you kicked so hard about the hot weather the past

An Atlanta man wants a divorce from his wife be

Editor Winchester, of the McDonough Advertiser,

He passed us in his high-powered car filling out
eyes and nose with his abominable dust. About a

The safest citizens in any county are those who

That was indeed a fine paper that the Athens Daily
News got out on its first birthday. We congratulate
those who are behind the paper on their grit and en
terprise.

Our impression lias been all along that Mrs. Felton
Georgia’s Senator, was a republican. It was alright
to give the appointment to a Georgia woman, but she
ought to have been the representative of the democ
racy of the state.
;—o
Somebody had the gall to ask President Harding
to call an extra session of the United States senate
one day in order that Mrs. Felton might qualify and
sit in the senate for the day. The president promptly
turned down the request.
o-
The Savannah papers are continually talking about
South Georgia not being recognized in the political
affairs of the state, but in the recent senatorial race,
with Judge George, a South Georgian, and the best
man in the race, Chatham county went for Hardwick
by r good majority.
O
Thomas W. Hardwick has decided to estublisn a
weekly newspaper in Georgia. Don't do it, Mr. Hard
wick. Just because Tom Watson succeeded in hold
ing his following through a newspaper, all men can’t
do it. It’s none of our business, but if we were you
we would get down to practicing our profession and
eschew polities the balance of our life.
O
One day an Atlanta paper presented Mrs. Deßouch
ell's picture front foremost. The next day the same
paper inserted another picture showing her back.
Next we may look for her foot and following all the
rest of the scenery that is to be seen. Put the whole
thing in. The average reader wants the whole beg.—

O
Reported successes of farmers in this section of
Georgia in growing cotton with the use of calcium
arsenate ought to be enough to encourage the farmers,
who haven’t tried it. to try tills remedy out next
year. Home weeks ago we mentioned a Berrien
county farmer who made twenty bales of cotton
on twenty-eight acres. Another lias made forty on
seventy-five acres. A north Georgia farmer made
600 bales on 750 acres, and a well-known fertilizer
campany made 600 bales on 800 acres. Those people
were enabled to make these fine yields by the proper
use of the arsenate, and it should encourage others to
try it out. —Nashville Herald.
“Keeping Up With the Joneses.”
ONE thing that affects the happiness and prosperity
of many of us to a large extent is the disposition
to keep pace with those 'that are wealthier than we.
In school, the young student sees the rich hoy or
girl throw money around and they think they must
do likewise. In our communities, we buy automo
biles that we nre not aide to own und keep up be
cause our wealthier neighbors have them.
Families that are struggling to live, spend money
on entertainments because they want to keep pace
with others that, are perhaps able to give these en
tertainments. This never brings happiness. It leads
to financial embarrassment, and to all honorable peo
ple it is humiliating not to be able to meet your ob
ligations.
Besides, it shows n spirit of servitude that is dis
gusting. It shows that we haven’t the courage to
live out own lives in our way but that we are letting
somebody else dictate ns to the way we ought to live.
This destroys character and will always end in un
happiness. Even those -you are trying to ape despise
you deep down in their hearts.
Of one thing you can rest assured, when two or
more people with similar tastes get together, they
don’t have to sling around the cash to enjoy one
another.
O
Today’s Best Receipt.
Take one reckless, natural born fool.
Two or three drinks of bad liquor.
A fast, high-powered motor car.
.Soak the fool in the liquor, place in the car and let
him go. AftCT due time remove from wreckage, place
in black safin lined box and garnish with flowers.—
Walton News.
O
Today.
THE best time that hits ever come into your life Js
today. Use it thoroughly, make it what it renlly
is. the Dost day that you have ever seen. Some people
look back on yesterdays and some look forward to
tomorrows as their best days. Such is not true. The
best time in all our lives is the present. It only is
ours. Since time began today is the best friend of
man. In our weakness and blindness we fail to
grasp this great truth. And hence we miss much of
the successes and joys of life. Today is always the
best day for doing good, for working hard, for being
happy. Don’t miss the opportunity. It will never
come again.

The Old Cow Chews Her Cud.
Bullock county had a wet May. Corn turned yel

No I mean limits, but —

Bullock county had a dry July, and a drier Au

but —

September came with some corn and some cotton,
hut not enough to prevent grumbling and dissntisfac

Cotton went up to double that of a year ago, aud
that helped some, but there wasn’t much of it, still —

The boll weevil got the top crop and half k>f the low

And finally, —
In order to put the chewer in the pasture, let me
inform you that, the local creamery churns a hundred

churning yet since they started —•

O
Sherlock Holmes on Suicide.
Silt Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes,
delivered a lecture recently on the question of
suicide that is very interesting. Whether his deduc
tions are right or wrong they are worth considering
and they make good reading. Sir Conan Doyle be
lives “that a suicide’s spirit when It leaves the body
carries with in all the suffering that led to the self
taking of life. That there is no running awuy from
ones self, not even in the,hereafter.”
. Ho says, this position is sound philosophy, sound
morality, and is borne out by all human experience.
Continuing the noted writer says, “Oue never settles
a problem of any moment by evading it. Met, It
must be. If not today, tomorrow; if not here, here
after. The only sensible way is to try to meet it
aright. No suicide (by which is meant, not the pa
thetic act of n deranged mind, hut. voluntary self
slaughter) never destroys that from which he really
seeks escape. He destroys bodily functions, but not
memory, nor perception in its inner and true quality,
nor conscience, nor anything that ultimately counts
Ho would as well imagine that by throwing his
clothes into the river he would get quit of himself and
the universe. Our deeds not only live after us, they
also live with us in an indestructible consciousness
that is no more dependent upon a body than electricity
is dependent upon a bulb.”

Look Forward-Yesterday Is Dead!
If all the sobs and sighs and tears
Of all the dead and vanished years
Were brought together in one single spot,
Their energy combined could not
Restore one single shattered dream,
Rejuvenate a fruitless schema,
Repair one broken pledge or heart,
Or render straight a crooked start.
-,V
So why waste time In vain regret?
( i . Todaty is here and must be met;
Start out anew, forget the past,
Great fortunes can still be amassed,
Great reputations still be attained,
And posts of honor yet be gained.
Look forward, yesterday is dead,
The land of promise lies ahead.
—Herbert Kauffman.

The above words, written by Kauffman, are true—every word
of them —and should be an inspiration to every one. The sentiment
expressed is so beautiful and inspiring that we want to pass them
on to our friends that they may take courage from them.
If we have made blunders in the past, if we have failed to get
ahead so far as this world's goods are concerned, do not brood over
the past, or lost opportunities, but rather profit by them. Let us help
you in your finances. You will always find us courteous, giving close
attention to the minutest detail, whether your account be large or small.
