VOL. XXVIII. NEWS ITEMS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS Gathered From Exchan ges in Adjoining Counties. Jackson County. (Commerce News) Two dozen negroes from Putnam county lauded in Commerce last Mon day. They were refugeeing from the boll weevil regions. They came from 'near Eatontofn. They were hunting work. They wanted something to eat. They said they wanted to work for somebody that had something to eat. They were not striking for higher wages. They were willing to accept almost any sort of work. They wanted to get a peep at a few nickels. They say its hard times in the regions from which they came. The l*oll weevil came and conquered. There’s nothing doing down there, they say. And what does that mean? Does it mean that we, of this section, are to suffer the same fate? The farmers of Putnam county made but little cotton last year, hull they believed they could make one more ernp.” They tried it. and failed. Up to the middle of last week, there had been only two btfUs of cotton ginned in that county. And the crop there is two weeks earlier, normally, than here. The question arises: AVill the farmers of this section try next year to make one crop, or will they profit by the ex perience of the Putnam farmers? We shall see what we shall see. Gwinnett County.

I am not using the edito rial "we” hut the personal pro noun, “I.” I am writing it be cause my heart is breaking, and 1 just must write. I am writing too, that iny children may pre serve these thoughts in their scrapbooks, and when the ordeal through which their father has passed and is passing now, be comes a sweet memory, only, they may know something of the things that well up in his heart today. Ottfers may read this column this week if they wish. Otherwise it will be alright, * * * About thirty-two years ago, l first saw the “one woman” in all the world to mo. I had gone to the little village oT Coleman, Oa., in Randolph county, to teach school. ‘Twas one Sunday morn ing. I remember it well. I en tered the church a stranger and took my place as ;< visitor in one of the Sunday school classes. Off to my left and up nearer the front, was a class of little chil dren being taught by a young la dy who was destined to become the wife of my youth and the com rade of my life. Her appearance and demeanor attracted me and in the course of a few weeks we became acquainted. This ac quaintance developed into love, and on August 2<>tli. I*l*o. the writer and Miss Eva Zuber stood tip before a man of God in a cozy country homo in Randolph coun ty and plighted our vows to love and cherish each other through weal and woe. until death should part us. For thirty-one years we have ,-orae down the pathway of life together. She 'shared with me my disappointments and rejoiced with me in my successes. No bet ter woman ever lived. She often km ill that the ambition of her life, was to make a good wife and a good mother. I know she was both. She was the queen of ray heart and of our home. * When you reach into the hu man heart and tear out the sweet images that have nqstled there for more than thirty years, there may l>e some semblance of heal ing but the heart will always show the result of the catastro phe. And that is what has come into my life —a catastrophe. My children are my only con solation. They are bone of her bone, flesh of her flo.sh. Her na ture Ls theirs -,tno. When I look upon them, I feed that I am look ing upon her. When they a TC with me I feel that she Is with me. I must 1M it go at that the rest of ray days. • * • I believe in God, I believe in immortality. God is too good to jo wrong and too wise to make a nlstake. I do not understand now but the time Is coming when the hidden things shall be brought to light, and the things spoken in the closet shall be proclaimed on the housetop. 1 await my time to understand* This ts what faith means, the patience to wait until the revelation of things are made. My wife believed in God: she believed in Christ. She ac ceptod Him as her savior. She lev el His cause and was the means to lead her eight children to the COUNTY LINE Miss Woodie Craft spent Saturday night with Miss Carmen Elder. jyir. and Mrs. John Rhodes and Mrs Mattie Davis, of near Campton, spent Saturday night and Sunday with Mr. M H. Hudgins and family. Miss Lueile Sigmon Visited Miss Au rora Attaway Saturday night and Sun day. „ Misses Desma Murphy and Birtie Hudgins were guests of Miss Hula Har dy Sunday afternoon. Mr. Roy Flanigan and family of I>a wronccville visited Mr. J. G. At ta wny and family Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur House spent J Sunday night with Mr. and Mrs. Mel vin Murphy. Mr. J. G. Attaway is iil with lagrip at this writing: we hope be will soon recover. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hardy are visit- same Saviour. If to boa good Christian, a loving wife, a devot ed mother, a great home-maker is of any value in the span of life, I rest content. She was all of them to the very of her abil ity- • * * She wtos above all things a mother. She mothered us all. The following verses written by an old schoolmate of the writer come back to my mind today as 1 think of her: Make ink of tears and molten gems And sunbeams mixed together. With golden pen and holy hand, Go, write the name of mother. On mountains high, in valleys low In every land and clime. On every throbbing human heart, That blessed name enshrine. Take childhood’s lights and man hood's shades, Celestial canvas given. In beauty trace that name and face. And hang it up in heaven. Thence upward to the great white throne. Midst music soft aml sweet, Thank Jesus for that precious name, And write it at his feet. * * * What a great place is Winder! now her noble people did rush to our aid! We would name them, one by one, if we had space. The kindness shown will ever be held in the memory of the husband and children. We all hope to live long enough to show the good people of our home town how much we appreciate their help. We thank God that our lot bus been cast in this goodly city. * * And the good people of our former home in Watkinsville were just as kind and considerate aud helpful as they could be. Their needed help came, quickly, and their words of consolation were as healing waters on our discon solate spirits. May God bless them. * * * The beautiful floral offerings that came to us from all over the state were iu line with her na ture. She loved flowers, aud it was the delight of her life to glow and enjoy them, and send them to her friends and neighbors that they, too, might enjoy them. How we did appreciate the flowers. V * * * The kind telegrams and letters that came to the husband and children have touched our hearts and made us thank God for friends. We love them, every one. We want them to know how com forting and sustaining these sweet messages of love and friendship have been. May God bless them all. * * * Rut I must stop. I could write on and on and on. My heart clings to every dour friend that lias helped by word or deed. With faith in God and the eternul fitness of things. 1 will face the coming years, lie they many or few, thank ful that mingled with my great sor row are the undying words and deeds of countless friends and have helped to lighten the burden.

Although we have but a few active members with non-resident, aud those unable to attend, it has been our great pleasure to accede to the requests of the National Society for money, and under the able leadership of our regent, Mrs. Geo.
