Telephone No. 166. Communications are welcomed. Cor respondents will please confine them selves to MO words, as communications over that length cannot be handled.

Kaiser Bill is likely to sink one ship too many one of these days. The revivalists are shaking up Atlanta. That place needs sha king as much as any we know of. What if Editor Anderson’s pig should turn out to be a typical South Georgia razor-back after all this publicity? It is all right to hope for con tinued peace but the way things are going now Uncle Sam had better his powder dry. Beware of the fakirs. They are operating in several sections now, according to reports. Buy at home and then you wont get stung. Savannah is after cheaper gas. If she could confine some of the gas being wasted on that new judgeship the product ought to be cheap enough. Bv the by. it is nearly time for Editor Blood worth, of Forsyth, to begin writing about the sweet girl graduates, with special ref erence to the Bessie Tift girls. According to the United States department of agriculture Geor gia spends $26,075,000 annually for wheat, oats, corn and hay. That is a lot of money and ought to be kept at home. By the way, when you feel like knocking your home paper, pay up vour subscription and see if you don't feel better.—Griffin News. It is the man who owes you that does most of the knocking, as a rule. Says The Tallapoosa Journal: It is peculiar that a man who owns a bunch of cattle or hogs will go out to look at them every few days, but not once during the year will you catch him at the school house where his chil dren are being educated. Yet we can’t keep from won dering what effect a few regi ments of Georgia crackers, Texas rangers, with a liberal sprinking of Irishmen, under a leader like Gordon or Jackson, would have on the foreign fracas. They would be heard from, at least. Of the eight thousand ways to kiss a pretty girl we’ve never seen the good old fashioned way equalled.—Griffin News. Do pass on your recipe to Ed itor Oliver Bloodworth, Brother Duke. That may be the begin ning of the end of his bachelor ship. IT’S A TIME FOR SPUNK AND GRIT The pure grit shown by the people of the South in 1865 looms larger as the years come and go. When the folks were left without food, when an army had left the country so bare of food that a jaybird flying across it, had to carry his rations, the people put up no appeal to the nations of the earth for help. Mothers went to where the horses of the inva ding army had been fed, gather ed up the grains of corn trampled into the mire, washed it and had it ground and made bread from it—but they never made an ap peal for help nor plead at the door ot charity that they were paupers. They left beautiful homes or the ashes where these homes had been, and went to live in log cabins. But they never whined or asked alms. They were grit through and through, these our foreparents were, and they never even winced nor cried aloud. Their sons and daughters should not let a war 3,000 miles away cut the grit from under them, al though it has cut the price of cotton in two and has brought a temporary financial depression to this country of ours. Exchange. Figures show that Georgia has 170,000 more acres planted in wheat than the previous year. This is a percentage increase of 118. The state has an increase of fall sown oats of 328,000 acres or a gain of 96 per cent. Bully for Georgia. And Butts county has her share of this good gain in these important food crops. This is one year the people are going to buy with an eye to bar gains. It is the time of all times for the business man to keep up his advertising. The advertiser who keeps eternally and ever lastingly at it this year is going to get the greatest results of a lifetime. The race is to the swift, the battle to the strong. Let the timid stand from under. Don’t haul down the advertising flag. When is a progressive not a progressive?—Butts County Pro gress. After he gets elected to the United States senate and joins the bolters.— DeKalb New Era. Earlier than that. As soon as the returns are in.—Macon Tel egraph. Now that you have tagged them it is hoped the “dear people’’ will keep track of these four flushers in the future. A TEXAS WONDER.
