S THAT WHICH SATISFIES:— "Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your jtoul delight itself in fatness.— Isaiah 55:2. _O Business is fine. j ' —o — ■ One way to unsettle a question is to argue about it. 0 When one woman meets another it usually brings on more talk. We can all find reasons why other people shouldn’t make mistakes. o “Vulgarity comes out of the heart through the mouth,” says old Joe Jones. o The autoist who stops to think will usually think to stop, as it were, so to speak. o “If thy neighbor offend thee,” quoths old Joseph Jones, “cut his acquaintance.” • o The fellow with a little evil in his own heart usually is pretty adept in locating it in the other man. 0 — You can drink the luscious butter milk all day long and you’ll be just as sober and have as much sense at night as you had when you started in the morning. It won’t make a fool out of you. —Xo There’s one • very commendable trait in the Hartwell merchants— they practically all keep their show windows cleaA and attractively deco rated, changing quite often. In talk ing with a tourist from Berkeley Springs*, W. Va., the other day he swiid there were few cities the size of Hartwell that had such attractive store fronts. We thanked him and told him that Hartwell was the best business town in this section of Geor gia. He said that fact was very evi dent. Show windows are somewhat like a person’s face. You can tell what’s back of it by the outside ap pearance. ■ —'■ 1 I ll■ » I O~* ■ 1 ■ ■ 111 i M Did You Ever Stop to Think That the city that gets the publi city gets the business? That the city that gets the adver- : tising groU’s? ' That advertising a city is a busi ness, not child’s play? That people go miles to get a good, live city to trade in? That your property will increase in value when the outside world knows your city is wide awake? That people from neighboring cities will come where there is some thing doing? That the city that does not seek something better than it now has is going to lose out? That now is the time your city and business needs advertising more than ever before?—Port Arthur (Texas) Bulletin. o— YOUR INCOME TAX If you are single and support in your home one or more persons close ly related to you and over whom you exercise family control, you are the head of a family and entitled under the revenue act of 1924 to the same personal exemption allowed a mar ried person, $2,500. In addition, a taxpayer is entitled to a credit of S4OO for each person dependent up on him for chief support, if such per son is either under 18 years of age or incapable of self-support because mentally or physically defective. Such dependent need not be a member of the taxpayer's household. For ex ample, an unfnarried son who sup ports in his home an aged mother is entitled to an exemption of $2,500 plus the S4OO credit for a depend ent, a total of $2,900. If from choice the mother lived in another city, the son, although her chief support, would be entitled only to the SI,OOO exemption, plus the S4OO credit. The mother not living with him, he is not | considered the head of a family. I An exemption as the head of a L family can be claimed by only one I member of a household. L The S4OO credit does not apply to | Hi the wife or husband of a taxpayer, or • may be totally dependent the other. YOU ARE CORRECT I The Elberton Star, in commenting on the articles in The Sun recently regarding the amount of money re ceived by Mr. Crayton White, Mr. J. T. Richardson and others, through the sale of chickens, eggs, butter and other products of the farm, said: “We will venture to say that here is a farmer who never complains that the country is going to waste on ac count of the boll weevil. It s also a good bet that his stock is sleek and fat and that you will find the fences , and out-houses on his place well kept and in good repair. With an Income of near SSO per month independent of the main crops of cotton, corn, syrup, potatoes, etc., besides plenty of good things for the table the year round, there is an independence of living in this household that makes life worth while. If every other crop besides the vegetables, fruits, chick ens, eggs, milk and butter were a ; total failure, these thrifty people would continue on the even tenor of their way, pay their bills and ask no one for credit. “This is the kind of farm program that it is gojng to take to bring this section back to its rightful place of farm leadership and prosperity. It is gratifying to note the increasing number of Elbert county farmers who are making up their minds to live at home first of all, sell the surplus crops around the house for the pocket change, and then go after the money crop, as this progressive neighbor is doing.” o—; . THINGS THAT MAKE A TOWN GREAT “A little more praise and a little less blame, A little more virtue, a little less shame, A little more thought for the other man’s rights A little less self in our chase for de lights, A little more loving, a little less hate, Are all that are needed to make the town great. A little more boosting, a little less peering, A title more trusting, a little less fearing, A little more patience in trouble and pain, A little more kindness worked into strife, Are all . that are needed to glorify life. A little more honor, a little less greed, A little more service, a litle less creed, A little more courage when pathways are rough, A little more action, a little less bluff, A little more kindness by you and by me, And, oh, what a wonderful town it would be.” o WHICH BEAN SHALL I PLANT TO SELL? Editor Southern Cultivator: Please inform me which of the two beans is the most profitable to raise for sale, Laredo or O-Too-Tan. I want to plant four or five acres isl beans and would like to know at about what price I could get per bushel for them next fall. Will you answer soon as I want to know how to begin to arrange for this year’s crop? D. H. D. Hartwell, Ga. Comment by the Editor: Plant both, the O-Too-Tans and the Laredo. They will both sell well. The O-Toy-Tan is the best for hay and early planting. The Laredo is best to plant after grain, as it matures earliest. We cannot tell just what the price will be next fall, ; blit we can say that these two beans ' are here to stay, and the demand for seed will be good for the next twenty years. They make the feed and they help the land, and they can stand drouth far betten than the cow pea.—Southern Cultivator. o The Sun Honor Roll L. M. Parks, Hartwell 4. Hon. J. A. Rountree, Houston, Tex.

