Thursday Morning, December 30, 1920. When, 0 When, will this holi- j day spirit wear off? In order to make our wail understood, we refer to the loafing spirit, and not that variety being transported in fruit jars. The Chicago woman who is putting on a campaign against the cigarette, begins with Presi dent-elect Harding, who is a pa tron of the habit. She evidently believes at beginning at the top round. The fact that there is in hand enough unspunned cotton to last the world two years should make some impression on the farmer who is not yet convinced that it is unprofitable to grow too much of the staple another year. There will be held in Atlanta February 8 and 9 a grand suffrage conclave. Do not know whether the ladies are making arrange ments for 1922 or 1924. Suffice it to say that the ways and means committees will carry full mem bership. ' t 7 .* President Wilson celebrated his sixty-fourth birthday Tues day. For the past half a dozen years his life has been fraught with more responsibilities and perplexities of a national nature than have ever fallen to the lot of any man. The new year will not bring anything better, unless you go out after it. This idea that good things come to men who wait is a snare and a delusion. Be up and doing, with a heart for any t isk. It is diligence that moves obstacles and gets a man some where in life and achievement. The anniversary number of the Christian Index is a most credit able number. It is a centennial issue, and covers the work of the Baptist church in Georgia for the past hundred years or more. The Index is the organ of that de nomination in Georgia and is owned by the church. No mem ber of the Baptist church should be without a copy of the special number of the Index. Road and bridge building in the Twelfth district is being pushed uteadily, and within another year facilities for rapid and comfort able travel in this section of the state will be up to the most pro gressive standard. For the work completed and under way a mil lion and a-half dollars will be spent. The federal government is paying half of the cost of con struction. The holiday season has not been without its round of acci dents and fatalities, most of them of the preventable kind guns that were thought to have been unloaded, automobiles that were thought to be self steering, liquor that was thought* to be harmless, and fire that was supposed to burn without producing pain and death. All this may be included in the fatalities of life, but the idea of precaution is still feebly existing. The Duroc Jersey sale by Rich- j mond & McArthur January 7th will be the largest ever held in ; this section. This sale of thor oughbred hogs should prove an j inspiration to the farmers and stockraisers. Something like $20,- 000 worth of high-grade stock offered in a sale was never before heard of in Montgomery county, | and the success of this stock farm ; is a tribute to the foresight and j energy of the promoters. Stock j from this farm has gone to every I part of the United States. 1 Sheriff Sale. Georgia—Montgomery County. Will be Hold before the court house door In Mt.
