Winder fittingly remembered the heroes of the six
ties last Wednesday. She honored one of her
own young sons by making Col. Richard B. Russell
the orator of the day.

Chnrlie Rountree, of the Wrightsville Headlight,
admits he's a married man. Hear him: “They might
as well never have made a ceremony with the ‘obey’ in

A mau at Hartwell died yesterday, leaving an au
tomobile and 15 cents in cash, proving that a man
can own an automobile and have money, too.—Ander

We note that Editor Townsend, of Dahlonega, is
still sleeping in his breeches. He keeps thoroughly
posted on what is going on in his town day and night.
O
An exchange hands out the following wisdom:
“Early to bed and early to rise, cut the weeds and
swat the flies, mind your business and tell no lies;
don’t get gay or deceive your wives; pay your debts,
use enterprise and buy from the firms that adver
tise."
O
When a man is always talking about woman’s
dress, it’s a fact that he hasn’t much to talk about.—
Waltou News.
If this expression bad come from Jack Patterson,
the old bachelor of Atlanta Journal, we would not have
been surprised, but coming from oue who has long been
a benedict, we do not understand it. Surely Mrs. Cald
well must be away from home!
O
Tell us, please, how a preacher can preach next
Sunday when he is looking at so many good looking
women all dolled up like queens, looking as sweet as
spring roses.—Commerce News
We are sorry the good ladies knocked our friend
over at Commerce out of the pulpit so early in his
ministerial career. Would suggest that friend Suan
mon assume the attitude that George Rucker accused
us of assuming down at Tybee last summer. Shut
your eyes and sing, “Come angel band, come, and
around me stand.” Shannon cun put his own construe
ation on the words, "angel band."
O-
John Shannon and Commerce
“Busted.”
It looks like everything is going to the demnitlon
bow-wows. Everybody, rich ami poor alike, is bust
ed. The boll weevil will destroy our cotton. Tl.e rust
promises to clean up the wheat crop. The beetle sPs
on the Irish potato row. waiting the appearance of the
first leaf. The hawks are catching the chickens, as
sisted by the min’-.s poi.vats and mites. Insects are
playing havoc w'tb the choice flowers. The canta
loupe worm Is in the patch ready for business. Flies
are swarming an i an the temperature will permit,
the mosquito will rob us of our night’s rest. Is there
no balm iu Gilead and no physician there? —Commerce
News.
O -
Winning: Out.
Those who win out in this world are the ones who
know how to give good, honest service. Too many
have their eye solely on the money they are to re
ceive rather than on the thoroughness with which
they should do their work. Many do just enough to
“get by” on and think they are the gainers thereby.
The result is always the loss of the job. People who
win always see how much effort, how much efficiency
they can put in their work. They are not satisfied
until the thing is done right They are the ones who
soon have businesses of their own and become em
ployers instead of employee's.
A man who is faithless in small things can never
become ruler over great things. He that is careless
in the business of liis employer will never have a bus
iness of his own. Success has no favorites. She
comes to all who are willing to pay the price, and one
of the prices attached to her is the faithful, efficient
service that one is due his or her employer.
If one has the fuith and efficiency of a grain of
mustard seed he can become a great success in the
world.
A Notable Sunday School Class.
Our good friend, Henry C. Tuck, In Athens, is
teaching a Sunday school class at the First Meth
odist church of that city, that is attracting attention
throughout this section of the state. Henry Tuck Is a
close sudent, an entertaining speaker and a most lov
able man. He has been teaching this adult male elate
for ataiut eight years, and the work has grown steadily
year after year. He has realized the truth of that say
ing of the Christ: “if ye continue in my word, ye
shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.”
O
Bobbed Hair.
Mrs. Edna Cain Daniel, the talented co-editor of the
Quitman Free Pr<s*>. wrote a very interesting article
recently defending bobbed hair. She intimates that
there are many married ladies iu Quitman who would
like to wear their hair bobbed bnt are afraid. She
gives as the reason :
It was sweet to bob her hair,
But oh how bitter! t
To cut it all off and have
Her husband quit her!
Mrs Daniel goes further and says that there are
women in Quitmau who are telling themselves that
bobbed hair is not a frivolity or the special privilege
of the flapper age. but a blessed release from the
tyranny of caring for long hair. They wish they had
the courage to cut and they say if there are six mar
ried women who will be brave enough to do it they
will celebrate a day of emancipation and all have their
hair bobbed.
We suggest that Mrs. Daniel arrange for a debate
on this very important question at the press meeting
in July. So far as the editor of the News is concern
ed, the ladies are at perfectly liberty to wear their
hair just as it suits them, without any criticism from
him. but a debate at Quitmau would be quite interest
ing.
O
A Plea For The Home.
Upon the homes of our country rest the future safe
ty and prosperity of our nation. It is so today. It
has always been true. We ask our readers to ponder
the following splendid words from Henry W. Grady
one of Georgia's greatest sons:
“I went to Washington the other day, and as I
stood on Capitol Hill, my heart beat quick as I
looked at the towering marble of my country’s capi
tol, and the mist gathered in my eyes as I thought of
its tremendous significance, and the armies, and the
Treasury, and the judges, and the President, and the
Congress, and the courts and all that was gathered
there. And I felt that the sun in all its course could
not look down on a better sight than that 4 majestic,
home of a Republic that bad taught the world its best
. * • i
lessons of lit*erty.
Two days afterwards I went to visit a frieud in the
country, a modest man, a quiet country home. It was
just a simple, unpretentious house, set about with big
trees, encircled in meadow and field rich with the
promise of harvest. The fragrance of the pink and
the hollyhock in the front yard was mingled with the
aroma of the orchard and of the gardens, and resonant
with the cluck of poultry and the hum of bees. Inside
was quiet, cleanliness, thrift, and comfort. There
was the old clock that had welcomed in steady meas
ures every newcomer to the family, that had ticked
the solemn requiem of the dead, and had kept com
pany with the watches at the bedside. There were
the big restful beds and the old open fireplace and
the old family Bible, thumbed with the fingers of
bands long since still and wet with tears of eyes long
since closed, holding the simple annals of the family
and the heart and the conscience of the home.
Outside there stood my friend * * * master of his
laud and master of himself. There was his old fath
er. an aged, trembling man, but happy in the heart
and home of his son. And as they started to their
home the hands of the old man went down on the
young man’s shoulders, laying there the unspeakable
blessing of the honored and grateful father, and en
nobling it with the knighthood of the Fifth Command
ment. * * * And I saw the night come down on that
house, falling gently as from the wings of the unseen
dove. And the old mau, while a startled bird called
from the forest and the trees shrilled with the crick
et's cry and the stars were swarming in the sky, got
the family around him, and taking the old Bible from
the table called them to their knees (the little baby
hiding in the folds of its mother’s dress), while he
closed the record of that simple day by calling down
God’s benediction on that family and that home. And
while I gazed the vision of that marble capitol faded.
Forgotten were its treasures and its majesty, and I
said: “O, surely here in the homes of the people are
lodged at last the strength and the responsibility of
this Government, the hope and the promise of this
Republic."
O
Hammering down taxes is going to be a mighty big
issue in this state before long and we are heartily
in favor of it coming right away. It is a sight to see
just how much real hard down good money people pay
out for taxes. We know it requires money to operate
government and schools, but if the everlasting waste
and carelessness were cut out aud pure economics
used people wouldn't have heavy burdens of taxation
on them so much. Taxation is right and necessary
but it is getting to be rather out of proportion we be
lieve and we are in for lowering somewhere. — Tha
Wrightsville Headlight.
