CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GREEN HORNETS
The Green Hornets have captured the fancy of the public like
no other athletic team here in recent history. A football team com
posed of 11 and 12-year-olds, they are, after five games, undefeated,
untied, and, get this, unscored on. On the other hand, the Hornets
have tallied 132 points, averaging 26.2 points per game.
They are coached by Ernest Biles and “Skeeter” Biles and are
sponsored by Settle & Robison.
The exciting and hopeful thing about the team is that within a
few short years they will be candidates for the Jackson High varsity
and with their grid savvy and experience, fortunes of the Red Devils
should take a decided upswing. Fortunate, indeed will be the coach
who inherits this talented band of gridders.
Members of the Green Hornets are Jody Marchman, Frederick
Wood, Billy Reason, Jarrell Welch, Darrell Summers, Mike Peck,
Andy Crumbley, William Barnes, Aubrey Burford, Neal Rosser,
Billy Duke, Keith Hobbs, Kenny Norsworthy, Randy Long, Victor
Page, Ronnie Acree and Lester Peek. Regardless of what happens in
the remaining games, and we have no reason to suspect that the Hor
net’s goal line will be crossed, we salute this outstanding team, its
coaches and its sponsor. These are the future players that will elevate
the Red and Black of Jackson to the pinnacle of gridiron glory in the
state. We will go so far as to assert that before these boys graduate a
state Class B championship trophy will repose in their locker room.
And, boys, please make me a prophet with honor!

COUNTY BENEFITTED FROM STAY AND SEE CONTEST
Win, lose or draw the judges in the Stay and See Georgia
contest were royally entertained Saturday with proceedings going off
without a hitch. Chairman Henry Asbury and his hard working com
mittees rolled out the red carpet for the visiting dignitaries and they
seemed to enjoy every minute, from the sumptuous buffet luncheon
served at the clubhouse, the entertainment provided by soloist Mike
Morgan, to the tour of the county’s historic and beauty spots,
last affair on the day’s agenda.
As most know by now, Jackson is competing with Toccoa for
the number one spot in Class I (Newcomers). In other words Jack
son and Toccoa entered the contest this year for the first time. In
event they enter it again next year, and Jackson intends to do so,
then we will be placed in another category.
The judges appeared impressed with the efforts put forth by
Jackson and asked many questions that indicated their desire to know
more about local places of interest and the work of the various com
mittees. Jackson was the last town visited before the return to At
lanta and then to the respective homes of the judges.
The decision will be known soon, perhaps before this column
is read. But regardless of the outcome, Jackson and Butts County
have benefitted from having entered the contest. We’re already the
second best town in the state in our division. Like the football
people we may hopefully soon be chanting “we’re number one.”

THE WALTON TRIBUNE
AN AUTUMN IDYL
(The late Ernest Camp was editor and publisher of the Tribune
for more than a half century. Editor Camp’s hobby was writing;
poetry was his favorite avenue and fall was his most inspirational
season. As we are currently enveloped in a gorgeous array of beau
tiful fall colors, we reprint this poem, written in Monroe by the late
Editor Camp in the fall of 1923.)
The evening shadows lengthen o’er the avenues of
space and the lilting zephyrs whisper where the oak
limbs interlace, a mellow cadence mingles with the
murmur of the pines and wood and vale are fragrant
with the breath of muscadines.
‘Tis the meeting of the seasons in the ante-room
of Time, and Summer seems reluctant to capitulate - -
sublime with magic, mellow mornings and with after
noon so rare she weeps as Autumn cometh with a red
rose in her hair.
Old Summer tells of blessings
she has brought to high and low,
the sun-kissed skies and spaces
where the sweetest breezes blow,
the vibrant mountain reaches
and the smiling vales below, the
sea, the brooks, and rivers,
and the sunsets’ after-glow.
But old Summer’s voice is hus
ky and her cheeks are growing
pale, and furrows line her fore
head as a token of travail, her
course is almost finished and her
smile is faint and wan as Au
tumn paints the landscape and
prepares her robes to don.
She brings as gifts a presence
that relumines and allures, a spur
to young and aged that enlivens
and endures, a wealth of charm
and color and a calm that leads
astray our vagrant thoughts and
| fancies to the realms of Yester
day.
She brings to us a knowledge
of mistakes and forces spent in
misdirected effort that will
bring no increment, and she
throws upon our vision all the
hopes and joys and fears—all the
shifting lights and shadows of the
vanished Yester years.
Then she paints the wood and
meadow into vari-colored hues,
she fills the air with incense and
sets diamonds in the dews, she
flecks the sky with purple and
she wraps the sun in gold and
she opens up a vista of emotions
manifold.
So I welcome gentle autumn,
with her variegated charms, I
like her sweet demeanor as I take
her in my arms, and I clasp her
in my bosom with sincerest
thanks to God that He sends
along the season with her robes
of goldenrod.

