According to the medical column of

A Thought for the Evening
A VERSE AND A VIGNETTE
By Dan G.Bickers
YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW.
Aye, Yesterday is gone. It had it’s life,
Its loves anr hates and peace and strife ;
It has bequeathed its treasure, too,
Unto the present. . But it left for me to do
The task unfinished and the job undone,
A multitude of duties, when the sun
Was setting, uncompleted! ’Tis for me
To fiish these before I shall essay
To do the full-day’s work today,
And then, if if I shall have the strength,
At least to well begin the work I know
Tomorrow must accomplish quickly so
Tomorrow shall find Today the more :
Thoughtful anr faithful than the day before!

And it was a craven and mean thing __
Then Fear told the truth ___

SIDE STORIES FROM THE CURB MARKET
Shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, just as the Curb Market was
bidding farewell to ‘its last customers,
a man rushed in from the Seaboard
train and almost out of breath. “Have
you any eggs left,” he panted. “I've
come all the way from Atlanta to be
at this curb market!”
(The man was C. T. Owen, County
Demonstration Agent, who had been
attending the Farm Bureau meeting in
Atlanta from which he related he “has
some wonderful stories to tell).”
COFFEE COUNTY
TAKES NOTICE
“Whatare the little sticks you have
in your basket?” asked a man who
‘had come up from Coffee county to
see “what in tarnation a curb market
was.” Why, they are sassafras roots
‘to make tea,” the lady replied. “You
‘mean you bought ‘em?’ heasked in
‘astonishment. “Why yes, of course,”
she replied.
' On closer investigation he declared
\himself very much encouraged.
“Why,” he sald enthusiattically, “just
fthink what my old sassafras field might
Ilbe' worth some day.” L

To Our Patrons:
Our supply of six column size newspaper is rapidly
being exhausted and it will be impossible to get a new
supply this month. As a result, we will have to use seven
column size paper of which we have ample supply, for the
daily and tri-weekly beginning Monday.
Our plant is not prepared for publishing a daily paper
of that size and will be badly handicapped and put at con
siderable financial loss unless we can reduce the time and
cost of getting out the paper by having one full page stand
ing and ready for publication.
To overcome this difficulty and to enable us to give
Fitzgerald people an even better daily next week tnan
before, we are going to ask our advertisers to buy space in
a “trade extension page” to be run Tuesdays’ Thursdays
and Saturdays until April 9th, or until the daily is discon
tinued if it is discontinued before that time. There will be
twenty-eight spaces in his page and will cost only $4.50 per
space per week.
If our advertisers will help us in this we will order
twice as much telegraph service as we are carrying this
week and thus give our subscribers—the customers of our
advertisers—a news service twice as good.
Sincerely,

to get a mess for dinner,” declared a
prominent truck grower as he wiped
the perspiration from his brow and
gasped for breath. =
They love the thrills, but they'd
rather have the frills! :
ENERGETIC GARDNERS
“We had a mess of peas last weck
out of our own garden,” said a little
bride proudly as she witnessed the
disapointment of those who failed to
get any.
“Yes, and when we shelled them
we had seventeen peas,” confided the
heartless wretch at her side.
ONLY ONE ACCIDENT
“Saw such a crowd here I thought
you had had an accident,” said a citi-‘
zen of an adjoining county as he drew
up to get his first insight into the curb
market.
“Yes, we have had an accident,” said
a man who had ‘sold out”’ It is an
an accident that we found out some
good things that these. good people
would like to have, and we are trying
to bring it to them since they are
giving us a chance.”
READY CASH
“Yes, some grocers might work up a
little ‘grouch over the curb market,”
said one nice grocer to a lady custo
mer. “But one lady who sold a little
more than ten dollars worth came up
and paid me her account and gave me
a nice order besides.”
A NEW MIST
“Have you ever heard of a pepto
mist?” Asked a good citizen at Sat
urday’s market. : ;
“Why, ngo I've heard of pessimists
and optimists. But what is this new
kind?” : :
“A peptomist is a person who does
things,” replied the g. ¢. “And in my
opinion the people who started this
market are peptomists.”
Beliefs About Parsley.
It was. said that parsiey seed went
nine times to the devil before coming
up. If parsley weré sown on any day
except Good Friday, it was thought
that it would not come up curly. In
ancient Greece the graves were strewn
with parsley. ‘lt was and Is today
deemed unlucky to transplant parsley,
The children were told that the new
baby had been found in_ the parsley
bed.

A Sermon to Live By
By Rev* Elam Franklin Dempsey, D. D.
: : “IT IS THE LORD’S DOINGS”
....S¢ripture: Matt. 21:33-46.
This parable was spoken in the Temple at Jerusalem on Tuesday
before the Crucifixion. It is the history in picture of Isreal, the visi
ble church of God, and,, towards its conclusion passes up out of his
tory into prophecy. Lo i Eit eG R
The vineyard is a common figure in the Bible for Isreal. Jesus
here takes the passage in Isaiah 5: 1-7 as the basis of his parable. Al
so, as showing how his mind was embued with Old Testament
thought, feeling,"and speech observe that His application as well as
Fiis parable is drown from Psalm 118 an! Daniel 2. Should we not,
also have minds saturated with God’s Wo:d? John 5:39.
Note how circucstantial is our Lord’s description of the vineyard.
“Planted,” “hedged,” digged a wine-press,” “built a tower,” “let it
out.” Why all this detail? In order to put before our minds how
carefully, how faithfully, He had prepared for what He sought—
“fruit.” I the light. of this we can better appreciate His disappoint
ment.
| Note again, His amazing forebearance toward the wicked hus
‘bandmen. So He was, indeed, seen to be in such histories as the
sending of Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah and many others.
However, His forebearance is not forever. This is seen in Jesus,
acceptance from their own lips of the verdict in verse 41. The mercy
of God is desingned to lead us to repentance, not presumption. ‘
Note, further, the inconceivable wickedness of the hushandmen—
they would not reverence the Son, the only Son, the well-beloved,
even though they knew Him to be such. Rather they were so de
praved that in unreasonable reasoning they decided to kill Him.
“The _supreme sophist is sin,” whose victim is the sinner. Sin is
ever shortsighted. The rulers who are condemned warn all le~dirs
in the Church in every age against becoming “lords over God's her
atige,” against the error that they own the Church. God, rather,
owns the church and they-—lcaders in it though they are—His ser
ants called by Him to take care of His Church. It'is a dangerous
thing to crush any movement in the church by means of the strong
arm of administration. More than once since Christ, by this nieans,
priphets have been rejected. Remember Luther, remember Wes
ley. These, like their Master, proved a stone of stumbling to self
seeking churchmen; also, like Him and with Him they have become
‘the head of the corner. “It is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in
our eyes.”
