McDonough, Ga., June 30, 1916 Tinlizzie —just another new one. Most abundant blackberry crop ever, with finer quality.

Hopes correspondingly brighter with the ideal cotton temperture for some days and nights, re cently. Druggists of Georgia will make ji fight on the proposed tax on soft drinks by the State legisla luture. Georgia textile mills manufac tured $70,241,926 worth of goods last year. Over $12,000,000 was paid in wages. Everybody is looking forward for 12c cotton and good times this fall. And here’s hoping no one will be disappointed. Recruits for the Georgia Na tional Guard have been numerous There is great enthusiasm among the paliiotic applicants. When notified of his nomina tion President Wilson’s only com nient was: “i am very grateful to my generous friends.” One person was killed, two re ceived severe injuries and four were badly bruised in an automo bile accident at Fountain bridge, twelve miles from Cuthbert. Uncle Jim Williams of the Greensboro Herald-Journal savs: “Damn a man that never has a kind word for anyone.” We didn’t know that Uncle Jim spoke two languages so fluently, hut we are inclined to pe with him. —H. M F., in Swainsboro Forest-Blade. The announcement that we have just had one of the smallest cot ton crops in a number of years ought to have a very salutary ef fect on the coming season’s oro duction, as there is no indication just now that we will break any records in the matter of extra-or dinary yield this year. The readiness and promptness with which the State militia has responded to the call of service on the Mexican border, relieves it of the oft-repeated charge of be ing merely parade soldiers. And if called upon to do actual battle they will stiil further clear them selves of the charge, says the Oglethorpe Echo. You can believe it or not, but when a business firm keeps their name before the public through the medium of the local newspa pers they draw trade. Readers of the paper become familiar with > 'Ur name and wh.-n an artid is to be purchased it brings Ihe party to that store as su night as a mar tin can fly to its gourd.—Ex. They say Bryan wept at the St. Louis convention. Who can find it in his heart to cast a jibe at Bryan for that? What other man ever lived who had so many alter nate ups acd downs in keeping with the alternating impulses of party conventions? “So near and yet so far” has often been the sad refrain in Brya.i’s consciousness as he went down from the exalta tion of convention excitement to the humdrum of his home and his office. Few men have lived as much as lias Bryan. Few men have written upon their souls the living memories of such antithetic emotions. Now r he passes into decline. The great days are over. Well may he weep—for his mem ories, lffor nothing else. —Sparta Ishmaelite. Sending invitations and compli mentary tickf-ts to the newspaper probablv originated with the first newspaper, though it has never been a practice in Rochelle. —New Era. Isn’t it strange how the av erage person will accept courtesies from a newspaper, and then give it the marble heart? The people in this community are not free from this. It is usually character istic of small cities. Some people will get all they can out of the editor and offer very little in re turn. But, what’s a newspaper for, anyway? The editor and his family don’t have to eat, and the printers are like camels, they go nine days without drinking. The average person thinks a newspa per is a free horse for everybody to ride. —Greensboro Herald-Jour nal. Editorial Love Letter. “Dear, darlinjf delinquent! Oh, precious subscriber in arrears! You are so shy! Do yon think we have sold out and gone? No, lit tle sugar plum, we couldn’t get away if we wanted to. We are still at the same old place, dishing out the sweet promise and bright expectations. They make an ex cellent diet, darling, with a little pudding flavored to serve as des sert. We are waiting and watch* for thee, our little turtle dove. We long to hear the gentle foot steps on the step outside and lis ten to the ring of the happy dol lars in our office. Dear one, we feel unusually sad and lonely with out you, dear. Now, little pie crust, will you come? Do we hear your answer in a voice so sweet and beguiling. ‘l’m coming,’ or is it the cold and bleak winds that around our office roar? We pause for further development.” —Hickville Howler, Passeth Understanding. Gee, but it sure passeth under standing—the love that Shops of the Dalton Citizen lavishes on Judge Fite of his Circuit. In his last issue he says of Fite: “Judge Fite has the worst re cord of any man in Georgia, and he knows it, and he also knows that we know it, and furthermore he knows we intend to keep that re cord where the people can look at it whenever ihev want to. “So far as Fite, the man is con cerned, we have no respect for him, ‘md as a Judge, we have less. Therefore, what he says about us amounts to just as much a id no more than pouting water on a duck’s back. A gentlem in can in sult us, but a judicial guttersnipe can’t.” And if, after reading this, there remains any doubt in your min i as to how Shope feels towards this erudite wearer of th - judici u ermine, just drop him " line and he’ll tell you —that is, ir he can find any words that are sufficient ly i ire proof to carry ins burning thoughts. —Forsyth Advertiser. 1 owaliga News.
