You Tickle Me
And I'll Tickle You.
When you accept a lot of
favors ycu must expect that
the time will come when you
will be called upon to return
them. Unless you are willing
to do so, ycu should net become
indebted. There are some peo¬
ple, however, who d.j not figure
this way. They seem to think
that every time they are favored
in any way that they are just
that much a.head. Such people
scon find they are left out of
many good times that ther
might otherwise enjoy, but do... ’f
understand the reason for their
declining popularity. They be
come what is known as the “hu
man sponge.” Yet they would
be insulted if vou told them that
they are dishonest. But they
are “cheats;” unwilling to dc
their share of the werk; unwill¬
ing to provide them share of the
expense account. They are
drawbacks in the community.
They wonder why they constant
ly encounter antagonism Is if
a warder that they are a source
of irritation to their friends?
Remembor this when v cu accept

From Various
Papers*
The Hearld is the name of a
new paper at Carnesville. We
know nothing of a demand for a
now paper there, but it is our
prediction that Miss Rgtha Pur¬
cell, who owns and operates the
Advance, ana has labored hard
and faithfully for Carnesville
and Franklin County, will be
hard to supplant.- Gai tesville
News.
We could hardly believe our
own eyes, when we saw the
Carnesville Advance of last
week. Tak about evolution,
well the eight pages we e all
home p int, and such fine ad ver
tisement we never saw in a Car
nesville paper. With this im¬
provement we trust the editress
will make the best of leap year
and force a deal with some old
bachelor. Commerce News-
The Carnesville Advance
greeted the new year with a
creditable 3 : ght page all home:
print paper. Aside from the
general news and editorai value
the paper carried a special write
up of all the county officers to-
gether with articles about the
principal of the Carnesville
School and the paster of the
Methodist Church of the
ville Circuit. The "oaper
one of the best that has ever
been issued under the present
administration. Lavooia Times
Lists weeks Camomile Ad¬
vance came to us neatly printed
carrying eight pages of interest
ling news and splendid ads. The
new paper there also being one
of very neat and interesting ap¬
pearances, gives Carnesville the
odds on the newspaper work of
Franklin—Royston Record.

Carnesville High
School Wins.
The boy’s basket ball team
of Carnesville High school de¬
feated the boy’s basket ball of
GarJandvilJe High school Friday
afternoon by score of 14 to 13.
The game was hotly contested
from the start. At the er.d of
the first half Fairview had sue
ceeded in gaining a slight m
gin over the Carnesville boys,
Both teams came back strong in
the second half but the Carnes
viile hoys kept up such a fast
pace that they succeeded in
running up points enough to
vio by a close margin. A good
many fouls vere made but as a
whole the game war fast and
exciting.

“The editor who deals fairlv and

To strive, to fail, to rebegin,
To taste the tempting fruit ufsin,
And find what bitter fruit it makes
To miss the path, to go astray,
To wander blindly in tne night,

Until at last we find the way.
