Many women have been staying
away from town the past week on
account of the “Flu.” Others just
had to come, but while in the city
they were particular to keep a hand
kerchief to their mouth and nose—
i/ut that talking never ceased.

Wonder what is the matter with
Johnie Spencer. In one of the recent
issues of the Macon Telegraph his
editorial column looked deserted. This
appeared running up and down the
column, “The King of Spain and ye
scribe have the Spanish Flu.” Could
it be that he only had it one day?
Next day his column was spicy.

About the funniest thing that has
occured in Bainbridge lately is:
When the different sanctified sistern
are in a hurry to order ten cents
worth of matches over their phone
and when central fails to answer the
minute they take up the receiver—
why they are thinking and looking at
tha rata of fifty miles a second and
then some . •*
The office force presented us with
a nice box of candy Saturday after
noon while we were in the midst of
cleaning office. It was appreciated for
sometimes actions speak louder than
words—in this case they surely did.

In G. N. I. college it seems that in
some of the rooms they have these
"double layer” beds. Some of our
Bainbridge girles HAVE occupied top
layer of said bed—but no more for
one. She found herself on the floor
twice in one night last week and after
her five feet falls she concluded to
sleep with roomate on single bed.

Such a relief to see all the men at
work and no time to bunch on the
street corners to make remarks about
the different passers-by who happen
ed te have on a hat one-sided or a
dress a little crooked or short. May
the day dawn when MEN will be too
busy to gather to make ill remarks
about the fair sex.

Some of our sisters have been scar
ed silly over the idea of taking the
influenza. Said parties have used
unceasingly gargles, nose sprays and
asaifeotida. It would be bad but rather
funny if these scared ones should be
come victims.

The report comes to us that all of

It is such a pleasure for us to sit

Somehow or “uther” our thoughts

Several Decatur county boys are
writing us to put their name on our

live without the Post-Search Light.”
Our efforts are appreciated after all.

Special Notice to
Club Members
We have asked you in personal let
ters recently to file out your record
books and send in to us at your very
earliest convenience, but as we have
not had the response we wish we take
this method of reminding you again.
Perhaps you have not kept up with it
as you wish and have not done so
on that account or perhaps it is my
fault and you have not had one sent
you, but the point we must make is
this, it is very necessary for us to
have the records of all who have
done anything in this work, poultry
or canning, so ae to get up our an
nual report for the Ceunty. Now
this is our County and we want to
make the very best showing we can
even if we were “learning to walk”
this year, so it iB up to you to help
me out. Without your report I can
make none. Let me know at once
if you have had no record book. It
makes no difference whether you had
an exhibit or not, the record is nec
essary, and just here let me say that
we really “did ourselves proud” at
the Fair. I wish every one of our
club members could have seen the
splendid exhibits, in canned goods and
poultry, and I am sure those who did
were all inspired with visions of what
can be accomplished another year, and
have already begun to work that they
may be realized.
Now please let’s have those record
books, for I just have not the enve
lopes or cards to remind you again,
and I do not believe you want Uncle
Sam to go to that extra expense or
j to take up more of my valuable time
in this way.

How About the Farmer
The end of the fourth Liberty Loan campaign is close at hand,
the South has not fully met its share of this national obligation
There have been many subscriptions, and many of them »ere 1
There were some which represented merely the surplus money of w«
folk; there were many which meant real self-denial by the poor. Butot
whole, we have not made a sacrifice. We have said to ourselves: “1
not spare any money just now,” and turned the canvassers sway
•mall subscription or with nothing at ail.
Now, let us think this thing over, you and L This is our
boys are fighting in it, our country is backing it. It is just as mud
war as though the Germans were bombarding Charleston or S&vannii
Brunswick or New Orleans and threatening to march inland, burnlsf
destroying, and murdering innocent women and children. It Isn’t a ^
war in Europe. It i* ear war.
Let us consider this bond issue as a cold-blooded twin*** »ro|
If you like. Suppose we were stockholders in a big business house wbld
been waging a great and expensive fight for success. Suppose cur
had fought us hard and bad almost won th* victory. Suppose ths*
had poured every effort into the business and were gaining the ad
that we were right on the eve at permanent success—aud our most)
out!
Let us suppose that the president and directors you bad »1****J **
that business called on us as stockholders for more money to
fight; that they assured us and proved to us that additional h*®**
win, and pay us a handsome return. Would wo button up °ur P*
and say: “No, it isn’t our business. We can’t spare the money!
would pour in ail wo bad and mortgage our farms to berrov ***
we’d pour that in, if we had faith in the business and the ** *
conducting it for us.
And we must not forget that the United States is our bulls®*'
greatest business of all. We have entered into a camps!* 11 10 ^

The Southern farmer was worried a few weeks ago

he asks, in the name of the government, that the cotton planter

to ask that he be protected? ^
This fourth Liberty Loan is a big affair, but It Is »o* H

Without thinking of how big the amount of the national loan ^ ^

which comes to all of us some day.
