Many men have high and noble j
ideas which they are always harping
on, but fail to live up to. Such peo¬
ple do mpre harm than good and have
on record their own condemnation
They are like the old prilosopher who
wrots, “I know the right and approve
of it. hut love and practice the wrong
where Hen they to the fine, let the chips j
may,” is a good maxim
for a newspaper. We all know that
perfection is not possible in the fami¬
ly <>f humans, and no two things are
exactly alike. An editor may be do¬
ing his full duty and yet fail to meet
the approval of everybody—in fact,
some opposition may be a proof that
he is endeavoring at least to do his
full duty. Remember the fable of "The
Old Man and His Ass,” in trying to
please everybody, he pleased nobody
and lost hia ass into the bargain.
THE COUNTY FAIR.
The big 1920 Newton County Fair
will open up on October 4th. lasting
six days, and in many parts of
the county, people areMalking fair,
but the great question is are you do¬
ing more than talking?
What are your products? Is yours
cattle county? What is the grade of
stock? poor or up todate? Are your
farmers interested in hog raising,
and if so, what are the standard
breeds? Do you show well in the
poultry line? And how about horses
and mules? What crops are grown?
These are questions that pop up
every time when a visitor or prospec¬
tor comes to this section, and the best
answer, as well as advertisement of
its products the county can giye, is
the Annual Fair. This properly car¬
ried out and patronized is the best and
piost public answer to all such ques¬
tions. There, the visitor or prospec¬
tive settler can see in a few hours,
just what the county can do in the
matter of raising crops and stock, and
where a fair is allowed to drop or
fall behind, through lack of energy or
enthusiasm on the part of its citizens,
or on some false idea of economy, the
whole community is sure to suffer.
Our people should take this important
matter earnestly to heart, and
every effort to make the Annual
a success. It is the big ad of the
t.v, and like the merchant who fails
tell the public what he has to
and so loses customers, so the farm
ing community will lose
by failure to let the public know what
can be raised in his locality..
TYPHOID FEVER.
Georgia is losing several
citizens each year from the
of typhoid fever. Poor
mostly about our rural and suburban
homes is mainly responsible,
though many of these homes
clean and neatly kept so far as
interior is concerned. The
closet is a great danger, since
house fly. which breeds by the thous¬
ands in horse manure, cow
and other vegetable matter, is sure
frefpjent the surface privy and
contaminated. Children whb live in
the slums of cities have a
chance for life than those who
where surface closets exist.
one in Georgia who is surrounded with
hazardous sanitary conditions should
write to the State Board of Health.

tary closet.
