JUNE 21, 1906 Miss Katherine Moore, after spending about six weeks pleasantly with her aunt, Mrs F H Johnson, returned to her home at Perry last Thursday. The most disgraceful sight one ever sees in this town is a number of young boys, not yet in teens, with cigarettes in their mouths. A hoy behind a ette is a fit, subject for the reform school. 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. school house Sunday night. Preachingat Gray next Sun¬ 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, ro mm m W n i< be «.cj toy Ji fl) our aid. .Udr Bit*, Wi S THE PATEW" U&tHO, fa w nun, tiHHX A '-b*'-.r)D£tottS u.
