Hardman Club
Organized
All the traveling men of Athens
and this territory have been re
quested to meet in the parlors of
the Georgian hotel next Saturday
afternoon at 5 o’clock for the pur¬
pose of organizing a Hardmrn
club—fin the active interest of Dj.
L G. Hardman,of Commerce, can-
didate for governor of the state of
Georgia.—Athens Banner.
Athens is a growing citv, and is
fast placing herself on the map as
one of tho most progressive citiss
in the state. She is now regarded
as one of the leading wholesale
cities and easily competes with
anv city in the state in the whole¬
sale business. It may be surpris¬
ing to manv to know that more
than a half a hundred salesman
representing wholesale houses
make Athens their headquarters
and they cover almost every nook
and corner of the state. These
gentlemen have a strong United
Commercial Travelers organization
in Athens, and it is this organiza-
tion to Avhich reference Is made in
the above clipping from the Ath¬
ens Banner. Numbers of these
g ent l emen come to Commerce
every week, and they are gentle-
men in every sense of the word,
and our people are glad to num¬
ber them among their strong per-
sonal friends, as well as congenial
efficient business men. The fol¬
lowing is an incomplete list of the
names of the U. C. T. A\ r ho make
Athens their headquarters.

Forget The Weath¬
er And Keep Busy
Half the discomfort of hot Aveath
er is due to mental suggestions.
People talk each other into misery
Summer doesn’t Avorry sensible
folks. Of course, it is hot, and
you perspire and all that. But
that,s no reason why you should
make yourself and other persons
uncomfortable.
Wear loose, light clothing, eat
good food and plenty of it, drink
lots of water and lemonade and
that sort of thing, let liquor alone
and peg away at your work with¬
out thinking about the thermom¬
eter.
You’ll find the summer isn’t
bad at all, and you will be in first
class trim by fall time.
Work, good food and good na¬
ture—with these to help you, you
can thumb your nose at hot weath
er.

County President,
Monthly Preamble
—
“Backward, turn backward, oh
time in your flight;
Make mo a child again—just for
to-night.”
What a useless prayer it seems
and yet there never a prayer which
came deeper from the heart of the
wanderer. For the time of cliild-
hood comes but once, the flower
time of humanity, and as the build
* K) ' or ^°°i <s upon the I nil
blown rose of glorious mother¬
hood there comes little realization
to the childish mind that those
beautiful petals must fall one by
one to be blown back to the dust
from which they came; and only
the rare fragrance of mother love
will remain to he wafted on thru
the years to the one who has
grown “weary of dust and decay
weary of flinging my soul wealth
away.”
This is the youth of one
more year. The babe has come
gone in its stormy entreaty
the boyhood is here.
How much like humanity is the
one cycle that is now one third
gone! First came the baby step
the days and nights that are giv-
en to contemplation of the future
Then the sprirgtime with all its
wealth of action, its glow of feel¬
ing. The buds come forth and
the wild flowers peep through the
mosses. It is typical of manhood.
1 lien comes the summer with its
daily toil toward a realization of
maturity and which describes the
earlier manhood. After that
comes autumn. The leaves turn
to gold and glorify the trees just
as the gray hair of mother glori
lies sweetest womanhood. Then
the winter looks back in tender¬
ness of youth, so do the summer
and the autumn and the winter
look back on the days when the
blossoms came and all the world
was sweet with tenderness and
Dry den once said, “Men are but
chidlren of a lnrger growth” and
in thoughts of mother this is in
deed true of all mankind, For
every man who loved his mother
every man who looks back thru
the past, becomes a dreamer in
the boyhood of the year. lie
looks back toward the old home
and sees his mother sitting there.
He lolls under the shade trees, his
lingers toying and caressing the
ears of that pal of every boys
youth—his dog; hears his mothers
sweet voice softly humming a rare
old song as she busies herself with
the evening meal. He hears the
tinkle of the cowbell cn the hill¬
side and with a sigh—for youth is
always tired at chore time—he re¬
luctantly ambles toward the cow
barn with the tin milk pail swing¬
ing on his arm. The twilight
comes and the day is done. Then
the dreamer awakens to the fact
that the old home is no longer
there. The village churchyard
holds most of the actors in that
sweet dream story. And as he
kneels by that little grassy mound
Avith its simpler headstone, “Moth¬
er, he has but the memory of her
love, her devotion and her patient
teaching to guide him in the sum¬
mer and the winter of life. But
what a Avonderful heritance the
good mother leaves! Character
and integrity, the guide post which
lead to decency and keep you
right. For as long as a man ie-
memhers his mother and her kind¬
ly teachings, he is not going to go
very far Avrong.

love, no pen cnn transcribe it, no
brush can trace it on the canvas
an* l no instrument can measure it.
It is such a sacred thin", so beau¬
tiful, and each test that has come
has shown how limited is the af¬
fection of motherhood. No man
has fallen so low while his mother
lived who did not know that while
her heart might break over his
misconduct, she would find some
excuse for him and would continue
to love and defend him with her
life. Step by step man has fallen
until he has reached the depths,
yet step by step bis mother’s love
has followed him and hoped and
hoped that some change might
come. And what greater hell can
come to a man than the tardy real
ization that mother is dead and he
was a contributor to her earthly
sorrows and uncertainties?
Perhaps half of our readers have
been spared tint sorrow that comes
with the loss of mother. Perhaps
half of you still find opportunity
to see much of sweet woman who
brought you into the world. To
those fortunate ones we offer this
bit of advice, while we touch upon
a subject that means so much to
us “Tell Mother!” Tell her the
very thing you dislike most lor
to know. For if you can’t “toll
mother,” you are pursuing a bar-
ren ideality. You are doing some¬
thing that will not stand the acid
test. Let that be vour proof of
right or wrong, if you are in
doubt. “Tell Mother!” For moth
ev understands, mother knows.
Mother isn’t as old fashioned as
<
you think she is. She has so much
love in her heart that she keeps up
with you. She knows what is
best. If you can’t “tell mother,”
young lady you are on the wrong
track. If iou are ashamed for
mother to know, you are ashamed
of your-self, down in your heart.
If you are keeping something
from mother, you are spotting
your character with splotches that
will sink in and in. And this ad¬
vice is not wholly for girls and
women. It is for the boys and
the men, too. If you are ashamed
to let mo! her know, there isn't any
question about it. You are on the
Avrqpg track, and you will find
that there will be blots upon your
character that should not be there
It is a guide for all who still have
a mother, “tell” her!
Every evil companion you know
and'associate with is a wr or.gto
your mother. Every stealthy act
of yours is a menance to her hap
piness, a reflection upon her kindly
teachings. As long as vou have
no secrets from mother you are
decent and clean living fit to lien¬
or any home. It is very Simple
just tell mother.
We loved our mother devot-
edly and she saw muoh good
in us us that we are afraid was
not there. Iu our heart, we dedi-
cate each Mothers’ number to her
for all the sympathy, all the sen¬
timent, all the kindness and un
selfishness Avithin us was implant¬
ed there by mother. We try to
write what she Avould have us
write in this preamble. It is a let¬
ter to motner as well as to our
countless readers. We would gi\ r e
all avc possess and our hope of the
future to be able to sit by her side
and talk Avith her tonight, there in
the shade of the old home. You
who are still blessed Avith her
presence know with what longing
we write,-™Jim Jam Junior.