‘Whatsoever Things'
BY DONALD E. WILDMON
We all want to be successful. And there isn’t
one thing wrong with that. He made us that way,
implanted that desire in us when He breathed
into us the breath of life. And it would be an
awful dull existence if we didn’t have that desire
about us. For it causes us to do our best, to go
to the highest, to shoot for the top. Far from
repressing this desire, He encouraged it,, kindled
it, and set us afire with it.
M
The trouble comes, you see, when we misuse this desire, turn
its energies in the wrong direction, seek its outlets in the wrong
ways. For somehow we think that to be successful means that we
have to do so according to the standards of those around us. Let me
share with you a story worth passing along.
In 1923 a group of the world’s most successful men—according
to society’s standards—met at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago.
Among those present were a member of the President’s cabinet, the
president of the Bank of International Settlements, the head of the
world’s greatest monopoly, the president of the largest independent
steel company in the world, the greatest wheat speculator, and the
greatest “bear” on Wall Street plus the president of the New York
Stock Exchange. Their meeting attracted national attention. People
watched them in awe, stunned by the magic they had about them.
They were envied by vast numbers of people.
Some quarter of a century la
ter some snoopy reporter had to
get involved in the thing. He de
cided to see what had happened
during the past 25 years to these
men of success. He spoiled the
happy ending to the story with
his findings. He found that Al
bert Fall, the member of the
President’s cabinet, was released
from prison so he could die at
home, utility operator, Samuel
Insull, died in virtual exile. The
head of the world’s greatest
monoply, Ivar Krueger, commit
ted suicide. The president of the
steel company, Charles Schwab,
lived on borrowed money the last
five. years of his life and died
broke. The wheat speculator, Ar
thur Patton, died abroad, insol
vent. The greatest “bear” on
Wall Street, Jesse Livermore,
committed suicide. And the presi
dent of the New York Stock Ex
change, Richard Whitney, had
served a term in Sing Sing Fed
eral Prison.
I guess many times we close
the book without reading the
final chapter. And when we do
this we don’t always get the full
story. We call it a game in the
fifth inning with four more in
nings to go. We quit singing on
the third verse with two verses
left. We could get the real pic
ture if we would read the final
chapter, play the last inning,
sing the final verse.
I guess the reason He was hung
the game will be counted as incorrect.
6. In event of a tie, the prize will be equally divided
among the contestants tieing.
7. Winners will receive their prize at The Progress-
Argus office after 10 a. m. Tuesdays, at which time
the winner’s names will be posted in the windows of
the sponsoring firms and announced in the paper.
8. No employees and their families of four sponsors and
newspaper are eligible.

A blind woman was the most prolific
and perhaps the most popular writer
of Sunday School hvmns that America
has ever produced. Fannie Crosby was
born in 1820 and tragically lost her
sight when only six weeks old. At
15 she entered the Institution for the
Blind in New York City, remained 7
years as a pupil and 11 as a teacher.
In all she wrote the extraordinary num
ber of 6,000 hymns.
