DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL, DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA. FRipAY, APRIL 30, 1920.
IN MEMORY OF J. THOMASON
Mr. Thomason was born in 1847 and
died in 1920. He was a deacon of
the Central Baptist church, and our
church is saddened to know he isn’t
with us any more. He was a devout
Mason, and was buried by the fra
ternity. Uncle Joe, as he was known,
had many friends, and will be missed
by them, and the church he was. so
faithful to. We feel “he is out on the
glad hills of God’s glory, moving in
rapturous throng, with the saints re
nearsing their story, singing a monder-
ful song. He is with th e angels
around the great white throne, he
shall exalt the King who truly keeps
his own; Yes he shall lift his voice
with those gone, before, and in his
love rejoice with them forever more.”

Notwithstanding the rapid develop
ment in manufacturing and otlmr in
dustries in the southeastern states
since J800, ami the wonderful possibil
ities for the expansion of such enter
prises, which are now so plainly appar
ent, it was out of tlie soil that we made
tlie greater part of the wealih which
was ours in the past, and out of the
soil will come the greater part of our
wealth in the .future. This section is
essentially agricultural, and fanning
will always lie its leading industry.
Therefore we should make the most of
opportunities offered for the advance
ment of farming interests.

Win® tlie agricultural interests of
whole counties have been furthered in !
this way, as a direct result of Um
work of county agents, farm incomes
wHl be more than doubled—millions of |
dollars will lie atided each year to tlie •
circulating capitVil of each county and !
to its permanent wealth.
Figuring Costs and Profits.
When we figure costs and profits—
allowing $800 or $1,000 as (he amount
paid by a county for a competent
agent (the Federal and Slate govern
ments paying the balance) we will find
upon estimating tin* population of
counties that the avenge cost to each
individual will be in tlie neighborhood
of four or live cents, and that the work
of the county demonstrator, as shown
by actual results in many sections, will
add many dollars to the per capita
wealth.
County’s Best Asset.
Tlie county demonstration agent who
makes increased soil fertility the basis
of all his efforts, is one of the best
business assets a county can have,
and it is a short-sighted policy not to
give him proper linancial and moral
support. On the leadnshlp of such
agents depends the success of all move
ments toward better fanning—tlie
prosperity which we may have ju r<v
turn for intelligent, well-directed ef
forts th promote soil and Crop improve
ment work.
Science is applied common sense.
The demonstration agent is a scientist,
and should know how to impart lo
others- tlie knowledge be lias acquired,
lie should show the farmer what to
do and how to do It, and lead him
away from old practices and crude
methods lo higher efficiency and suc
cess. This is what he is doing in most
cases. The Federal government knows
his value and pays a large proportion
of the cost of his work. The cost to
the county is small—much less than :t
should be—much less than It will be
when the county knows bis value—not
more today with cotton soiling around
thirty-five cents a pound than when it
brought only ten cents. He should
have better pay, and the co-operation
of all classes of workers—farmers,
business men and all others who share
in the general prosperity of agricul
tural sections.

l cut ut the pages of most magazines
and newspapers would shrivel.

Broken Coin a Talisman.
Among the Franks the common to
ken for the consummation of an argu
ment was a broken coin. In this way
toners plighted their troth and by vir
tue of tbe sacred vows exchanged over
them, the two halves had ascribed to
them peculiar mystic powers. When
the coin would .not break it was bent
and a bote bored through its center. It
wus^then given to one of the parties,
who* wore It on a ribbon around bis
or ber neck. Soon It came to be re
garded as a sort of talisman and a
power against disease and the evil
spirits which In this age abounded.
