“The Kiss That Counted.”
I kissed her in the moonlight,
I kissed her in the dark,
I kissed her in the parlor,
1 kissed her in the park,
I fooled the other fellow,
I left him in the lurch,
1 kissed her almost every
where —
But lie kissed her in the
church.

The citizens of Conyers
should be, and no doubt are,
extremely proud of their school.
It is one of the few in Georgia
that has the distinction of being
owflthe southern accredited list.
It prepares o»r children for the
best colleges and universities
and without entrance examina
tions. Aside from this tlie
building will compare favorably
with that of any other town or
city in the state.
Let’s rally to its support and
keep it on the high plane it has
already attained,

We all agree that the farm,
at least rwo seasons of the year
watermelon and hog-killing is
the greatest place in the world.
Watermelon time brings in
roastingears too, and if we had
a ten acre field in corn we
would do our level best to eat
the last bit of the corn while
in roastingears. We sometimes
wonder how it is that we can’t
Lave watermelons and roasten
ingears ripening at all seasons
of the year. We like Spaulding
county and her people, hut if
some one were to tell us that
there is a country where water
melons and roastening ears
ripen all seasons of the year,
we would say, “Lead us to it.”

No matter what kind of a
system of taxation is passed by
the Legislature this year, the
burden will stay right where it

es The richer a person gets
in Georgia, the less t xes he

Brother, we quite agree with
you, if you mean a person rich
in grace; but if he is rich in
dollars, the tax collector will
camp on his trail till he gets
his tax.
Those farmers are to be ad

If the Legislature does noth
ing but abolish the so called

The county editors (poor
devils) have been fed and win
ed and dined and hoocked and
now they are back home on
corn bread and greens luit even
at that we wont swap places
with a dyspeptic with a barrel
of money. What the dickens
does a man want with money
if he can’t eat anyway. There
is nothing on earth as big as a
when he does get on parade
somebody has come to town. —

We do not think that nature
intended Greene County to he
a cotton county. Dairying and
live stock will be our long suit.
Bermuda, alfalfa, clovers, in
fact all kinds of feed stuff can
be grown here with little effort.
But, our farmers —mott o
them —are just hell bent on
trying to raise cotton.

He sure to shock cure your

Don’t know whether it is
propaganda or fact hut is being
