A great many people who think they are traveling
the “strait and narrow way” are very narrow-minded.
Correct this sentence: “All the subscribers to the
county paper pay up their subscriptions promptly.

In these days of strenuous financial conditions, your
creditors are apt to notice the new suit you have on.
O
When a woman laughs at the stale jokes of her
husband she either loves him or is tlshing for anew
hat.
O
The elections are over and they put a lot of folk to
working for a living who hud hoped to have a place
at the public trough.
O
They buried “Old Man Gloom” down in Morgan
county recently. Does this mean that the boll weevil
is a thing of the past?
O
Mrs. Florence M. Rucker has become editor of the
Alpharetta Free Press. She takes the place of her
lamented husband, the late Geo. I). Rucker, whom
everybody loved. We welcome this splendid woman
into the newspaper fraternity.
O
In the recent senatorial primary fewer votes were
cast than should have been cast in Fulton county
alone. Public opinion needs enlightenment, but it
also needs to be inspired with the will to act.
O
Your Town.
It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your town
If you want to live in the kind of u town
That’s the kind of a town you’d like.
You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You’ll lind elsewhere what you left behind,
For there’s nothing that’s really new—
It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town,
I
<
It isn’t your town, it’s you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
liest somebody else gets ahead;
Where everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise a town from the dead,
And if while you make your personal stake
Your neighbor can make one, too.
Your town will be what you want it to be;
It isn’t your town, it’s you!

O
The Thoughts of a Horse.
Ever since we were a plow boy on the farm, we
have often wondered what a horse thinks about. Some
one has discovered what it thinks about on Sunday.
Here it is;
The automobile puts me on the same basis with
the boss —one day off in seven.
I am glad I don’t have to pull the family up to
church any more and stand out in the cold and mud
for an hour or more listening to the music and ser
mon. It must sound better inside.
Last Sunday the auto wouldn't start, so the boss
fell back on me. It was a mighty disagreeable after
noon. The whole family was out of humor because
I couldn’t go thirty miles an hour and then the hair
from my back blew all over them. They didn't seem
to appreciate my efforts at all.
One thing about Sunday that I don’t like is I get
only two meals —one so late in the morning and the
other In the afternoon. I hope it will not be storm
ing next Sunday so I’ll bo put in the pasture. It gets
monotonous standing in the stall all day.
It amuses me to see the boss all dressed up on Sun
day. I’il hardly know him if it wasn’t for his voice
and even that fools me sometimes, lie doesn’t use
so many cuss words ns during the week. I have my
Sunday evenings to myself now, since young Oscar
has the auto.
Good Wages Calls For Good
Work.
THE man who demands good wages must be pre
pared to give good work. On no other basis can
he expect a permanent job at remunerative wages.
The relation of capital and labor must always be
based on the fundamental principle of good wages fur
good work and good work for good wages. The
good workman can always secure good wages. Poor
workmen are not entitled to good wages, and the
handing of themselves together to force their em
ployer to give them good wages will result in their
final hurt. We can't get around the law of compen
sation in this world.
O
Chrysantemums
The flower gardens of Winder are beautiful these
autumn days with the bright glowing chrysanthemums
that grow perfectly here under the skilled hands of
many of Winder's home-makers. It is a delight to
walk the streets and note the gorgeous sights that
greet us in many flower yards. In some yards roses
are in bloom, but the chrysanthemum hold the right of
way just now in flowerdom. Every home should have
some of these beautiful autumn flowers. They
give a tone of culture and refinement to the surround
ings.
O
We Will Always Work.
THOMAS EDISON thinks that the many electrical
inventions that are being made and that will be
made will enable the race to quit work and that ev
erybody will live in idleness. Many labor-saving de
vices have been invented in the past, yet, people are
working today as hard as ever in the history of the
world, and all the needed work is not being done.
We think that the time will never come in the his
tory of the race when there will not be plenty of
work for people to do. The great question that seems
to confront us now is getting folk to do the work
that ought to be done. Idleness is a curse to any
individual, male or female, and a benign Creator
has not planned a universe in which idleness can ever
lie forced.
O
Government Ownership
DR. FRANK CRANE, ill an editorial published in
the New York Globe, has the following to say
regarding government ownership and operation:
“In the mindo sf a great many people the idea still
lurks that some time the government will take over
the coal mines or the railroads or both and that some
how everything then will be merry as a marriage bell.
“The old belief in the government totem still lin
gers.
“The stubliorn and bony fact in the case, however,
is, as lias been stated, that government—any kind of
government—is impotent to do anything much besides
meddling and making trouble.
Government can pass tariff laws, inflict passports,
saddle bonus taxes upon us and create ship sub
sidies. In other words, it can tax, go in debt anil im
pede business.
When government takes over the railroads it will
lind that it faces precisely the same problems that
are now faced by railroad executives. It will not be
able to make men work if they don’t want to. Any
government that would compel a man to labor against
his will and would enforce this compulsion with a
gun would not Inst two weeks.
Neither will the government be able to make profits
in any other way than the present railroad mana
gers are making them, which is by giving service
to the people for which the people pay. All that will
happen to the industrial situation will be a change
of bosses. And that will be a change for the worse.
The reason of that is that the new bosses will be ap
pointed by somebody in Washington and there is no
body in Washington that has sense enough to run
a railroad. The people in Washington are elected,
and competent executives are never elected. They
are selected.
The present railroad executives did not get their jobs
by making speeches, hand-shaking anil kissing babies.
They got their jobs by hard work and making good.
And if any one of them censes to make good for a pe
riod of a month or so, lie is taken out.
In short, under government, railroads would he
run by politicians, anil it is as sure as gun’s iron that
they would he run into the ground.
The old laws of supply and demand, of make good
or get out, of produce and thrift, are the real laws
of this country anil every other country. They are
laws as hard as steel, as tough as truth, and as ev
erlasting as time.
“All man-made laws are more or less scraps of pa
per”

A good many years ago, when a boy was whipped at
school, he received another good licking when he got
home. Rut in these progressive days the father and
mother wipe his tears away and go straightway anil
wallop the teacher.—Greensboro Herald-Journal.

The Commerce News is bewailing the fact that just
as the winter rains set in the city council has bought
a street sprinkler for that town. He furthermore
says that inasmuch ns Commerce is a Baptist town
the purchase of a sprinkler may bring about some
complications.

WSj'X I Think ii
is Safa .I
Under the carpet, in the teapot, behind the clock —none of those
places are safe hiding spots for money, as is attested by news items
that one sees frequently in the daily papers.
Robbers and sneak thieves appear to know just where to look for the
family hoard that is hidden about the house instead of being deposited
in a bank, where it would be safe.
Besides, banks pay interest on time deposits. Put your money ac
work for you in our bank where it will be safe. ,
