It will be 431 years Friday since
Columbus discovered us.
Ben Franklin said: “Being igno

With the gathering of the crops
there comes the tax paying time.
\lways something to take the joy
out of life.
Bring an exhibit from youi farm to
the county fair Oct. 2.1-26, and by
all means bring your whole family
and your neighbors.
Those who have doubted the work
of the agricultural agent in this
county, huvu fuilod to read the rec
irds of the work.
American Education Week is No
vember 18-24. The slogan in Geor
gia for this week is: “No Illiteracy
In Georgia By 1927.”
Fall with its wonderful climate,
wonderful colors, fairs, circuses,
world series and football, is truly a
great season of the year
Floods are reported in Oklahoma.
Books like Governor Walton’s mar
tial law should have protected the
dear people of his state from this
ruinous encroachment.
It don’t take any manhood to be
n grouch, any old fool can devel
op that; hut it takes grit and a
real man to smile and co-operate
for constructive progress.
Consolidation of school districts
mean better schools and more eco
nomical administrations which in
turn mean results. Consolidation of
Cjou'.gia counties wou’.u i. re

Bring the chickens, the cattle,
the hogs, the sheep, the canned
fruits, flowers, needlework, etc.,
and see what old Walker is doing
and what she is capable of doing,
at the county fair 25-26.
If a fellow is pessimistic and
agin’ everything in your commu
nity, bring him to the county fair
and show him a good time. He will
go back home feeling at least that
all is not vanity and vexation of
.spirit. '

Every farmhouse and barn, and

One of Georgia's greatest ills is
that our legislature is too large,
I serge bodies move slowly. Things

this is Georgia's stupefying prog

TWO SUGGESTIONS
Two courses should be adopted
into every school system in the
county, namely, a course to study
Walker county from every angle,
her natural resources, her system
of government, her educational
life, her social conditions, her
strength, her weaknesses; in fact,
a serious study of what Walker is
and what she has. The purpose of
such a study would lie to acquaint
the younger generation with first
hand knowledge of the county in
which they live. Such information
would stimulate progress as noth
ing else. We admit it i 3 a big field
of study but one that would prove
both fascinating and constructive.
If each school was finding out
facts of that particular section, to
be reported at intervals to a cen
tral board whereby facts may be
compiled about the entire county, it
would be a revelation to every
body in the county, and would fur
nish the basis for large progress.
The other course we would sug-f
gest, would be a practical course in
the Constitution of the United
States, Georgia, the flag, and the
ideals and principles of American
ism, the purpose being to instill a
deeper respect for law and consti
tuted authority.
To love one’s country, its slug
and its government, one must know
something definite about the prin
ciples upon which it is founded, and
know what its flag stands for.
Hats off to the Walker county
club members who won first prize
over the Tennessee counties at the
Chatlnnooga fair last week in
judging the live stock. This is edu
cation of the right kind. The coun
ty agent will train a larger class
for next year’s fairs.
The new wealth created by the
agricultural clubs of this county
with their programs of diversified
and scientific farming, within the
past few years is more than of
passing interest. Looking to the
future, it means a real system of
agriculture in this c urty.
Wonder what ever became r
those Ragan athletes that left the
stock yards of Chicago two weeks
ago for Oklahoma 100 strong, to
help Governor Walton out, no re
port has been made of their arriv
al? The Governor seems to be
needing some strong help other
than his military.
Not by spurts or booms but by
steady strides old Walker is march
ing on the road of progress. Its
great to be a Walla 1 . Countian.
