VOL. XVII. 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.

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.
