Automobiles remind us of some people we know —can’t go with out gas. We didn’t get to Turkey on Thanksgiving, but we got in Grease already. Don’t sneer at a man’s nation ality—it takes all kinds of people to make a world. What benefit does the fellow who sleeps during services derive from the sermon ? Every man may be the archi tect of his own fortune, but some are mighty poor builders. _ Fine feathers don’t make fine birds, neither does fine clothes always cover the best citizen. We would rather be poor with a clear conscience than a Roths child with his vaults of gold. If you fail patronize your home industries, how can you expect an outsider to do so ? Illiteracy is often found in the make-up of the college graduate, who has no retainer in his cra nium. Soon the pop of the firecracker will be heard in the land, which reminds us that a fool and his money soon part. Uncle Sam stopped the kaiser, and he can pull off the same stunt with Senor Carranza, if it becomes necessary. Some fellows will present their best girl with a ten dollar box of candy Christmas, but forget all about poor old mother. Some people evidently think “Jesus paid it all,” by the way they ignore the contribution box when it’s passed around. Hope the government will be more successful in its regulation of foodstuffs than in its war on the profiteers, which seems to have been a failure. If the government is in earnest about the newspapers to save pjper, why don’t it take the initia tive by suspending the Congress ional Record, whose columns are filled with undelivered speeches. The whiskey element seem determined to override war-time* prohibition, judging from the injunctions issued against revenue officials by booze-loving judges, who should be stripped of their powers. Our lands are the most fertile, our climate the best, our people the most hospitable, good roads and railway facilities unexcelled. If you are a homeseeker come to Henry county, where the sun shines the brightest and birds sing the sweetest of any spot on earth. American Cotton Association Organizes. Atlanta, Nov. 24. (Special)— Predicting not only the successful organization of the American Cot ton Association, but its perman ence, Commissioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown declares the time has come when the producer is going to get into the saddle and stay here. Mr. Brown is just back from Macon, where, in a well attended and enthusiastic meeting, steps were taken for the permanent or ganization of the Georgia Division. “The reports from almost every section of Georgia, and from many of the cotton states, were most in spiring,” Commissioner Brown said. “South Carolina, the home of President Wannamaker, is far advanced in its organization work. Other states are making splendid progress, and, I believe from what I heard and saw, that inside of 60 days, Georgia will not only be or ganized, but will be the association banner state. “The movement for solid or ganization of the producer and his friends, is no longer a fight of a few individuals; it is bigger than any set of men, whoever they may be. It is as broad and as wide as the cotton belt —in fact, I might say as the entire nation —and should interest every man and woman in it. “The farmers, the business men and the bankers of the South, are getting together now, welded into a steel bound organization, to the end that those who have fixed an arbitrary price on our cotton for more than half a century, will not dare to undertake such a thing again. “If man in the cotton belt who is desirous of seeing the South receive a fair price for its cotton, will join this association, we will make safe for all time to come the wonderful victory that has been gained through first, the Cotton States Marketing Board, then the holding and acreage re duction movements, then, finally by the American Cotton Associa tion which has accomplished ex traordinary results even in the initial stages of its organization. “That victory means just this: We have learned that we can take away from the eastern and foreign spinners and their bear allies, the power to control the market for this great product of our toil; that we can require and get for it a price equivalent to the cost of production plus a fair margin or profit, and we have put the world on notice that we are going to do it. “The South is going to make its victory permanent through the American Cotton Association, and this Department would be glad to see every producer, every mer chant and every banker in Geor gia, determinedly aligned under its banner.” About 650 people were engaged in taking the first census of the United States in 1790. The 1920 census will require the services of 90,000. Winter Weather and Heavy Foods. Comparatively few persons ex ercise as nnfch outdoors in winter as in summer, and at the same time almost everybody eats more heartily in cold weather. The extra work put upon digestive organs leads to indigestion, bilious ness, headache, bad breath, coated tongue, bloating, gas, constipation.

Mary Lou, the little four-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Olin Crawford, died November 16th, after an illness of three weeks. Her remains were laid to rest in Sardis cemetery. The beautiful floral offering and the large con course of relatives and friends bespoke that much sympathy was extended the family in their be reavement. She was a bright child and loved by all who knew her, but God wanted her in His kingdom where she would suffer no mope pain. She has left this world of sorrow, And no more her face we’ll see, llut upon that triad tomorrow With our loved one we shall be. Death shall call us to those mansions, Over on the golden shore, She’ll be waiting there to greet us, And will clasp us by the hand. Yes, we know that we will meet her, In those realms beyond the sky, There we’ll praise the blessed Savior, Where we’ll never say good bye. Irene. The way you use it, and not what monej you have is what really counts. —Madison Madiso nian. Should Be Quarantined. Many physicians believe that anyone who has a bad cold should be completely isolated to prevent other members of the family and associates from contracting the disease, as colds are ahont as catch ing as measles. One thing sure— the sooner one rids himself of a cold the less the danger, and yon will look a good while before yon find a better medicine than Cham berlain’s Congh Remedy to aid yon in cnring a cold.
