“GIT ALONG, LITTLE
DOGIE”
(From Gainesville Eagle)
Unquestionably, the most popular
*ong of the past year was "The Last
Round-Up.” Being so popular, one
might be inclined to consider it of
little significance, but let’s think on
it a bit and see if some real import
may not be found therein.
A cowboy is heading for the last
round-up. He hurries the little dog
ie (a motherless calf) so as not to
be late in missing "the Boss in the
aky.” He tells those behind not to
worry or cry, for the time has come
for him to get along and finish the
last round-up.
What a New Year’s "best wish”
this contains! In fact, we can think
of none other even so much as com
paring.
"Git along, Little Dogie.” Come
on, frailties of our natures, we must
be going. Get going weaknesses of
1933, and become strengths of 1934.
Failures of 1933 prove we can profit
by experiences and become success
es of the dawning new year.
"It’s time your tears were dried.”
What must come, comes, and let’s
look at the promise rather than the
present. My last robnd-up is in
evitable and the question is not that
it is the end but how well shall I
ride. It will be the finale to some
and will “finis” be written with
glory or shame, honor or hushed
alibis?
"Where the strays will be counted
and branded.” No stray may be and
when I am branded let me be count
ed with the sheep. I have been giv
en the ability, let me develop it and
ripen it into the fruit of achieve
ment.
"There’ll be Buffalo Bill—Kit
Carson and Custer waitin’ there.”
Our way has been blazed and the
following requires only an earnest
desire to keep to the pathway.
There we shall see those who have
gone ahead and there talk of what
we did to leave behind what we left.
And for each friend we’ve left
there will be anew friend to make,
new experiences to enjoy and a fu
ture to anticipate when the old
friends head West for keeps.
“Ranch of tKe Boss in the sky.”
No one wishes that 1934 will find us
there. But 1934 will find some
gone and it might be us. And the
Ranch offers consolations no earthly
palace can ever even approximate.
Consolations that will come in pro
portion to the way we have ridden
as we ride to the last round-up.
So get along? every blessed one of
us. Tomorrow’s horizon is flushing
with anew sun in anew sky. Let
today’s promise be tomorrow’s reali
zation as we hurry our little dogies
onward and upward, higher and
higher.

COW LICKS DISCLOSES
30 SILVER COLLARS
IN GEORGIAN’S BARN
StatesboPo, Ga.—Because cows
contnued to lick a certain sill on a
barn in the lower edge of this coun
ty, more than thirty silver dollars,
bearing old dates, were discovered.
The silver dollars, dates upon
which were 1900 and older, were un
covered in -an old barn on the farm
of Inman Foy, at Adabelle. Some
ftfteeen or twenty of these coins had
corroded together and were difficult
to break apart. The coins were dis
covered by tenants who saw some
thing shining between the sills on
one side of the barn, where cows had
been licking, and which was worn
smooth by the tongues of the cows.
An investigation revealed seventeen
coins. A search was begun around
the barn, and many more coins were
discovered.
The story connected with the dis
covery of the coins is interesting.
An old darky, now dead, at one time
lived on the farm. He hid his money
for safe keeping, in the cracks of
barn and in the ground. Either he
had forgotten the money, or hid the
coins shortly before his death.
NEGRO RELIEF ASSOCIATION
A local garage had a negro boy
washing cars. He worked 70 hours
a week and got $5 a week. When the
NRA workers came around and ex
plained what he had to do to get the
Blue Eagle, the garage owner signed
up. Then he called in his help to
explain the new deal. To the car
washing negro he said:
"Mose, I can’t work you seventy
hours a week any more. From now
on you only work forty hours a
week”
Negro (pleading)—"Please, don’t
cut me down that way, boss. Ah
kain’t hardly mak a livin’ working
seventy hours a week.”
Garage Owner—" Don’t worry,
Mose. I’m going to pay you sl2 u
week for working those forty
hours."
Negro (puzzled) "Boss, how
come you gwine pay me sl2 a week
fo’ only forty hours ob work.”
Garage Owner —“The NRA tells
me I’ve go to do it.”
The dark one scratched his head
as he studied over this wonderful
change that had come over him.
Then he said, as he shuffled away:
“Boss, who done thunk up this
here Negro Relief Association?” —

