Great Prospects For

Poultry Raisers
in Lee County.
[ae County already has the Jargest
Poultry Farm in the State of Gecr
gia, and the farmers of this section
are heginiing to realize that this is
a paying industry—large shipments
of ¢hickens are going out daily from
lLee County while others are just
bheg nning and are receiving large
shipments of day old chicks. Mr.
J. K. Hill, a prominent Pecan grow
er of near !eesburg is receiving
weekly shipments of day old chivks
of 1,000 eacli, and also shipped
away thig weck about 75 Barred
Roek hens and Cuockerels, all
thoroughbreds and a very fine selee
tion. In the future we hope to
[ssue a Raper on the Pecan and
Poaltry mdustry of I ee County and
show the outside world what we
have to offer to the people of other

" YOUR OWN DOORSTEP
SWEEP your own doorstep! It al
ways is easier to find fault with
others than with oneself. And it is
just as true that when one goes around
looking for trouble, he’s likely to miss
more serious difliculties of his own
making.
Neglect is never excusable. If one
ig fair to his fellows, as well as him
gelf, he will always have his own
house in order before he starts out to
make others clean house. If one
wishes to find fault with the treatment
accorded him by his fellows, he should
survey his own record of actions to
ward his fellowmen.
’ Many persons are constantly making
their own lives miserable and adding
! to the sorrow of the world by com
' plaining that “the world is going to the
bow-wows,” and contending that noth
\ ing short of another deluge will bring
i sinfulness to an end. They overloook
| entirely all the many good things and
good deeds which are constantly being
- brought about by self-sacrificing indi
-3 viduals. Because people spend so much
time discussing the sordid side of life,
they come to think little of the better
side.
With all the disappointing evidences
of lawlessness and disregard for moral
laws and modesty, it is still a fact
that the vast majority are clean
minded, hard-working, law-abiding,
God-fearing men and women. If they
were not, there would be nothing new
in the wicked pathways about which
we hear so much, If the majority were
following the wrong trail the story of
sin and misery and missteps would at
tract but passing attention. The ex
ception, as usual, proves the rule.
If all those who are worried about
the “tendencies” of the age would
keep their own course straight and
would try to encourage others by their
cheerful examples, there would be less
sin in*the world. For there are few
who intentionally take the wrong
path.
One always will make his own life
happier and the world more cheerful if
he keeps his thoughts and words
focussed on the better side. i
It never pays to play with fire or to
occupy one’s time reading trash,

‘ Shakespeare’s Imagery.
There are some great writers who
are naturally disposed to simplicity
of expression, Shakespeare was not
one of these. Images swarmed in
his mind so that he had no need to
cast about for them; indeed, he
seems to have thought in images. In
modern times thought is more ab
stract; the scientific way of think
ing has affected pure literature, and
even the poets are shy of metaphor,
lest it should lead them into artifice
and irrelevance, But, though the pro
fusion of Elizabethan imagery may
sometimes distract us from the main
theme, it Is less artiticial than we
are apt to suppose. Indeed, reasoning
seems to have grown out of the use
of metaphor, just as prose has grown
out of poetry; and much of the Eliz
abethan imagery fs a symptom of
the effort to reason verse.—A. Glut
ton-Brock in “Essays on Books.”
Peace Convention in 1861.
The peace convention Is the name
given to a convention held in Wash
ington on the invitation of Virginia in
I'ebruary, 1861, just before the out
break of the Civil war, for the pur
pose df arranging a peaceful settle
ment of the difliculties between the
North and South. Fourteen free states
and seven slave states were represent
ed, and each state was allowed only a
single vote. Ex-President Tyler pre
sided over the convention. A commit
tee upon which each of the 21 states
was. represented submitted a report
recommending the adoption of certain
specified amendments to the federal
Censtitution. The report was adopt
ed by the convention. The. amend
ments urged generally favored the
South but were not wholly satisfac
tory to either section and were not
favorably received by either house of
Congress, .. - .
