Town Of Don’t-You-Worry
There’s a town called Don’t-You-Worry
On the banks of River Smile,
Where the Oheer.Up and Be-Happy
Blossoms sweetly all the while,
Where the Never Grumble flower
Blooms beside the fragrant Try,
End the Ne’er-Give-Upand Patience
Point their faces to the sky
In the valley of Contentment,
In the province of I-Will.
You will find this lovely city
At the toot of No-Fret Hill,
There are thoroughfares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees
Named the Very Seldom-Frovvn.
Rustic benches, quite enticing,
lou’ll find scattered here and there.
And to each a vine is clinging
Called the Frequent-Earnest-Prayer.
Every body there is happy,
And is sing all the while,
In the town ot Don’t-YouAVorry
On the banks of R:yer Smile.

Coming Back
A number of our Noith Geor
gia people sold out and went to
South Georgia several years ago.
If the truth was told hard I v a one
of them satisfied with their theii
roundings. The last one of
them are hearilv tired of the new
homes and with themselves back.
Lots of them have a ready come
back, and rejoice at their good
luck in bemg able to get back.
We have nothing against South
Georgia. It is a good country
for South Georgians, but it will
suit the people who have
bieu raised in this hilLv country,
with its good climate and water,
a d especially hard on children
who make the change.
We -ke the people of South
Georgia, and have no desire to do
ri0 damage whatever; but we
j 0V e our own peo le and hate to
see them led into making
change that will do them more
harm than good.—Mavsville En¬
terprise.
The Cifts of God
Once upon a time there was a
who said, “I will work no
more, and God will take care of
And so he gave away all he
had and sat down to wait for God
to take care of him, A ti er a
while he became hungry and noth
ing came his way. But m thedis
tmeehe saw some horses laden
wilh packs; winch he knew eon-
foo to eat. And he grew so
hungry that he followed them.
Up the hill he toiled, while still
in,the distance were the food lad
en horses. They led him a fine
tn; rch, and he grew weaker with
the hunger, At last he came near
to wnere the hors es bad stopped
earlier in the day, and there be
found food that had been left over
“This is harder than work,” he
said’ “and I realize that God will
take care ol the man who is up
and doing, but it vou sit down
and wait the horses will pass you
bv, carrying God’s gifts on their
backs.”—St. Louis Globe-Demo¬

Proper Judgement
There is sometimes moor sheer
courage in the little body of a gray
eqirrel than theieis in a whole
vast caiass of an elephant. An
old, old story tells o F a Sunday
sc | l(l ,q i a d who was asked why
|j ong ( { l( j en >t eat Daniel.
His answer was, “Because most
him was backbone and the rest
him was grit.” It is the
measurment of a man that counts
We mrst judge by the moral and
not the physical values whether
he is strong.

No Use For Him
The handsome young minister
alwavs stationed himself at the
church-door alter the service in
order to greet his parishioners as
they filled out.
One Sabbath morning along
came a raw Swetdish maid a
stinger, so with his usual cordial¬
ity i he minister grasped her hand
and said:
“1 am very glad to see you here
ulus morning. Will you not tell
me vour name and address, so
that I may call on vou soon?”
The maid looked him coidly in
the eye and with drawing her
hand replied:
“I t’ank you, but 1 got one
steady fella alreadtv; he comes
twice a week, and l t’ftnk be no
like you to come.”

The Chevrolet
Line For 1917

sist of two four and one eight cy¬
linder models: “Four-N i nty”
touring car, $550, “Four Ninty”
roadster, $535. “Four Ninty” tour
car fitted with ail weather top.
$625, Model “F” five passenger
touring car Baby Grand, $800,
‘ Royal Mail” Roadster mounted
on Model F chasis $800, “Model
D eight cylinder four passenger
roadster $1,385,and eight cylinder
five passenger touring car $1,385;
all prices 1. o. b. Flint.
The Chevrolet Four Nmty turn¬
ing car and roadster are provided
with new bodies of streamline
form. The ridge of the dash in
eliminated, and replaced by an un
broken graceful curve from stern
to cowl. The dash board is also
to give plenty of room lor
passenger’s feet m the driving
The Four Ninety touring car is
also provided with an all-season
top. This typo of body is thorough
servicable for summer and winter
us*. The top is light, non-rat¬
tling fitted to body irons, and
flush with sides of the car. The
price ot the touring car with at-
tachmentsis $35.
The “Baby Grand” touring car
and “Royal Mail” roadster are
teatuered at $800, Their new
bodies not onlv kept the beauty
of former years, but have added
many refinements. The wheel
base is 108 inches. The girth of
the roadster body Is unusally spue
ious foi its class.
The new eight cylinder model
equipped with an overhead valve
motor is addition to the Chevro¬

Flint. On the new eight cylinder
chasis choice is to be had of either
a four passenger roadster or a five

of up to date double cowl toim.
The new V- shaped motor consists
of eight cylinders 3 3 8 8x4 inche
bure and stroke overhead valves
with cylinder head detachable for
inspection.
The Chevrolet overhead valve
motor in this model as in other
models is superior to the ordinary
motors of this celerrated type.
For instance, it has the Chevrolet
detachable cylinder bead which
contains the simple valve mech¬
anism and can be easily removed
for inspection. Its absence of
valve cages does away with 64 un
necessary parts. It is built with
Doeh'er bronze back bearings.
Icisdifierett in design, balance,
proportions and accuracy of trim-
ing. It has more compact cylind¬
er bore, Through an efficient sys.
tem ot vacuum feed and vaporiza
tion it produces more energy der
fuel unit—more mileage per gal •
Ion of gasoline. The exhaust pipe
carries the heat away from the
and floor boards. The wiring is
enclosed in metal tubing. For
this and other reasons, the Cbeyro
let overhead valve motor is con-
sidered the most accessible flexi¬
ble, econonicol and efficient mot
or of its size in the world.
The new Chevrolet eight evlind
er overhead valye motor is mount
ed on a model “D” chasis of 120
inch wheelbase.—Atlanta Consti¬
tution.
