Walker County Fair October 23- 24! School bella soon be ringing. U the school he best your commu nity can afford? A great deal is being written about child labor; what the country needs is more man labor. The tremendous tobacco industry in Georgia dosen't necessarily mean that we are going up in amoke. Whereever education goes a ehievement and progress follow. Go to college young man and young woman. Ford's prediction of an easy vic tory for Coolidge is a nugget of “neglected truth" that will be for gotten altogether in the November election. Labor Day will soon be observed with elaborate programs, a duy too seldom observed by too many peo ple in this country, which may be one of the causes of unrest and crime. If the farmer feels himself a Awn trod den man let him read the acceptance speeches of the various candidates for the highest offices, and lie will gel ,i slant at his im portance in this country. You notice that the politican who loudly prates about the freedom, virtue and greet ness of the wool bat boys, has been a farmer but for years lie has never seen the sun rise, nor put his hands to the plow. Ford Predicts Easy Victory For ■Coolidge,; Says Business Conditions Excellent- Headline. All of which reminds us that the oil thieves in the Republican a (ministration have probably made g >od business for Mr. Ford’s flivvers. Keep Cool With Coolidge, does not seem so out of place when it is recalled that oil keeps the ma chine from getting hot. Quite ap propriate, we should say. Keep honest and decent with Davis, sounds much better to us. THE CHURCH Os all the good signs that the communities of Walker county be lieve in the future is the steady ac tivity in church building. No investment is so great in a community as the church. No bank or business house would think of doing business in a town where there are no Protestant Christian churches. The program of building larger, more modern and better equipped churches speaks louder than words for the stability of a community. Where the church de cays. its life inactive and shorn of vitality and spirit, the people de teriorate in morals, in honesty, in clean and high living. Every citizen should feel proud of the splendid church buildings and church activities, and church life in the communities of this coun*y, and no institution in our midst has such a claim on our service, our pocketbooks and our tim.- as has the Christian church. Give liberally to her, because be hind her fortress is the stability of business, society, education and all andoaof n.ja.u.'id. THAT HOY AND THAT GIRL That boy and that girl, who arc they ? They \ are the ones who a few years from now will take our places in the home, the church, the school, the store, the counting house, the bank, in state, in na tion, on the farm —everywhere. They will read what we have written and criticiss it, appraise it, adopt it or reject it. They will study our programs and laugh at them or enlarge them. They will pass on all we have done or failed to do, and probably give us credit for doing the best we could, or will wonder why we didn’t do better and live greater lives. Anyhow, they are almost now in our step and when we step aside they will take charge. Whether they make progress, live larger lives, render honest, ef ficient and faithful service, de pends on us. Had you ever thought of that? Realizing then that our children will soon fill the gap of all life we are now living, do you not think we should give these comers on a little of our serious consider ation ? In the light of these indisputable fact, how are we checking up in preparing the way for them. Ac cording to our present plans, work and living and acting, will the next generation be equipped for the re sponsibilities that are sure to fall on their shoulders? Are we open ing to them the door of opportunity and high heritage? Think on these things, and let us throw ourselves into the fight for better schools, a more vital church life, a cleaner scheme of politics, a sounder, more honest business practice, a better respect for law and a truer estimate of the rightful place and value of society. Let us put ourselves in our thoughts and spirit in the place of the boys and girls and see through them the way just ahead which is the way they must trod. Are you satisfied that your pres ent conduct i 3 making the future safe to the boys and girls and to the world? A PLACE OF VISION To show to greatest advantage the products of the farms and factories and home, is the aim of the county fair this fall. To a more marked degree than heretofore, the fair management is determined to make the fair a powerful incentive in the life of the people of this county. To do this the fair must have the co-operatio nos the farmers and as surances from every section are gratifying. The more scientific methods a dopted by numerous farmers in this county has been traceable in a large measure to the fairs. Here the people get a close-up view of what the scientific methods are do ing for agriculture, and with the farmer seeing is believing. Join force v. i n your county fair, its an agency of vision. Do you know a fellow in your community who has accumulated a considerable amount of more/, enjoys all the benefits and protec tion of the churches and other in stitutions that make a community a good ’ iro in which to live and do business, aJio when called upon to help make the church larger and better eq iip- od to serve the needs of the community, doles out a mis erly pittance? \Yc do. Wouldn’t it be good reading to publish their names and the amount they give, especially when everybody knows about how much they are worth? Let the parents who allow their boys and girls under 16 to drive a car give their excuse to the grand jury. The Co-operative Marketing As sociation is the best thing for the farmer to join for his financial in tecasu. Walker County Messenger.,August 2—,L92L j TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO j August 21. 1899. O Below will bo found items of news published in the Walker County Messenger twenty-five years ago, which will be of interest to the readers of the Messenger today.

