Tlift successful in life have always worked longer
and harder than necessity demanded.
The life histories of all successful men show that
they were the most persistent in their efforts.
O
While many people seem to think otherwise, jet
the path to progress is still tho path of effort^
O
Before n man can make a success of life he must
learn some things that are not in the books.
O
The midwiut t meeting of the Georgia Press Asso
ciation will be held in Atlanta next Monday. We
are going.
O
Shorter working hour dajs and longer time for idle
ness will never bring prosperity to individuals or
nations.
O
The right way to measure our length of life is not
liv the numb rof years we have Lived but-by what we
have accomplished.
O
People always have just such laws as they want,
and these laws are enforced just as the people desire
them enforced.
—O
Farmers ought not to run the potato business in
the ground.—Alpharetta Free Press.
Will Editor Rucker please tell us how the farmer
is going to run his potato business anywhere else but
in the ground?
O
It is said that there is not a country ham for sale
in Atlanta. If we owned John W. we’d surely offer
him for sale cheap.—Alpharetta Free Press.
From which we infer that while Editor Rucker may
like country ham, lie is not fond of the Atlanta-cured
variety.
O
Winder’s streets are much better than her side
walks Winder News.
From which wp infer that you think more of your
iniihv* than you do of your women.—Commerce News.
No, we do not think more of our mules than our
women, but possibly we think more of our automobiles
than we do of our pedestrians. Our women ride In
automobiles, and for their comfort we have paved our
at reels.
We’ll go anywhere and do almost anything just
io get a peep at tlie physiognomy of the veteran ink
slinger of the famous Dahlonega Nugget.—Winder
News.
And when you set* him you will declare him a dead
-crons between Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis and
James Whitcombe Riley.—Alpharetta Free Press.
We are inclined to think Editor ltueker is mistaken.
He may be a “cross” between Landis and Riley, but
we are sure that he is not a “dead cross." Judging
from the Nugget he mut be a very “live cross."

HEBRON CTII RCH.
The editor of the News had the pleas
ure of preaching to Hebron church near
Daculn last Sunday. This church is
one of the really strong churches in
this sedtbffi and| its membership is
composed of the finest characters to be
found anywhere in the state. We en
joyed meeting these splendid people
and enjoying their kind hospitality for
the day.
We Distrust Each Other.
Credit is a fine incentive to business and credit is
founded upon faith in our fellowman. We are all em
barrassed in our operations now because of a lack of
credit. Credit is Ix-ing restricted now because we are
afraid of each oth'-r. Many of us have abused our
credit and to that extent have caused others to lose
faith in us. If you have done anything to cause
others to lose faith in you, you have not only injured
yourself hut to some extent have helped to bring
about the present depressed conditions. We need to
hark hack to those high ideas of integrity and manli
ness that will restore our own self-respect and nlso
help restore our confidence in each either. This is
what makes a prosperous, progressive and happy people.
• O
’Twas Ever Thus.
An hour’s work in your garden before breakfast is
a line tonic for the day. Resolve to have a good gar
den in 1922 and work it yourself. Your vegetables
will taste much better, and lie mrre digestible.—Win
der News.
There are two tilings we hope will be eliminated
on the other side of the River Death—cutting
stovewood and working in the garden. We are
• unable to figure out just how the garden will he
kept unless the inhabitants do the work, but we
couldn’t be happy if we had it to do.-—Alpharetta
Free Press.
We had Editor Rucker in mind when we wrote the
above paragraph. We are anxious for him to get
away from that lean, hungry look, and so suggested
that he raise something to eat. But ’twas ever thus
that we see our fondest hopes decay.
O
The Value of Farm Lands.
From the soil has always come the food that sus
tains life and the clothes that protect the race from
cohi and inclement weather. All wealth comes from
the soil. The safest and strongest nations in the
world will always be those of great agricultural re
sources. Our farms are our greatest wealth.
Just now there is a tendency to discount the value
of our farms. On account of prevailing conditions
and the presence of the boll weevil many are becoming
discouraged over the farming outlook. Some are try
ing to leave the farms to seek work iu other lineß.
They are unwise. We have never lost confidence in
the soil of Georgia. Her farms are still fertile and
productive. Out of her soil must come our food and
Clothes. Stop the farms and we all perish. We must
never lose faith in our best resources.
If you have a farm, cling to it. Count it as one of
your best assets. The price of land sometimes de
creases, temporarily, but the price has always been
upward in the long run. Am! the price of farm lands
will always tend upward. In just a short time things
will be lighted and land will come into its own again.
The writer thinks more of his land than any other
property he possesses. While not very remunerative
just now it will come back again with increased value
and with greater remuneration.
If you do not own any of God’s earth, buy some.
Now is a good time to buy land. Work it the best
you can and hold to it. When land becomes valueless
everything else will lose its value. As the years come
and go men are going to turn more and more to the
soil. As population increases the price of land will
increase, and happy will be the man who owns a
farm of his own, upon which he can make a comfort
able and independent living.
When the swings back, which it is sure to
do in a few years, land will be found to be our most
valuable possession.
O
A dispatch from Jefferson to one of the Atlanta pa
pers tells of a negro there undergoing an operation
during which a whole pint of his brain was removed,
and now he is well and talking. This limy be an un
kind cut, but honest, we’ve seen some folks with all
their brains out who could talk.—Hartwell Sun.
Editor Morris should not talk so unkindly about
the people of Hartwell and Hurt county.
