A Dead Town
(By Georgia Matthew Adams I
(In The Waycross Journal I
A friend showed me over a
dead town the other day. It was
an extremely interesting sight.
.There Was a station through
which train after train passed
daily. There was a silent hotel
where scores were wont lo meet
in happy concord and then to
bury themselves in sleep after the
day of tears, love laughter and
service.

A meeting of the Tallulah Falls
local of the Order .of Railroad
Telegraphers was held Saturday
night at the Blue Ridge Hotel.
Tire meeting was called to or
der by J. 0. Kempson, Chairman.
B. 0. Robertson was present at
opening of meeting, and after
a few graceful remarks retired
from the room.
The meeting was highly enliv
ened by the presence of A.L. Da
vis. who was at his best.
Chairman Kempson gave an
interesting account of a meeting
of the chairmen in the Southeast
ern territory held in Atlanta re
cently.
Support was pledged the A. B.
and A. strikers, by this local,
who are now out.
Those present were: E. S. and
D. 0. Hunnicutt, Ross Davis,
R. G. Beshears, W. R. Ussery,
A. L. Davis, Wm. Hunnicutt, B.
T. Farmer, J. C. Kempson, at>d

still in its youth. But not a soul
was to be seen. The streets were
as idle as the trees which looked
down upon them, sad and lonely.
It was hard to understand how
such a transformation could come
about, for the spot where the
town stood so stricken was a
most beautiful one.
And so I inquired. I was told
that one man was largely respon
sible. He laid out the town, pro- , ,
«ritr6ven*beautified W-W. be ?-? at K t , he . ' v , estern
then killed it by his dishonest
methods and distasteful personal
ity. He put poison into the clear
waters of an otherwise happy
stream. And so -people took up
their -things and moved away,
leaving but the shell of happiness
to tel! of the past.
There is a most profound lesson
to be drawn from the story of
this dead town. (
There can be no growth except
ing thru cooperation, mutual in
terest and trust. We are ourselves
dead when we shut out the life
of the world -when we fail to
work in harmony with the many
up building processes about us.
We mav be very big—but the
S things about us are so much
bigger!
The story goes, that a fellow
got tanked up on booze and
thought that he was going to die,
and not feeling fully prepared to
enter the pearly gates and meet
his Redeemer and loved ones, he
thought that he had better pray
and he offered the following
prayer. 0! Lord, I have been a
mighty mean man in my 'ife. I
have done many mean things.
Lord have mercy on my poor soul
and don’t send me to hell. Lord
if you won’t forgive me, handle
me easily, for I am a mighty
heavy man.
Efforts are being made by the
Georgia Farm Bureau to secure
56,000 bushels of Georgia cow-
peas, to fill an order recently
recieved from a neighboring
state. President R. A, Kelley has
notified the county agents thru-
out th^state, apd it is expected
that the desired amount of peas
will be secured. Farmers who
have any cowpeas for sale should
get in touch immediately with
their county agents.
A Dream
I dreamed a few nights ago
that I was in a strange land, sur
rounded by all opportunities that
man could wish for. Churches,
Sunday Schools, Secret Organi
zations and Good Oi der Leagues,
to govern my moral and religious
standard. It seemed to be the
grandest apple section in the
world, all about me could be
seen the apple blossoms, in the
air was the scent of a spray solu
tion from the newly sprayed
trees. Not at all pleasant is the
odor.
Night came on while I was in
this strange land, and 1
found myself surrounded
different atmosphere, I
walking down the street
beautiful little village in
land and I saw the loafing boys
whom I judge keep the gambling
shops and the ‘blind tigers’ going
and not only did I see these boys
but now and then a business man
would show up in the gang,
DRUNK? yes or half drunk, reel
ing to and fro, sometimes on the
sidewalk and sometimes in the
street, their good mothers at
home right then asking God’s
blessings and mercy on. them. In
the air was the scent of ‘solu
tion’ (Npt spray solution) NOT
AT ALL PLEASANT IS
THE ODOR.
This little village had laws,like
most others; but as soon as the
soon
by a
was
of a
this
horizon, there seejned to be no
law, no morals, and no religion.
On all sides 1 dreamed I could
hear the BOYS cursing the offi
cers of the law, and criticising
the good order league. What‘s
the trouble? Have these officers,
and good order league members
ever spoken to these men and
boys about the way they were
living? I dreamed they had nev
er. I dreamed that they only talk
about the BOYS within the cir
cles of their own membership,
and then more in the form of
prosecution, than of “good words
and gentle means” as was sug
gested by the writer of some
four and a half centuries ago.
Alas! it was not all a dream.
Letjne whisper: —
Not at all pleasant is the odor.
•The
i Want To Give
bread that giveth strength I
1 w*nt to give (<
The water pure that bids the
thirsty live;
I want to help the fainting day. by
day;
I’m sure I shall not pass again

“I want to give the oil of joy fob

The faith to conquer crowding
doubts and fears,
Beauty for ashes may I give away;
I’m sure I shall not pass again