In the last few days they have have been invading a part of the Wa terville District. They were on thirty or forty acres of the John Martin place and the crab grass seemed to be as completely destroyed as if it had been burnt. They are attacking the corn. The turkeys appreciate their coming. Saturday night at the regular com munication of Western Lodge, when E. A. Jackson was raised to the Sub lime Degree of Master Mason, a large number of visiting brethren were present. Among them were Congress man Maddox, Solicitor General pro tern, Harper Hamilton and Gordon Tatum, stenographer of the Rome Cir cuit. These were pressed into service and gave short addresses that were very much enjoyed. Past Master, J. P. Shattuck was also among the ap preciated speakers. o | WHAT YOU OWE YOUR I CHILDREN By Dr. Frank Crane ° —O All you owe your children is to equip them properly for life. You owe , t'hem that they be born with sound and undiseased bodies; that they be trained in habits that keep one heal thy. A ou owe them such an education as shall put at their service the ac i cumulated knowledge of the world. You owe them your loyal love and friendship. That is all. \ou do not owe them any money. You are under no obligation to lay up a fortune for them. It is much better to use your money yourself than to burden them with it. All our desire to endow our children springs from the superstition, deeply rooted in the world, that to be releas ed from the necessity of labor is a source of happiness. The contrary is true. The greatest, surest condition for happiness is to be so situated that we have to conquer difficulties and make our own way in the world. There is no contentment to be compared with that which arises from securing the desired goods of life by our own ef forts. The purest human joy is respon sibility intelligently assumed. T°, deprive our offspring of this privilege is to do him the greatest wrong. To leave him enough money so that he does not have to work is to do him the deepest injustice. I No one except a defective person, who cannot work should be placed a ! hove want. The laboring classes have attacked classes on the ground chat the laborer is wronged, treated unjustly in the distribution of proper ty. But it is the endowed class that is I wr °nged. They are robbed, by our economic system, of the first necessity of healthy personality, to wit, gain ing wages by effort. Edmund Demolins definss happiness a * the stat * of satisfacton engender ed by success in surmounting the ma terial and moral difficultes of life.” u ,Im* is but 8 statement of j ”°J y " nt: To him that overcometh will I give power; and I will give him the morning star.” Giving an inheritance of money to one a child is a lazy way of avoiding the hard work of giving him charac | * or an d life equipment. The trouble with us is that our idea ! 0! happiness is false, cheap and nas-' «e think happiness means idle- 1 ness, exclusiveness, privilege over our I fellows, luxury, indulgence and being waited upon. It is an idea inherited from centu- i nes of rcften monarchic and aristo cratic delusion. Accumulated riches is the salvation ot the state, it is the ruin of the in dividual. T.te collective works of man need capital. All the individual man r.eeus is opportunity and justice. Every baby has a right to a fair start with every other baby. Every youth has a right to a thorough edu cation. No baby, no youth has a right to be weighted down with endowed money. ,°\ ANNOIJNCEMENTS 7 ? fir o DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES FOfECaUNTY O f FRJES Below is a list of the Denocratic | nominees for county offices et-ete-f in - the March primary t.» be voud. :aoir;| the November 'footion.
