Kelly is a married man.

Editor Boatwright, of Swainshoro. says that there
is a sign on the outskirts of ids town which reads:
“Prepare to meet your God.” He says this is not in

Here’s a rhyme from the Quitman tree Press.
“Save your pennies and your dimes
And wealth will surely follow.
Deny thyself at all times
And your heirs will spend your dollar."

The Hartwell Sun says it's warm tiiis summer just
like it was last summer, and like it has been past
summers. This is all true, hut folk have short mem
ories. You can’t expect a fellow to remember a whole
twelve months back. If he did, he would remember
those promises he made to pay.
O
We want Editor Townsend to tell us why Bill Mc-
Cants, of Winder, goes up to Dahlonega so often
them* days We’ve been wanting to go with him for
some time, hut lie always slips out the back way and
then comes around to our office on his return and tells
what a great time he had. Bro. Met'ants looks like
a man who has a good appetite and a fine goozle.
O
An exchange describes the ups and downs of an
editor as follows;
When a doctor makes a mistake he buries it.
When a judge makes a mistake it becomes a law.
When a preacher makes a mistake nobody knows the
difference.
But when an editor makes a mistake —Goodnight.
O
James it. Hill, the railroad King, said on one occa
sion that the true test of success in a man was to see
if he could save, if not failure was written at the end
of his career. Nise-tentlis of the crimes are prepe
trated by young men who haven’t made any preten
tion to save. What class do you belong to? Start
a saving account and go forward, young man.
O
Editor Townsend, of Dahlonega, says that judging
from our editorials we must be in love with some
lady. Judging from the following taken from the
Nugget, our friend must bo in love with some of the
good things of lift*, himself: “We live half a mile
from town and are now enjoying and getting fat hut
not saucy. We eat three meals a day, and on our way
home there are plenty of blackberries, enabling us
to pick and eat as many as we wish before taking
on our beans, potatoes and other good substantial
food not found at a picnic.”
O
Off To Quitman.
The editor of the News left last Monday morning
for Quitman, Ga„ to attend the annual Georgia Press
Association. The association closed on Wednesday
night, and the editors left early Thursday morning
for an outing at Brunswick and St. Simons Island.
Up will return Saturday night.
O
Honest Instruction.
This country needs above all other thisgs education
and instruction in teaching the coming generation the
importance of honesty, daily talks and lessons that
will convince every American child that honesty is the
only permanent, successful policy. And that theft
will need them to crime and disgrace.
Tench them that stealing a watermelon is as much
a crime as stealing a liorsc* or automohffi*. and the
only way to attain fame is to be honest at all times
and usder all circumstances.
Life For A Life.
It has been reported that a bill will be introduced
in this session of the legislature abolishing capital
punishment. We <k> not believe such a law would be a
wise one. The old law “of life for life” seems to us
the must effective deterrent of murder that we can
yet contrive* '
We believe in but there can be no place for
mercy where two parties are concerned. If you are
merciful to one you will be unmerciful to the other.
To be merciful to the criminal is to be unjust to the
public, and all laws should be exactry just. When a
man commits a murder he forfeits his right to live
among people, and this right should Ik* taken away
from him.
We do not believe In hanging. We think the elec
tric chair is far the betted plan, but we do believe in
capital punishment for those who wantonly take the
life of their fellovvman.
Human life is too dear and should be held too sa
cred for any nation to hold the preservation of it
lightly.
O
I Am Your Town.
Make of me what you will—l shall reflect you as
clearly as a mirror throws back a candle beam.
If I am pleasing to tlie eye of the stranger within
my gates, if I am such a sight as. having seen siie,
he will remember me all his days as a thing of beauty,
tlie credit is yours.
Ambition and opportunity call some of my sons
and daughters to high tasks and mighty privileges,
to my greater honor and to my good repute in far
places, but it is not chiefly these who are my best
strength. My best strength is in those who remain,
who are content with what I can offer them, and
with what they can offer me. It was greatest of all
Romans who said. “Better lie first in a little Iberian
village than be second in Rome.”
I am more than wood and brick and stone, and
more oven than flesh and blood —I am the compo
site soul of all who call me Home.
I am your town.—Selected.
The Power of Habit.
We all form habits in connection with self; with
our home life, social life, business and in speech and
action. Affection, emotion; in fact every expression
of man, is ruled by habit. In some of our mechanical
establishments may be seen a machine invented to
operate on cold iron. With all the ease and quiet
of a common printing press, it exerts a force equal to
a thousand tons, whilst at every pressure of the “cam”
large cubes are pressed out of the solid bar as easily
ns one can break earthenware or mould clay. It will
push its hard steel fingers through iron two inches
thick, without the slightest jarring or failure in tlie
regularity of its action. Just so docs habit have its
rhythmical action on us. Bad habits crush us in
time, while good habits mould us into more useful,
efficient and lovable people. Habit is the strongest
force in man.
Habit of thought digs deep grooves in the mind.
