By Holder & Williamson EXCHANGE NOTES New* Items Of Interest Among Our Neighbors. And Friends Painting The Toe Nails, Too (From Dahlonega Nugget) It has been the custom for many years for girls to paint their face and their finger nails, but we saw one the other day with her toe nails painted, and she didn't have off her shoes, either. She was walking down the street with open sandals on, and the toe of her stocking out so her painted nails could be seen. Soap and water is the best polish we ever tried for feet and toes. Should Keep Dogs On Own Premises Some dogs have recently met death by being on the wrong man’s property. Now, this is very much like an accident in which the person getting killed, was on the wrong side of the road. .There is nothing you can do about it. People who keep dogs should keep them on their own property, as they do their hogs and cows, or else abide by what happens if they go pilfering on other people’s property. We saw recently, where a man was shot dead in another man’s back yard at night. The ver dict was, “We, the jury, find the de fendant not guilty.” Sam Minish Dies In Madison County (From Commerce News) Mr. Sam A.

Eight of the ten congressmen voted with the successful majority ni the house, while Senators George and Russell also disagreed with the President on this issue. The roll call in the house showed the following Georgia congressmen voting to override the veto: Brown, Castellow, Deen, Owen, Peterson, Ramspeck, Vinson and Whelchel. Congressmen Gox and Tarver voted to sustain the veto.

GOSSETT AND SON BOUND OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT Commitment trial of Mr. Bill Gos sett and son, Lannis, charged with the murder of Mr. Charlie H. Bry ant, w'as heard in the court house in Jefferson on Thursday before Jus tices J. W. Sailors of Commerce, Guy Srtickland of Jefferson, and L. W T .

According to the testimony, the Gossett and Bryant families lived in the same residence; Young Gossett and Bryant engaged in a row, and the former struck the latter over the head with a piece of iron. The elder Gossett appeared on the scene with ; a gin, which he fired at Bryant,! causing his death. t j BEER LICENSING MACHINE SET UP IN STATE CAPITOL Machinery was set up at the State Capitol Saturday for handling the rush applicants for beer licenses. R. E. Matheson, in charge of the cigar and cigarette tax division, with offices on the main floor adjacent to the state treasury, announced that he would use largely the same set-up that has been handling cigar and cigarette taxes to handle the beer licenses. Commissioner Matheson pointed out that all applicants for brewery and wholesale licenses must be ready to post the required bond of $5,000 in cash or bonds of the United States, the- state of Georgia, some subdivis ion of the state, or a surety com pany licensed to do business in this state, subject to the approval of the commission. Brewers must pay a license fee of SI,OOO to the state, wholesalers must pay SSOO, and retailers $lO Brewers selling to retailers direct must also pay a wholesalers’ license upon each place of business. The bonds are required to guaran tee the payment of the excise tax of $1.25 per barrel upon beer, and any retailer who buys from a brewer or a wholesaler who has not made tho $5,000 bond must put it up himself. The State Department of Law has not ruled on two questions that have been presented to it in connection with the beer act. One is as to the constitutional authority of the State School Department 'to buy school books for free distribution to pupils out of tha proceeds of the beer tax. The act allocated 97 per cent of the total revenue to the purchase of school books, and gave 3 per cent to the State Revenue Commission for administration. The other question raised is as to the authority of county and city gov ernments to refuse to license the sale of beer in their jurisdictions. The act provides that “no business provided in this act shall be conduct ed in any county or incorporated municipality of this state without a permit from the governing authority of such county or municipality, which said authority is hereby given dis cretionary powers as to the granting or refusal of such permits.” Some state officials construe this section of the act as a provision for local option and hbld that the au thorities can refuse to periqit the sale of beer in the 96 counties which voted against legalizing beer in the recent referendum. PAVE ROUTE 15 A movement to obtain part of Georgia's $20,000,000 federal high way fund for the purpose of pav ing U. S. Route 15, which extends from the mountains of north Geor gia to Florida was set on foot recent ly by the Clarke County Board of Commissioners. At the meeting of the board, Joel A. Wier, secretary of the chamber of commerce asked that the board assist in* urging members of con gress from the districts served by Route 15, to use their influence to ward using some of Georgia’s share _of the highway fund to pave the route. The board authorized Commission er J. H. Griffcth, who is president of Route Fifteen Association and Tate Wright, clerk of the board and sec retary of the association to write Congressmen Paul Brown of the I Tenth and Frank Whelchel of the Ninth distrirt asking their aid and the matter wil lalso be taken up with citiens all along the highway with the aim of obtaining the support of members of the Georgia delegation. Secretary Wier said that Route Fifteen is one of five north-south highways in Georgia, two of which are paved. Atlanta is served by the two routes that are paved. He pointed out that Athens and other towns along the route will be bene fitted to a large extent if the high way is paved throughout. The route from Knoxville to Jacksonville is sixty miles shorter than other north south routes, he declared. BONNELL H.

