this week. Our enrollment is forty
three. We have been enjoying the
stories our teacher reads to us. We
liked the “Three Golden Apples.”
Samples of toothpaste were given
us this week.
Third Grade
We have some new books for our
library table. They have nice pic
tures, and are easily read. We have
a free reading period each day. We
made teeth charts last week, and
took them home. Every time we
brush our teeth, we check the chart.
Fourth Grade
Our teacher has been sick this
week with a cold. Mrs. Osborne is
our teacher. Our room is decorated
with big and little pumpkins. We
have divided our arithmetic lesson
into three sections.
Fifth Grade
The fifth grade has been studying
Japan in Geography. We are very
interested to see which nation will
get possession of America. Our re
port cards are better this month.
Sixth Grade
We have two pupils to make the
honor roll this month. This means
they have an excellent average, and
haven’t missed a day. They are:
Annie Mae Jordan and Nellie Mae
Walls. Several others would have
made it if they had been present
every day. We have received a cake
of Lifebuoy soap, and are keeping
up our Health Chart.
Seventh Grade
We are very proud of the posters
of Japan, presented to our room by
Mrs. T. K. Miller. The class is
writing to Representative B. Frank
Whelchel, who was kind enough to
send us some government bulletins
for our Agriculture Class. We re
ceived our report cards Tuesday,
and we are glad to say our grades
are an improvement over last
month’s grades.

RALPH 3UFFINGTON WRITES
FROM HOUSTON, TEXAS
This is a letter from Ralph Mel
drim Buffington, to his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. M. C. Buffington, of this
county. He was born in Jackson,
educated at Tech, and his home is in
Houston, Texas:
lit
Houston, Tex.—Sunday Morning.
Dear Papa and Mama: It seems a
long week since I left you in Geor
gia. The trip to Atlanta was spent
with J. T. Highsmith; he goes home
to see his wife every week-end. We
got to Atlanta at ten o’clock, Cen
tral time, and that gave me three
hours and forty minutes to wait.
The take off from the field was a
little rough. We flew over the red
hills of W'est Georgia and Alabama.
In the distance I could see Kenne
saw and Stone Mountain. It was
interesting to see the farm layouts
from the air, the grouping of the
buildings around the main house,
and the field layouts with the ter
races and gullies that had broken
through. The Chattahoochee look
ed small from the air; in places I
could see shoals in it, other places
big sandbars.
Over in Alabama we saw Martin’s
Lake, just north of Montgomery.
This lake has some 750 miles of
shoreline. It is filled with islands,
and the view from the air is very
impressive, as all the arms of the
lake twist and turn between the
wooded hills. One arm of the lake
was filled with muddy water, the
other parts were still fairly clear.
Montgomery was still the same
old place; we did not land there.
We followed the highway for some
distance towards Selma, and crossed
the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers.
North of Mobile we saw the Mobile
Gulf, but not the city. In a few
miles we were in Mississippi, where
we could see great swamps, lakes,
rivers and lakes. To the south was
the beautiful blue waters of the
Gulf of Mexico. Later we flew
over Lake Ponclvatrain, and were
at the Shushan Airport (New Or
leans.) After a brief stop, we took
on some more passengers, and flew
up over the city, with a wonderful
view of the Mississippi. We went
up the Mississippi for some eighty
miles, and it was interesting to see
the well cultivated farms, sugar
cane fields, etc., along the river. A’
few’ miles back the swamps were
solid, and as wild as the jungles.
Here and theTe were great lakes
that contained thousands of acres,
some with rivers flowing into them.
Soon it began to grow dark, and we
last saw the rice country around the
town of Crawley, Louisiana. Later
we passed over Port Arthur, and saw
the brilliant lights of Beaumont to
the north. The city of Houston was
beautiful from the air. We landed
perfectly, and I was delighted to see
some friends waiting for me. I did
n’t feel tired, but the first several
days of this week I felt sore. Per
haps I twisted too much in my seat
trying to see everything.
I went to ,gee a high school foot
ball game last night. Enjoyed it
very much. There was ten thousand
people there, maybe more.
I have been invited out to dinner
today. So I am getting this letter
off in the morning.
Have all the news written to me.
Love and best wishes in everything.
Your son,
Ralph.

