The man who saxes his money from his cotton crop this year, in
stead of spending it for things he can do without, will be following
the example of the wise virgins who kept their lamps trimmed and

If men would control the greed and selfishness in them this would

A man may succeed by deceit and hvpocracy, but such men are

It is unfortunate for many men in this old world that they possess

We all have so many faults of our own to correct, we have little

Time and tide wait for no man and he who wins in life's struggle

One of the greatest attributes in this life is to do your best to do

KNOW YOUR-OWN-STATE.
The state Normal College at Athens has established a chair devot
ed to rural education, which will feature a study of Georgia—its geo
graphy, climate, soil, area, population, commerce, industry, mineral
resources, educational facilities, live stock, water power, public
health, churches and community interests. The course will cover a
period of three years. It is gratifying that a large percentage of the
students are availing themselves of this opportunity to familiarize
themselves with their own state. Reports from Athens indicate that
no feature of the work of the State Normal College is attracting more
attention.
The average Georgian lias no conception of his state. The study of
Georgia in the public schools and colleges has never received the at
tention it deserves. To he sure, the pupil learns that it was named in
honor of <feorge 11. is one of tlit* original thirteen States, was origi
nally a part of the domain of the Cherokee and ( reck Indians and
was settled by General Janies Oglethorpe, who landed on the site of
Savannah, February 13, 1733.
The pupil learns, also, that it is the largest state in area east of the
Mississippi river, that its capital is located at Atlanta, that it has a
fine seaboard and two magnificent harbors fn Savannah and Bruns
wick and that it is devoted largely to agriculture, cotton being its
chief product. Time was, before the legislature began the reekless
creation of new counties, that the school books contained information
as to the number of counties, hut it is to he doubted today whether
any three persons will agree, first hapd. as to the number of counties
in Georgia Accurate information on this score is held only by the Se
cretary of State and the politicians whose business it is to know.
In the public schools of the cities, the histories and geographies
that are taught contain relatively little information about Georgia.
Indeed, in the Atlanta public schools there is taught an elementary
Geography which contains a map of the Southern states that names
Philadelphia as the principal city shown on the map.
The history of Georgia is intensely interesting, and every school
and college in the State should make the study on it a part of the reg
ular curriculum. But the study of Georgia should not stop with its
history. The schools and colleges should follow the example of the
State Normal College and see that every pupil acquires a thorough
knowledge of the geography, topography, mineral, agricultural, com
mercial and industrial resources of their own state.
The above editorial from the Atlanta Journal is worthy of reading
by all of our subscribers.
The older people know very little about their own state and the
boys and girls growing up will know less because thev are being
taught so little about it.
HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR IT?
Waiting for a train in a railroad station a short while ago in a
southern city for an hour or more, we became very much interested
in faces, forms and physique of the hundreds of men coming in and
going out from the station during that time.
Haying nothing to do but wait for an outgoing train, we began
studying these different laces and make-up and were amused to find
so many men nearly alike in appearance and carnage to men whom
we knew.
The first man who impressed us was almost a facsimile in figure
features and general appearance to a prominent attorney and jurist
we had known for years.
He walked like him. had the same jestures in conversation and
would have passed for his twin brother, though living in a different
state and unknown to each other.
, Tl,e . n ea,l \ e i another man who was almost a perfect pattern of a
Georgia politician and office holder, and strange to say. his every
movement was the same as the Georgia politician, lie walked like
urn acted like him, had the same shaped head and shoulders, and
would have been taken for him by a casual acquaintance.
The next one attracting our attention was the exact counterpart of
a prominent business man in Georgia.
We became intensely interested and had found six men nearly
duplicates of men we knew intimately, and would have found more
perahps, had the time not arrived for the departure of our train
The peculiar fact which impressed us was that when we found a
an of the same physique and appearance generally to the one we
l,e walked like him. had the same movement;, the same poi
etc. How do you account for it? 1 ’

