gome people mistake doing nothing for contentment.
O
A gift is the most costly thing any one can receive.
O
The best way to solve a difficulty is to look It square
in the face and go forward.
Once we knew a fellow who bored us almost beyond
forbearance until we loaned him five dollars.
O
It's great to be honest, hut it. takes something be
sides honesty to get along In the world.
o-
Happiness always tiles out of the window when
money figures in a marriage ceremonj.
o~
You will never he happy thinking about getting it
from someone else; happiness comes in making others
happy.
O-
If the next legislature will do something about lim
iting the tux rate in tlm comities it will place the
public under lasting obligations to it.
O
We can’t understand why thousands of potato
plants are shipped into this section every year. Har
row county must get away from that practice.
O
Tin* Crawfordville Advocate-Democrat is right when
it says, “According to our way of thinking, it is much
better to help “mu" with the house cleaning and the
dish-washing than to break all the maratlum dancing
record so far established. ’
O-
Editor Shackelford, of the Oglethorpe Echo, thinks
the insane asylum at Milledgeville. is not large
enough. He says that there are a lot of crazy peo
ple loose in the state, if we should judge by their ue
t ions.
O
Is the good roads department of Georgia in the mire
of politics? If so, its a great misfortune. No rea
son why our Highway Board should become a politi
cal foot bull. If it is. and if it is not removed from
that realm, it will prove very detrimental if not imsi
tively destructive. —Commerce News.
O
John Shannon, over in Commerce, bought anew
suit of clothes, new shirt, collar and tie, and other
new things, put on a broad smile, had his picture made
and sent it to Rush Burton, over In Lnvonia. It looks
like John is aU>ut to get his picture in the papers.

Editor Morris, of Hartwell Is trying to be stylish.
Hear him: “Truthfully speaking, this might be term
ed the season of the year when everybody hires $3
worth of plowing done, buys $2 worth of sml, $4
worth of fertilizer, and breaks his back ruisiug a
garden for the edification of our neighbor's chickens
—and sometimes we actually save 75 cents j>er month
on our grocery hill. But you must garden if you
want to be stylish.”

Recommends Bond Issue
THE Good Roads Association, which met in Macon
last Monday reeoinmeniMl a $70,000,000 bond is
sue for highway improvement. The association will
work for its passage before the legislature this sum
mer. It is the opinion of the News that such a pro
cedure will be time wash'd. The legislature is too
wise to pass such a measure, and if they should do
so, it would be overwhelmingly defeated by the peo
ple. The tax payers of Georgia anei in no mood to vote
bonds for any purpose just now. We are perfectly
willing to put up with things as they are until we get
some of our debts paid. It is far better to go back
to old dirt roads of twenty years ago. and pay our
honest debts, than to ride over paved highways and
burden ourselves and our children with debts that
will paralyze our efforts and bring despair upon us.
Now is the time for our people to bend every effort
to getting out of debt rather than pluciug lffiuvier
burdens upon us.
The High School Graduates
THE high school graduate will soon be receiving his
or her diploma. It will be a great event in their
lives if they will make it so. If they are proud of
their records and the diploma spurs them on to great
er efforts it mean much to them. If they go to
college anil use wisely the time given them in those
Institutions for mental advancement, it will mean
success In life. Indifference and a lack of ambiton
on the part of our young people are keeping them
down at the bottom of the ladder of success.
Winder High School this year will graduate a fine
class of boys and girls. We hope they will catch the
right view of life h they go out from this institution
anil that they may win success along life's pathway.
O
A Fine Thought.
0 EPHRAIM, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah,
what shall I do unto thee? For your goodness is
as a morning cloud as the dew that goeth early away.
Therefore have 1 hewed by the prophets; I have slain
them by tin* words of mouth; and thy judgments are
as the light that goeth forth. For I desire goodness,
and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more
than burnt offerings. —Hos. 0:4-0.

