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. Methodist Services Sunday. February 12th. 10:15 A. M. Sunday school.
