Report all items of interest to
this office. They will be appre¬
ciated and each item will help to
make the paper that much more
interesting. We cannot get all
the news but by your help we
get the lion’s share and that is
what we wish to do. We want all
the news that’s news.
Hon Geo W Adams,
of the Putnam county branch of
the cotton association, spent last
Friday at Gray. He also repre¬
sents his district in the Georgia
senate. We were truly glad to
welcome him to our county on
this, his first visit.
The gasoline engine refused to
work last Monday and a machin¬
ist was sent, for. Upon examina¬
tion it was found to be all right,
save that it had no fuel. The
machinist informed those in
charge that it being a gasoline en¬
gine it required gosoline in the
tank to run it.
Superstition and distrust, with
which all societies known as se¬
cret orders were at one time view¬
ed by a large number of people,
was happily long ago dispelled,
all( j today the lodge stands as one
G f the champions of the home
a nd f am ily. Wherever society
has reached a high state of devel¬
opment, secret and fraternal or¬
ders have their greatest strong¬
hold.
We received a letter from a la¬
dy a few days ago asking why we
didn’t publish a certain commu¬
nication. We have repeatedly
stated that all communications
should he signed by the writer’s
name, not necessarily for publi¬
cation but as evidence of good
faith. The communication re¬
ferred to ' was not signed
and it therefore went
to the waste basket. Ofcourse
regular correspondents, whose
identity is known to us, do not
come within the above subsub¬
scribed rules. We trust this ex¬
planation is satisfactory.
The man who wrestles with the
cow and learns the calves to suck,
who casts the corn before the
swine, is now in the greatest luck ;
for butter’s on the upper grade,
veal.s higher than a kite, pork is
climbing up the scale and beef is
out of sight; eggs he gathers every
day from his Poland chicken coop
are al most worth their weight in
gold and we are in the soup. His
corn brings him a fancy price,
its rising every day, and he rakes
in all kinds of mon for a half
load of hay. The farmer is in
the saddle and when he comes to
town the rest of us by right
should go way back and sit down.

day ift the court house.
The continued rain* ate prov¬
ing disastrous to the peach crop.
Luke Brufldttge has purchased
half of Dr Poland’s lot, near
the school house, and will pro¬
ceed at an early date to erect an
elegant home. We await the op¬
portunity to welcome him and
family to Gray.
Dr James Prevail, of Monti-
cello, attended the Institute at
Gray last Friday. The institute,
nor nothing pertaining attraction, to Jones
county, was the how¬
ever, but when it is remembered
that one of Monticello’s fair
daughters was on the grounds his
visit is explained.
A modern dude with narrow
stripped clothes, saddle colored
shoes, a loud nectie, hair parted
over his nose and smoking a ci¬
garette, addressed his best girl
thus: “If you was me and I was
you, what would you do?” She
hesitatingly said with a smile:
“I would take off that hideous
tie, put that cigarette in the
stove, part my hair on one side,
then pray to God for brains.”
The rural routes were establish¬
ed for the benefit of rural homes,
or in other words the farmers.
They have proven a great bene¬
fit and blessing to the farmers
than was anticipated by the most
sanguine. A farmer who has
once enjoyed the advantages of
the rural mail service would hard¬
ly know how to live without it.
It did not come to the farmer,
however, until he had many
times earned it. The farmers are
our heaviest tax-payers. What
property they have_ is in plain
sight and is taxed, while the city
gent, at least many of them, who
deals in notes and bonds [is ena¬
bled to hide his wealth from the
assessor. For a quarter of a cen-
tury the mail has been carried to
the city home, not bnce, but ma¬
ny times each day. Finally the
big heart of Uncle Sam has reach¬
ed out to the men who feed the
world.
The local paper should bo found
in every home. No children
should grow up ignorant who can
be taught to appreciate the home
paper. It is said to be the step¬
ping tone of intelligence in ull
those matters not to be found in
books. Give your children a for¬
eign paper which contains not a
word about any person, place or
thing, which they saw or perhaps
ever heard of. and how could you
expect them to be interested. But
let them have the home paper and
reud of people whom they meet
and of places of which they are
familiar and soon all interest is
awakened which increases with
every arrival of the local paper.
Thus a habit of reading is formed
and those children will read the
papers all their lives and., become
intelligent men and women, ■ a
credit to their ancestors, strong
j n knowledge of the world as it is
today,
