round clever slirdl etaoi etaoitao
Air. W. 11. Greeson, the philos
opher, statesman, farmer and all
round clever fellow from near the
boundry line of the Carter Hill
section and Winder militia dis
trict, was in the city this week
and made the Times office a pleas
ant visit.
AYe soon found out be did not
believe in establishing a city court
for Barrow county, and he in
formed us t his agitation in some
quarters did not meet the approv
al of the farmers with whom lie
had talked.
He said the farmers were tired
of new- offices being made to give
a few more men positions and tba
Barrow county did not need a city
court.
He said furthermore, that the
more courts we have the more lit
igation we have and the more trou
ble the farmers have. That the
fewer courts we have the better
off the people as a whole will be.
Mr. Greeson is unalterably op
posed to making another court
and no argument the advocates
put forth in it’s behalf is worth a
hill of beans, he says, to the men
who pay the taxes and bear the
burdens of frequent courts.
He says be will have more to
say on this line if it becomes nec
essary.

51.50 IN ADVANCE
“THE PRICE OF VICTORY"
M. G. MICHAEL, Zone Chairman.
Not a great while ago when the
clock struck eight at night every
light in Athens flashed out. For
the moment the entire city was in
darkness, total darkness; every
head was bowed; every thought
was heavenward bent; every indi
vidual stood upon the bridge
which spans the chasm ’twixt
time and eternity. It was the
Hour of Prayer, and all Athens
prayed.
They prayed for our boys who
were in danger, and they prayed
as they had never prayed before,
that these boys might be spared.
They prayed for the boys who
sleep eternally on shell-swept
fields that they might sleep in
peace and their souls be where
there is no war and no wounds.
They prayed that the war
would soon be over and a right
eous victory should bless the
world, and their prayers WERE
ANSWERED.
Prayer is the handmaid of re
ligion and there’s only one kind
of religion worth while, and
there’s only one kind of patriot
ism worthy of the name, and that
is the religion and the patriotism
that stands for service—service to
God and service to country go
hand in hand— the connecting
link between Heaven and Earth.
The four Liberty Loans, which
were necessary for preparation
for equippment, presented the
cost of war. Te fifth or Victory
Loan represents the cost of victo
ry.
The four loans, w hich were nec
essary to make the fifth a glorious
possibility, represented loans
made to our Government when
from the skies above there rained
shot and shell, and from the earth
beneath, there burned the pitiless
fires of hell, merciless demanding
their toll.
The four Liberty Loans repre
sented loans made to our Govern
ment when homes were saddened
and hearts were sickened. They
represented loans made when
Foch and Pershing, Haig and Pe
taiu stood with their backs to the
wall.
Now comes the fifth and the
realization of our prayers—the
cost of victory.
No danger now from lead
swept skies; no danger now from
murderous bombs in the ocean s
depth: r danger now in trench
or <•• i . a lie guns are silenced;
the dogs of war are chained.
Victory, an honorable victory,
sweeps sky and land. Victory,
an honorable victory is caught in
the ocean’s spray and bathes,
like glistening dew from heaven,
the shores of every land and
clime.
Yictory, a glorious victory, that
makes every star and every stripe
in America’s Old Glory anew
song anew inspiration, and anew
theme. FOR THAT FLAG HAS
DAREI) THE FIRES OF HELL
AND STANDS UNSCORGHED,
FOR THAT FLAG HAS RECEIV
ED HEAVEN’S BENEDICTION
AND STANDS GOD-BLESSED.
Now comes the call—it is vic
tory’s call—the price of peace—
with honor.
Our government is calling for a
loan to pay the price, and it is
your debt: it is my debt; it is the
debt of every man, and of every
woman, and of every child whose
hearts are attuned to the anthem,
“MY COUNTRY ’TIS OF THE.”
Will you lend your money as
freely and as unselfishly as you
did in time of war? YOU WILL
IF YOUR PRAYERS ARE SA
CRED. YOU WILL IF YOUR
PATRIOTISM IS SINCERE.
