When the American soldiers get back from France there is going to be a. lot of hand-holdings, and love-whisperings among the young folks. According to the Atlanta Con stitution the Commonwealth of Georgia has failed to have ex pended upon its highways hhun dreds of thousands of perfectly good dollars that would have made smooth many rough places. The Firer had the privilege of spending an hour with Judge A. J. Cobh of Athens last Friday. lie is a courtly representative of the Old South. A Christian gentle man, an able jurist, a genuine Christian, a popular judge and one of the few mistakes he, ever made was in not allowing the people of Georgia to send him to the F. S. Senate awhile ago. when they were so anxious to do so. If half that is told concerning the activities cf the Turks in Armenia be true, the Devil will have to grow more versatile, or vacate his job in the lower country, when these inhuman monsters arrive. When an American citizen steps on a wad of chewing gum used by someone during a theatrical per formance. and lightly thrown away, he wishes that the price thereof had been given to the fund to help suf fers in the Far East. Should the girls who twist ele phant ears out of their hair ami try to envelope their faces and ears know what people thought of them they would dress their hair more like their mothers did. The Lord have mercy on the school children of tomorrow who have to master the history of the recent great war. The names of Russian towns and generals will alone be discouraging to the Nth power. ■ ; Thirty-eight legislatures have voted that John Barley Com is dead. If that many legislators are against it sure enough, then things are getting precarious for the liquor interests. "When a man's wife cooks an ex traodinarily good dinner, or dress es up and meets him of evenings, will in any event have their effect its a pretty sure sign that she ex pects him to buy a dress at the silk sale, or that it is time for a new spring hat. If doing finance would get folks into heaven, the neighbors who listen to three girls in one family practice on the piano, would get thru in ship shape. They tell us that after the war will be anew world. But we still have to get up at 6 :30 and work like we always did, getting tired in the same old way. The postman would like to know why his patrons always ask as he finishes handing out their mail — “Is that all?” The fellow in a mud-hole with a seven passenger car feels like tell- Kiss the dear old mother now and ing the guy who comes up and asks how he got in, to go where Herb Hoover told Von Laucken to go. All the friends Kaiser Bill has in America now seem to live in Slum Alley in the City of Leavenworth. The Bolshevik claim that all the debts should be cancelled sounds mighty good the first five days of each month, even to Non-Bolshe vists. We use English over here, but if Byron and Moore were to hear two college boys conversing about a ball game they would find a tough job of understanding them.

Dear Mother and Father: * This will let you know I am o. k. and hope the same for you all. I get out of heart writing as I can't hear from any of you. 1 guess you are preparing for a big Christmas. Well, 1 am enjoying life for the war is over and am coming back to old Georgia some day; won't it be fine? Well, I was on the Verdun front and under shell fire about 25 days. I guess things are on a boom in the states since the war is over. Am having big time picking cooties and we sure have some fun catching them. December 13 —I will answer your letters just received today for I was so glad to hear from you as had begun to think you had forgotten ifie. I had to read them before eating supper. I atu now back in the center of France in a little town. Mother, you ask when I am com ing back. Don’t know when it will be but hope it will be soon. Tell my friends 1 enjoyed them writing me if 1 did not get their letters. How I would enjoy being with you all Christmas, but can only hope you will think of me during the holidays. Mother, it rains every day and on Sunday for a rarity. I will close, hoping to hear from you all again right soon. Goodbye until we meet again. From Your loving son, HARVEY H. CLARK. Cos. Il„ 140 Infantry. LETTER TO MRS. ARCH PERRY FROM FRANCE Dec. 1, 1918. Mrs. Arch Perry: Dear Aunt and Uncle: 1 will try and write at last. Would have done so earlier but just did not have the opportunity. This leaves me doing very well. Have been in hospital for several days but nothing serious. I sailed for France on the 14th of June and have been in action most all the time and have seen most of France. I was in the Al sace sector near the Swiss border for three months and the last place in action was near Verdun, east of the Meuse river, where I was in the trenches for twenty days. We were almost worn out and did not get any sleep hardly at all. We were on our way to the trench es after a short rest the morning the armistice was signed. You can imagine how glad we were. I have had some great experiences that I hope I may never have to undergo again. I have gotten through it so far without being injured. Aunt Alice, I haven’t heard from any of my people in some time. I guess you are very busy preparing for Christmas. I have thought many times of the holi days spent in your home and en joyed so much my stay with you all. It will be quiet in France, but we are now most interested in getting home. Hoping to hear from you all again and to see you in the near future, I am, Affectionately, your nephew, FELIX E. PERRY.

Give us a trial. ••f - x V ’ I I am also in the market for 1,000 bushels of good ear corn. G. W. SUMMERGUR. Pigs and Shoats Between the 20th and 25th, we will have another load of choice Tennessee Pigs and Shoats. We had fully decided some time ago to handle but one load tms season, but so many have beeri here insisting that we get one more load we have changed our minds and will handle only one more load this season. These shoats all have to be in oculated, which adds a little more expense, but the risk is no more than on native stock. Don’t depend on us for boxes, for we haven’t so much as a weighing box. Will have just a few fat hogs. W. H. & J. F. SHE ATS WINDER, GEORGIA REST FOR THE IIOME KEEPEK. In tliesestrenuous days many a woman insist s that she has“no time to rest,” and, indeed, it seems at first that the state ment is literally true. There is never a time in a busy house hold where there is not some thing—usually something im portant—for the busy home keeper to take up the instane she finishes the task in hand. It reminds one of the direction Bridget gave to Pat, during a houseeleaning upheaval: “Pat, while you’re restin’ you might be ser u hbin’ down the back stops!” Tho 3 e who have tried it, how ever, know that even a brie/ rest, a few moments of relaxa tion, sends one back to work, not only refreshed in mind and body, but with the capacity for swift and sun* work increased. To use the maxim that has com forted many a worried shopper who lia s bought more expensive linens or kitchen utensil or rugs than she intended to, “it pays in the long run” to re cruit your strength bv short rests at frequent intervals, rather than by an enforced rest of great duration. Anew England woman, whose sum total of work ac complished was a wonder to her neighbors, and who was neat and smiling when her husband returned in the evening, al ways pleasant and cheerful when the children came home from school, admitted once that it resulted largely —both work and pleasantness — from rests by the way, says the Journal and Messenger. “As soon as the children have started for school,” she told her inquiring friend, “1 set to worn I have planned out everything and have my arrangements of work down to u science. But if in the middle of the morning a peculiar tiredness, which I can tell from laziness, creepsov er me, I yield to it at once. I drop right down into an easy chair and pick up the paper or a magazine. "Many of my good friends would he rather shocked to sins me reading, with dishes stand ing, not yet dried, or, if dry, not put away, beds u nmade, parlor unswept, even washing half done. But that rest means a great deal to me. After from fifteen or twenty minutes of it I can go cheerily on with my work. Many a breakdown could be avoided if women knew the value of short rest between times. “I remember,” she went on meditatively, “that when my el dest child came, my husband and I were very poor. My good doctor knew it would be useless to advise me to get help, either with the housework or with the care of jthe baby. But he told me what I could do. “ ‘When the baby sl<H*ps,’ he said, ‘take a little rest. Lie down a few minutes a day. If the work gets behind —well, tluit’s a pity, but less a pity than if you break down your self. “I took bis advice and the lit tle rests by the way. And £ think all busy, tired mothers will do well to take* both too.” — New York Advocate. Take the Short Route. When you talk, observes-an educa tor, whether In conversation or In meeting, use short words, of which there are more than there are of long ones, and take the most direct road to vour meaning. Your meaning’s th* bakie.
