The cell cages have been painted, and the walls of the Jailor’s corridors white washed within the last year. Sanitary mattress covers are now in use, which protects the mattresses •nd saves money. Some repairing to the roof and the first floor and some cementing, are Heeded. When that is accomplished, the Jackson county jail will be class ed among the Ideal Jails of Georgia. Reporter. . . ....

Hastings) In a middle Georgia county the other day, as reported in a news story, a farmer complained about the high price of hogs. “Last week,” said the report, a Blank county farmer, who made fif teen bales of 11-cent cotton, com plained to this writer because the price of hogs-on-the-hoof is so high— ‘out of all reason; enough to break a man,’ is the way he expressed it. Asked, in astonishment, why he, a farmer, should grumble about the high price of hogs, his answer was that he had to buy the winter supply of meat for himself and large family.” This farmer, a tenant farmer, by the way, had raised a crop of cot ton ; still he was beset with the prob lem of feeding his family. His problem is Georgia’s outstand ing problem—feeding the family. We can’t solve it by raising cot ton, or any other one crop. Georgia must difersify. She must feed herself. Instead of being a consumer of pork, beef, eggs and dairy products of the states north and west, where agronomic and cli matic conditions are not nearly so propitious for the production of those commodities as they are here, we must produce them at home. The average Georgia farmer still kicks because hogs are high! He feels hard-done-to because he has to pay so much for his bacon, the eggs and cheese and butter that he needs for his family table! That is the truth, and that is the incongruous situation that obtains in Georgia. That is the situation, and it needs a remedy. As I see it, the remedy is a general system of diversification of farm crops, and the curtailment of cotton growing except where cotton can be intensively grown to the amount of upwards of a bale to the acre. • •••••• •• •• * CENTER GROVE • • ♦**** **♦• * There wasn’t many out at Sun day school and B. Y. P. U. Sunday and Sunday night, on account of the inclement weather. Misses Monteene and Ethyleene | Perry gave Misses Annie and Gay j nelle Crook a pop call Saturday af ternoon. Miss Mary Poole spent the week end with home folks of near Har mony. Mr. Herbert Holman of near Ran dolph’s Hall spent Saturday night with Mr. and Mrs. Guy Crook. Mrs. J. A. Griffith and daughter, Daisy, spent Sunday at Cornelia, the guests of relatives. Mr. Boyd Tolbert of Gainesville spent the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Tolbert. Several from here attended the party given at Miss Robbie White’s, near Dry Pond, Saturday night, and reported a nice time. The singing given at the home of Mr. W. T. Langford was highly en joyed by a large crowd. The party given at the home of Misses Annie and Gaynelle Crook, Monday night, was enjoyed to the fullest extent by a large crowd. The young folks declared the Misses Crook, assisted by Miss Mary Poole, to be most excellent entertainers. Joy was ours from the time we en tered the home until we left. But we had one sad thought, that of knowing that it was the last time that Mr. U. C. Hale and Mr. Royce Langford would be with us for quite a bit, as they left for Sanford, Fla., Tuesday. We wish them much suc cess in their new home. “NOTHING DOING” Frequently you pick up a local paper, and after glancing over it wearily, thrust it aside, remarking, “Nothing in the paper this week.” Did you ever stop to think what that phrase—nothing in the paper, means? It means that in the week just pass ed no misfortune has befallen the community, that no fire has wiped out a neighbor’s worldly goods; that the grim angel of death has crossed no threshold of a friend; that no man driven by liquor, hatred or fear has taken the life of a fellow human; that no poor devil, haunted by the past or the misdeeds of some other; has cross ed the divide by his own hand. Think about it.—Calhoun Times. 4-H CLUB NOTES At the beginning of the year the Home Demonstration Council offer led a SIO.OO prize to the girls* club , making the highest record during the year.

DOZIER BANKS’ SUPERINTENDENT In state capitol circles, it is gen erally expected that Governor Walk er will appoint James H. Dozier, the present tax commissioner, to succeed T. R. Bennett as state bank superin tendent when the latter’s resignation becomes effective about the first of the year. And it is also expected in capitol circles that John Wilson, executive secretary to the governor, will be named to suceed Mr. Dozier as tax commissioner. No confirmation of these rumors can be had, as the governor has made no announcement concerning his plans for naming a successor for State Bank Examiner Bennett. 283 RABIES ARE BORN AT WESLEY HOSPITAL WARD DURING THE YEAR During the year 283 babies have been born at the Lucy Elizabeth maternity ward of the Wesley Me morial hospital, Miss Bell Mclntosh, supervisor of the department, states.

