Charity sui'fereth long and so
does the man who lives on it.
That new body type in the
Monticello News looks a whole lot
better to us.
He who believes in nobody
knows that he himself is not to be
trusted. —Auerbach.
A lady in Buffalo recently gave
her husband a dose ot Rough on
Rats because he intimated that her
own hair w as enouuh without arat.
An Ocilla firm is advertising for
5U,000 coon hides. The Savannah
Press has figured it out that prob
ably this is responsible for the
negro exodus. —Walton Tribune.
Why does the bank have big
iron bats across the window, ask
ed a little boy of his father.
“Hush,” was the answer, “that is
so the cashier will get used to
them.”
My duck she lays a bigger egg
than the helpful hen can lay, but
when she’s through she cackles
not, but simply walks away. And
so we scorn the silent duck —hut
the helpful hen we prize—which
is only another way to say it pays
to advertise.
The English class was studying
Scott, and the teacher asked some
one to explain the meaning of the
line, “He is to come of high de
gree.” One boy arose and ex
plained raidily, “It means his pa
rents were both gentlemen.” —
Christmas Herald.
Sixty- five cents of every dollar
paid by the consumer for food
goes to the middleman, according
to John J. Dillon, commissioner of
New York state for foods and
markets, who testified before the
Wick’s legislative committee in its
investigation into the high cost of
living.
If England gave as much
thought to the fighting on the
western front as she does to who
shall be in authority at home,
who will control the trade of the
world after the war, and who the
manufacturers of the United
States are selling goods to, she
might make a better showing.—
Moultrie Observer.
We did not expect a Thanksgiv
ing turkey at all but we did think
that some of the folks that- we
have told polite lies about this
year would have sent us an old
turkey hen anyway. The next
time an ugly gal or a sorry boy
marries we are going to say so
plain out unless we do get a Christ
mas turkev. See if we dont. The
next ugly or hair lipped young
one that comes into the world is
goingto get the truth told about its
personal appearance and he wont
be smart a darn bit unless that
turkey comes. —Bainbridge Post-
Search-light.
Turning to Rural Life.
Today we hear the question
asked more frequently than in
many years past, “is the time ap
proaching for men to begin to di
vide in the city and rural life?”
Without a true understanding,
however, the question could be
misconstrued, though the answer
is expected to come forth with
but one idea in view—that is,
whether or not soil production
shall become a more important
factor in the industrial world of
the Sotilh m the future than t
has in the past, especially within
the past score of years.
i I tie and there we observe that
farmers, as soon as they have ac
cumulated a sufficient wealth
whereby they might judge them*
selves fairly independent, have
deserted their original homestead
in the sural section and turned
cityward for a new place of abode.
As a consequence the idea has be
come so universally popular until
it would seem that a new concep
tion of the situation is now be
ginning to loom up with a ten
dency of a part of the throng
wafting back from whence they
came, and occasionally entirely
new heads will be found drifting
in that direction.
Men everywhere will admit
that during the past score of
years, rural life in the South has
not been what it ought to have
been and farm homes have from
time to time been allowed to re
trograde, rural communities have
become less highly organized, and
as a whole the custom allowed to
take place has detracted the at
traction formerly afforded those
residing in the country.
But things are changing here
of late, the olden times and now
are different and the idea that
itnere is nothing that can take
place on the farm and in the ru
ral sections that will appeal to
men is on the wane.
In quite recent years devices
have been arranged to equip the
farm home with the kind of con
veniences that go to make such a
place attractive, waterworks sys
tems have been put into opera
tion that affords the farm house
wife conveniences, machinery has
been invented that goes a long
ways towards enabling one man
to do two men’s work and to make
one plant grow where only one
grew before.
With all these changes taking
place there really leaves no room
for doubt in that sometime not far
distant we will see a drifting back
to the land, country homes will
become beautified, the country
surroundings will present a more
attractive air, and the city and
rural section will be divided, not
against each other, but merely
separate by a space of only a few
minutes before mingling with each
other in a way that will present a
beautiful scene indeed. —Milledge-
