isow that the business concerns
have taken inventory, the next

County Agent, Vansaut reports I
that some real work is being done
at uic nightly meetings of the
farmers. „ ■
The statements of the state and
national banks of the country for
the past year, reveal improved
conditions. Our own county bank
statements are most gratifying.
The Cotton report to January 1
shows only 9.958,1*07 bales ginned.
A pretty short crop, and the price
will doubtless go up in the Spring
after the farmer has sold.
in one county in South Georgia
last week over S7OOO worth of
hogs were sold. And yet no better
section in the slate eau be found
for raising hogs than this section.
If South Georgia is makng money
on hogs, why can’t wet
The best argument that prohi
bition is prohibiting is that every
bootlegger, illicit, manufacturer
big or little, every whisky drinker
and sympathizer, is scared to
death and is trying to make the
biggest show at all that no good
results arc following the prohibi
tion laws.
Congressman Upshaw may be
playing to the grand stands in bis
sensational statements about the
House Office building at Washing
ton being almost a bootlegger’s
heaven, but Washington should be
cleaned up first and set the pace
and then the other sections will
have a good example to follow.
Why should the poor man and
the man without much money and
influence be put behind the bars
or on the gang for violation of the
prohibition laws, when high of
ficials and the society set, who are
just as guilty, he unmolested? Get
the so-called big dogs and the lit
tle fish will he easy.
The mail who expects to spend
his time on the farm this year,
should he doing some of his hard
est work now, planning his crops,
making repairs, studying his farm
und farm operations; in fact pre
paring now for the actual work
season later. He is the man who is
reading, who is thinking out new
methods, and who is gathering
the best for his farm business
Ministers vll 0.-« r the country
are preaching on law enforce
ment. Some are whimpering that
they should preach the gospel ami
let law enforcement alone. Uhrist
dealt with the affairs of men,
their relations to each other and
to the Father, and He unsparingly
denoun-vd sin and crime in high
as well is- low place's, and He ex
pects IDs disciples to follow His
BEFORE AN OWNER. A
SAVER
' There lias been milch written
and said about home owners and
farm owners. II has been argued
that when a man buys a farm and
I builds a home he is at once a bet
ter citizen, feels responsibility
more and takes a deeper interest
in public affairs governing the
administration of laws etc., and
all this is absolutely true.
But a man seldom becomes a
I home owner or an owner of any
f of the stabilizers of life until he
has been or is the owner of some
sort of savings account.
We cannot become a nation of
owners until we first become a
nation of savers. Thrift and the
practice of it must enter into our
very beings before we become
owners.
Thrift week for the American*
•people is an annual event in Janu
i ary now. And during this cam- 1
paign various phases of thrift are
emphasized. Tin; man who wants
la home or a business or a farm,
and wants it enough to work for
it, is tin' man who plans and rigid
ly adheres to bis plan, to save at
I least a part of his earnings.
| into thrift enters the questions
of how to work, how to save, how ;
to take care of our savings and
how to send those savings back
'into circulation. We must have a
goal and a confidence that that \
goal can he reached,
A people who are owners of
their homes, their businesses,
their farms, or who are working
and saving to become owners of
the same, are a people where good
citizenship is a reality, and where ,
permanent progress is going on.
The Ministers’ association in j
Atlanta have passed a resolution
to the effect that the Ministers
of that city will not marry divorc
ed people except as the divorce
tracts the New Testament. Why
should it take an organization for
'ministers io do this? Every true
minister, magistrate or man, who
may have the authority under the
law to marry folks, if he is of the
Protestant faith, cannot bo true
to his faith if he does not conform
lo the New Testament in divorce
marriages.
The Rome Chamber of Com
merce is promoting a revolving
fund of goodly proportion, to as
sist the farmers of Floyd county
to buy pure cotton seed and enloi- 1
uni arsenate, as a guarantee of a
good cotton crop this year. The
i plan sounds good and is one that ’
the organizations of this county j
could follow to good advantage.
Try hooking up with your
Church and Sunday school and
■public schools and give them the
best thought and co-operation ot
which you are capable throughout
1023,. and at the end of the year
your life will have amounted to
something, and you will he able
I I to look hack on a work of eou
i,
st ruction.

It is said of Britt Williams, now
dead, that inside of forty years he
had never moved but had lived in
three counties. From Murray lie
was cut off into Whitfield and from
Whitfield into Catoosa.
The total amount to be received
by Walker county for public
schools this year will be $11,795.06.

county number 4300. The work of

In 1837 there-was nothing but a
[trail from l.aFayette to the Inman
mill on Duck creek nine miles be
low town. Ed Marsh when he was
his father’s mill boy traveled that
trail scores of tinles going to and
returning from that mill.
The handsomest apple we have
seen in Walker county was raised
t his year by Jeff Caldwell. It is
large, cone shape and the point of
the cone is bright, yellow. He'does
not know the name but got the va
iriety, with three others, from his
'brother in Arkansas.
Pleasant Hill academy, the second
largest in the county, was finished
I Friday. The vestibule is 8 x 16 feet,
(lie main room 48 x 28 feet, and the
rear room 24 x 20. It would be a
; credit to any neighborhood. Prof.
James E. liosser, one of the rhoving
spirits, will continue to teach there.

For the first time the people will
elect the state school superintend
ent. Heretofore, the Governor has
appointed him but years ago the
legislature changed this and the
people ratified it at the last general

is Prof. G II Glenn.

Wishing to enjoy a much-needed
rest, J E Patton has sold out his
interest in the firm of Patten, War
jthen and Sparks to Messrs Warthen
'and Sparks. This is of general sur
prise because Mr. Patton has been
a potent factor in building up such
,a splendid business. He will not rest
llong however but will employ his
splendid powers in other lines per
haps.
The town election Thursday re
sulted in the election of the follow
ing officers: W. M. Scott, Mayor;
J P Shattuek, Recorder; P A Cooper,
J H Hammond, T A Jackson, N C
I Napier and J M Underwood, coun
! oilmen. Dr. Underwood received the
highest vote. The retiring officials
leave matters in yood shape finan
cially, there being about S2io in the
treasury and about 850 yet to be
collected. With the means in hand
and the revenue for the current
yc.i", if the expenditures are made
judiciously and economically, much
can be done for the improvement of