All those who saw the Canning
<’lub (.'iris’ exhibit I am sure will
agree with me that it was quite
pretty and showed faithful and
efficient work on the part of the
gills. Is Canning (flub work worth
the time and energy spent on it?
Ask any of these girls who have
been faithful to their work dur
ing the summer. The judges said
that the Barrow County Canning
Club girls had the best History
Booklets they had ever seen.
The Home Improvement Club at
Cedar Hill played an important
part in the success of the Fair.
Their float—a modern kitchen in
white—won second prize. This
club had a pretty display of pre
paired foods on exhibit. The best
individual display from the club
members was an invalid’s tray
prepared by Miss Effie Parker.
The tray was not only appetizing
and nourishing, but was a per
fectly balanced tneal carried out
in yellow and white. Another in
teresting display was a loaf of
bread made by Mrs. Julia Parker
who is 7b years old. Thh club con
siders Mrs. Parker one of its very
best members, whose faithfulness
and good cheer is an inspiration
to us all.
In addition to those displays
the Cedar Hill club furnished a
canned fruit exhibit which took a
prize.
Another feature of the County
Home Demonstration work at the
Fair was a display of food charts
made by the girls in the Domestic
Science Class at Bethlehem. These
were a credit to the girls and add
ed much to the attractiveness of
our booth. This Domestic Science
class carried off first prize on all
the floats. This prize money will
he used to buy equipment for the
laboratory.
1 lie North Georgia Fair Asso
ciation furnished all the lovely
prizes given in club work this
year. To this organization is due
the credit of establishing and sus
taining the Home Demonstration
work in the county.

MARIE MORRISEY. CONTRAL
TO, TO SING IN WINDER FRI
DAY, NOV.7TH.
Announcement is made to Bar
row tVranty music lovers that Miss
Marie Morrisey will give a con
cert in Winder Friday night, Nov.
7tb. at the High School Auditor
i un
Marie Morrisey is one <>f our
real American singers. Her family
has ’neon in this country as long as
anybody else’s! And she has had
a strictly American education.
■She i< a pupil of Dudley Buck un
der whom she studied for four
veals. She proves in convincing
fashion that a singer can reach a
high degree of development un
der American tutelage.
Miss Morrisey has made a spec-
of songs sung in England.
And T’tai meant studying diction
wi.h special care, for one of the
reasons English is not so melodi
ous as some other languages, in
Miss Morrisey’s opinion, is be
cause we are careless in our speech
Mr. Dudley Buck did more than
teach Miss Morrisey how to use
her voice correctly. He also taught
her to treat her own language
“respectfully,” as she herself puts
it.
“The English language may
not be so soft and melodious as
M>me other languages,” declares
Miss Morrisev, “hut it suits me”
—and she says this with the pride
befitting a true Daughter of the
American Revolution, which she
is.
Residents of Barrow County will
agree with Miss Morrisev when
they hear her sing some of the
American songs. She is particul
. . .
arly enthusiastic about songs by
American composers, and no re
cital of hers is complete without
some of them.
Next week’s concert promises
to be a splendid addition to the
“LION BRAND”

Kilgore-Kelly
Company
“The Home of Quality"
list of treats the music “fans” of
Barrow County have enjoyed in
the past. Miss Morrisey’s voice is
finer than ever, —a rich, sweet
contralto. And the long and ardu
ous training it has received in the
concerts Miss Morrisey has given
to the soldiers in hospitals and
camps, has added anew power to
her voice.
The concert will be an invita
tion affair, but musically inclined
Barrow County is sure to be fully
represented.

INTRODUCING MR. AND MRS.
JACOBS TO THEIR NEW
NEIGHBORS.
“Just as we got our Junior Un
ion reorganized and going under
the able leadership of Miss Pearl
Mayfield, after the Juniors had
been on a vacation (?) for about
a year. Miss Mayfield up and got
married and is now “at home” at
Winder, Ga., as Mrs. M. D. Jacob*.
We think when our best workers
want to get married they ought to
patronize home industries and get
the “made in Atlanta” article.
Inasmuch as two of our young
lady members who have just re
cently passed t heir twenty-first
birthdays, and therefore getting
anxious, have offered the pastor a
bonus for getting them up a man
we look for further depletion of
the front line. Miss Ruby Hill now
leads the Juniors and they contin
ue to do splendid work.”
Mr. Jacobs has recently become
a citizen of Winder and the above
clipping will be-interesting news
and introduce him and Mrs. Ja
cobs to our people. This family is.
a valuable addition to our city.
Mrs. Jacobs comes from Kirk
wood and Mr. Jacobs from Gray
son.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kilpatrick
of Atlanta, spent the week-end
here with Mr. R. L. Carithers and
Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Flanigan.
