We wonder how they do it? o 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. O 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! —ANONYMOUS. 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” O 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. O 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.

Mill 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.

Besides, banks pay interest on time deposits. Put your money ac work for you in our bank where it will be safe. , Member Federal Reserve System. NORTH GEORGIA TRUST & BANKING CO.
