Crime knows no race, religion
or country.
Lots of men would be unable to
born w trouble if they ban to give
security.
The average amount of sickness
in human life is estimated at ten
days per annum.
To join in a dispute between
is human, but to stay
out of it is divine.
After dcing an honest day’s
work the workman likes to look a
square meal in the face
A German farm implement does
the work of a plow, disk harrow
and roller in a single trip over a
field.
To have swapped Wilson for
Hughes at this stage would have
been worse than trading with the
Gypsies—Cuthbert Leader.
It seems eminently fitting that
the Wesleyan College girls should
win a prize on angel cake at the
State Fair. —Cuthbert Leader.
A Macon man udio stole a beef
steak was fined $35. If it was a

The Greensboro Herald-Jour

The Ma lisonian prints this sig
nificant item which is typical of
what is going on all over the cot
ton section:
“Mr. H. D. White recently pur
chased the 600 acre farm of Mr.
Jno. P. Chambers, out on ilaid
Labor Creek. He is doing a lot of
fall plowing, clearing up lands, and
will put 400 acres in cotton an
other year.”
That is where the danger lies.
Twenty-cents cotton has caused an
enormous movement of business
eff >rt towards the country, and
the resuit will be that more c >t
ton will doubtless be planted in
1917 than ever before in the
history of cotton culture. Why
n)t hold it down and keep the
price up?—DeKalb New Era.

was a poetic figure of speech.”
“Don’t you think ‘a fresh squall’
would have hit the mark better?”

“Mother, may we make taffy to
day?” asked the children.
“Not today, children; papa has
1 a headache and you make so
much noise.”
“No, we won’t mamma,” said
Tom, “but if we don’t make taffy
we are very liable to make a
noise.”
