Entered in the I'ostoffice at Douglasville, Ga., as second claBs matter.
Guess one reason girls dont wear thicker hose, is because
they have no freckles on their feet.
The recent spel 1 of weather will doubtless dampen the
arder of the farmer.
A man’s first great need is to be in touch with his nearest
environment, which is the home paper first of all.
Many people who secured divorces during the holidays
are now looking for 1920 spring contracts.
No trouble has been reported so far in securing jurors
where they have to personally investigate whether beer is in
toxicating or not.
What has become of Mrs. Broadstreet? She has evidently
been “kidnapped.”
So far, William B. Green, the Fairburn bank wrecker,
hasn’t convinced the prison commission that he is insane.
A woman will travel miles to a "bargain sale” for a ten
cent purchase.
If all the motorist of Douglasville were fined for exceeding
the speed limit, there would soon be enough in the city’s coffers
to pave every street in the city.
The cry of the farmer for guano has been changed to
that of more sunshine and less rain.
A newspaper is very much like a town—what the people
make it.
Physicians in an adjoining county threaten to increase
prices, when they do, an undertaker will be cheaper.
Talk is evidently cheap when the senate used 15,000,000
words on the peace treaty, and they are still “chewin’ the rag.”
. The preferential primary of Tuesday showed the interest
of Douglas county in the league of nations.
Three unfailing signs of spring are the circus, baseball,
and the mobilization of soap and brushes in a house-cleaning
campaign.'
The fellow who goes by wood alcohol route is to be
congratulated rather than condemned. The world already
has a surplus of cranks.
Nobody hut a fool looks for trouble, and he generally
gets it.
It is hardly yet time for the world to come to an end—
especially until we order our robe and harp.
We hope never to he hit by an automobile, but from
a Ford—good Lord deliver us.

NOTICE
THE BANKER
AND THE FARMER
By co-opwating with a bank the farmer places
himself in position to receive the financial support that
is so necessary at certain seasons in all agricultural
pursuits. And it is the farmer’s co-operation that
places the bank in position to render such sup
port. In a word, the banker and the farmer need
each other.
We particularly solicit the accounts of farmers
and the facilities of this bank are always at their
disposal.

Pure-Selected Nancy Hall potato

April 20, at $2.00 per thousand. A.
Sinyard, 215 E. Lemon St, Fitzgerald,
Georgia.
We’ve read a good deal during the
past year or so on the cost of living
problem, and we still read every so
lution offered. But up to this time
we believe the best advice offered, and
the thing that will cut the high cost
of living quicker than anything else
s for everybody to go to work. Sweat,
good, honest sweat and a lot of it from
even.’ man regardless of his financial
condition, is the one thing needed to
bring prices back toward normal.
We don’t see much loafing here in
Douglasville, and yet so long as one
man is content to remain idle he is
doing that much to keep up the cost
of food and clothing. It is in the
large cities of this country the loaf
ing is being done, and on a larger
scale than ever before known. Men
make from two to five times as much
now as they once did and, instead of
working all the time they are, in
thousands of instances, content to
work three or four days a week and
loaf the remainder of the time. Every
man who loafs makes it necessary for
some other man to work that much
harder, so loafing even for a day is
an imposition on the men who work
steadily. Production and nothing else
w ill reduce prices. If a factory turned
out a million hats an hour instead of
one a day, hats would be cheaper. If
we raised hundred billion busheis
of potatoes to every fifty bushels we
raise now potatoes would be cheaper.
But with more people loafing than
ever before and factory and farmer
unable to produce as liberally as they
would like to and should we need ex
pect no drop- in prices. When the day
comes that every man can be made
to understand that it is criminal to
loaf, and that loafing is the surest
step toward starvation, then honest
sweat will start to flow in this
country as it should—and prices will
drop.
