Jim Jones sure is a stingy man,
The tightest of the tight;
He melts the tin off every can
And stops his watch at night.

That lie’s a tightwad you’ll agree;
We speak of Silas Main,
Who takes all sacks to grocery
To have them filled again.
—Butler (Pa.) Citizen.
The Ugliest man in all the world
Is Jasper Blue, we think;
He makes his wife write shorthand-

—South Georgia Progress.
The stingiest guy we now recall
Is old man Jimmy Rocks;
He paints his legs above his shoes
To keep from buying socks.
—Savannah Press.
The closest yap that we remember
Is surely old Eddie Beecher;
He always stays away from church
To save paying the preacher.
TAKE TIME TO REST
The Dawson News.
Life is too short to give up all
to business and nothing to pleas
ure and rest. Too many people
defraud their stomach, head and
heart until they have made a
competency. When they expect
to enjoy the pleasures of life they
are generally too old, or their
greed for money has dried up all
the well springs of their being
and they are incapable of enjoy
ment. Devote your business
hours to business and your leisure
hours to innocent pleasure and
wholesome amusement and the
cultivation of such things as will
make life pleasant.
THE HOLIDAY PLAN
The majority of the merchants
and business interests of Jackson
have signed an agreement to close
for a half holiday once each week.
It is regretted that the movement
was not carried out unanimously.
The holiday plan has much to
commend it and is in line with
modern conditions. Possibly all
of us pay too much attention to
business, take our work too se
riously, and give t<So little atten
tion to play. During the dull
summer months, when trade is
not very active, there is bathing
to be lost by the plan.
The half holidav plan has its
disadvantages as well as its ad
vantages. These can be overcome,
however, and in a short while
everybody will adjust themselves
to the closing at 1 o’clock on Wed
nesday afternoons.
In taking this action Jackson
is only getting in line with a large
number of other progressive cities
throughout the country.
How To Feel Good Tomorrow

HOW HEAVY ARE YOU?
The Swainsboro Forest-Blade.
A French professor says that
he has weighed the human soul,
and that it tips the scale at three
ounces.
There are some men, however,
whose souls are so small that ten
thousand like’em could play ring
round-the-rosy on the face of a
thin silver dime for ten thousand
years with-out ever brushing
against each other. They are the
men who knock their home town.
And a knock from the home
town is to send elsewhere for
work and goods that you could
buy at home just as easily and.
perhaps, more cheaply.
If it is not too impertinent, how
much does your soul weigh?
THE REAL NOBILITY OF
FARMING
People used to think of farm
ing only as an industry. Lately
they are coming to realize the
truth that farming is really (1)
an industry, (2) a business, (3)
a profession.
An ‘industry’ is an occupation
requiring manual effort of labor.
A ‘business’ is an occupation
requiring knowledge of buying
and selling—financial transac
tions.
A ‘profession’ is an occupation
requiring techical skill and know
ledge—scientific training.
The trouble with us heretofore
has been that we haven’t laid j
emphasis on the two last mention- j
ed phases of agricultural effort.
Too many of us have thought of
farming as anoccupaion in which j
all muscular effort counted, the |
essentials to success being sum
med up bv Josh Billings in the
famous lines:
“He who by’farming would get rich
Must rake and hoe and dig and sich
Work hard all day, sleep hard all nite,
Save every cent and not git tite.”
Fortunately, however, we are
at last beginning to get a clearer
understanding of the real situa
tion. We are beginning to see
that while farming is an industry
—just as is digging coal in a mine,
or cutting trees in a forest, or
shoveling fuel into an engine,
or keeping a piece of machinery
going in a factory—yet farming
is very much more than this.
The miner, fireman or factory
operative has nothing to do with
the business side of his industry;
all the purchase of supplies and
all the big tasks of selling the
product profitably are foreign to
him. Moreover, for the miner
or factory operative there is ab
solutely nothing in his work to
make it a profession. It does
not call for scientific knowledge
and training such as the success
ful farmer requires in greater or
less degree in a dozen branches —
the care and management of soils;
the feeding and breeding of plants
and animals; the effects of various
processes of fertilization, culti
vation, rotation; methods of com
bating plant and animal diseases,
and a thousand other problems
offering scope for knowledge of
chemistry, biology, physiology,
botany, and a dozen other scien
ces.
This is why farming is a nobler
occupation, an occupation better
calculated to develop ability,
character, and all-round efficien
cy, than anv other in which any
great portion of the race is en
gaged.—The Progressive Farmer.
WHY m ARENERVOUS
T 1 • I! :■-veils system is the alarm system
of tiie human body.
In perfect health vie hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin -
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott’s Bmul
. sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment get 9 into the blood and
“rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
i the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
