Our Town.
Our town is the town of happiness. We strive for
something more than business. We strive for friend
liness. one with another, which mnkes life worth
while We have a family circle in which every in
habintant counts one. Our motto is 'One for AIL and
All for One.” And we want to play the same game
with our neighbors everywhere. Life is the gume of
Brotherhood, and our Town is building on that basis.

O
Did tlie* election go to suit you?
—O
There are many “also runs” in Georgia to-day.
O
The end of the coni strike seems to be at hand. We
are thankful.
O
Not many of us have homes. We only have places
where we eat and sleep.
It is Mot too late to sow a turnip patch. Go in for
a good fall and winter garden.
O
The long drouth that lias gripped this section for
many weeks was broken last Monday by good rains.
O
A great many girls can walk around on a dance
ball floor fox hours but can’t walk one hundred yards
on the sidewalk.
O
No doubt many mothers are greatly relieved on ac
count of the opening of school. They can now pass
a few hours In peace during the day.
o ——
Lot us keep up the spirit of optimism. Everything
will work out all right If we will keep up our cour
age and continue to try. *
O
It is said that someone has invented a cotton picker
that is a success. He got the Idea by noticing how
easily a cow licked the links out of the boll.

“Mama,” said little Jane, “do men ever get to
heaven?”
"Why, of course, my dear. What makes you ask.'
“Because I never see any pictures of augels with
whiskers.”
“Well.” said the mother thoughtfully, “Some men
do go to heaven, but they only get there by a dose
shave.” —Smiles. , . . ft-il

The Young: At Heart.
It’s a great thing to stay young. Only those who
bruise themselves against the world grow old. There
ought to be as much joy and just as much expectancy
in our last years as In our tirst ones. We ought to
continue tx> look forward and upward to the end of
life. The last year of onr existence upon this earth
can be just as plea stint and should have just as many
thrills as any other yearfl It all depends upon the
way we have aecustomemed ourselves to looking at
things. We are not here to fret and fume but to sing
and labor and Do happy. We are not here to envy
our neighbors but to wish them well and to lead a
helping hand. We are not here to grumble and com
plain hut to keep sweet and look pleasant. We are
not here to fail hut to succeed. In, fact, we art* here
£o be useful,happy and successful. And all the years
of our lives can be bright and thoroughly enjoyable
if we will but align ourselves with the laws of our
Creator and go forward.
O
It is a dangerous thing for people to have disre
spect for the law.

Did you ever notice how many reasons a boy has
for buying a puppy? A man has just a many rea
sons for goiag out at nights.
Geo. D. Rucker.
The editor of the News mourns with genuine sorrow
the passing of Geo. I). Rucker, the editor of the Al
pharetta Free Press. He died at his home in Al
pharetta last Sunday night. He was a big-hearted,
broad-minded man, and the newspaper fraternity of
the state loved him'. He was our friend and many
are the pleasant hours we spent together at our state
and district press meetings. Well might it be said
of aim.
“His life was gentle,
And the elements so mixed in him.
That nature might stand up
And say to all the world,
’This was a man.’ ”
O
Pay The Printer.
A printer’s devil was going through his first ex
perience in “making up forms,” says an exchange.
The paper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed.
The first part of the obituary notice of a pecunious
citizen had been dumped in the forms, and the next
handful of type came off-a galley describing a recent
fire. It read like this:
“The pall-bearers lowered the body to the grave and
as it was consigned to the flames there were few if
any regrets, for the old wreck had been an eyesore
to the town for years. Of course, there was individ
ual loss, but that was fully covered by insurance.”’
The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary
that way, because the lamented partner of her joys
and sorrows owed him a five-years’ subscription.
e O

The Savin# Habit.
Only one-tenth of our pimple have saving accounts.
Only live out of sixty-four have money of their own
saved to live on in independence. Of the three
millions widows in this country over sixty-five years
old, over one-third of them do without the ordinary
comforts of life. This is because people do not con
tract tlie saving habit. It is just as pleasant to save
money as it is to spend it when once you acquire the
habit. And it is far more comfortable. Get in the
habit of saving your ernings. You will rejoice in
-
your old age. ' ‘

Disagreeable Guest.
Some guests tire very unwelcome. The whole rou
tine of the home must he broken up on their account.
They tire never really for breakfast, nor lm\o they any
regard for the comfort or convenience of the hosts.
Such guests are kicking in culture and refinement.
Such guests are lackinging in culture and refinement
When we visit a home we shoulld never act in such
a way as to upset the regular order of that home. We
should adapt ourselves to its routine and always make
our visit as pleasant and agreeable to our hosts as
possible. It is the mark of good breeding to observe
the home life of our hosts and to fit ourselves thor
oughly into that life. If the routine of the home does
not suit you, cut your visit short and get away. Far
better to do this than to remain and become a disa
greeable gues^.

“Kind Words Can Never Die.”
On the first Brother McWhorter, of the Winder
‘ News, attended the Ninth District Convention up at
Clarkesville and had a big time. Then th> following
Tuesday the fiddlers’ convention convened in his town.
We have not yet heard, hut are pretty certain that
the News man was present patting his foot. There
is not a living man belonging to the quill driver’s
force that gets more real pleasure out of life than
the editor of the Winder News. And if we had our
way about it many, many summers would pass before
he would be summoned to cross over the river. I)ah
lonegn Nugget.
We appreciate the kind words of our Brother
Townsend. He is one of our good friends that we
have never seen, hut we feel like we have known
him for years. We read his paper regularly and we
know that be is one of nature’s noblemen. May
happiness and prosperity always be his lot.