It is a hustling booming place, with a bustle and activity rarely found even in the larger cities. Its resemblance to Atlanta is so pronounced that a visitor who knows both places is continually comparing the two cities with each other. Time and time again, I have unconsciously done this, and I have found it to be the case with others. With it all, in spite of the Texas city’s more startling boom and outward progress, Atlanta still has the edge on her and a more substantial backing. Atlanta’s age and steady growth, slowly at times but surely, has put her in an inviable position, with the passage of years. One feels and senses all this on a visit there. Dallas is different in this. She is just now coming into her own. She is pushing forward, eagerly, perhaps a little too eagerly. Her people are a new people—ad venturers, plungers, drifters, from all parts of the country. There are no traditions. There are no old families. Only the lure of. money, a 1 magicial setting, new industries springing up each day, a future that holds promise of great things. My last visit to Dallas was the most pleasant of all my stays there. The years have brought some close friendships. The city itself has be come dear to me. So, on this trip having more time to myself than usual, I looked up old friends and renewed the ties of former years and with the January’s usual legarthy of busjness, I took advantage of the opportunity and made the best of my trip. Dallas is an interesting city. Like all the cities of the West, it is sparkling in its newness. Giant buildings are being erected, a steady flow of traffic is only halted with the electrical stop signal and then at the clang of the signal bell for the right of way, charges on, again. Dallas is a well-dressed city. The throngs that parade up and down the streets, main business section are a colorful group. Rivaling Fifth Avenue, herself, it is a much better dressed crowd than Atlanta can boast of and instead of the South west, one could easily imagine this city as a typical city of the East. Daytime—, the clatter and whirl of traffic with hurrying crowds, mostly on business. At nights—, a brilliant array of glittering lights and electric signs and the same crowds, only a laughing, jovial crew out “doing” the town for pleasure. And there’s plenty to. The famous Adolphus hotel with its roof garden and its splendid orchestra. Its private ball rooms and cases. The Ritz—, an other dancing center. Shows. The Majestic with Keith vaudeville. And numbers of other palatial houses, showing the newest in pictures. And one night, in the midst of all this sort of life, through the kind ness of my friend Moss Allman, for mer fellow townsman, a bunch of us tried out something entirely new. The colored folks of Dallas have a very nice theatre of their own and Hear And Their By DANA \ ■■■.. ■ . > AFTER WAITING to-day. * * ♦ FOR TWO solid hours. ♦ ♦ ♦ FOR A certain guy 1 know. » * » TO FILL an appointment. ♦ * * IN THE hotel. ♦ * ♦ I SAT a thinking. ♦ » • AND WENT back again. ♦ » » OVER THE years gone by. ♦ * ♦ IN THE various places. ♦ ♦ ♦ WHERE OTHER friends. ♦ ♦ ♦ j AND BUSINESS folk. ♦ ♦ ♦ HAD ACTED just the same. ♦ ♦ ♦ IN FILLING their dates. ♦ ♦ ♦ WITH ALWAY S some excuse. ♦ ♦ ♦ FOR THEIR tardiness. ♦ ♦ ♦ AND I thought particularly. ♦ ♦ ♦ OF ONE good friend. * • * DOWN IN Atlanta. * • • WHO, WITH all his good traits. ♦ ♦ ♦ I HAD NEVER yet. • * * KEPT A date on time. * ♦ * AND HAS that reputation. * » ♦ WITH ALL his friends. ♦ ♦ ♦ AND SO I’ve resolved. * * * FOR GOOD and all. • • ♦ THAT WITH all my faults. ♦ ♦ • ' THAT ONE, I won’t have. • ♦ ♦ WHICH MIGHT be a good idea. ♦ ♦ ♦ FOR ALL of us to resolve. • * ♦ TO BE punctual. » ♦ • IF NOTHING else. • * « I THANK YOU. 0 Isabelle Rockfeller, grandniece of the oil king, is an instructor in biology in the Teachers’ College of [Columbia University. By E.8.8.Jr. had been running a road show of the