COUNTY LINE.
Old Sager Writes of CHildhood Days
and Advises Young to Strive to
Own Home.
Those who own and cultivate the
small farms are like a city that is
set on a hill that cannot be hid.
In our childhood days we would
listen while the older ones would
relate war stories and prophesy that
ere long it would be necessary for
another one to come and kill out a
lot of us fellows to give homes to
' those that would be left. But God,
in His wisdom, after hearing the
cries of the millions of homeless
meft and women, has made it pos
sible, without the rattle of mu -
fketrv, for every man, who will try
at the right time, at the right place
and in the right way* to have a
place he can call his own. Though
a small log hut may be his shelter,
bread and water his food and drink
and he may be compelled to dress
like they did in the days of yore,
the-joy and satisfaction that comes
from a home like this will more
than compensate for all the hard
ships and trouble.
Just here our mind runs beck to
the little woman we otioe wooed and
won. Busy as a bee in the house
and in the field, all her spare time
was spent digging and planting her
yard in flowers, hut when the chilly
winds of'autumn began to blow,
and the landlord said, ‘‘You must
move and leave your flowers for an
other to enjoy,” that vein of en
ergy and pluck was clogged and the
voice that sang like the morning
lark had changed to melaneholly.
hack to the text. The small
farm is the ideal farm of today,
and as fast as time can move, all
the large farms will be cut up into
small ones. So God, without gun
or powder, has and will fix it so we
poor fellows can have a little place
we can call our own. Bob Ingersoll
never uttered a grander truth in his
life than when he said, ‘‘Those who
cultivate the soil should own it.”
It' should be the ambition of
every young man and woman to
have a home of their own. Your
parents may be too poor to leave
you a legacy. lake the one who is
penning these lines, when our old
aunt fixed her last will and testa
ment so that we would he compen
sated for administering to her ne
cessities, others, who gave not even
a cup of cool water, would rejoice
to see all that we have received
taken away from us. But, where
there is a will there is a way. Young
man, there is a home in the future
for you, if you will only hustle for
it. A man, generally speaking, is
worth what he wants and tries to
Iw. Of course, there are many
rough and rugged hills to climb.
You will meet with disappoint
ments of which you have never
dreamed. Some will push you up,
while many will pull you down.
But don’t .be discouraged. Many
have succeeded, and why not you?
Last, hut not least, we would say,
seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and all these things shall be added
unto you. Let Him who rules
above lead and guide you all the
way. There is no hand so safe to
lead as that which is divine; no
friend to you so dear as Him who
is so near; no tongue can speak so
v gentle, no words can give you cheer
like those that were spoke on Cal-
<a!)c iUinkr Mews.

Arthur, the little son of Mr. and
Mrs. Lon Elrod is no better at this
time.
The wife of Mr. Brock, who was
seriously ill Sunday, is some better.
Aunt Store} Pepper is in feeble
health at this time- Sager.
DEATH OF MRS. MARY THOMAS.
Mrs. Mary Thomas, an aged and
respected lady, died Sunday after
noon at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Thirza Odum, on Sage street.
Mrs. Thomas was the mother of
fourteen children, eight of whom
survive her. Those living are:
Messrs. J. N. Thomas, of Bethle
hem; W. H. Thomas, of Monroe;
E- Lloyd Thomas?, of Winder; Mrs.
D. H. C. Thompson, Mrs. J. H. G.
Perkins, Bethlehem; Mrs. J. A.
Smith, Crawford, Ga.; Mrs. W. P.
Odum, Covington, Ga.; and Mrs.
Thirza Odum, of this city.
Mrs. Thomas had been in feeble
health for many months, though
her death was unexpected, as she
seemed better for the past few
weeks and was in excellent spirits.
The funeral was preached Mon
day by Rev. W. T. Hunnicutt, of
the Methodist church, the denomi
nation of which the deceased had
been a member for more than fifty

NEW ENGLAND COMEDY DRAMA.
“Along the Kennebec,” a New
England comedy drama, now in its
third successful season, will be pro
duced at the Lyric Monday night,
January 17th. The play is mould
ed along the same idea as “The Old
Homestead,” “Shore Acres’’ and
“York State Folks,” and deals en
tirely with country life. Plays of
this nature are deservedly popular,
inasmueh as they are clean and
wholesome and leave a good taste
in the mouth. They usually illus
trate some good moral principle
without descending to the ofttimes
morbid sensationalism of the melo
drama or the soul-harrowing inci
dents of the problem play. “Along
the Kennebec” is said to have met
with great favor wherever produced,
and much interest will be taken in
the presentation of the play in this
city. All special scenery is carried
for the production.
FIRE AT HOSCHTON.
Sunday night fire destroyed the
large barn of Dr. L. C. Allen, of
jJoschton, Ga. Also twelve of the
best horses to he had, several head
of cattle, buggies, hacks and a large
lot of food stuffs. The total loss
will figure around $7,000. There
was no insurance and this loss falls
heavy on Dr. Alleh, and he has the
sympathy of a host of friends in
this misfortune.
Wait.
It is too early to ship hogs now.
Wait until danger of freezing
weather is over if you want your
hog to do well. We intend to
handle them and supply every want
in due time. What is the need of
shipping them here in midwinter,
when possibly half of them may
die? We want your patronage and
will treat you right-
