COIN ’ER FISHIN’
The Gainesville Engle writes ten
derly on “Fishin' time will soon be
here” when the barefoot boy, with
meaKer equipment, a can of bait and
old Rover at his side, who conjures
up as lurid a picture of anticipated
catch as the most expert wielder of
the rod and reel, meet caste upon
neutral ground. It is upon the banks
of creeks that pride and nobility is
humble, the meek and low, meet un
der the canopy of God’s heaven to
done away with, where they rick and
mix and rub shoulders in a common
cause —just, goin* fishin'—indeed, a
magical and alluring term.
The vcr> extremes of humanity
meet on the bank of a fishing stream
and they immediately become broth
ers. It is God’s plan—a getting
bark to nature, u closer communion
of fellow beings. And whether our
efforts meet with success or not—
whether we retrace our footsteps
homeward toward right with Vary
a proof of our efforts or a satisfy
ing string of speckled beauties, does
not signify that knowledge of the
art is paramount; indeed persever
ance may come in for a goodly
share of the honor. The element
of luck—that fickle goodess of
chance—m.y have also played a
part. Remember this:
Oh it’s lovely when they’re striking
And they’re hungry and they’re
fine;
And they strike and keep on striking
On your hook and on your line.
But the chap who’s worth the prais
ing,
One who’s kept the record right;
2s the chap who keeps on fishin'
When—the—fish—don’t--bite.

FLIM FLAMERS GET $l2O
FROM A DAWSON NEGRESS
Two strange negroes who made a
successful getaway before their iden
tity could be learned left Dawson
enriched by $l2O.
Approaching Cora Johnson, neg
ress, they showed her a purse which
they said contained $2,000, claiming
they found it in the street. To prove
their assertion they withdrew some
bills, which were sufficient proof to
convince the victim of their hotiesty.
She readily gave them her savings
for a share in the contents of the
purse, and they left with the money
to go up town and divide the amount
into three parts and return with the
woman’s share. Thus far nothing
itas been heard of them and the
promised riches. The negress has
no way of identifying the two
swindlers.—Dawson News.

WILL THE SUMMER MONTHS SEE
AN END OF THE DEPRESSION?
Arthur Brisbane says the world
is wondering why it takes so long
for normal conditions to return, and
adds:
“A nick man wonders why it takes
so long to get well. He must pa
tiently wait for time to undo the
unwise things he has done.
"A student of past depressions,
all the way back to the beginning of
the last century, may find comfort in
the fact that 15 of them, every one
of them major depressions, has
vfU K-ncd and made way for pros
perity, cither in June or July, not in
any other month.
"The question is, will it be June
or July, 1931, or 1-32, or later?
“Prosperity returns in one of the
two months named, because those
are the crop months. The winter
wheat is in, corn and other crops are
assured.
"Billions of new wealth from the
soil are in sight, and it is real wealth
created by the farmers’ hard work.
No speculation there.
"Fortunately for the nation, the
outlook for this year’s crops are
marvelously good—they have never
been better.
“A year ago conditions were
promising, and a revival seemed a
bout to start, but then came the
drouth and hope was deferred. The
Lord tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb. Some of us have been shorn
pretty close since October, 1929.
It is reasonable to hope that no
drouth will visit us this year.
“And the crops, even without fan
tastic prices, will be worth in the
neighborhood of twelve billions of
dollars, two billions more than the
amount we lent to Europeans that
they might continue cutting each
other’s throat.”
It appears that the movement to
consolidate counties comes more
from those who wish to absorb. We
don’t think much of a general con
solidation of counties. One of the
great problems for our future con
sideration is the preservation of com
munity life. The consolidation of
counties would of course cause more
remote county seats. In this re
vision there would be a consolida
tion of people around county seats
and a tendency to sparsely settled
sections furthest from the county
seat And another thing, we can’t
see that the bigger counties in Geor
gia have so much lower tax rate than
the smaller counties. There nre
some few counties in the state that
should merge. But as a general
policy, we can’t see the wisdom of
,t.—Lavonia Times.
REV. M. L. SEABBOLT
OF BANKS COUNTY
DIES, WELL KNOWN
Commerce, Ga.—Rev. M. L. Sea
bolt, a minister in the Baptist
church, died at his home in Banks
county Wednesday morning. The
funeral was held Thursday after
noon at Blacks Creek Baptist church,
near Commerce, Ga. The services
were held by Rev. George Wallano
of Lula, and Rev. P. M. Webb, pas
tor of Madison Street Baptist
church, Commerce.
The following sons and daughters

KILL THE RAT
Kill the rat: This trite advice
probably will become as familiar as
“Swat the fly,” which has become
the battle cry of the war on typhoid.
Now comes typhus fever, or as
we know it in this country, Brill’s
typhus, which is sort of a second
cousin to the malady familiar to
students of old-world history. Brill’s
typhus is a growing menace in
southeastern United States, and
there is far too much of it in Geor
gia for comfort, according to reports
of ouj; State Board of Health.
Unlike the old-world typhus .which
was caused chiefly by an almost uni
versal disregard of Saturday night
baths and which was spread by con
sequent body lice, Brill’s typhus has
been proven by public health ex
periments and research to be com
municated through fleas from rats.
Destruction of the slithery and
objectionable rat, according to Dr.
R. T. Sellers, will serve to eliminate
the principal known method of
communication of this disease as
well as to conserve millions of dol
lars worth of grain and food sup
plies these scavengers destroy an
nually.

IF you hold out any longer from buying your
side-dressing, you may find it too late for
your crops to take full benefit from the fertil
izer. You may also find it hard to get it in time.
I’ve still got a good supply of Chilean Nitrate
of Soda on hand. But it’s not going to last very
long the way they’re buying it just now.
IF you wait too long before side-dressing,
you’ll only be delaying harvest time and you
• won’t get the big yields you should. With
Chilean Nitrate selling at the lowest price in
years, there’s no saving in waiting until the
last moment. Get your Chiftan —the natural
nitrate —NOW. Then there’ll be no delay in
putting out your fertilizer when crops need it
' most. In the new 100 lb. bags that stay in good
shape, you’ll find Chilean keeps in better con
dition. But be sure to insist on “Chilean” when
you order your nitrate. It is the real thing ...
the real original “SODA.” Remember the two
kinds Original Chilean (Crystalline) and
Champion Brand (Granulated) both natural
