fortunate than ourselves, and that we
all work and co-operate together for
the greatest good to the greatest num
ber.
The fourth “H” represents health.
What advantage to be clear-minded,
skillful-handed and sympathetic-heart
ed If one has not the power through
vigorous health to serve others? Dis
ease lurks everywhere about us. We
do not appreciate as we should the
forms in which disease may appear,
and the relative ease with which we
may evade it, if our bodies are in a
thoroughly vigorous condition.
Owl —What are you calling the
janitor down for?
Squirrel I was mistaken. I
thought the steam pipes were mak

but it seems it was that woodpecker
family that has moved in above us.