COMMENCEMENT Martin Institute Closes School Term With Interesting Programs, Thir ty-Seven In Graduating Class. With the delivery on Tuesday evening of diplomas to thirty-seven high school boys and girls, many of whom had spent the past eleven years within the school room, Mar tin Institute brought to a dost! an interesting series of commencement programs and a year of successful achievements. The diplomas were delivered by Mr. M. M. Bryan, Chair man of the City Board of Education, to the following: | Misses Irene Brooks, Marjorie Daniel, Lucile Doss, Neta Elder, Louise Hale, Sarah Hanson, Billie Hardy, Kathryn Hop kjni, Martha "Howard, Myrtle How ard, Hazel Johnson. Carrinu Kirk, Hazel Langford, Myrl Logan, Nancy Moore, Emma Nell Nunn, June Potts, Norene Potts, Edith Rankin, Regina Sims, Melba White; Messrs. Durwood Bennett, Sam Dean Ben nett, Amos Caldwell, J. T. Cato, Claud Culberson, Edd Doss, Z. J. Ful ler, Cecil Hancock, Herbert Hudgins, Lyndon Hilift, Jesse Murphy, Harold Purcell, Raymond Rigdon, James Roberts, Clarence Sheridan, Garnett Spratlin. | First honor was awarded to Gar nett Spratlin, and second honor to Miss Emma Nell Nun, who deliver ed the valedictory and salutatory ad dresses. Preceding the awarding of the diplomas, Hon. John S. Wood of Canton, former ninth district repre sentative in congress, delivered the baccalaureate address to the gradu ating class and an assemblage of citizens that filled the large auditor ium. His address was a literary gem, and was heard with much in terest and appreciation by the audi ence. Mr. Wood has scores of friends in Jackson county, many of whom were present to enjoy his address. Sunday Morning Service The sermon in the auditorium. Sunday morning by Rev. George Acree*, pastor of First Methodist Church, Gainesville, attracted a" large congregation. The speaker chose for his theme, “How to Suc ceed in Life,” and based his di% course on St. Paul’s words to the church at Phillipi: “Forgettng those things which are behind and reach ing forth unto those things which are before, I press forward toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Mr. Acree delivered one of the most helpful, interesting and splen didly prepared discourses ever heard in Jefferson. His thoughts were di rected mainly to the graduating class, who sat before him, but the sermon was heard with great appre ciation by the large audience. Suc cess in life, he said, should be the lofty ambition of every person, and comes only to those who conform rigidly to the laws of achievement. These laws he listed as Personality, Purpose, Preparation, Perseverance and Purity, which, in its broadest sense, is synonymous with Piety. . Success must bo builded on a strong foundation, with self confi dence as its chief stone. To bring success there must be a purpose, a definite ideal to reach. Aimless cutting produces nothing but chips. To reach a high ideal, one must keep his mind on the fine things he would like to accomplish. The great am bition of high school graduates should be further preparation, and because one does not go to college is no reason to cease preparing for life. Whether in school or out of school, the greater preparation, the greater success. Perseverance means keep on keep ing on. Through perseverance, per sistence and indefatigable diligence, Columbus discovered anew world; Washington freed the colonies from British rule. Impurity impairs the mind and body, destroys the function of the brain that controls the will power. Standing at the parting of the way, at present time, and hesitating in the valley of decision is the whole world. A pure life and a life of piety is the only successful life. The world’s greatest poet, greatest law-giver, greatest merchant, great est manufacturer, were Christians, and the life that counts is the life of a Christian. The speaker said, “We send you out into the broad field of life, and Paul's words should be your guide.” Music for the Sunday morning Vol. 60. No. 38. J. R.
