Does He Smoke Cigarettes?
The farther we become advanced in
life, the more thoroughly we become
convinced that cigarette smoking
among the people, particularly the
younger people, is very injurious. We
have always known, only by observa
tion, however, that many a fine youth
has been physically and everlastingly
wrecked in both body and mind, by
excessive cigarette smoking, but not
until recent years have we obtained
a knowledge of the fact so clearly as
along about now, that individuals and
firms, colleges and high schools are
giving such thought to the salvation
of the boys and girls from the fear
ful habit. Why should they ask of
applicants for positions if they smoke
cigarettes? If the smoking of them
qualifies them for the filling of po
sitions of responsibility—making
them apt, proficient and honorable —
why don’t they say in publishing
their “want” ads, “We want onei who
smokes.”

Judge Nix is receiving the congrat
ulations of his many friends on his

ing that he will make a faithful and
honest judge. Col. Cooley is also

(From Gwinnett Journal)
Judge Nix is one of the foremost
lawyers in northeast Georgia, and is
a veteran legislator, having served
several terms both in the house and
senate. He has had a number of
years of successful practice at the
bar, and is well qualified to fill this
important position. Jackson superior
court adjourned to meet Monday
! morning anticipating the appoint
ment of anew judge and solicitor,
but Judge Nix decided that a legal
question could be raised over the
using of the old jury, and will draw
anew jury before holding court at
Jefferson. Judge Nix will probably
hold his first court as circuit judge
in Lawrenceville, his home town, be
ginning the first Monday in Septem
ber. Col. Cooley is also well known
in Lawrenceville and is one of the
ablest attorneys in this section.

TWO JACKSON COUNTY
OFFICES CONSOLIDATED
Just at this time when the tenden
cy is towards creating new offices,
| it comes as a surprise that two should
I be consolidated without any objec
| tion on the part of the office holders.
A telephone message from the State
capitol on Tuesday announced the
fact that Jackson’s representatives in
the legislature had passed a law con
solidating the offices of clerk of the
superior court and clerk of the city
court. Mr. E. H. Crooks holds the
former office, and Mr. Ned Pender
grass the latter, and we presume the
law has their approval, as no fight
was made to prevent the consolida
tion. The law takes effect January
first, 1925.
Miss Ethel Austin of Winder spent
last week in Jefferson, the guest of
Miss Johnnie Lou Garner.
