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 burning. O If men would control the greed and selfishness in them this would be a great old world in which to live, and we could lea\e it with tewet regrets. O A man may succeed by deceit and hvpocracy, but such men are worth little to humanity and not many persons mourn their depart ure when death claims them. O The man who is not just to his foes cannot expect them to he just, to him. Ex President Roosevelt was one of the few presidents who died •rich. It is unfortunate for many men in this old world that they possess 1 more ego than brain. O We all have so many faults of our own to correct, we have little spare time to correct those of others. O Time and tide wait for no man and he who wins in life's struggle must hustle and keep moving. Procrastination is the thief of time. O One of the greatest attributes in this life is to do your best to do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Are you trying 1o adopt this rule in your life? If not you are a miserable failure. i i Wheal, oats, rye, barley, corn, sorghum, peas, potatoes, clover, al falfa. bermuda grass, hogs and cattle! What a wonderful country to live in—cotton or no cotton. O The man who sows his wheat at the proper time is the one who reaps a good harvest, and not the man who continues putting it off until it is too late. (> 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 ’ Taking the cens is will begin early in Jannarv and ;♦ ~, !< * W j" de . r thaf 1,0 should he overlooked. \V e allVish < xpect a big increase over the census of 1910 THE BARROW TIMES WINDER, GEORGIA.

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. I wish to thank The Potts’ Car age, The Parker Furniture Cos., Woodruff Hardware Cos., Robin son Furniture Cos., Smith Hard ware Cos., Winder Oil Mill, lion. H. U. Hill, and all the individuals who so kindly helped me to make my part of the Fair a success. Respectfully, Rose Dillard, Cos. Home Dem. Agent. 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.

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. BACK FROM NATIONAL CON VENTICN. Rev. R. E.
