If you want to keep Barrow county on the map, if you desire to
see it one of the up-to-date and progressive counties of Georgia do
your part in Saturday’s election for bonds. Don’t stay at home and
make excuses for failing to do your duty.
If you are in favor of bonds and progress do not stay at home
Saturday, you will he helping to defeat what you claim to advocate.
A failure to vote for bonds hy staying away from the polls is a vote
against bonds andprogress. If you wish to benefit Barrow county go
out to your precinct Saturday and vote for bonds. This is too impor
tant a matter to forget, and too essential to the welfare of every citi
zen to neglect.

Rev. W. A. Wray, pastor of the Baptist church of Sandersville,
Ga., has inaugurated anew feature in his program of worship on Sun
day mornings. Last Sunday morning during the services he stopped
long enough to stand in the center of the church and shoot a jay bird/
that was flying around the building and assisting the audience in the
the singing. If he intends that his congregation should follow his ex
ample it will he in order for all the members every Sunday to carry
their shotguns and exhibit their marksmanship on the first bird join
ing in the music. If English sparrows are plentiful at Sandersville
it might be spiritually uplifting to his audience to dispense with 1 lie
sermon and devote the hour to shooting birds.
DEATH OF MRS. HOKE SMITH.
In the death of Mrs. Hoke Smith Georgia loses one of her pure
and gentle women whose beautiful life of devotion to home, her state
and her church is an example for the girls and young married women
of the present age that would make the world much better if emulated
The best that is in us. the gentler and higher instincts which carry
our minds and hearts back to the bright period which links all of the
happy and glorious traditions of the south to the present age of com
mercialism which has left only a dream of those days of chivalry and
tho-eharni of a womanhood entirely characteristic of those halcion
years—the brightest and best in the world s history.. W e instinctive

Henry Lumpkin, two of the families of our state that have done so
much'in making Georgia history and whose names will live in the ages
Mre!*Smith’ life was a life worth living, the only kind of life
that preserves real womanhood, enriches civilization and strengthens

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES
When the editors go to Monroe
they are going to get one of those
welcomes that makes everybody
glad they are Georgians.—Savan
nah Press.
R. V. (“Hob’’) Johnson, of
Walton county, is a diamond in
the rough, lie captured our peo
ple hv his quaint sayings and
funny .jokes at the Board of
Trade banquet.—Madisonian.
The Georgia press boys are get
ting “tuned up” for the annual
meeting, which is to be held in
Monroe in July. Our guess is that
Monroe will give ’em tli'e time of
their lives.—Gainesville News.
Editor Ernest Gamp, of the
Walton Tribune, asserts that the
Monroe girls are pretty by the
square foot. Editor John Shannon,
of the Commerce News, insists
that the Commerce girls are
pretty by the square inch. Coving
ton girls are pretty any way you
take them.—Covington News.
Editor Camp, of the Walton
Tribune, says Monroe has all
soils of chickens.—< ’onyers Times.
We can easily foresee the big
gest gathering of Georgia editors
in Monroe that the state has ever
seen —Marietta Journal.
Editor Jack Patterson has
greatly improved the Covington
News, and the merchants of that
town should show their apprecia
tion by acording him a more lib
eral advertising patronage. Cov
ington has a fine set of business
men but apparently most of them
are hiding their lights under a
bushel. Be liberal with your news
your sake and its sake and the
paper, Mr. Merchant, not only for
town’s sake, but for the sake of
the outside world which largely
gauges your standing and activi
ties by the showing you make in
its columns. —Walton Tribune.
Its the sweet girl graduate. The
boys are not in it. Graduating
classes are composed of girls these
days. If there were any boys in
the class, Ihey couldn’t be called
sweet. Not by a jug full.—The
Commerce News.
Now and then, editor Rucker
takes a whack at coco cola. Live
right George; when you get to
heaven, there’ll he no coco cola
there. And if per chance you go
down yonder you’ll not encounter
the drink there. —The Commerce
News.
WE LL LEAVE IT TO THE
PRESIDENT.
Just as we started to write our
opinion about light wines and
beer, a good preacher friend walk
ed in the door, so we will pass it
up to Ernest Camp or Johnny
Spencer.—LaUrange Reporter.

TO THE VOTERS OF BARROW
COUNTY.
The information has reached me
that a member of people in the
< 'ounty have expressed the idea
that it would be much better to
continue the lease of the present
Coprt House at SIOOO per year
than to build anew Court House.
That no one may be mislead in
voting next Saturday upon tlie is
suance of bonds for the Court
House, I want to advise that the
(’ounty cannot re-lease the pres
ent building for anything like
SIOOO per year after the lease ex
pires in January 1921.
1 have never considered that the
Sharpton estate has received a
reasonable rental from this build
ing and i could not afford to agree
to a continuance of the present
lease.

Wisdom consists Dot in an abun

sane use of what little common sense
we are fortunate enough to possess.
Make Labels Stay On.
To fasten the name labels on cans
and bottles containing foodstuffs, use a
piece of adhesive plaster. This will
stick to any surface and the annoy
