Entered as second class mail mat
ter at the post-office at Irwinton: Ga.
under the act of Congress of March
3, 1879.
Arc timed soldier says that
while sleeping in a French sta
ble a restless horse was his
worst neigh-bor.
If the sugar shortage holds un
til January as predicted, we’ll
a’l come through the Christmas
cake season feelin’ lots better.
Georgia’s tobacco crop for
1919 was 600 per cent increase
over that of 1918, and netted our
farmers an avenge of over a
dollar for every man, woman
and child in the State.
Well, anyhow, if the Dutch
don’t chase the dirty Kaiser out
they are not the cleansers they
are advertised to be.
After all we believe the worst
thing about Congress is the
Congressional Record.
“Miami, Fla, Pg ce Union is
Banned.” Now, like gcod neigh
bors, they should loan their bar
to some other city while it is i'
good worki' g order.
Justice Holmes says Congress
could not forbid all efforts c'
aliens to change the mind cl
this country. It would take
some effort to change the coun
try’s mind about Congress.
Another good reason for de
porting Russian anarchists is th<
bad effect on American vocai
cords caused by trying to pre
nounce their names.
The New Orleans Flashlight
reminds us that there were much
harder times and less complain 4
just after the wai’ between the
states than at preseht, and it is
as true as that a man will make
more fuss if his sugar be cut off
than he would if his head wer<
cut off.
Southern representatives want
in the anti-strike bill a section
that will have teeth in it. They
will have to be good ones if they
are to chew up the c.al situation
for the public to digest without
furtner trouble.
The blizzards in the north
west have already got busy and
are showing the people whether
coal folks care if they freeze.
Victor L. Berger, Milwaukee
socialist, was denied his seat in
the Hcuse by vote of 309 to 1.
Members of the House must be
lieve his name is Lem Berger.
If you get weary of your job,
remember the luckless fellow
who works in a pill factory, or
bottles castor oil, and dont strike.
Dr. Mayo says that modern
surgery and two other much
larger words have added fifteen
years to human life. Another
doctor is transplanting glands
from one body to another and
thereby rejuvenating the aged.
What a joke it would be to slip a
-new interstitial gland into an
old fellow who boast what he
would do if he were ^strong and
frisky again with his knowledge
and experience. Os course they
would take the new lease on life
and do about like they been a
doing.
Notions are great deceivers
because they are always being
mistaken for facts, and they arc
about this much alike: A fact is
a mental egg full of meat and
has wonderful possibilities of
development;'a notion is an egg
shell from which no amount of
incubating can bring forth any
thing but disappointment. We
have for years cherished the no
tion that the more acres scratch
ed over, the more long green
would be realized. But how the
old shell is cracked and we are
beginning to see vhe mistake
and to find that there is more
money in raising forty bushels
of corn on one acre than in rais
ing forty bushels of corn on ten
acres; more money in raising a
bale ot cotton on one acre than
in raising one bale on four acres,
aside from the question of rent.
Only a few years ago, forty acres
to the plow was considered ne
cessary: now the average is be
low thirty, and some day five
acres will support a family and
make a good job of it without
[ working them so hard that the
i children can’t go to school.

There isn’t any better way to
j get things than to work for them
j and then thrown in for good
i measure one gains the ability to
Ido things, and that is the gr<at
' est blessing of it all-
The United States had a good
old-fashioned housecleaning last
। week and rounded up a whole
! menacerie of goggleyed monsters
which will be shipped home to
foreign countries where the
wicked may keep on worrying
and give the weary no rest.

Another argument for prohibi
ition: According to a Roumanian
: scientist, old age is due solely to

Many a man who is smart en
■ ough in his hands loses his labor
iby being lazy in his head. No
I matter how common the work it
! prospers best when it is properly
; thought about. It is worry, not
' thought that wrinkles tne face
and hurries gray hairs. A busy
brain helps keep both heart and
face young and a goodly crop of
kale growing mellow in the bank.
The various middlemen be
tween the farmers and the con
sumers of farm produce are big
holes in his baskets through
which profits leak at every step
on the way to market. It is said
that it takes four and a half
bushels of wheat to make a bar
rel of flour- The wheat raiser
gets about $8.37 for the wheat,
the miller $12.70, the baker SSB.
70, and the hotel keepers dole it
out in thin slices for $587.00.
A horse of good mettle peart
ens up of his own accord at the
foot of a hill, and if you see a
man who instead of complaining
when times get tight just thinks
more and humps and hustles the
harder, you just paste the word
“Success” on him and the offic
ers will never bother you for
mislabeling goods.
It would be interesting to
South Georgia tobacco growers
to visit the tobacco districts of
North Carolina at this time. A
onehorse share cropper usually
makes four to six thousand dol
lars worth of tobacco, besides
other crops. Negro tenants can
pay one thousand dollars for a
piano and not miss the money.

rtiK BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA.
Bradstreets mercantile agency
states that the merchant who
advertises, rarely, if ever fails.
It is said that the farmer’s
whole family earns less than one
railway worker, and yet they do
not strike.
Georgia counties nowadays are
considered very backward unless
they have discovered natural oil.
Talk is cheap and a good deal
safer than fighting, so why not
just quarrel it out, “blowoff”
•without coming tn blows.
They hit the chisel on the
head: Those old printers who
carved books on stones struck
all day long.
We’re all discouraged-like.
Here’s the literary gents fussing
about whether or not Ella Wheell
Wilcox was a poet.
The Columbus Ledger laughs
at the government for suggest
ing that an umbrella ought to
last a man three years- It’ll
last all right—but not for the
same man.
Men who learned wood chop
ping last winter seem to take to
it naturally this fall. Wonder
what a man really thinks when
the axe flies off and the handle
jabs’him in his side right sudden.
A Brooklyn, New York school
for girls has prohibited the use
of rouge and powder. And we
want to know what is to pecome
of woman’s rights?
If you want to buy or sell any
thing advertise in The Bulletin.
The best way and the quickest.
The Fitzgerald Herald says
farmers there will make some
brown sugar. Merchants quit
handling it because every man
that knew where the barrel was
ate a few lumps when he passed
by. It takes mighty good candy
to beat brown sugar, especially
when it is come by in this way.
When we see some youngster
speeding along via the touch
system we feel like trading our
typewriter off for a slate pencil,
because our machine just won’t
rattle that fast while we’re
thinking into it.
In the light, the very illumi
nating light of present cay ex
periences the North has said to
the South: “You’re right about
the negroes, we will have to
adopt your plan before we can
live peaceably with them here.”
And they looked so good when
far away.
That screech owl up by our house
