SNAP SHOTS BY REV. W. H. FAUST Breach of promise suits are not so numerous as divorce cases. Therefore, courting couples are happier than tlie married couples. Debts, boll weevils and bad roads put the wrinkles in lots of fellows faces these days. The thinking machines of men are peculiar. They enable a fellow to harbor malice a year and forget a kind ness in an hour. Serious sickness is a matter of grave concern to the doctors, patients and undertakers. About all the credit a fellow can get from business men now is credit for good intentions. The folks who are so precise and prudish that they use limb for leg. will have to stall when it comes to boot binders. When an automobile stops it stops, hut when an aeroplane stops she rops. See ? Ladies in these days of short dresses should make fine candidates—they have so little to conceal. When a farmer insists that he has seen a snake milking a cow it is time to ask if lie uses home brew'. Abuse Turks and rich fellows all you please hut plenty of money and a harem is some men's idea of happiness. Backbone, common sense, industry and sticktoitiveness are badly needed in these days. More men seem to be coveting their neighbors’ wives these days than the houses of their husbands. Lots of fellows wear patched shirts and 1916 model V in order that their wives may ride in 1921 model cu rs. The proposed $75,000,000 bond issue to build Georgia Highways ought to pass. The roads are doggoned rough in many places. If you don't believe it just ride anywhere nowadays. GENUINE <EX IDE Batteries i| >r Fords and Chevrolet Automobiles now $25.00 at Smith Hardware Cos.