musical variety for several days. So, on this night they put on what they termed it, a “midnight frolic” for the white people only. It began at 11 o’clock p. m. Moss and our crowd arrived early and with packed house of white people proceded to enjoy the best musical show of its kind that I have enjoyed in many a day. Real negro music. Real negro sing ing as only those people can sing. With the mamma lullabys and the “blues” songs and we come out at 1 o’clock a. m. a very delighted audience. It is hard to write when one’s heart is breaking. It is harder to go out each day and face a world that wants only cheerfulness and the gay laugh of the optimist, and to keep right on and fight for business when all the time one’s thoughts are back home with the bereaved ones there, and one’s heart is filled with a sadness that only Time itself can heal. I am writing this tonight in such a frame of mind. Tonight, I stood on the college hill that over looks the city of Boulder, Colo. Here is the great University of Colorado, with its stately buildings and its magnificent fraternity and sorority homes. I stood with a friend, a boy formerly from Arkansas whom I have known for years who is now an instructor in chemistry here. We I were Fraternity brothers. We have ! always been the closest of friends. And as we stood there on the campus, i in a lonely spot and looked down on 1 Boulder below with its twinkling ' lights and its lovely night appearance, for awhile, we were both quiet and then I told him of home and our troubles and our recent bereavement and how hard it was at times to keep faith and fight on and keep one’s illusions. And he listened quietly for awhile and then grasped my hand and gently, as is his way, told me something of his life and his trials and how at one time, every thing seemed tinsel and God has for saken him. And as he talked I heard a story that I did not know, and that I would have never imagined. A story of his own life that had plunged him into despair once, but with a final strength to go on and not give up. And hours went by and we both talked and then were silent and out of the night there came an under standing, a sense of peace—, was it God’s hand?—, anyway, a feeling of renewed faith that put strength in our heart, to go on. And so it is. All of us, at times, feel that we have more than our share of troubles. That for some unfathomable reason, we are re quired to stand more and carry more burdens, than our fellowman. And yet, when we look around, our first analysis does not hold true. We find we are mistaken. For, in every heart there comes grief, and in every fami ly there’s a sorrow that many a time we know nothing of. And—, many a smiling face and a cheerful companion hides deep down in his heart, a hurt that only Time will heal, and a disillusion that, perhaps, never shall be swept away. »*♦*****»♦ SARDIS »♦**»**♦♦* Mrs. L.

The cen tral decoration of the table was the birthday cake with its five candles. Those assisting in entertaining were Miss Carlise Powell and Miss Corine Goss. 0 Sight of Cats and Owls The belief that cats and owls can I see in the dark is a popular fallacy. The iris of a cat's eye is capable of great variation, so as to admit more or less light, thus enabling the cat to see much better in the dusk than can humans, but in absolute darkness all I animals are as helpless as any human being. The feature which adapts cer tain eyes for use with only a poor light is the constitution of the retina which is composed of two sets of struc ) tures, the so-called rods and cones. I The rods are apparently affected by radiation slightly before the cones, and hence some creatures, Including owls, whose eyes possess a large pro portion of cones, are better suited for j seeing in a faint light.

He began: “Say, boss, you hab to give me more money, fo’ dis job.” “Well, Sam, I’ll see about it,” was the reply. “See about nothin’.
