Perhaps they’ll mellow and be more fit__
While I go join that lad of mine ___

HIS LARGER SPHERE
WOODROW WILSON
Unburdened of the heavy weight
Of office now, he who of late
Was leader of a Nation here may rest!
Rest? He is but released from limitations small,
To service, not for one great land alone,
But for ALL PEOPLES with his own,
For all humanity, aye, for all the race;
God, give him more courage, strength and grace,
We, who have followed him, now ask,
To take the largest, supreme, eternal task!

Poisoned By Wife
(By International News)
GREENSBORO, Ga.,, March 10.-—|
Arrests are expected as the Coroners’
jury reconvened for investigation into‘
th deeath of W. W. Williams, Greene
county farmer, in whose stomach
strong traces of arsenic were found.
Williams had been estranged from
‘his wife some time because of his
‘accusations that she was familiar with
‘a divorced neighbor but they were
still living together when he died: It
‘was brought out in the first session
}of the jury that Mrs. Williams three
weeks ago thrust a pistol against her
husband and pulled the trigger but
the weapon proved to be unloaded.
Greensboro is in an uproar. The
name of the man said to be friendly
with the woman is freely mentioned.

One Thousand Acres
Of Tobacco Locally
At least one thousand acres of to
bacco will be grown in the Fitzgerald
district this season, according to in
formation from the Dickey Tobacco
Warehouse Company. Seed was is-‘
eued in January sufficient to plant.
1,250 acres and contracts with the far
mers assure the planting of at least
one thousand. That acreage should
produce between three-quarters of a
million and a million pounds of to
bacco. The tobacco is expected to be
of generally high quality and should
average around thirty cents a pound,
bringing at least a quarter-million dol
lars into Fitzgerald, during July and
August,

WASHINGTON, March 10.—Sec
!retary Mellon announced the appoint
ment of D. R, Crissinger of Marion,
Ohio, Comptroller of Currency to

Although the country is fundamen
tally sound, it is too early to venture
prediction of an early revival in busi

said “There is every reason to feel
optimistic.” §
Our “Fortunes.”
i What we call our fortunes, good or
{ll, are but the wise dealings and dis
|tflbutlons of a wisdom higher, and a
kindness greater than our own. I sups
pose that their meaning is we should
learn, by all the uncertainties of our
life, even the smallest, how to be
brave and steady and temperate and
hopeful, whatever comes, because we
lmleu that behind it all there lles a
purpose of good, and over it all there
watches a providence of blessing.~—
