SUCH IS LIFE
“Accumulating wealth is pleasant, ’
says one of America’s richest men.
So everybody else thought!
He continued:
“But accumulating of wealth is a
bothersome worry.”
“Many cries of ‘I should worry if 1
had a million or two!’
“Tlve possession of wealth usually
comes to a man when he is too old to
enjoy the things he wanted in liis
younger days,” observed the multi mil
lionaire.
"I would give all my millions for a
few of the days I enjoyed when, strug
gling toward the goal I made a bit
of headway. It was the climbing that
gave me happiness. Then 1 thought
of a million things that 1 could and >
with a million dollars, and now 1 don't
want to do a one of them.
Pitiful, isn’t it?
Doesn’t your heart overflow with
sympathy for the man?
But don’t waste all your sympathy
upon hm for here’s another guy in
woeful need of it.
“The happier man,” asserts the
wealthy son of a w T ealthy farmer, “is
the young man who has to start at the
bottom ring and carve liis own for
tune.
This complaining citizen was one < f
those unfortunate critters born with
the proverbial silver spoon in his
mouth.
“The happiest days of my life,” he
added, “was when I ran away from
my tutor and hoed w *eds for our gar
dener. ild paid me ten cents fo
about three hours’ toil, and b ‘li ve
me, that dime looked bigger and lat
ter than tin- million- dollar dice d-d
gave me on my twenty first bin!'day.
So there you are! One millionaire
is peeved because jio got his millions,
too late in life, and the oth r is sore
because he got his too early.
DEATH-DEALING MOTOR CARS
The roaming, homeless dog is almost
a thing of the past as a result of the
automobile, says the Red Ranger. Had
you thought of that? No" only does
this death trap kill thousands of h -
man beings each year, but in the hands
of dog haters the automobile kills
thousands upon thousands of dogs an
nually, many of them very valuable.
In our vicinity, upward of a dozen
dogs have been run down and killed
or injured during the past twelve
months, and we believe that the same
condition exists throughout the coun
try.
If the present rate of destruction
is kept up, there is going to he a near
extinction of the dog family one of
these days, and then perhaps our w! ?
birds do what Pennsylvania finally did
about the hoot-owl.
If It Is a Bilious Attack.
Take three of Chamberyain’S Tab
lets and a quick recovery is certain.

THE WINDER NEWS
SERVANT WORTHY OF HIS HIKE
• _ v
Mayor H. A. Patrick, of Conyers,
has tendered his resignation, giving
as his reasons the fact that his private
interest demanded his time. How on
earth can any man he expected to work
for a city or town without adequate
compensation ? —Madisonian.
The trouble of nearly all small towns
today is just this: A man is elected
as general manager of fne largest busi
ness in the town (that of ruining tno
town itself) and is expected to do the
work for nothing. To conduct tlve af
fairs of any little city of four or five
thousand people in the way they should
be conducted will require in a year’s
time two or three thousand dollars'
worth of the time of any man who is
competent to perform the duties at
all; and the people of the town expect
this man to donate seven-eights of that
tune to them.
Seldom do they find a man who is
willing to saeritice so much for his
town, no matter how much he loves
it: he lias his personal business h>
attend to, and naturally, that personal
I usiness gets first attention.
These small municipalities are penny
wise and pound foolish, as we see it.
If they would elect mayors and pay
them salaries that would warrant them
devoting all their time to the office,
there is no doubt the town adopting
such a plan would save more in actual
dollars, to say nothing of efficient ser
vice from every department of the city,
than the towns that run under the
plan generally used in the little Georgia
cities today. A “live-wire” city inaua-

THINK IN TIME
A word of caution to the wisest is
not-amiss at times.
The season is approaching when all
people will lie making their Christmas
purchases.
Tiie fact that money has been plenti
ful for the past few years lias not re
moved the element of caution from
our home people, and neither has it
blunted their desire for money.
Caution dictates that we buy from a
house that is known for its honesty and
its willingness to guarantee tlfe quality
of its goods.
Economy requires that quality be
proportionate to price.
The home dealer is known to you.
He can not afford to sell you a shoddy
or inferior article because it would
come back to him. He can not afford
to gouge you becaue it would put him
out of business. .
Both his (honor and his business
compel him to give you a square deal.
Think this over before the rush is
on.
People who think twice before they
buy once seldom make a mistake.
gar—for that is what .every mayor
should be—would inject into every part
of the city’s business much of his own
“pep” and enthusiam. with its resul

people.
Anyway, a servant is worthy of his
hire, and people can’t expect any man
to gve them the best in Him. when they
give him nothing in return.—The Wash
