Some for Nothing.
We are going to give the idle
young men of this community
something for nothing—a little
advice free of charge. Rut it is
good advice, is given in all sincer
ity, and is for their present as well
as for their prospective good.
You tel! us you want work, but
there is nothing for you to do.
Let us see.
All over this part of the State
there ar m ny of the best farms
of the country. There are big
farms, medium sized farms, and
oven one-man acreages.
t hese farms ar e not producing
o their maximum, because the
own rs c; 1 not secure the neces
sity farm labor. If they could
ecure the necessary help the
. -cage ' ou!d be materially in
creased each year, and the com
• unity \Y( uld become richer, and
belter, and more attractive to all
: jeople.
You want a job do you? We’ll
test your sincerity, for your good
hi d for the welfare of the com
munity.
To each young man, out of a
job, who is willing to go onto a
nearby farm and go to work, we
will run in this paper, FREE OF
CHARGE, a five line want ad for
two weeks. That ad should se
cure you a job within a few days.
There is no more dignified call
ing than that of tilling the soil. It
is the source from which the sus
tenance of all life springs.
Go onto the farm today. Be
industrious. Strive each day to
learn something new. Make up
your mind that you will begin at
the bottom and end at the top.
In ten years, while still young,
> ru will be carrying success around
m your pocket. You will have a
comfortable bank account. You
may even have a farm of your
own. And you will be admired
tnd respected by the whole com
munity.
BUT—
“No farm life for me!” you say?
Then this is our prophesy :
In ten years, instead of being
successful and admired by your
nei 'hbois, you will be still period
ically looking for that job. You
u ill be a stranger to the business
entrance of a bank. You will be
scheming to make both ends meet,
possibly at your wits end to sup
port a family on an income not
sufficient for one.
The young man who begins life
with looking for a soft job gener
ally ends doing the dirty work
which others kick aside.
Two roads are open before you,
and no obstacles bar your way.
The choice is yours. —Griffin News.
Bright Country Editors.
No state in the Union has any
brighter country newspaper men
'han Georgia. We could name
dozens oi the brethren who are
holding down weeklies that are as
bright as the noon-day sun. They,
are the pride of the state and the
admiration of all who are’able to
appreciate brains and character.
We read the dailies to get a
glimpse of what is happening on
this outside world of ours, but
when we desire to turn aside and
get a picture of rural life—that
life which after all is the backbone
of the world—we open the pages
of the country weeklies and drink
it in like old wine served in golden
vessels.

Credit System.
The credit system is one of the
greatest evils the laboring man
has to contend with. It tempts
him with its alluring offers, he
eagerly seizes the deceptive bait,
and chains himself —a slave. He
can build a fine house, or build a
fancy carriage, own a new piano
like neighbor B’s, by simply giv
ing his note to be paid next year,
when his crops will perhaps be
better, and the desire overrules
his better judgment. In an evil
hour he allows the trap to be
sprung upon him. With a load
of interest bearing upon him he
struggles on, growing fainter and
fainter, beneath the burden, and
when the time of payment arrives,
he is no better able to pay the
debt than he was the day it was
contracted. The interest eats into
his prosperity like a corroding
cancer, and gradually takes every
thing he can earn above what is
absolutely necessary for his fam
ily. The financial horizon looms
up dark and threatening. An
hour of adversity happens and
then the crash comes. His prop
erty is sold under the hammer at
less than half its value, and he is
turned out upon a cold world,
penniless and destitute. In many
instances the shock of transition
from affluence to pauperism is
more than his mind can bear, and
he finds relief in a suicide’s grave.
A Grateful Woman's Story.
Mrs. Robert Blair, 460 20th St.,
Terre Haute, Ind., writes: “I
suffered two years with kidney
and bladder trouble. After taking
Foley Kidney Fills a few short
weeks I found my trouble gradu
ally disappearing. The backaches
stopped and I am also free from
those tired spelis and headaches,
and my vision is no longer blur
red.” Foley Kidney Pills help the
kidneys, keep the blood clean and
eliminate the impurities that cause
backache, rheumatic pains, sore,
stiff and swollen joints and mus
cles. McDonougn Drug Co.
Manual Labor Honorable.
The trouble with most young
men is that they do not under
stand the diguit\ of manual labor.
They do not realize that honors
and fortune may be more readily
gained outside of the so-called
learned professions than in them ;
and that it is just as honorable to
swing a hammer or to hold a plow
as it is to make a speech in court
or to amputate a limb. The les
son young men should be taught
as early as possible is that it is not
so much what a man does for a
living as how he does it, and that
manual labor is as honorable as
any other. —Ex.
The Test That Tells.
There is only one real test for a
cough remedy, and that is use. S.
M. Oliver, Box 192, R. F. D. 5,
Greensboro, S. C., writes: “Foley’s
Honey and Tar is just fine. I
keep it all the time in my family
and do not expect to be without it
as long as I can get it.” It relieves
hay fever, asthma, coughs, colds,
croup and bronchial affections by
covering the inflamed, irritated
surfaces with a soothing, healing
combination of time-tried, reliable,
pure, harmless medicines. Con
tains no opiates. Children like it.

Cynicism.
We are reminded that resentment,
doubt and cynicism are so easily mis
taken for the wisdom of disillusion
ment that there is double reason
to guard against them. Many a hurv
soul fancies it is growing wise in the
ways of the world when in truth it is
only growing hard and hitter. An
acquaintance with mankind does .tot
mean merely learninsr humanity’s seam?'
side and being on guard against it. A
wider study will bring a far different
"nd more hopeful knowledge.

Bring American Dead
Home From Furopc.
Washington, D. C. —Three-
fourths of the American dead in
France will find their final resting
place in American soil.
Answering an inquiry today
from Senator Chamberlain as to
the wishes of relatives Gen. March,
chief of staff, said it was estimated
that replies from relatives thus far
received showed not more than
25 per cent who expressed a pre
ference that the soldier’s body re
main permanently in France.
With more than 4,000,000 sol
diers dead of allied and enemy
countries buried in French soil,
Gen. March said that nation was
desirous of proceeding slowly with
the task of exhuming those that
are to go to their home lands. No
date has yet been set for begin
ning the return of American dead.
“Junior” Resembles His
Papa.
His friends said it was excusa
ble because it was his first boy.
He exhibited the photograph at
the bank where he was employed.
“Isn’t he a wonder?” the young
father would say, passing it
through the window.
“You bet he is—really good
looking and intelligent; yes, he
does resemble his father.” And
papa would beam and act as
though he had not noticed the
flattering smile. All day the same
thing was repeated as friends en
tered the bank.
He was “real tickled” with him
self when he went home that
night and handed the package of
photographs to his wile. As she
opened it the much flattered papa
told her how his friends had ad
mired “Junior,” and did she think
the little fellow looked as much
like him as people said?
Mrs. Bank Teller took one look
at the contents of the package.
“Why, dearie, the photographer
has made a mistake; he gave you
the wrong pictures.”—Kansas City
