(Wisconsin Homestead)
A colored preacher was talking to
his congregation about free salva
tion. Finally his sermon was finish
ed and then he said: “Now, Brother
Smith, will you take up the collec
tion?”
At this point an old darkey got up
and started for the door, saying,
“Parson, Ah thought you said salva
tion was free—free as the water we
drink.”
“Well, brother,” replied the
preacher, “salvation is free and
water is free, but when we pipes it
to you, you has to pay fo’ de pip
ing.”

PEEPLESS KEYHOLE IS ONE OF
NEWEST INVENTIONS
The National Inventors’ Congress,
in session at Los Angeles, exhibited
the following new wonders:
A peeples keyhole.
A combination reading lamp and
clothes dryer.
An “oscillating” bar for tired
cocktail mixers.
An hydraulic bathtub to lift you
out of the water.
These were among 1,000 western
inventors’ pet ideas, which include
such things as water-walking shoes,
the “overcoat bath house,” and the
patent anti-snorer.
Bicycle A Faithful Steed
(From Savannah Press)
When it comes to considering the
matter of locomotion, we may praise
the automobile, give three cheers
for the airplane and throw up our
hats when we hear of the perform
ance of some master of the waves.
But do not get rid of all your cheers
in this connection on these agencies
of flight and travel. Save some for
the bicycle. P’raps you do not know
ju3t how important the two-wheeled
traveling agency is when it comes to
covering distance.
Forgotten upon the advent of the
motor, the bicycle is back again!
Conclusive evidence is the fact that
manufacturers expect this year’s
production to total 2,000,000. For
ten years production averaged only
313,000. Last year 1,250,000 bi
cycles were built compared with 1,-
100,000 in the peak year of the gay
nineties.
The bicycle is dependable. It
doesn’t backfire; it won’t run out of
gasoline; its batteries do not get
weak; it is not concerned because
water gauge shows low, and it
doesn’t have to carry a state license
tag.
It is the medium of transportation
for the man, boy, woman or girl who
wishes to be both owner, driver and
propeller of a handy device for
covering ground. It was believed
once the bicycle would descend to
the level of the beast of burden;
that it would be employed only to
fetch and carry. It was expected it
would be popular with the grocery
boy and with the man who wanted
f o save carfare to and from work.
It fills these lowly agencies very
handily, and it is, too, an agency of
delight to young people and a unit
of travel to those who enjoy a spin
into the country or a ride along well
paved highways.
The bicycle can be bought without
mortgaging the farm or the modest
city home; it can be propelled as
long as there is a leg to push it,
with no thought of stopping at a
gasoline filling station. All the at
tention it requires is to keep its
parts well oiled and its rubber tires
inflated.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
Whoever said that you couldn’t do
Exactly the thing you’re planning
to;
Whoever thought that you could not
climb
Up with the sun to the heights sub
lime?
Who has advised you to check your
pace,
Give up the struggle and lose the
race.
Crawl off discouraged and hide your
face?
Nobody but you!
Life is not merely a game of
chance,
And you’re not the victim of cir
cumstance.
Nothing’s too hard for a man to do
Providing, of course, he wishes to.
Wishes it more than a miser’s
wealth.
More than an invalid longs for
health,
Works for it, prays for it—night and
day,
Feels that no price is too great to
pay,
How do you know till you strive that
way?
How do you know?

THE USE OF FIREWORKS
Already, as the Christmas season
approaches, the explosion of fire
works is heard, and by those inter
ested in a safe and sane holiday, ap
prehension is felt lest proper pre
caution is not taken in the handling
of firecrackers, Roman candles and
other explosive noisemakers.
A firecracker in the hands of a
child is a danger to be reckoned
with, yet many parents, especially
fathers of small boys, will provide
children with the explosives, admon
ish them to be careful, and then
blame their offsprings if accidents
occur. When burning powder car
ries dirt into the flesh tetanus, or
lockjaw, oftimes results, and only
those who have had the terrible ex
perience of seeing suffering be
cause of fireworks, can understand
the horror of the infliction.
Somehow, noise making and hil
arity seem to constitute the “good
times” of many people, and at
Christmas fireworks seem to ideally
fill the bill, but like many other de
vices the results are not worth the
effort.
Some very good “don’ts,” offered
recently by Dr. J. N. Baker, state
health officer of Alabama, are j
these:
Don’t hold lighted firecrackers in
your hand.
Don’t throw lighted firecrackers
or torpedoes under the feet of pe
destrians.
Don’t turn lighted Roman candles
towards persons, into automobiles
or buildings.
Don’t pick up a firecracker you
think is “out” because it did not ex
plode.
Don’t wear highly inflammable
costume clothing.
Don’t permit children to handle
fireworks.
Don’t explode firecrackers in the
house.
And, says the Alabama health of
ficer, if all these “antidotes” are
carefully heeded, you stand a fair
to middling chance of coming
through the holiday season without
an accident due to fireworks.—Daw
son News.
JUDGE DAVIS FIRED GWINNETT
JURY
Judge James C. Davis, of the
Stone Mountain circuit, is presiding
over the Gwinnett superior court
this week during the trial of the
criminal docket, while Judge Clifford
Pratt is holding court at Decatur
for Judge Davis.
Tuesday during the trial of a de
fendant charged with operating a
slot machine, the jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty. Judge Davis
was of the opinion that the defend
ant was guilty and forthwith he dis
charged the jury and ordered them
paid off.
The same thing happened in this
court more than thirty years ago
v/hen Chief Justice Richard B. Rus
sell was the circuit judge and he
peremptorially dismissed a jury for
disregarding the court’s instruction,
with the situation reversed in that
the jury returned a guilty verdit
when one of acquittal was expected.
There were a number of precussions
in the latter case.—Gwinnett Jaurn

State Marks Historic
Spots
Atlanta.—Historic spots in Geor
gia soon will be appropriately mark
ed.
Orders for markers identifying
historic places have been placed for
delivery the first of the year, R. F.
Burch, commissioner of natural re
sources said Friday.
Granite boulders for the markers
have been contributed by W’iley L.
Moore, Atlanta business man, and
will be of Cherokee Georgia marble.
Historic points along major high
ways will be marked first. The
State Highway Department will co
operate in erection of the monu
ments, and wherever possible, these
will be surrounded by small parks
or beautified areas.
“We hope to trace Georgia’s his
tory from its earliest beginning to
thq present, and it is our hope that
every site of every important event
in Georgia history can be suitably
marked,” Mr. Burch said.
He solicited co-operation of his
toric societies and other similar
organizations in the work. The first
marker probably will be unveiled on
Georgia Day, February 12, he added.

SMOKE TAX REVENUE
SHOWS $63,000 GAIN
Cigarette tax collections showed a
big increase in November, reaching
a total of $189,108, according to
Grady Head, of the State Revenue
Commission. The increase over No
vember of last year was approxi
mately $63,000.
Mr. Head said that a purchase of
$50,000 worth of cigarettes by a
chain store was largely responsible
for the gain.
Beer tax collections in November
were given as $37,685, a gain of
S2OO, and delinquent taxes brought
in $19,849, more than double the
November collections last year.

cups in cold water before filling with
the mixture. And always bake in a
slow oven.
