A BADGE OF GREATNESS
he gifted man bears his gifts into
world, not for his own benefit, but
the people among whom he is plae
for the gifts are not his, he himself
gift to the community. That the
way Life gives gifts to the people;
raps them up in men, and sends
m forth. If then the bearer purloins
gifts for his own use, and turns
ability to serve into an excuse for
rlordship and exploitation of those
0 need him, he is a traitor to the
averse. Every kind of ability or su
P'ty is an obligation. Here is the
tion of all racial, national, class
individual problems. Service is the
fa of the great. There is no great¬
's without it.—Ford.

FIVE WORDS CAUSE OF
MURDER
Perhaps not a dozen people know
a short sentence of five words, written
on the margin of a weekly newspaper,
set in motion the investigation which
gives promise of developing one of the
most sensational criminal cases in the
history of Georgia.
“Sin has made this possible.”
These five words were written in a
feminine hand. They were written on
the margin of a copy of the Washington
•News-Reporter issued in May, which ear
ried a single announcement of the re¬
cent marriage of Dr. J. G. Saggus, of
Harlem, and Mrs. Corrie Johnson Wil¬
banks, of this county, which had taken
place only a few days previous in Au¬
gusta.
The newspaper clipping from the so¬
cial column of the local paper, bearing
the cabalistic sentence bore no signa¬
ture or other identifying marks of its
author. It was mailed in a plain envel¬
ope to R. E Walker, a brother of the
first Mrs. Saggus, in Atlanta.
Rumors, doubtless born of idle gossip,
had been borne to relatives of the first
Mrs, Saggus concerning the attentions
said to have been lavished by Dr. Sag
guc upon the wife of his neighbor anj
patient, Charles W. Wilbanks. Coming
so soon after the death and burial of
his wife, these rumors unquestionably
had their effect. But no steps were ta¬
ken looking to a legal investigation of
the causes leading up to the death of
Mrs. Mary Walker Saggus until the
receipt by Mr. Walker of the printed
notice and its written addendum by an
anonymous writer.
COVINGTON TEACHERS ATTEND

closed Monday, the figures exceeding
any in the history of previous opening
days. The registration committee are
safe in the belief that 1500 will attend.
The Covington students write that
many courtesies are being extended by
Athens firms and theatres.
MRS. .CANDLER’S BRIDGE .CLUB
A pretty affair honoring Mrs. Nat
Walker, of Monticello and Mrs. Harry
King Brooks of Washington, was the
bridge party given by Mrs. Charles
Candler.
The Godfrey home featured a collec¬
tion of ragged robins, snap dragons and
gladioli in the floral motif. The menu
was exquisite in service. Mrs. Candler
was assisted by Mrs. Samuel Green.

white georgette, with trimmings of
Pearls and lace bands. The long trailing
veil, fashionable in cap effect, was of
filmy tulle, and was worn with a wreath
of orange blossoms. The bridal bouquet

A SHORT TALK
THE HUMAN BRAIN
By J. Marvin Rast,
Whoever watches a typewriter, ad¬
ding machine, or reaper in action is of
necessity caused to marvel at the ac¬
complishments of the human brain. No
wonder it is said that the inventor of
one of these machines lost his mind
when he beheld his work completed, for
surely he had imparted his brain to a
bundle of intricate cogs, springs, and
levers.
This creative power renders the brain
of man distinct from all others. There
are apes in the jungle with a surprising
degree of intelligence. They dexterously
swing from tree to tree, gather their
food, and travel where they will with
ease. But they leave the rivers unspan¬
ned, the seas void of commerce, the
growth of the forest unmolested, and
the general complexion of things un¬
changed. So far can they go, but no
farther. Not so with man; his creative
works are illimitable, wherever he has
gone, change has followed—usually that
change which we call progress.
Physiologically or psychologically con¬
sidered, the human brain continues to
be the greatest wonder of the world—
greater than the pyramids of Egypt, the
Colossus of Rhodes, the aeroplane, or
the radio, for it is all these and more be¬
sides. Just as God is greater than man,
so is the brain of man greater than its
creatures.
But the brain to be creative must be
exercised. Put your arm in a sling for
a month and note the degree of impo¬
tence that results. Similarly reasoning,
is it surprising that a brain kept in a
state of inactivity should become a neg¬
ligible quantity? Not at all. Search wher
you will for the secret of progress and
success; you will find no better word to
define it than; Activity.
“The heights that great men reached
and kept
Were not reached by sudden flight;
But they, while their companions
slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.”
It is this ceaseless toiling of the brain
that lifts the race to nobler living. Is
your brain doing its part, or is it in a
*ling?

