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. | - There are some people, so-call ed good citizens, complaining n bout the officers not doing their duty in regard to the infractions l of the prohibition laws, and yet . , these same citizens are not doing a blessed thing to assist tin* of , rs. ‘I ‘I The Mayor of l.aFayette in his 1 address before the City council s urged law enforcement. We are 1 with him and we hope he can car ' ry out at least this part of his in augural speech, for their is much need of it in this fair eitv.

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.

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. — o—■ 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 election. So far the only candidate is Prof. G II Glenn. • i 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 the towu. SHERIFF’S SALE Georgia.