Ford And His Five-Day Program Few of us are able to make a liv ing working six days in the week, ( and now comes along one of the greatest business men of the age and insists that we need a five-day work , ing week, because, first, it is good j business; and, second, with two days of weekly leisure, more people will go to church. The new week that Ford sees com ing comprises: Monday to Friday, inclusive, labor. Saturday, recreation. Sunday, religious devotion. Both physical and spiritual recre ation, he declares, are essential to the perpetuation of the human race. People of today have stressed the! physical to the neglect of the spirit-1 nal. In the “squirrel cage-round of work and recreation which they have devised they have left no place for the church.” The solution of the probelm of spiritual development lies in greater leisure. The five-day week provides the opportunity for physical recreation on the sixth day and leaves the sev enth free for moral and religious ob servance. No one should be more jealous in his insistence upon the preservation of Sunday than the workingman. The church will receive rewards from new leisure commensurate with the force it exerts in directing the intelligent use of it. “The five-day week has been con sidered heretofore largely in the cold light of business. It is good business; but it is just as sound from the spir itual standpoint. The church will be one of its chiefest beneficiaries. “The commonest excuse moat peo ple give for not going to church is lack of time. Like most excuses it has in it a grain of truth. Life, as some may view it, is divided into two parts; one, the co-ordinated expend ing of human faculties, called work; the other, the rebuilding of those faculties, called recreation. “Recreation does not necessarily mean play. Its basic meaning is to impart new vigor, to refresh after labor. But in the recreative pro cesses these men have given an un due importance to play. They have stressed the physical to the neglect of spiritual. In the squirrel-cage round of work and recreation which they have devised, they have left no place for the church. “Men need contact with nature. They need the vigor that is imparted by treading fresh-turned earth. They need to watch the common, every-day miracles of nature as they unfold in the open country. But they need more than these. They need contact with the spiritual. They need the guiding influence of the church. Both physical and spiritual recreation are essential to the perpetuation of the race. “Unfortunately when men are forced to make a choice between the two, many are prone to choose the former. It is a regrettable trait, but one which must be faced. “The solution lies in greater leis ure. People’s minds expand and their sense of a fuller life grows stronger during their leisure hours. Culture is a product of leisure. "The five-day week provides the opportunity for physical recreation on the sixth day and leaves the sev enth free for moral and religious ob servance. It helps restore the Sab bath to its former high ’place. It means larger attendance at church. “A great philosopher has said that religion is the conservation of values. It is more than that. It is the bul wark of the people. No one should be more jealous in his insistence up on the preservation of Sunday than the workingman.” UNIVERSITY BREAKS ATTENDANCE RECORD Athens, Ga.—Enrollment at the University of Georgia now stands at 1,518, as compared with 1,382 at the same time last year, or an increase of 136 students, T..

Vol. 51. No. 30. Let Us Be Thankful The entire nation is today cele brating Thanksgiving, a day set apart to give thanks for our blessings and to remember our mercies. No matter under what conditions we live, and what our circumstances may be, we all have much to be thankful for; therefore, let us forget our troubles, 'and remember our mercies. The first Thanksgiving was Dec. 13th, 1621, celebrated by the Pil grims, who that year harvested a bountiful crop on their strip of bar ren land. This was a great blessing to these troubled and starved peo ple, but let us pause to consider how multiplied are our blessings and com forts as compared with theirs. The next Thanksgiving was July 30th, 1623. It was not until the administration of President Abraham Lincoln that the custom of observing the last Thursday in November was begun. In our thankfulness, we should remember our dependence on our Maker. Along with our gratitude there must be a spirit of humility. We must not forget our absolute de pendence upon God, realizing that everything we have and all the bles* ings we enjoy come from Him. Individually and nationally we have much to be thankful for, and a few moments of thought will disclose am ple reason for gratitude. Whatever our troubles are, they might he worse. Most of us get more than we deserve. If \\. could see a daily balance shoct of our credits and debits as our Master sees them, we would undoubtedly feel sin cere gratitude for what we have been spared. THANKSGIVING Thank God for His favors. Abundant and deep— The days for our striving. The nights for our sleep. The treasures He gives ua All through the hour*, The gleam of the sunlight. The perfume of flowers. The song of the wildbirds In spring’s lovely ways. The beauties and wonders: We see through the days. The laughter of childhood. The home hearth’s bright glow. The sweet ties of kinship, Friends whom we know. The harvest so bounteous That grows in our field. Filling our barns With generous yield. Thank God for His favors— Today we bow low And whisper our thanks For the gifts that we know. BOLTON ACCADEMY Mr. Seagraves of Madison county visited Mr. W. C. Glenn, Tuesday.