Fifth District School Wins Honors
THE Fifth District A. & M. School, located near
Monroe, won honors at the District A. & M.
Schools at Athens the latter part of April. This
school won fifty points during the meet which entitled
her to receive the grand prize banner. In the literary
contests the Fifth won 24 points which topped the list
and gave her the literary banner. President Walker
and his associates, as well as the pupils are to be con
gratulated ujion this fine showing.
O
A Georgia Dairyman
THE NEWS Is a great believer in the value of the
cow to the Georgia farmer. She is one of his
greatest friends. The Augusta Chronicle tells the
following story of a South Georga dairyman which
we pass on to our readers. (
Mr. H. It. Finn is a farmer-dairyman living near
t’ordele, Ga. He lias 14 cows and ships the cream
from his dairy to the Conlcle creamery. His cash
receipts for cream in November was $201.30, for De
cember $268.85 and for January $284.00.
Mr. Finn paid out nothing for feed, as hef raises
till the feed on his own farm, he paid out nothing for
labor, milking the cows himself. In addition, he had
the skimmed milk from these 14 cows to feed his hogs
and chickens, and the (Vvtilizer to enrich his farm.
Mr. Finn’s place is 20-horse farm. On it in 1022 he
raised 103 bales of cotton and did not have to go in
debit one penny for the raising. The creamery checks
enabled him to pay cash for what he bought.
O
Longing for a Lover.
A CERTAIN hymn tells us that “the world is dying
for a little bit of love.” But have you ever
thought oven as people desire love, so do animals?
All animals—especially dogs—are longing for love ev
ery day of their lives.
You ran walk down the street and meet a lonesome,
ragged, disowned dog which, if you will snap your
linger at him and speak kindly to him, will prick
up His ears and wag his tail and follow you. Some
dogs endure so many kicks and cuffs and so much
starvaton that they eagerly grasp at an insignificant
kindness.
Animals love to be loved almost as well as a person
does.
Remember this and sec that all animals with whom
you come in contact get some sort of affection.
A college president once stated that one of the tests
of an educated person was to be aide to say that a
stray dog would follow him home. —It. S. West in
Dumb Animals.
O
The Value of Courtesy.
THERE is no doubt but that courtesy is one of the
most winning forces in business or in any of our
relations with our fellow men. This is because every
body likes to he treated courteously though some of
us may not Ik* courteous towards others.
Corporations as well as individuals are learning the
value of courtesy. Railroads are requiring their em
ployees to he courteous to the public. That old spirit
enunciated by one of the Vanderbilts, "The public be
damned.” is no longer tolerated among railroad offi
cials. That is because corporations, even, are learn
ing that there is money in being courteous. The
greatest diplomats in tIM world today are to be found
among the business men. The proprietor of a retail
store recently said that he took the position that liis
customer was always right when complaint was made,
and that it helped his business wonderfully to take
this attitude. While a few might impose on liim.
He kept most of liis customers and won others by his
liberal policy.
A man cannot l>e a salesman without courtesy.
Sometimes you will timl a salesman who will become
abrupt when he finds that he cannot make a sale. This
spirit will always lead to failure. In fact, such a
condition is the real test of courtesy. Real courtesy
will always show itself when no sale Is made.

“National Bank Notes
Our books show the names of DEPOSITORS from every district in the
county, and, in addition, quite a few from other sections of the state.
Like all banks, we occasionally lose a customer, but we never yet lost
one on account of uneasiness as to the safety of their deposit. And,
after all, SAFETY is the strongest asset any bank cun have.
When we borrow your money, either on checking account, savings
account or time deposit, we secure it xvith Government Bonds and a
Surplus Fund larger than our capital stock.
When we loan the money you leave with us, we loan it, not on over
drafts or unsecured speculative paper, but on well secured or highly
rated paper. Consequently, our losses, even during the period of re
adjustment, were practically nothing.
IN ADDITION TO STRENGTH, WE OFFER YOU SERVICE. 4 per
cent. payable semi-annually on savings accounts. Lock Boxes in a fire
and burglar proof vault at a nominal rent. Money to loan, always, on
approved paper.
Small accounts, as well as large ones, receive the same careful at
tentiou.
Come in and talk over with us any of your perplexing business prob
lems. If our advice, on financial matters, is worth anything to you,
it is yours for the asking.
