SOIL NEWS
By JAMES E. PAYNE
Soil Conservation Service
Are you looking for a place
to spend your vacation -a place
close to home and suitable for
the whole family? Do you have
the urge to get out in the open
and go camping, boating, or just
walking in the woods and fields?
If you do you may find just what
you are looking for on a farm
right close by.
Anew publication by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture called
“Rural Recreation - New Oppor
tunities on Private Land” is just
out that gives the largest infor
mation on ways to enjoy the out
of doors.
The new publication lists the
opportunities for outdoor recre
ation close to home, gives sug
gestions on how to find them,
and describes the farm people
who will be your hosts. It tells
about campgrounds, vacation
farms, swimming and boating,
fishing and hunting. Just walking
and enjoying nature are there for
your asking.
It is estimated that a hundred
million Americans will take to the
road this year. Where will they
go? What will they be seeking?
A large number of Americans
have a newfound interest in
camping - or boating, or other
outdoor activities. It’s all a part
of a great national surge to the
open spaces. Increasing throngs
of urban dwellers are turning
naturally to public parks, forests,
and beaches to find relief from
confinement and to enjoy out
door activity.
So great is the surge to the out
doors that public facilities near
population centers can no longer
accommodate all those who want
to camp, picnic, swim, and the
like. To take care of the demand
more and more private landown
ers are developing their recre
ation resources and offering them
to the public for a fee.
A copy of this publication may
open up ideas for enjoying out
door fun right in your own neigh
borhood that you never realized
existed. It might open up ideas
for some of you local landowners
on how you might develop some
of your possible recreation re
sources and help accommodate
some of the people looking for
recreation areas and gives you a
better income from your farm.
You can get a copy from the
local office of the Soil Conser
vation Service in the Post Office
building.

Pathos and Humor Alike Abound in
City Jail and Court, Judge Finds
BY BARBARA WISE
Perhaps it is the setting or
maybe it’s the type people to be
found there, but the jail crowd
can come forth with rather pecu
liar humor.
Here in Jackson, the city jail
does a thriving business on misde
meanor cases. Monday morning
finds the establishment overflow
ing with repentant inebriates and
those inclined to slicing and stick
ing their victims with knives and
picks.
Mayor C. B. Brown Jr., who
presides over the judging of the
odd assorted Monday morning lot,
says he has had many laughs with
and on these confinees and their
witnesses since taking office in
January.
But one of his so called clients
had the last laugh on him.
The city purchased uniforms
for prisoners shortly after Mr.
Brown took office and they were
considered a symbol of progres
sive government. This was done
so that those arrested and unable
to pay their fines to be released
could be put to work on city
streets.
The particular good soul who
really raised the wrath of the
city government was the one who
took off and failed to leave his
uniform behind.
The man was with the sanitary
crew and the wide open spaces
at the dump proved too much.
He left. Several days later he
was picked up in Indian Springs,
minus the suit which he claimed
to have hidden in the woods. A
crew beat the bushes, Mayor
Brown said, but returned empty
handed. The man was kept in
jail after that.
If escaping prisioners who lose
their uniforms are not enough t >
contend with, the small town
mayor must act as judge in do
mestic fights.
Mayor Brown says testimony
in knifing and stabbing cases get
rather complicated at times. It
is a change, though, from the
run of the mill drunk charges
that occupy most of the court’s
time.
The Jackson City Court is
noted by those who have run
afoul of city law for being im
scending elevator.
Atlanta, Ga., August 20—Gov
ernor Walker today appointed G.
Odgen Persons of Forsyth, form
er president of the State Senate,
to fill the judgeship of the Flint
Circuit, and Attorney Thomas J.
Brown of McDonough to be solici
tor-general.

partial to one and all. It has set
fines which become stiffer for
repeated offenders.
This rule has posed a problem
in several cases for Mayor Brown.
One local inebriate would make
the jail his permanent residence
if authorities would allow it.
The man is a good, cheerful
worker, but he just can’t leave
the bottle alone. After he takes
the contents of the bottle, he
can’t seem to stay at home,
either. Monday morning finds him
singing the jailhouse blues and
Mayor Brown wondering again
what to do about him.
He gives him a tongue lashing
and puts him to work on the city
streets—in uniform—under a
sentence in keeping with the of
fense.
Seriously, the job of being a
small town judge and mayor is a
difficult and thankless one. Few
people realize that the city court
handles more cases and takes in
more fines than the Superior
Court. From the sound of it, it is
a lot of fun, too.
