Colder Winter
Hunters Insist
ATLANTA. Ga.. Dec. 12 — Al
though it appears to be slow about
starting, there's a cold winter ahead,
according to veteran duck hunters.
Farther north indications point
to a severe freeze. Basis for this
belief comes from the discovery of
an American eider duck in New
York. It was the first seen in many
years.
Wild Life authorities claim the
eider duck emigrates this far south
only when severe weather prevails or
is expected in its usual northern
habitat. •

MISTLETOE
Mamie Ozburn Odum
A cluster torn from yon great limb
The breeze has brought to me,
Bits of creations diadem
That graced an aged tree.
Long aeons have the berries smiled;
Such a lowly type of birth,
Seed from a chance-world first beguiled
To grace fair Mother Earth.
A dozen years perchance, and more
On that great oak has grown,
It sprouted from a tiny spore
Its origin unknown.
Pray tell me why thy boughs enhance
The Yule-tide’s Holy hour,
How through the fate of circumstance
Thy waxen seed endower.
Hence came thy silent strength to wait
The elemental life,
Who gave thee strength to assimilate
Rich juices running rife?
Are you adrift, a soul long gone,
Clinging in doubt and fear,
Do you feel the glory of the morn
Watching the moons appear?
A parasite from primal years
Yet a guiding light provide
To bless the Christmas Tide!

Monkey Potato
Is Grown By
Thomaston Farmer,
THOMASTON-A bit of “monkey
business’’ was reported recently in
the potato patch of one G. R. Gian
ton of Thomaston. This farmer has
produced a sweet potato that has
striking chimpanzee characteristics,
with realistic bulges ' for
ears, a
plow-graxed scratch for mouth, and
roots growing out the surfaces where
eyes and nose would ordinarily be.