der, after spending three weeks with

TURKEY GOBBLER HATCHES AS
WAS SCHEDULED
Mr. A. V. Johnson announces that
his majesty, “Sitting Gobbler”, has ful¬
filled all specifications, conditions and
regulations, according to tune and sea¬
son.
And on the last day of the fourth
week, said Gobbler sallied forth with a
brood of chickens and guineas. The tur¬
key eggs, refusing to mix with such
freakish and unnatural deviations of the
lordly race, remained unresponsive to
the gobbler’s efforts.
Leaving the barn, the scene of his la¬
bors, the proud father (or mother) pro
ceeded to the house, presumably to put
his offspring under the watchcare of the
Johnson family. En route, a ditch was
encountered, which he crossed in safety
but not so the ‘biddies”. They squirmed
and wiggled, and did not pass. The gob¬
bler retraced his steps and calmly gath¬
ered his children together, as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her wings’
and remained there until help appeared.
The gobbler is faithful in all of his
self-imposed relations; the most fastid¬
ious critic can find no fault with his at¬
tentions. The maternal instinct Is firmly
fixed in his breast.
Wherefore then shall be his reward?
On Thanksgiving, thou shalt die; is
the Johnson edict now gone forth.
Poor, unprofitable feminist, victim cf
a cruel, relentless world, peace be to
thy misguided yearnings!
May it be a prophetic warning to the
man race” to know his place, and
henceforth and forever hold therein.
CAMPBELL-OYVENS
The home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Camp
bell was the scene of a beautiful wed¬
ding Saturday evening, June 24th, at
6:30 o’clock, when their elder daughter,
Miss Hettie Clyde Campbell, became the
bride of Mr. Julian Theodore Owens. As
the guests arrived punch was dispensed
on the spacious veranda by Mrs. J. N.
Leonard. Mrs. A. E. Coogler, of Mans¬
field, assisted Mrs. Campbell in receiv¬
ing the guests.
The wedding music was rendered by
Miss Emily Leonard. Several appropri¬
ate selections were played preceding the
ceremony. To the strains of Mendels¬
sohn’s wedding march the groom and
his best man, Mr Clifford Campbell, the
brother of the bride, proceeded to the
living room, which had been made at¬
tractive with its decorations of pot flow¬
ers and vases and bowls of cut flowers.
They were followed by the bride and her
matron of honor, Mrs C. H. Berry, sister
of the groom. Barcarolle was softly
played while the vows were plighted.
Burning tapers cast a soft glow over
the scene. Lohengrin’s march was used
as a recessional.
Rev. H. B. Mays performed the cere¬
mony very impressively.
The bride’s wedding gown was white
georgette, hand embroidered. A white
picture hat and bouquet of bride’s roses
completed a very becoming toilette.
The matron of honor was gowned in
pink organdie and carried pink roses.
Mr. and Mrs. Owens will be at home
’to their many friends at the home of
the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J J.
Owens, near Almon.
MARION DAVIES, STAR
In “The Bride’s Play”, to be shown In
Covington Friday, Marion Davies has a
vehicle that not only is the last word in
gorgeousness of setting and beauty of
story, but one that presents her at her
best as an actress of charm, vivacity,
winsomeness and appeal. Many thous¬
ands of dollars and several months’ ef¬
fort were spent in the making of “The
Bride's Play”—and the picture shows
that the expenditure was not in vain.
Ki-ats, the poet, said, “A thing of
beauty is a joy forever.” If this be true
‘The Bride’s Play” is destined to live
long as a picture, because it is verily a
thing of beauty—beauty that is rare, de¬
lightful as a spring zephyr, sweet as the
perfume of the rose.
Miss Davies has risen rapidly to fame
on the screen. She left Ziegfeld’s “Fol¬
lies” to enter motion pictures, and her
success was instantaneous.
EXTRA PICTURE TUESDAY, JULY 4
The Lyric will run Tuesday afternoon
and evening, July fourth, presenting
“The Woman God Changed”. A Cosmo¬
politan Production.
Once she had reigned in the gayest
palace on Broadway. Until—?
Now, fled to a sleepy South Sea isle,
she danced to forget her fear. Hoping
ever that the world had lost her.
But a New York detective stepped
from the motley crowd one night, and
—That was where her real life began!
Dreams may be suppressed wishes, as
Freud says, but who ever wished a dev¬
il would chase him down the street in
his nightclothes?