WHAT HABITS HAVE YOU?
(From Newnan Times)
Nearly every person has formed
habits of one kind or another be
cause of tradition, but that does
not necessarily make it a good habit.
A few years ago young baseball
players thought the public would
not look upon them as potential Ty
Cobbs unless they kept a chew of to
bacco in their cheeks half as big as
their youthful bodies. Many to
bacco chewers developed in that
manner.
During the hero-worship age boys
will copy both good and bad habits
from their idols. For idols to re
main idols they must watch their
habits, for as youth grows into man
hood he realizes that he has con
tracted habits that are not good and
he wishes earnestly that he could
rid himself of them.
There’s a football coach who
chews tobacco while his boys are
playing. That is the only time he
chews. Sometimes he forgets to
bacco and he chews a stick, a match,
anything just as well, but youth
does not see it that way.
Once a habit is formed it is hard
to break. Some people have had
habits of wffiich they are not con
scious. If they are conscious of
them and really try to break them, it
is not altogether as easy as that.
It is practically impossible to break
many habits if a person is to con
tinue running around with the same
crowd.
■lf you are in a position to start
youth off on the wrong track, don’t
do it, even if it has to break a few
of your traditional ideas.
HOW TO AVOID GOING TO
PRISON
Ten tips on “how to keep out of
jail” were given at a conference of
prison workers at Liverpool, by Cyril
Clancy, an official of the Discharged
Prisoners’ Aid Society.
In order of importance, he says:
1. Don’t marry an extravagant
wife.
2. If you have done so, tighten
things up before something serious
happens.
3. Don’t marry on the love im
pulse only.
4. Choose a wife of prudence and
virtue, rather than one who looks
charming in a bathing costume.
5. Don’t pretend to be more than
you are.
6. Don’t run a car unless you are
financially secure.
7. Remember, race courses are
not maintained for your financial
betterment.
8. Beer and wine cheer the heart
of men—it is their misuse that
brings so many within prison gates.
9. If you are out of a job, a
prison conviction won’t help you to
find one.
10. Life won’t last forever —go
straight while there is time.

MAN LIKED HOSPITAL SO WELL
MADE IT HIS HOME, DIES
One August day ten years ago
Elijah M. Williams, retired railroad
conductor, went to Emory Univer
sity hospital for treatment of a dent
al infection which had affected his
system.
He was 71 years old. The nurses
and doctors were kind and he hadn’t
particularly liked the lonely living
at a hotel where he moved when his
wife died. So he ordered his per
sonal possessions sent out.
He became a permanent patient,
reading widely, taking a personal in
terest in the lives of internes and
student nurses as they came and
went through the Emory University
Medical and Nurses schools.
He enjoyed their gifts and pleas
antries on Christmas, which was al
so his birthday.
Last week he was looking for
ward to another Christmas at the
hospital. He complained of more
than usual pains from his heart ail
ment, and on November 21 Elijah
Williams died.
“He may have been a little im
patient about death,” Robert S.
Hudgens, hospital superintendent,
said of him. “He realized that the
days of his usefulness to the world
and to himself were over. Yet he
never let life become monotonous
because of that. He read widely,
kept up with the latest trends* and
up until the last three, days, his
mind was active and full.”
Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy less
potent than Creomulsion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is
one word—not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you’ll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv.)

* Better Breakfasts ”
YES. There is a way to make
that first breakfast dish of
fruit different, and, oh, the
difference it makes! The excla
mation: “But this is something
new!” is balm to the soul of the
solicitous housewife who has to
plan three hundred and sixty-five
breakfasts a year. She’ll hear it
if she serves the following break
fast:
Orange Slices with Cranberry
Jelly Cubes
Flaked Cereal with Cream
Buckwheat Cakes Syrup
Sausages
Coffee
The ingredients of the first dish
consist of oranges and canned
cranberry jelly.
Allow one medium orange for
each person. Cut off peel, remov
ing all the white fibre. Cut in
slices crosswise and lay in an
overlapping circle on plates. Cut
•ome chilled cranberry jelly in
cubes, and pile abcut one
THURSDAY, PECEMRpa-
heaping teaspoonful in center of
each service of orange circles.
This not only looks pretty, Wi
the combination tastes mighty
good.
Appetizing Coffee
The coffee that you serve at
this breakfast should be of the
kind you can’t wait to taste the
kind the aroma of which is so
tempting that you scald yourseli
with the first sip. It’s easy to
have coffee like that now that
so many popular brands are pot
up in vacuum packed cans. These
cans keep the coffee fresh until
they are opened, and freshness is
the principal thing— for fragrance,
taste and strength—in the making
of good coffee.
No oxygen can get to the coffee,
you see, if it is enclosed in vacu
um packed cans, and ox y&en
the chief enemy of coffee,
exposed to it, the coffee
quickly evaporate, and much
the taste and aroma is soon gone.