Tills means that thought, as other things in life, nat
urally flow through these grooves which wc have dug.
If tlie grooves represent channels of thought and ac
tion of a strengthening, commendable nature, our
lives are being lived constructively and we have little
to fear ns far as the future is concerned. But if they
represent weakness we should at once‘set about re
directing this energy into new channels and contin
uing in it until new habits have been formed in us.
You are NOT “fate-driven,” but “Master of your
own destiny.” If the job seems too big to tackle alone
get help, hut DON'T continue in weakness. —Selected.
o
As To Advertising.
In discussing the question of advertising, Mr.
George Woodruff, vice president of the National
Bank of the Republic of Chicago, gave forth some
ideas concerning ibis important business proposition
that all business men would do well to consider. He
said that among all advertising plans the newspaper
advertising is unquestionably the “Big llcrtha" of
them all.
“The Dig idea,” said Mr. Woodruff, "is to accom
plish four things. These four tilings are interest, de
sire, enthusiasm and action.”
It would be well for all advertisers to remember
these four words in laying out their advertisements.
Every advertiser must secure the interest of the
public by their advertisements. These should be so
worded as to attract tlie interest of the reader. You
must secure the attenion of the readers of he paper.
Second, your adverisements should he so worded as
to create a desire on the part of tlie public to patron
ize your place of business.* Y'ou must show how and
why it is desirable to trade with the advertiser.
Third, you must always manifest the spirit of en
thusiasm in your advertisements. The spirit of pes
simism must find no place there. The proper spirit of
enthusiasm will compel action on the part of the pub
lic, and this is what you desire.
It pays to advertise. No doubt about that. The
best merchants of any city are always the ones that
advertise. They do the business of their communities.
And the best merchants do not hold up in their ap
peals to the public. They keep everlasting at it.
THE WINDER NEWS
C. M. THOMPSON’S
WEEKLY LETTER
This week we find our youth stroll
ing from that rural log cabin church
and upon the grassy yard meets old
and young, chatting as they will after
meeting hour.'
A handsome cousin came tramping
up I legging father and mother to let
this youth whom I shall now call Bill,
go home with them, Their consent was
granted and off we strolled a distance
of some two miles. There were quite
a crowil of us as we left, but
at different points along the way some
tunned his or her own way. This thin
ning our number considerably. As we
strolled over mountianous hills and
through valley, across creeks and
branches we were charmed at the lux
uriant growth of tall oak and pine, the
dense clustering of muscadine and
bramble that, grew on the hill slope and
poplar, elder, fox and winter grape
vines that hung so graceful over the
small streams we crossed. Our way
was rocky and sometime steep. Flint,
and slate in abundance. When we en
tered the yard which was heavly shad
ed with oak, hickory and cedar in
front we seated ourselves a bit to cool
and rest. Rested we strolled around to
the back yard which was shaded with
peach, pear, apple and plumb trees.
A pretty and well-worn path led us
about fifty yards to a pretty spring
boiling from a sand stone and one
never failed to see pretty white sand
bubbling up in tlie bottom of this spring.
Here we took from a limb of a bush
a goard and drank to our heart’s con
tent this cool refreshing water.
On our return to the house we went
to tlie front, pulled a string and a
large bat tan door leaned gently open
and we entered. No steps to climb, no.
wooden floor, just a cleanly place\swept
on the face of mother earth.
This door fit closely to the ground
as well as the sills upon which the
house logs were built.
This house was composed of three
rooms; it was a double log cabin with
a “lean to" or shed room on one side.
The main room we first entered was
company room and had a table, two
beds and several shelves. These shelves
were made by boring a hole with an
auger then driving a wooden pin into
the hole then placing a plank upon
these pins, on one of these sat an old
clock.
I will not have time to tell you so
minutely the kitchen furniture. A
large fireplace which would admit the
burning of five or six feet sticks of
wood.
“Agin the chimney crook-neck hung,
And in amongst ’em rusted,
The old queen’s arm that granther
young
Fetched hack from Concord busted.
For a hearth a large rock on which
they baked their Johnny cake and in
a comer stood a board smooth and
clean on which they some times placed
a batch of dough before tlie fire to
scorch to crisp brown.
In this simple home of God's loving,
serving and fearing people we will
leave Bill for a season.
Say Mr. or Mrs. Age in all your lux
uriant home comforts, your music box
es, your jazz band and radio equip
ment ; your school at your door; your
church a minute’s walk, your speed
machines that connect you with distant
places in an hour or two, your phones
and many labor-saving devices carries
you to a thought and what is it.
Oh to lie a child again with nature in
till of its simplicity and loveliness. You
have grown old, fermented and soured
you are pickled in brine of high social
life and high church life when you
could have been preserved in the sweet
ness of purity, lonely and truth.
Why not return to the child-like faith.
Get down upon the dirt floor with
Bill whore the latch string of love al
ways hangs out. Go back to nature
and nature’s God ns we are taught in
the Book of Books. C.M.T.
