This i# a funny old world, indecd.
A while back the people were buy
ing a lot of things they didn’t need,
no matter what the price; now they
won’t huy a lot of things they really
need, no matier how low the price.
They didi’t save while saving was
easy and now they try to save while
gaving is hard as the dickens.
Is there a limit in Georgia on
the rumber and size of fish taken
from the pearling stream<? llf
there is it’s time for thefish-warden
to get busy. Another party of
camping fishermen have gone to
Satilla this week with rod, reel and
the necessary bait to catch and talk
about the fish they got.
B
Last week we heard a citizen re
mark that the worst trouble with the
country was that the vpeople had
quit work and were standing around
and waiting for the boll weevil or
gomething else in the form of a Lu
gaboo to come along and eat them
up.
Well, we dont know about that,
but we do know that a farmer who
has plenty of meat and bread at
home is not going to starve this
year, even though he may not have
any money to spend. He can sit
down to three square meals a day,
and that’s much better than many
of usean boast who are off the
farms and digging daily for thecon
tents of a small paper sack al meal
time.
ONE ON US.
One of our delinquent subscribers
(and we have several more of {hem
than we really appreciate) came in,
a few days since, with an apology
for not paying np, and promised to
doso ‘‘when times get better.”
**Yes, says the editor, but do you
think we can live on wind?"’
Don’t know positively about
that,”” says the Delinquent, ‘‘but
from the way you're always blowing
hot air, I just supposed that you
could.”
THE OTHER FELLOWS SISTER.
People areoften heard to make
suggestive remarks concerning young
women whom they see on the
strects— but never when a husky
male relative i 8 present.
Generally, there is no thought of
injuring the innocent object of these
remarks. They., are Dborn in
thoughtlessness and uttered ina
spirit of Idleness, vet they cany a
sting that lasts. |
If men would confine their
remarks to such as they would ap
prove, if made regarding their own
sisters, or such as they would make
in the presence of the father or
brother of the girl, there would b«
ess victons remarks and innuendoes
circulating from lip to lip, and fewer
heartaches when the idle gossip
reaches the parties concerned.
The Lord made tongues that they
might be used to good purpose; yet
the devil often twists them to his
evil ways. It makes a world of
difference when it is the other fel
lows sister. |
Speak gantly of others and they ‘
will seldom be heard to syeak
harshly of you ‘

YOU'D BETTFR LET UP!
During the period of the World
War there were twice as many peo
ple killed by autemobiles as were
killed in the war, and yet every day
one can see the laws of the country
defied as Lo the regulations of motor
traflic. é
Right here in Lcesburg, where
the town hag bheen dubbed *"Slecping
Beauty’’'— where but little passing
to and fto is indulged and where
the streets are wide and clean, can
be seen, daily, an indulgence in the
breaking of the speed laws that is
detrimental and dangerous to lile
and limb, and for which there ig no
need or excuse,
What’s the idea? Better quit
it while quitting is good or there’ll
be a funcral and acourt scrape plac
ed to someones eredit
A word to the wise should be

A young man remarked the other
day that it looked so funny to sce

SEASON TO SOON OPEN AT
TYBEE. ‘
During the coming season Week-
End Excursion fares to Tybee and to‘
other seashore and mountain resorts
will be offered by the Central of
Gorgia Railway. This is an opportu
nity that has not been offered the
traveling public since 1916, and one‘
that will boubtless stimulate travel,
as the very attractive rate of 60 per,
cent, of double the one-way fare is!
quoted. '
In addition to the Week-End Rates,
the Central is also quoting Summer|
Tourist Rates, good until October 31.‘
These are for seashore, lake and;
mountain resorts in the Southeast,l
and to all parts of the United States!
and Canada. These Summer Tourist!
Rates are on a basis of 80 per cent.
of double the one-way fare, and are
10 per cent, less than last year.
These substantial reductions in pas
senger fares will enable people to
travel cheaper than they have in the
past six years. The new rates go in
to effect May 19, and will all remainl
in effect until September 23. The
Week-End Rates will appeal particu-i
larly to those who wish to run-over
to the nearby resorts for over Sun-:
day. Tickets will be on sale Fridays
and Saturdays, and will permit the
purchaser to return to .the starting
point midnight of the following Tues
day.
Tybee will open for the season on
May 13. Tybrisa, the big dancing
pavilion and bathhouse will be better
than ever this year. It is now being
repainted and renovated and put in
the best of condition for the crowds
of tourists. The beach is in fine
shape, and a supply of new bathing
suits, new towels, and other equip
ment has just been received.
The Olympia Sextette, one of Sa
vannah’s famous orchestras, has beer
engaged for the season and will fur
nisk music. The hotels and boarding
houses at Tybee are preparing for a
big season. Many conventions will be
on the Island, and indieations point
to the most interesting summer in
several years at this popular place of
vesort.
The Week-End Fare from Ogle
thorype to Tybee is $9.35 and the
Summer Tourist Rate good for the
entire summer is $13.00.

the trade as the best for

~ As We See It.
We notice several of our pio
ninent eitizens are going out a
fishing trip today. ‘‘Wonder if the
minnosws are biting well enough to
fill the fruit jars they carry along *’
Si Hoskins our most efficient
sheriff and keeper of peace, gave a
most interesting lecture on the Court
house square Sunday morning, on
how to make good “‘stuff,”” he also
had the apparatus to demonstrate
on. A large crowd was present,
We heard two farmers arguring
who made the best crop. One said
e made so many oats that he could
not shoek them on the ground he
made them on.
A citizen of our town had a bath
tub installed on Monday. [le says
e can hardly wait until Saturday
night to try it out.
.ee County has some of the best
farming lands in the South, the
corn crop averages 40 gollons to the
acre.
A lady passed a striking compli
ment on our deyil this morning,
about his good looks. However an
Optician is billed to be here in a
few days. Don’t miss him.
It is a curious coinecidence that
every time the wind flirts with a
pretty girls dress, it also blows sand
in the P& D.’s eves.
The city council will shortly be
asked to muzzle all four legged degs
of our town?

hibiting Cattle, Horses and Hoge

of the Marshal to put them up and

WEDDING LORE
It is good luck if the wedding gift
arriving first is silver. :
To break a wedding present before
the wedding means trouble.
If the bride receives much table lin
en her family will never want food.
" “If you wish & strife, between man
and wife, present them with a silver
knife.”
As many ironholders as are given to
you when married, 80 many boys will
you have, ;
For the bride to recelve a pileced
quilt as a wedding gift brings great
good luck.
If among the wedding presents there
happens to be & matech box, the bride
will marry twice.
The groom should wear something
that was given him as a present if he
wishes good luck.
If you receive a piano as a wedding
gift and cannot play on it you and
your husband will part.
Present the bride with a small ball
of twine, which as it decreases de
notes an increase of fortune.
Duplicate presents should not be
changed unless one is willing to take
& chance on changing their luck.
If a bride wishes to always retain
her husband’s love and confidence, she
should never wear to the altar any
thing that was given her by a male
friend. .
