4- AS SWEET AS EVER. 4
.♦44 4 4 4444444444
She’s just as sweet as ever;
She is just as kind and true,
And the difference, if there’s any,
Is the difference in you.
She’s just as fond of loving.
And she’s just as pure and strong,
As tte day you sent her roses
And you sang to her your song.
You forget her, that’s the trouble,
You forget her all the time;
All the little things she longs for.
All the music and the rhyme;
You’re so busy and centered
In your tumult and your strife—
And she’s just as sfeet as ever,
Still your comrade and your wife.
Oh, you’ve made a lot of money,
And the garish light of things
Has a luring for your passion
Like the song the siren sings;
And you take a fling at something,
And you really don't care what—
And she’s just as sweet as ever,
That dear wife that you’ve forgot.
Just as tender, just as lovely.
Just as lonely, too, for you;
Just as eager for your coming
As she was when you were true;
Just as gentle and as yielding,
But you don’t think so, because
It is she that has been perfect,
It is you that’s broken laws.
She's just as sweet as ever.
Don't you doubt it; don’t you dare.
Just go home to her this evening,
Just to let her see you care;
Ah, you’ll find her whole soul waking,
Waking once again to cling
’Round your heart with eager loving—
Like a sweetheart of the spring!
—The Bentztown Bard.

It will be difficult to find a man who
will always be on time, as you were,
and with such ready, helpful ideas. I
feel very grateful for the service you
rendered to the cause, and earnestly
pray that God will direct your steps
and continue to use you in his service,

cerely your friend,

FORMS DIXIE HIGHWAY
ICRICULTURIL CLUB
SANDERSVILLE, Ga., Aug. 12.—The
Chamber of Commerce has begun the
organization of the Dixie Highway
Agricultural Club of Washington coun
ty, the members to be composed of
those men owning farms along the
Dixie highway in this county.
The work of the club will be the in
tensive cultivation of the two-acre
frontage along each side of the Dixie
highway throughout the county.
The two acres are to be scientifically
cultivated at whatever expense is nec
essary to give the best of agricultural
results. In reality, these "intensive”
acres would be a series of little ex
perimental farms stressing diversifica
tion of crops, the raising of alfalfa and
food stuffs for catle, the cultivation of
burr and crimson clover and other
winter cover crops, the planting of
velvet beans and hay peas and those
crops that advanced farmers in Geor
gia are predicting will be “the future”
of the state.
Secretary Shipp, of the Sandersville
Chamber of Commerce stated today
that a move is now on foot to establish
a Dixie Highway Agricultural Club
of Georgia, and that this would natur
ally result in the organization of a
Dixie Highway Agricultural Club of
Dixie.
Should this be done, tourists from
other parts of the country traveling
over the Dixie highway will get a ten
fold better impression of the South
than at present, from an agricultural
standpoint. This is a matter that the
agricultural clubs and trade bodies of
the state might do well to take up.
ATLANTA MILLING GO.
ID EXHIBIT IT FAIR
A big space in the Merchants and
Manufacturers’ building at the Third
Agricultural District fair was sold this
week to the Atlanta Milling Company,
of Atlanta, to exhibit the products of
their large flour mill. This space will
be twenty feet front and ten feet deep.
Their representative, W. J. Thornton,
of Americus, will have entire charge
cf the exhibit.
Baking of biscuits and cake will be
cne of the ways that they w ill demon
strate the excellent quality of their
flour products.
The booth will be handsomely dec
orated and their goods shown off to
good advantage. Lady demonstrators
will be sent here, who are bakers of
par excellence, when it comes to mak
irg and baking good things from flour.
There is no doubt that the Mer
chants’ and Manufacturers’ building
v ill be one of the most prominent
buildings on the fair grounds.
RULES COMMITTEE IS
DEATH TO CAPITAL RILL
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 12 —The Capi
tol removal bill has been taken off the
bouse calendar by the rules commit
tee, and did not come up at the morn
ing session. Unless the rules commit
tee puts the till back on the calendar
which does not seem likely, the bill is
dead for the present session.
This action on the part of the rules
committee follows failure of the ’oes
of capitol removal to have the bill ta
bled at the morning session Friday. In
this instance, there was a most pro
nounced majority against tabling, and
it was announced at that time that the
bill w-ould come up for debate and ac
tion this morning.

SOCIALIST LABOR UNIONS
DROP IN SOME
BERLIN, Aug. 12. —The membership
o' the Socialist labor unions of Berlin
has been reduced more than half as a
result of the war. On January 1, 1914,
there were 301,986 members, and the
number had fallen to 144,259 on Jan
uary 1, 1916, a decline of fifty-two per
cent. For the six months since elapsed
Agues are not available, but it is prob
able that further calls to the colors
have left not more than 40 per cent of
the members at home.
The membership totals given include
however a large number of female
members, so that the decrease of men
members was considerably greater
than the percentage indicate.
The number of unemployed has de
clined steadily. Money suport had
been granted on January 1, 1915, to
15,334 but this total had dropped on
January 1, 1916 to 2,457. The geratest
decreases in unemployed were in the
case of book printers, woodworkers,
and metalmakers.
The influence of the war on the
unions’ treasury is shown by the
fact that, while there was a decrease
ot nearly five and a quarter million
marks in receipts, the treasury bal
ance increased some 330,000 marks in
1915 over 1914. This was of course,
due to the reduced calls made on the
treasury.
PROF. MAYES IS ELECTED

Professor John W. Mayes, of Black

of English in the Americus High
school, according to Superintendent J.
