FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1922,
Build your home in strength and
comfort by pat, ronizing her industries
and institutions, not only for one
week, but for all time—then Georgia
and her children shall come into
their own.

Maybe you think the farmers are
not tearing the very life out of the
grass in culdvating the growing
crops. This very thing they are
doing. The weather has been good,
their energies are great and the
prospect is for a bountiful crop in
all lines.

WHICH OR BOTH.
Does a town make a paper or
does a paper make a town? The
making is not onesided. Kach is
epsentially necessary to the other.
A good paper cannot be published
in a town that does not support it.
Any community can count, however
on as the editor and management of
their paper giving them just as
good a sheet as the support allows.
His pride guarantees this. A good
paper is the best possible advertize
ment of the town and community
where it is published and it may be
taken for granted that it cannot be
good if the people are not respon
give to its spirit. Are you support
ing your paperas you should and
as it deserves?
DON'T GET BIT,
We would impress a caution upon
our people, and especially upon
those who venture the fields and
woods for the luscious plum and
berries or who invade the fastnesses
of the swamps in quest of the ideal
spot upon which to sit and lure the
fish from the purling streams
which add their trickling quota of
water to the wide, wide sea, that
this is the season for the deadly
rattle-enake, and that they must
avoid them.
The day was when we were some
**snake-doctor,”’ though now, since
the laws of the land have so changed
as to interfere with the manufacture
and distribution of the proper anti
dotes for the venom of these deadly
reptiles, we have no recommenda
tions to make except that all fight
shy of them.
s o e o slB i
COME AND SEEUS.
We find on our subseription books
the names of a great many people
whom we have not the pleasure of
personally knowing. We most cor-‘
dially invite everyone to visit our
office though extend unto those
whom we have not met a special
invitation to come in and see us.
Wewant to know all of them and
we want them to know us and to
feel free and that it will be appre
ciated when they come in and
greet us and give us news dots or
their ideas regarding matters per
taining to the welfare of this city
and county.

MADE IN GEORGIA WEEK,
Fitting indeed is the designation
of Georgia Products Week, which is
to be generally observed throughout
the state, wherein we are to consume
and ensoursge the consumption of
the products of our own gorl, shops
and mines,
We would not appear selfih unto
our fellow states nor unto our neigh
bor country, yet we would stress the
importance of loyalty to home and
to the patronage of her cvery insti
tation. .
Georgia, the Empire State of the
South, she whose head is lifted high
into the Cumberland mountains
wherein lie untold treasures in gold,
coal, marble and the baser metals
and minerals for the digging, and
whose feet are ‘dipped into the romp
ing waters of the Atlantic whose
turbulent tides cast up their fish for
the eatehing—she whose broad ex
panse embraces more acreage than
any other state except Texas and
whose every foot of soil is abloom
with beauty, progress and prosperity
deserves first of all the patronage of
her sons and daughters.
Truly has it been said that in
Georgia you have but to tikele the
soil and she laughs with harvest
Then, since we are possessed of all
these resources, many of them as yel
but partially develped, why, oh why
should we garner our necesgities
from foreign shores or even from
our sister states?
Look about your home. From
whence came your furniture that
makes it so comfortable? Why
should your dishes and receptacles
be marked from Pekin when iu
abounding plenty the raw material
for their make-up are at your door?
Why Italian marble or Pennsylvania
granite as markers to our dead or as
monuments to the heroic living?
Whose cotton fields are these and
from whence comes the goods that
we wear? Howmany cows browse
the numberless hills of this dear
state yet from whence comes the
leather in our choes, harness, ete.?
Whose dye-stuffs are there decay
ing rocks that lie pocketed in the
earth and which the Indians used
so artistically and handed the idea
to our fathers, yet the use of which
has been abandoned for those of
foreign make? These, yea and
thousands of other commodities are
ours, yet we gaze beyond them when
in need of just such. Is it right,
is it true loyalty or reasonable
philosophy?
ARKANSAS “MEWSINGS”
The man who wen't listen to reason
{s usually thinking the same thing
about you.
Mighty bad to fall by the wayside,
but it's worse than bad to lie there
and holler, when you might rise and
run,
The lad who is always telling you
that banks are not safe is the same
fellow who never has anything to put
in them,
The summer dresses are to be tight
with loose éffect, They must expect
them to look like a girl who has had
too many cocktalls.
Don't llke that expression, “Prosper
ity's Jjust 'round the corner.” Pros
perity has been cornered too many
times by a willful group of watchful
walters,
Don't stop to measure happiness,
but if you do, don't worry when it
runs over the rbun—for some : poor
soul'll get it on the lonesome way.—
Arkansaw Thomas Cat.
