Some wise party has said: *“No
body ever ran a successful corner on
happiness.”
The President surely has enough
worry these days to drive an ordinary
man crazy. \ &
i
There is no excuse for anyone td
allow his or her stock of smiles to
run low or become shop worn.
Two things you can always count
on cropping out in the springtime—
the baseball spirit and Bermudha grass.
Since the sun has been shining inf
Jasper farmers all over the county
have been busy committing the'
“overt act.”
Plots and counter-plots are in vogue
today. To the cotton farmer in Geor
gia the greatest plot is to annihilate
Mr. B. Weevil.
An exchange gives out the follow
ing admonition: “Don’t tell all you
know. Keep a little for seed.” Of
course this applies to everybody.
Mr. Farmer, you can now begin to.
put into practice plans which you
formulated in the winter. Did you
plan to increase your hog and corn
crops? B :
" What has become of the old-time
spring poet who used to outpour his
thoughts and sentiments on “Spring
would be but dreary weather, if we
had nothing else but Spring?”
Members of the Monticello Chapter,
United Daughters of the Confederacy,
are making preparations for a great
time Memorial Day. Hon. Threatt
Moorc:. of Jackson, has accepted the
invitation to deliver the annual ad
dress,
The tantalizing news is given out
by those who profess to know that
the cold weather left enough boll
weevils to destroy the entire cotton
crop. We refnse to think of the
havoe that would have been played if
all the weevils escaped destruction
this year by freezing.
Every nook, corner, suburb, ridge,
hill, vale, and dell of dear old Jasper
county is represented in the county
correspondence in this morning's
Monticello News. If it is “home"”
news you want just "ske;ch" these
newsy items furnished by the best
correspondents any where in Georgia.
An exchange says:
A man wouldn't go to sleep in
the church if the rostrum had
footlights in foot of it, and the
minister was a female garbed in
a rag, a daub of red paint and a
smile,
When a girl first starts using
rouge, she is satisfied to tint her
cheek bones. But a little later
she is putting the stuff on with a
putty knife. \
Stop—look—llisten: A good num
ber of the citizens of Monticello and
Jasper county are too careless of
their own welfare. We know it
How? By a test recently made in
Monticello by an official of the Cen:
tral of Georgia railroad who was sent
here to make a record for one day of
the number of persons who “stop
look-listen” before crossing railroad
tracks. On front page of this issue of
The News is the record as made by
the citizens who crossed the railroad
tracks that day in this city. The
presence of this official was unknown
to those who passed across the rail-
road’s tracks. and the result of his
day's watching proves fairly that a
’lu'n number of people here do not
heed the warning at each raliroad
‘crossing but, instead, go over the rails
‘without either stopping or looking.
The Central of Georgia has begun an
active campaign against accidents at
rallroad crossings a majority of which
are due to carelessness on the part
of pedestrians and . drivers of ve
hicles and you can do your part in
this effort simply by stopping, look
ing and listening before you cross a
railroad track. It's more to your in
terest to do this than anyone else's.
