We are proud of the good ; done by Judge Davis and his nittee and only wish that every Mr. T. R. Gay has returned from Florida, where he claims to have done some good fishing. We do not wish to injure his good reputation for truhtfulness and hence we omit what he said about the fish. But John D. Nash will have to catch some more carps if he stays in the lead. Mr. Chas. D. Redwine was called to Atlanta last Monday for informa tion reltive to the burglarizing of the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank some time ago. Several postoffice safes and banks in the state were blown open during the winter. Detectives have been working on each case for some time. One J. C. Moore, located at Co lumbus, Ga., was caught with a stolen government bond and several asso ciates. The circumstances led to a search of Moore’s home for stolen bonds. Buried in the back yard were found some pennies wrapped in de posit slips of the Farmers’ and Mer chants’ Bank at this place. Mr. Red wine immediately swore out .war- rants for Moore. He is now in the custoday of other officers, but will be turned over to Sheriff Kerlin \vhen the other charges are disposed of. Swat the fly. Screen Doors and Windows. G & G Hardware Co.

Jeff Brown is afraid the airships will “spill” some of the mail and that there will be no one to pick it up. From time to time we publish “Suc cess Talks to Farm Boys.” Just now we should like to offer a little “Success Talk for Farm Parents.” Every farm father or mother should seriously ask himself or herself: “What is really to determine the value of my life on this earth? What is the proper test or gauge to deter mine whether or not I am really mak ing a success of life?” It does not matter so much how much land you die possessed of; nor how many cattle or horses or build ings. Your best contribution to the world will consist of properly train ed, properly encouraged, properly in spired, properly taught, boys and girls. You may make all the money in the world and yet be worse than a failure if the children to whom you leave the money are of a sort to use it unworthily. On the other hand, you may leave no property at all, and yet die having made your life a great success if you give the world one or more boys and girls of high charac ter, good sense and a determination to make the most of all their powers of body, mind and soul. “The farm’s best crop is the crop of boys and girls” is a true saying; let no thought of land or livestock or bank accounts therefore cause you to neglect this greatest of all crops. Give your boys and girls not only the best schooling you can provide, but look constantly after the development in other ways. Provide as far as your means will permit plenty of good books and papers and good musical instruments. Enlist both boys and girls in agricultural club work. Teach them habits of industry both physi cal and mental, and yet give them time for recreation and amusement and for wholesome comradeship with other boys and girls. Take pains to tiain out any unworthy trait or habit just as soon as it appears. Govern as far as possible by love rather than force, and by example more largely than by precept. Tov/i* lathers, usually compelled to be away from their children all day long, have no such opportunity for training their children as farm fa ther’s have; but mere opportunities amount to nothing unless , they are utilized, and far too many farm par ents make no use of these superior opportunities for child-training which country life offers. And thus ended our first “Success Talk to Parents.”—The Progressive Farmer. There is a good deal said about the scarcity of labor. The enforcement of the vagrancy law will help the cause. Negroes from fifteen to twen ty-five years old are the ones you see doing nothing when the ground, is in condition to work. You see none of this class in the country doing noth- condition to work, you see more of this class in the country doing noth ing. You see them at the town de pots. This class should be made to work or put to work on the public roads for vagrancy. Another thing that will help is for farmers not to hire some one else’s hands. We sell Iron and Steel for a living.

A SUCCESS TALK FOR PARENTS. IN MEMORY OF SISTER MOLLIE CHANDLER. Like a deadly pall upon the com munity fell the news of the death of our friends and sister, Mrs. Mollie Chandler. Despite all physical aid and tender nursing by loved ones, after a few months of illness, the dread disease took her away. She suffered patiently. It seemed that she ralized that death was coming. She was blessed with a long life, having carried the burden of life for seventy-two years; never complaining of the crosses and trials of life; be ing submissive to the will of her heav enly Father. Aunt Mollie was born February 13, 1847; was married to G. M. Chandler in 1866, to which she was devoted till April 20, 1919, when the Lord saw fit to call her home. Unto them were born thix’teen children. Four preceded her to the grave. She joined the church at Flat Creek iu 1867 and then came to Line Creek, where she has been a faithful mem ber. , , . She was an affectionate and loving wife and mother. She possessed those refined qualities which characterize a true lady and a noble Christian, and to know her was to love her. Her whole life was one sunshine and pleas ure to all those with whom she came in contact. It may be said that earth is poorer and heaven is richer with the passing away of such a person. Bereaved ones, look up and think of her as one who loved you through a long life. She loved you even when the shades of death shut out your vision and the heart gave its last throbs, and, though her body slumber in the silent grave, her love now, so full and free, bids earthly loved ones to meet here there—so she is not dead but sleeping— “Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes weep.” GOOD CITIZENSHIP A Bank account makes a good citizen. That’s a broad assertion, but it is universally true. A good citizen is one who is independ ent, self-supporting, and who does things con ducive to the best interest of the commun ity. The man who has a bank account is independent, he is thrifty, he is able to pay his way, and he contributes to the general wealth of his community. His funds are in circulation. He pays taxes and helps to make things go. Likewise a man who has money and property in a community is anxious to see that the community prosper. We pull for the man with the bank account.
