Armistice day would be a good

Passing the buck is quite a fad
in this old country of ours. Pass

owe and letting him pass it on to
the fellow he owes and so on is a
fad that ought to be popular now,
provided we have the dollar.

Senator Watson declared that
there were a number of instances
where privates in the recent war
were shot by their own officers
w ithout a trial. However when his
hand is called he so far refuses
to produce evidence for the same.
Same old Tom with the same old

An Atlanta daily says that tol
erance and patronage of the blind
tiger is the cause of the crime
wave in that city. Sure it is, that
is the cause of the crime wave ev
erywhere. and that's why decent
folks who love law and order
should be ; ggressive against the
illicit whisky business.
In response to the advertise
ment last week that the county
wCD ted to buy 20 mules Tuesday
a large number of farmers brought
them in. They were good looking
stock too. Reminded one of the

than in those good old court
jockey days.
MEANS BIG THINGS
The business men of LaFayette
! adopted what is known as the Neo
sho plan of town and community
development at a meeting here
Monday night The main plank in
the plan is cooperation. There are
• three distinct phases of the plan,
|namely, the farmer’s monthly
sales day, the special bargain day
and the rural development fea
ture.
The plan if properly worked
will bring a better understanding
and a better feeling between the
'people of the town and country,
I will mean better profits to the
• farmers and business men, and
j will mean progress in town and
j county life.
! In a large number of towns and
| cities the plan is in operation to
! day and is a decided success. La
j Fayette is one of the sixteen
itowns along the Central of Geor
gia railroad that has adopted the
I plan, and the towns that have put
| the plan into operation in Geor
gia are loud in their praise of the
w’onderful results obtained.
Full announcement of the plans
will be made from time to
time through the columns of this
paper.
HAVE WE FORGOTTEN
THEM?
The stories from the hospitals
where the ex-service men are be
ing treated make a strong appeal
to the patriotism and loyalty of
j the people of the country to stand
hack of these heroes of undying
Tame. They are not complaining,
for they have all they need so far
as physical comforts are concern
ed and their compensation is be
ing taken care of by the Govern
ment and the Red Cross society.
They are being cared for in these
'hospitals by Red Cross nurses,
who are the ministering angels to
these languishing sons who went
'across for our freedom.
They arc not complaining the
stories say, but they are hunger
ing for the human companionship
and the enthusiasm for them that
was demonstrated on the day they
marched off to war. They feel that
everything is being done for their
physical comfort, but they need
the human touch of friends. It is
a pathetic story, and makes one
wonder if we have forgotten our
first days of enthusiasm for the
heroes as we bid them God speed
when they left for camp.
The Red Cross is doing a won
derful work of mercy and love
for these men and if we cannot
visit the hoys in the hospitals we
should let the Red Cross know
that we still have a heart and a
dollar or more and are willing to
•make strong the arms of the Red
Cross as they represent us to the
ex-service men in hospitals. The
Fifth American Red Cross Roll
Call which will begin with Walk
,'er Chapter on Monday after Ar
mistice day, is the opportunty.
“MONEY ON THE MOVE’’
‘ It seems to be somethug of a
pay-up proposition all around in
•Georgia, now that business is on
•the upgrade.
That is. as far as the people are
able to pay, they are either can
celling old obligations or doing
what they can to bring them down
to an easier pacing basis.
Speaking for the southwest Ga.,
i section of the state —and it ap
plies all over—The Albany (Ga.)
J Herald has this editorial para
graph—
“lt is a great thing to pay what
you can pay. A lot of people who
can’t settle accounts in full, settle
them in part, and it’s a mighty
good way to keep the wheels of
business turning.
A little here and a little there,
keeps eash in eirculaton and is a
great busines- stiymlaut.

ly. And ti.e producer pays when
he sells.
In this connection The La-
Grange (Ga.) Reporter says—
“lf you have only a dollar, Jet
it do all it can in the intricate
task of clearing up the books. A
dollar will accomplish a great deal
by the time it goes through doz
! ens of hands. Too, when you turn
your dollar loose to the man who
needs it in order to pay somebody
' else, you set an example which
will have a large influence in
| causing other people to turn their
dollars into the channels of re
lief.
“Let’s do all we can!”
■That’s the spirit to work and
win by. Passing the prosperity
around is only another, and a
mighty good way, of keeping it at
home. —Atlanta Constitution.
' Is this the spirit in this county!
If not let us put it in practice.
'You may not be able to pay all
you owe, but you can pay some
of it. Do that and we will all win.
