BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY PARTY
One of the most beautiful parties
of the vacation season was given by
Mrs. E. M. MvDonald, at her home
on Lawrencevilie street, honoring her
attractive young daughter, Sara
Frances.
The guests, who were about forty
of the younger set, were received by
Sara Frances, who asked them to go
to the. Register Table, vfhich was
presided over by Miss Mary Ruth
Wills.
Misses Frances Turner and Mary
Alice McDonald served delicious
punch from a most attractively de
corated tabic. .The color scheme of
rainbow colors was carried out most
effectively in the reception hall,
living room and dining room, the
lights beinjt shaded with vari-colored
shades, which cast a soft glo.w
throughout the house. Baskets and
of lovely roses adorned the
and hdded to the festive ap
pearance of everything.
I Much interest centered in the
games played on the lawn. Mrs.
John Braselton and Miss Lillian Wills
j proved excellent games leaders.
After two hours of continual mer
riment, the guests were invited in
to the dining room. In the center of
I the table, which was covered with a
I linen table colth, was the birthday
cake, with eleven candles of differ
ent colors on it. From the chandelier
j vari-colored streamers were suspend
ied to the table, making a lovely pic
ture with the young folks gathered
around it.
The young hostess cut the first
slice of cake, and as others follow
ed, Thopias McElhannon cut the ring,
Merle Kinningham the button, Hary
McDonald the dime, and Ruth Nix
the thimble.
Many beautiful gifts were given
in token of the eleventh birthday of
the honoree. Blocked ice cream and
cake, which completed the color
scheme, were served, and every one
departed, feeling greatly indebted to
the young hostess and her mother for
such a happy occasion.

“CHICKENS COME
HOME TO ROOST”
In 1904 there arose in the ninth
district of Georgia; a man by the
name of Tom Bell, who began to
proclaim to the people the dangers
of long tenure in the congressional
office.
He was on the outside, wanting to
get in.
The incumbent of that office then
had served twelve years.
How could the voters tolerate
longer such a thing so hazardous to
the interests of a democratic people!
The Constitution of the United
States must be changed. Make the
term of office of re-election effective
after the second term. In order
that the welfare of the country be
protected and promoted, allow no
man to remain in congress longer
than eight years.
These things advocated Tom Bell
twenty-two years ago, when he was
“on the outside looking in.”
And the majority said “Amen.”
It put Tom Bell in Congress.
After he got in, Tom Bell, the
congressman, began to see things dif
ferently from Tom Bell, the candi
date. He lost his ardor for short
tenure in office for congressmen.
Can a principle ever change?
What makes long service in con
gress less dangerous with Tom in
than with Tom out?
O, consistency, it has been truly
said, thou art a jewel.
Thou art to be desired more than
gold, yea, than much fine gold.
Thou art also more precious than
the congressional office.
But what saith Tom?
Years ago he said, “I am ready
to quit when every qualified person
in the ninth district will forego their
(institutional right, and give me
one term with opposition.”
Isn’t this demand unjust?
It unsound in principle.
Our forefathers were too wise to
write it in our Constution.
If no one is to be retired from
office until given a term without op
position, then democracy is a farce.
Where is the politician who, under
such a system, would run withojt
opposition?
Tf no one on his own' initiative
would run, the incumbent could
someone as long as he desired of
fice; which in many cases, would
be for life.
Who could plead such an argument
except for self-interest?
It is quite different from that ad
vocated by Tom Bell in 1904.
There is a law in the universe
which roads: “For whatsoever a man
soveth, tjjat shall he also reap.”
Th n harvest is often delayed, but
it is certain as death.
Tern Bell beat Carter Tate twen
ty-two years ago in “anti-long-ten
ure of office” campaign.’ It appears
now that the same Medicine will be
administered to him in as great if
(not greater proportion.
It is an old saying that “chickens
! come home to roost.” •
Unless- all signs fail, Tom Be>.’.
hatch will come in on September Bth,
1926.
And a new encouragement will
come to the school boys of the dis
trict. It will not sound so empty to
be told of the possibility of thjir

EVERYBODY INVITED
J. C. SIMS PRAISES BELL FOR
FURNISHING HIM BED
You will see where J. C. Sims
praises Congressman Bell for giving
him his bed in Atlanta a quarter of
a century ago. What was Mr. Bell
doing on the streets of Atlanta at
12 o’clock at night with a bed? Mr.
Bell seems to have*been more accom
modating then than now, because at
this time he does not want any one
in the Ninth District to occupy the
government bed he has been using
for twenty-two years. This bed costs
the people SIO,OOO a year. Carter
Tate put up with a bed twelve years
that only co3t $5,000. Mr. Bell said
in hu speeches that twelve years
was long enough to use such a bed.
So the people turned it over to him.
Then the price of this bed was
raised to $7,000. Now it is ten thou
sand. Didn’t he vote for the raise?
He has been using it nearly twice
as long as Mr. Tate did.—Dahlonega
