THE AMI IC AN PRESS ASSOCI-.TION !
Entered at the Lafayette, Ga.
oustoitice for transmission through
vfee mails as second-class matter.
Wonder if Villa is really dead
Shis time.
Statistics show that 20,000 miles
highways have been built during
.the past year.
More than 15,000 Georgia boys
‘have enrolled this year in the Ag
ricultural clubs of the stute.
There nre 600,000 tax payers in
«Georgia. No wonder there is so
much interest in the question of
itaxation in the legislature.
Progress costs in dollars and
. rents, costs energy and interest,
Juut it pays off in satisfaction, larg
er dividends and better good will.
Crops will soon be layed by.
Don’t leave the farm tools and ma
chinery to rust and warp in the
rain and sun. Get them under
■shelter.
Progress dosen’t come through
indifference, neither does it make
headway by individual effort, but
through active and sustained co
operation.
The cow, the hen and the hog
program is working to great ad
wantage in other Georgia counties,
, atnd it will work to advantage in
Walker too, we believe.
Wireless between Japan and the
United States was perfected on Ju
ly 27, 1915, but we wonder if many
people in this country can even at
rhat understand what the Jup says.
The fields of service in every
community widen with “processes
of the sun,” so long us there are
to be better schools, better roads,
better churches, and better com
munity spirit.
Reports on crop conditions for
Cieorgla revesl great improvement.
.Also the slate has more food and
feed crops planted than ever be
fore in the t late’s history, accord
wig to the imports
County agents in the state are
responsible for the sale of 86 ear
toads of poultry since last July.
The sales were made co-operatively
mnd splendid prices were realized
■ >n the feathered tribe.
The “wets” thought they were
sure of their ground in Indiana and
Illinois, but the legislatures ol
these states have just enacted more
stringent "dry" laws, to strength
en the prohibition statues..
A community fair would take
isome time and effort and co-oper
ation but it would be a means of
irousing interest and pride in that
community, and would insure the
M>st sort of advertising for the
community at the county fair.
It may be hard to think in the
summer time, but everybody can
att least think of one
good thing for the com
munity at this season of
the year. Think and think out loud
stnd keep on thinking until action
is taken.
THE COUNTY FAIR
The Chamber of Commerce ot a
meeting Tuesday night, unani
mously endorsed the county fair
this fall and went on record as
sponsoring same. Officers were
named nml committees appointed
looking to the annuul event.
Just where the fair will be held
was not determined, only the action
taken for holding the county fair.
Action was taken on the sugges
tion of the county agent that it
would mean much to the agricul
tural people to hold the fair, and
that by announcing at this time
that a fair would be held, it would
also be a means of stimulating bet
ter exhibits.
Last fall’s fair was one of the
best if not the best fair held in the
county ever. It was more represen
tative and was attended by people
from every section of the county.
More interest was taken and the
people seemed to grasp the impor
tance of the fair idea better than
heretofore.
Details of the fair organization
will be worked out as soon as prac
ticable, and efforts will be put
forth to make the coming fair of
more interest, of more real service
and value and more representa
tive of what Walker has to show
from its farms and factories than
in the past.
The fair time is always looked
forward to, when people come to
gether socially, when they see
some of the best things in old
Walker, and when results from
special efforts are revealed. All
these things are inspiring and en
couraging and helpful.
Prepare to exhibit something
now at your county fair.

THE RAMBLER
i l
+ *
A wise old owl .sat in an oak,
And the more he heard the less Tie
spoke,
The less he spoke the more he heard,
Why ain't we wise like this old bird.
From the above you may size un
the Rambler—the more we hear, the}
less we intend to speak, and the 1 i
we speak is a positive guarantee that
we will hear a lot. What we do hear
and sec we intend to put in this cjl
umn, if we wish. In fact, we are liable
to include dreams, politics, picnics,
marriages, deaths and only draw the
line at family rows and divorce cases
—they are twins, and excuse us, we
are not in it. Os course, someone will
always be on hand to tell you who the
Rambler is, but give him the laugh,
for the truth is not in him. Now, re
member, you may hit the missing
word in the Messenger contest, and
then locate the man who struck Billy
Patterson, but to locate the guy who
signs Rambler is going to be some
job.
We took in the tent meeting in West
LaFayette which closed several days
ago, and we do not hesitate in saying
it was one of the best ever held here
from the standpoint of good preach
ing and singing. Brother Brinsfield
preached some of the plainest ser
mons we ever had the pleasure of lis
tening to, delivered without any frills
or trimmings, the kind that could be
understood by everybody. One of his
sermons called to our mind the re
mark of a famous preacher who had
been accused of using too many big
words in his sermons, which could not
be understood by the less educated.
He delivered a plain, but powerful
sermon one night, and at the close
said: “Now, if there is a person in
this congregation who did not tho
roughly understand my sermon to
night, I wish to say that you need
have no fear about the hereafter, for
God, in His wisdom has made a pro
vision for all such fools as you.”
While there are not so many new
members to add to the church, you
must remember that nearly everybody
in this burg already belongs to some
church.
While we are talking about meet
ings, we will give you a little piece of
news which will be a surprise to those
who are not on the inside regarding
meetings. There is to be a “back
sliders convention” held here in the
near future, comprising all denomina
tions, and if the people turn out to
this meeting as they should, we look
for the largest gathering ever as
sembled in LaFayette. We suggest
that this convention be held on some
other day than Sunday, as the Ram
bler believes in fair play and to hold
a “back-sliders convention” oh the
Sabbath would conflict with the
churches—in fact, services might
have to be called off. The courthouse
being entirely too small for such a
gathering, the time and place is yet
in the hands of the committee on ar
rangements.
Every day, in every way, we are get
ting more hard boiled
On account of the way our streets
are worked, they haven’s yet been
oiled.
So we can make a terrible kick and
split the mud knee-deep.
But we hear no kick from the city
fathers on account of losing sleep.
The above poem has a great moral:
Never kick at anything the town is
trying to do for your benefit, especial
ly if you pay no taxes. But what's the
use—you’ll keep at it.
RAMBLER.