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON. GEORGIA
The Best Three Things
(By Henry Van Dyke)
WORK
Let me but do my work from day to
day,
In the field or forest, at the desk
or loom,
In roaring market-place, or tran
quil room;
Let me but find it in my heart to
say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me a
stray—
“ This is my work; my blessing,
, not my doom;
Of all who live, I am the one by
whom
This work can best be done, in the
right way.”
Then shall I see it not too great, nor
small,
To suit spirit and to prove my
powers:
Then shall I cheerful greet the
laboring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the long
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and
rest,
Because I know for me my work is
best.
LIFE
Let me but live my life from year
to year,
With forward face and unreluct
ant soul,
Not hastening to, nor turning
from, the goal;
Not mourning for the things that
disappear
In the dim past, nor holding back in
fear
From what the future veils; but
with a whole .
And happy heart, that pays its toll
To Youth and Age, and travels on
with cheer:
So let the way wind up the hill or
down,
Through rough or -smooth, the
journey will be joy;
Still seeking what 'I sought when
but a boy,
New friendship,, high adventure, and
a crown, *
I shall grow old but never lost life’s
zest,
Because the road’s last turn will be
best.
LOVE
Let me but love my love without dis
guise,
Nor wear a mask of fashion old or
new,
Nor wait to speak till I can hear a
clue,
Nor play a part to shine in others’
eyes,
Nor bow my knees to what my heart
denies;
But what I am, to let me be true,
And let me worship what my love
is due,
And so through love and worship let
me rise:
For love is but the heart’s immortal
thirst
To be completely known and all
forgiven
Even as sinful souls that come to
heaven;
So take me, love, and understand my
worst,
And pardon it, for love, because
confessed,
And let men find in thee, my love,
my best.
A GOOD LAW
After about four years of opera-1
ton, the Maine law against hitch
hiking is declared effective and ben
eficial by fhe chief of the state’s
highway police, although not a single
prosecution has been necessary.
The law forbids any person on a
public highway to "endeavor by
words, gestures or otherwise to beg
or secure transportation in any mo
tor vehicle not engaged in carrying
passengers for hire, unless said per
son knows the driver thereof or any
passenger therein.” An exception is
made in case of sickness of an emer
gency nature. Maximum punish
ment for a violation of the law is
SSO fine or thirty days in jail.
Hitch hikers are a nuisance to mo
torists, and many cases are on rec
ord in which persons soliciting a lift
have robbed and even murdermi
those who thus befriended them. On
the other hand, most kindly disposed
persons would willingly give an hon
est pedestrian a ride if there were
any way to distinguish him from the
other kind.
In this matter, as in so many
others, a vicious minority seems to
make necessary a law w-hich imposes
a hardship on those who have no
wrong intentions. Law or no law,
it is safer not to pick up the un
known hitch hiker.—Elberton Star.

ELECTRIC COOKING
for only two cents a meal
Mrs. Brown’s electric bill has been averaging about $5.00
a month. She has an electric refrigerator, her only large
appliance. But there arc other uses she would like to make
of her electric service. Listen while a power company rep
resentative explains how satisfactorily she can do it.
■ MRS. BROWN—“Since we got olir elec
tric refrigerator about a year ago our
first large appliance our bill has been
averaging around $5.00 a month. I re
member that it was $4.97 last month.
Will the new rates reduce it?”
■ REPRESENTATIVE—“They certainly
will. The same amount of electricity that
cost you $4.97 last month will drop to
$4.57, a reduction of 40 cents a month.
Not only that, but the new rate entitles
you to use 31 kilowatt hours MORE elec
tricity, absolutely FREE.”
■ MRS. BROWN—“How do I get that
free electricity?”
■ REPRESENTATIVE—“SimpIy by
USING it. You get it free, any month
when you use more electricity than you
used the same month in 1933. You get
that and your reduction, too. In this case,
it amounts to one-third MORE electricity
for 40 cents LESS money.”
■ MRS. BROWN—“That certainly sounds
interesting. But how do you suggest that
I use my free electricity ?”
■ REPRESENTATIVE—“My first sug
gestion, Mrs. Brown, is more lighting. It
adds to the beauty of the home and, of
course, it’s the best safeguard against
eye-strain.”

can I tell if they are getting enough
light?”
■ REPRESENTATIVE—“That’s one
problem we can help you solve, Mrs.
Brown. The Company has recently organ
ized a Home Lighting division composed
of young ladies who have made a study
of the science of correct lighting. Their
services are available to any of our cus
tomers without charge. Shall I have one
of them come to see you?”
■ MRS. BROWN—“Please do. Now tell
me how much an electric range would in
crease my electric bill.”
■ REPRESENTATIVE—“I can only es
timate that, of course, on the average
amount of electricity used by ranges in
homes already using them. On that basis,
you could add an electric range to your
present appliances and the extra elec
tricity would cost you only about $1.35 a
month more than you have been paying.
You would then be getting more than
TWICE as much electricity, but the in
crease in your monthly bill over what it
has been in the past would be less than
ONE-THIRD.”
■ MRS. BROWN—“That would make my
cost of cooking by electricity only about
two cents a meal.”
■ REPRESENTATIVE—“Yes. The new
rates are so low no one need wait any
longer to begin cooking electrically.”
