The white way has been installed
which is an improvement every
citizen of this community is proud
of.
The orop conditions in Georgia
are better than for the entire Unit
«>d States according to the last re
port, all of which is encouraging.
This is the month when final de
cision is made as to whether or
not that son or daughter will go

folks would. But at that guess its
oilright.
John W. Davis will be notified
of his nomination for the Presiden

To some folks Sunday is a busy
day, to others it is dreaded and a I
day of restlessness. Both classes
will find the solution of their Sun
day problems if they will attend
the church services.

A REAL OUTING
A group of East Armuchee
farmers left last week on a tour
of Georgia and Florida, the pur
pose of which to study individual
farms, agricultural conditions and
to gain new and batter ideas which
■«hey may put into practice to ad
vantage on their own farms.
Can you conceive of a better
way for a farmer to spend his va
cation? Indeed, it will be a rest
that will do them good physically;
it will enlarge their vision and
tttey will gain valuable informa
tion which they can use right on
their own farms.
The past few years small groups
of farmers haw been doing such
things and as a result these farm
ers are the ones who are purchas
ing purebred cattle, who are inter
ested in purebred seed, who are
keeping books on their farms, who
iire adopting scientific methods of
agriculture, who ire reading the
agricultural journals, who are in
stalling lights, water systems, get
ting labor saving devises for the
home ami using machinery on the
farm. Ami these are the farmers
who are succeeding and who love
their farms.
It would be a fine idea if during
the remainder of the summer,
groups of favtners in the various
-sections would make trips for re
creation, for vision and for infor
mation—to see and know what
other sections are doing and how
aucce-'s comes to those in other
sections. The inspiration of such
■ outings is simply marvelous.
Got up a party in your section,
Like some of the women folks u
long too; they are interested, and
go into other sections of this and
other states; it will do you good
and you will find it very profitable
and the cost should not be very
much.
Try it out this month before the
.fall work begins.
THE HIGHEST TYPE
OF MEN NEEDED
FOR LEGISLATURE
Governor Walker is calling upon
the people of the state to nominate
in the coming primary, able, unsel
fish and loyal men to the legis
lature, men who are in sympathy
with the policies of the administra
tion, in order that the measures he
has fostered for the up-building of
the State, may become operative.
Too little thought and attention
in the past years have been given
the legislature, and as a result the
email politician has been elected,
and now only a minority of able
unselfish men are representatives
in Georgia. To sell the birthright
of our state for this type of pot
tage has brought about a serious
condition.
Georgia, once the empire state of
the South in everything, now lags
miserably behind in education, in
road building, in manufacturing
industrial and agricultural lines.
A state is no higher than it 3
leaders. Sound leaders, straight
thinkers, loyal Georgians, men of
vision and purpose for a great
state, enthroned in our general as
sembly, is the beginning of the so
lution of our problems and the de
velopment of our great state. The
Governor is right in urging Geor
gians to send the strongest men to
the legislature, the state demands
it because the future of Georgia is
at stake. • -«=r
As an Atlanta daily points out:
“There is not a more pressing
need in Georgia today than the
election of strong and able and un
selfish citizens—even if they must’
be drafted—to the assembly. Then,
and not until then, can the petty
politicians be taught the lesson
that Georgia must be administer
ed in a business like and a pro
gressive and forward-looking man
ner, and not to please the whims
and appease the local political ap
petites of an element that makes
political restlessness a profession.”
With the highest type of leader
ship in our legislature, Georgia
will soon take her place in the rank
of Southern states as the empire
state of the South and not until
then, and the sooner Georgians
realize this fact the sooner will
Georgia come to the front.
A church in a rural section In
Ohio has built up a wonderful at
tendance upon its services by chart
ir»g the road to every member’s
home and by having ears call at
each home for each service. This
has eliminated the usual excuse of
having no way to get to church
and has proved quite a benefit to
the aged and infirm. Try this out
in your rural community.
The Georgia senate committee
approved the establishing of an
other Senatorial District for the
state, which would make fifty two.
We have too many now. The whole
state should be redistrieted and
fewer senators and representatives
elected to do the business of the
state. The body is too large and un
wieldy now.
If the people vote in the biennial
session bill as a constitutional a
mendment in the fall election, then
Georgia will be the forty-fifth
state of the forty-eight that will
have such a measure. The others—
South Carolina, New York and
Massachusetts are to vote on it
this fall.
The sentiment over the state
put across the biennial sessions
bill, because there were too many
representatives against it to do it
themselves. Georgia has some oth
er things she must put over too.
The biennial session bill finally
passed by a handsome majority.
Maybe the represent*tievs who
want to hang around the Kimball
House and the Capitol every year
got word from the folks back
home.
Walker County Messenger, August 8, 1924.
As usual the Atlanta Constitu
tion claims the victory for the bi- !
’ I
ennial session bill. It can also 1
claim the credit for the Mellon tax
reduction bill too as far as we are
concerned.
Some farmers have found the
boll worm in their cotton. Take no
chances with any worm, poison
your cotton when he first appears.
The crop is too far gone to let the
worms destroy it.

IN MEMORY OF
J M. LITTLE
Saturday morning June 7, 1924 the
angel of death invaded our ranks and
book from us our beloved uncle and
brother, J. M. Little, after an illness
of about twelve months. He leaves a
wife and six children, 5 sons and one
daughter, and one sister to mourn his
! loss, but their loss is his eternal gain.
He bore his sickness well and would
always say, “I am feeling very well,”
when asked how he felt.
All was done that willing hands
could do for him but God saw fit to
take him from us. He seemed to real
ize that he had fought a good fight
and that there was a crown laid up i
for him, which the Righteous Judge
shall give. He said “Come unto me,
all ye that labor and are heavy laden
and I will give you rest.”
We are glad to think that he is en
joying that rest that the Savior has
promised to all that do His will. While
it was so hard to give him up, yet we
know that when the time shall be no
more, all will we well with him for
he is now beholding the face of our
Father in Heaven and could we push
back the thin veil between time and
eternity and catch a glimpse of him
while he is now in the flowery fields
of Paradise, we would not call him
hack.
He was laid to rest at Estell, Ga., j
funeral services being conducted by
I Bro. F. M. Little in the presence of a
large concourse of friends and rela
| lives.
