(From DahloTsega Nugget)
We have just Itearned of a right
funny thing that happened recently
to one of the old time country
preachers who lives only a few miles
from Dahlonega in a house with no
ceiling. He tw fixing to go out to
start up a meeting, and by prayer
was asking the Lord for the usual
help called Pot on such occasions,
and after sending up an order for a
few special things, asked the Lord
to send what he thought would put
new life in the home. Down fell a
big black snake rn the floor that had
lost its hold and fell while chasing
a rat up in the loft. To see the
jump that preacher made out inix
the yard, looked impossible. Since
that time this preacher has prayed
with open eyes, and very partictftar
about the order off ’blessings he lays
in to be fified.

Mr. Roy Chambers says a lady liv

relatives in Texas inform her that
a law has been passed in that state
prohibiting the singing of that old
familiar song, “It Ain’t Goin Rain

drying up, anti. the people believe It
is because of the song, and that this
state should take similar steps. She
says if we don’t do something we
will dry up with the crop.
It is everybody’s privilege in this
country to abuse public men, from a
distance. Generally, the greater the
man, the more the abuse. Woodrow
Wilson and Hoke Smith, for instance.
It was heaped upon Geo. Washing
ton while he was living, and every
man in public life since George’s
day, who has done anything, and ma
ny who have not, has cwme in for
his share of abuse; and not one in a
hundred who have furnished the
abuse could have done hadf so well
as the victim of this wrath, t When a
’nan gets a high office which carries
appointive power, the mob camps on
his heels for favors. All can not
be accommodated, so his enemy list
begins to grow. A disappointed of

JACKSON COUNTY FARMERS
WHO PLANT ALFALFA TO
HAVE EXPERT ADVICE
Plans for a campaign to establish
alfalfa on North Georgia farms were
completed in Athens Saturday, when
twelve special agents of the State
College of Agriculture were assigned
to counties to assist farmers in the
production of this important hay
crop. Agents already located in coun
ties have been instructed to aid in
every w r ay possible in getting a large
acreage sown this fall, and help make
alfalfa one of the main money crops
of section.
Mr. Oscar Woody was selected to
assist the farmers of Jackson and
Banks counties- Mr. Woody was in
the city Monday, and, commenting
on the subject, said:
“Alfalfa is the most valuable hay
crop that can be grown in Georgia,
and it is well adapted to the red soils
of Jackson county.
“It should not be JrecesSary for
Georgia farmers to bay alfalfa hay
that was grown in Kansas, Nebras
ka, or other middle-western states.
Georgia raft grow alfalfa hay that is
! almost m quite equal! to that grow n
in any tether section 'of the .counibry.
The yield is also quite as good in
this section as anywhere else ia ‘the
country.
“There should be no competition
between alfalfa and the other com
mon hay crops grown in this section
as a source of feed stuffs, *s the
production per acre from alfalfa is
usually twice the amount of that pro
duced by any other hay crop. And
in addition to this, the quality iff the
alfalfa hay that can be produced in
this section is second to that of no
other hay grown here. On soil that
is suited to its growth, and that is in
a productive condition, alf*SsFa will
produce a growth of as much as
twelve feet in a single season. Where
such a growth as this can be 'obtain
ed, and the stand is good, a yield of
five tons to the ‘acre will be obtained.
“It is now and proper time to se
hrxh the sites and prepare the land
for alfalfa plan ing. With ;£bi rains
coming on, it should be the business
of every farmer who expects to plant
alfalfa this fall, to get his -soil Teady
and his seeds sown as soon as possi
ble, so that the young plants can get
*;g*<od start bdlore winter comes on.
Although spring plantings some time
prove successful in this section, it is
advisable to plant alfalfa in ‘the fall,
as much better results will be ob
tained.”
Mr. Woody will be located in Jef
ferson during the week 'beginning
July 6. He will be in his office on
Saturday. Drop by afid see him, cr
write him at any time. He is whol

WANTS FIVE DAY LAW
REPEALED
Atlanta.—“ Rob marriage of its ro
mance, surround it with the spotlight
of publicity and commercialism and
take away the sacred and tender sen
timental secrecy of it, and marriage
loses final which makes for the pre
servation of the fabric of society,”
says Hon. Walter Steed, one of the
best known of the returned members
of the Legislature.
“1 am going to ask the Legislature
this smmmeT to repeal that very com
mercial and very cold ffive day’ law
which advertises to the world what
would he the Tomance of the young
couple if it were not for this law. I
do not believe the law has served one
bit to retard any of the marriages
that ought nert. to be performed. I do
bel&ve, and Iknow from reliable in
formation, that it has driven couples
over the border-lines into other sta
tes, rather than submit to the pro
vision of five days’ advertisement of
their intention to get married'.
“One consideration which has been
presented to me is that this as I
think unnecessary and unavailing law
has taken the fees away from the
border-county ordinaries; has driven
the record of -marriages out of the
state, and has served to set up more
of a disposition to get outside the
pale of a law within out state.
“I want to sec it done away with,
and I am going to put in a bill to
repeal it.”

FREE DIAGNOSIS AND TREAT
MENT AT WESLEY MEMO
RIAL HOSPITAL
Beginnirig on Thursday of this
week, Wesley Memorial Hospital, At
lanta, will begin free of charge ex
pert diagnosis and treatment to all
Georgians in need of such service
and unable to pay.
A clinic capable of caring for one
hundred patients a day will be open
ed at the hospital, and will be eri
larged as occasion requires. Physi
cians from the faculty of the Emory
School of Medicine will be in charge,
giving time, talent and skill without
price. Moreover, medicines, sup
plies, laboratory tests and X-ray ex
aminations will be furnished at cost.
Patients availing themselves of this
opportunity will not be boarded at
the hospital, it is announced—and as
a matter of course that could not be
done with existing facilities and re
sources. But living accommodations
will be procurable nearby, so that
persons from a distance can take ad
vantage of this most charitable offer.
Patients will, of course, have to pay
for their living accommodations. On
ly the work of the physicians will b®
free, but people in meager circum
stances, who are in need of opera
tions, and are unable to pay a sur
geon, will find this a great saving.
