PROGRESS NEWS NOTES. July. Hot and dry. Tough on war gardens. Dry your apples and peaches. Can’t always tell what a fellow is by the cigar he smokes. If we would stop paying so much attention to everything we hear and take a little time to in vestigate and find out the truth fulness of what we hear, we would find things considerably different to what this “hear say” crowd says they are. The wormiest old worm that ever wormed around on this old wormy world is the wormy old worm of a wormy old distiller. It is a true saying, “We work what we have.” We all have a tongue, and bless your soul we don’t fail to work it either. Occasionally we hear some old box whittler exclaim, if you know how to do a thing why don’t you get busy and do it ? Partner, it is like the fellow going through the woods and saw a squirrel sitting on a limb. He knew just how to shoot the squirrel, but the reason he didn’t was because he had no gun. So the reason a lot of us don’t do more than we do is be cause we have nothing to do with. The sole reason a lot of us don’t let our light shine is simply be cause we have no light to let shine. You know I have heard a lots about hypocrites, heard people say if there wasn’t so many in the church I would join it and so on. Now 1 have about come to the conclusion that a hypocrite in the church is one round higher up than the stinking boogers on the outside. His name, if nothing else, is found among the good. Ignorance and deception will work very well down hill, but never will they pull up hill. If everybody was half as patri otic as some old razors I have seen, Uncle Sam wouldn’t lack for somebody to puli for him, I bet oha. Mrs. A. S. Carter of Experiment was the guest of Mrs. W. N. Strickland Saturday and Sunday. Mr. James Gilbert and family of Noah’s Ark spent Sunday with Mr. W. N. Strickland and family. The singing at the home of Mr. G. M. Adamson Saturdry night was enjoyed by all present. Mr. Pierce Dixon of Jonesboro was the guest of Mr. Marvin Fos ter Saturday night. Messrs. Leroy and Clifford Strickland attended the singing at Lovejoy Sunday afternoon. A few Ford loads of Flippenites were seen passing through our community Sunday afternoon. I one once heard of a preacher that preached if a man came along and (without any provocation) spit in your face vv'e would have to wipe it out and sav, “God have mercy on that poor fellow,” before we could get to heaven. Well, maybe we have, but I tell you, my face may look like a spitton, but I be hanged if I let a fellow make one out of it and get off at it. I will teach him a little respect or put my kicking machine out of business. UNCLE JEREMIAH. Western Division Meeting All Sunday in this di vision urged to have their Schools represented. Important meeting. Good program Eyerybody in vited.- Meeting place Rocky Creek Sunday afternoon July 14th, 2:30 p.m. B. C. Bright, Pres. Div. Senator Thomas W. Hardwick Will address the citizens of Henry county at the court house in Mc- Donough at 10:30 o'clock on next Wednesday, July 17, and thor= oughly discuss the issues of the campaign.
