Since Governor Slaton has pro claimed Nov. 18th, Georgia Prod ucts Day, and urged its observance ajong the lines indicated by the Georgia Chamber of Commerre there has been a great searching for verses and poems relating to Georgia and her products. It is remarkable how many times those have proven a theme of most ac ceptable and even unusual verses, among which may be enumerated the following by Frank L. Stanton, in his book “Songs of the Soil:” Watermelon Song. Oh, the Georgia watermelon—it’s a growing cool an green, An’ll soon be pullin’ heavy at the stem: An’ the knife—it needs a whettin’ an’ the blade is gettin’ keen. Oh, the Georgia watermelon is a gem! Melons cool an’ green— Jest the best you ever seen! Seen the sweet juice drip pin’ From them melons cool an’ green! Oh, the Georgia watermelon—with the purtiest sort o’stripe! It ain’t a streak o’ fat and a streak o’ lean; You thump her with your fingers, an’ you hear her answer “Ripe”! Oh, the Georgia watermelon cool an’ green! Melons cool an’ green — Jest the best you ever seen! See the sweet juice drippin’ From them melons cool an’ green! When you pull a Georgia melon you must know what you are at, * And -look out how your knife is goin’ in; ■ * -*• •> Put one half on this side o’ you, the other half on that, An’ then you git between ’em an’ begin! Melons cool and green— Jest the best you ever seen! See the sweet juice drippin’ From them melons cool and green! They’re mi hty, fillin’ with their flamin’ hearts o’ red — Like the reddest o’ roses in the South; When cotton’s down to nothin’, take the place o’ meat an’ bread; Make you think a hive o’ honey’s in your mouth! Melons cool an’ green— Best the country ever seen! Oh, the meltin’ sweetness Of the melons cool an’ green! But it’s way ahead o’ honey —as a slice or two will prove; It’s slicker, an’ it’s a sweeter as it slips! There un’t no “nigger problem” when the melon’s on the move — Make the white man an’ the nigger smack his lips! Melons cool an’ gr en — Don’t want any fence be . tween. But I’d outclimb all creation For them melons cool an’ green! Notice. Fine Sepies in Folders For $3.00 per Dozen and up at Guthrie’s Studio. Jackson, Ga. 11-28,4. (Aqv .) The Variety Store.

Telephone Saved Child’s Life One of the children fell into a water tank on an Alabama farm and was rescued unconscious and apparently lifeless. The frantic mother rushed to the telephone and called the doctor six miles away. He told her what to do and started at once, but before he arrived the child was out of danger. The protection of women and children is only one of the chief values of the telephone on the farm. You can have this service at small cost.
