sand dollars.
O
On last Monday we rode through the country from
Athens to Winder and if the cotton crop all over this
section is as good as it is between these two cities
this section will make three-fourths of a cotton crop.
O
An examination of the bank statements that are
appearing in all the patters of the state shows con
clusively that the people of Georgia havn’t as much
money as they had last year.
O
The Gainesville Eagle denies that it has been cap
tured by Jesse Mercer, but says that it will continue
to scream in the "Queen City of the Mountains un
der its present management.
o
Editor Callaway, of the Eatonton Messenger, says
that there will not be enough cotton made in Putnam
county this year to pay the taxes. Does this mean
high taxes or low cotton yield?
O
Barrow county's tax rate has been fixed at $15.00
on the thousand dollars, with a rate of $3.50 per
thousand for schools. This with the state rate of 5
mills will make a total of $23.50 per thousand.
O
“Where is your wondering girl tonight?’’ enquires
Uncle John Shannon.
The chances are she is out with some Fatty Ar
buckle. And it's all because she hasn’t a mammy or
daddy that’s worth a hurrah in hades.—Alpharetta
Free press.
Or perhaps she is taking midnight joy rides over
the country with some speeder half filled with booze.
O
John Shannon, of Commerce, believes In fresh air.
Listen to the following confession: “A vsiiting lady
walked up the sidewalks of Commerce one day this
week wearing a very short skirt and a pair of men’s
socks. It was awful hot and when business men saw
her pass their doors, they all rushed out to the side
walk to get some fresh air.’’
STATHAM BAPTIST CHI'RCH.
The third Sunday in September
proved to be a red letter day among
Stnthmn Baptists.
A large proportion of the membership
was present, and all were enthusiastic
over the exercises of the day. Pastor
Henderson reached the climax when,
with a few beautiful chosen words, he
showed how all activities of the mis
sion boards have their foundation in
the words of God as expressed in the
Holy Bible.
A thoroughly unanimous vote re
elected lr. Daniel as superintendent,
and Mrs. Sikes as assistant.
This Sunday school is on the move.
We hope to see it soon outgrow its pres
ent quarters. There is plenty of room
on the outside to build when needed.
Examination for Post
Master At Winder

191*1, Winder is rated under the second

sired, to the Civil Service Commission,
Washington, D. C., or at the postoffice

Wanted to buy several cows fresh in
milk. If you have a good cow that’s
not fresh in milk for sale see me about
her.—Winder Pure Milk Dairy. J. W.
Saunders. Phone 1*47. 2tl-4t.

send you on receipt of only 25c in coin,
a 50c box of Hafe-Loe inner tube patch
es. which contains 35 square inches of

Why the Editor Stoops.
Several good friends have lately asked the editor
why he is getting stooped, and have been inclined to
attribute: it to the automobile accident that nearly
sent him on that long, long journey.
Here is the real truth, we think. He lias been car
rying too heavy a load for his shoulders, and has been
carrying this load too long. Ever since last fall when
money was so scarce he has been easing up on those
subscribers who have gotten behind with their dues
to the paper. $1.50 is not much of a load if it had to
Ih* carried only once, but six hundred subscribers each
IH-ing carried for $1.50 is just, S9OO, and all will agree
that this is enough to cause some stoop.—Ocilla Star.
About 1200 of our 1950 subscribers are pressing us
down just like those of the Ocilla Star are weighting
down Bro. Flanders, the editor oft Hat paper. Me are
appealing to them as fair and honest men to come up
and get off our shoulders so that we ctyi straighten
up. Are you one of those tlint are riding us? $1.50
is not much to you but 1200 hundred of them make
SI,BOO to ns. Come in and lighten tiie burden.
O
Labor Unions and Bombs
The labor unions of the country are earning an un
savory reputation these days. These organizations
are getting mixed up with bombs in such a way ms to
bring them into disrepute with all good men.
Richard Burke, the man who hurled the bomb in
Chicago in an endeavor to destroy a shoe repair shop,
stated, when arrested, that he supplied bombs for sev
eral labor unions and also the men to throw them.
Several men have been indicted in Ben Hill county
charged with the murder of Conductor Reed, of the
A. B. & A. railroad, and now union labor organiza
tions come forward and make common cause with
these men, who are indicted for murder, and propose
to raise a fund to employ counsel to defend them. The
laws of Georgia provide that every man charged with
crime shall have the benefit of counsel and that he
shall have a fair and impartial trial. Why is organ
ized labor so interested In clearing these men?
Again, why is organized labor so anxious to prove
that the recent wreck that occurred on the same rail
road in which others lost their lives was the result
of defective rails rather than a bomb? These labor
organizations are getting in a bad way and honest
American citizens are beginning to look with suspi
cion upon their fairness and sincerity.
O
When the Ninth District Press meets here next
summer we will have a dance for Uncle John Shan
non and a few cigarettes and a couple of bottles of
coca-cola for Uncle George Rucker. What do you
say?—Cleveland Courier.
That’s all right, but be sure to arrange a “fox trot”
for Bro. Townsend, of Dahlonega.
O
Rah Burton gave as his reason for not attending
the Eighth District press meeting in Athens recently
that he attended an all-day meeting with dinner on
the ground the day before. We hope Rush's gastrom
ic contrivance is not going back on him. “Shack” of
Lexington, says that he is gaining in avordupois right
along and attributes it to press meetings with din
ners on the ground. Rush should go over and get
a few pointers from the veteran hash shredder of
Lexington.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Genuine Comon Sense
Many Ford owners can afford to own and operate any
car they may choose, but they prefer a Ford “because
it is a Ford.”
For “because it is a Ford” means dependability, ease
of operation, efhciency-and it means sure, quick trans
portation.
And “because it is a Ford” means good taste, pride of
ownership and genuine Common Sense.
The Ford Sedan, a closed car of distinction, beauty
and convenience, is the ideal all year ’round car, for
pleasure or business-for the farm, town or city. It gives
you all that any car can give at a much lower cost for
operation and maintenance.
Ford Cars of all types are in great demand, so place
your order at once if you wish to avoid delay in delivery.
