DOUGLASVILLE’S NOMENCLA
TURE
Why'is it that folks who never work for bread are among
the first who want to eat it?
The mosquito that bites some of our up-to-date girls is
apt to die with painter’s colic.
There are two things a Douglasville man hates to take-
castor oil and his own advice.
The average Douglasville man may have his price but he
is slow about showing his cost mark.
Increased railroad rates mean nothing to a lot of us who
have been Used to paying as we go.
A lot of Douglasville men still think that a woman's plat
is at the foot of the table filling up the plates.
The Douglasville man who accomplishes half the thing
he intends to do is striking a pretty fair average.
Looking at some Douglasville men we're constrained tr
believe it's hard to keep tobacco chewing a secret.
We’ve always noticed that the more a girl knocks another
fellow the more anxious he is to meet the other girl.
An eastern woman wants to sell her husband to get money
with which to feed their children, but some women know their
children would starve to death on what their father’s would
bring at a sale. «
Giving the women the ballot isn’t going to change one
custom. 1 hey’ll still sit flat on the floor when they put on
their shoes and stockings.
If the woman’s vote doesn’t accomplish anything else it
means husbands will get an hour or two longer-down town on
election night awaiting the returns.
You might say it if you wish,” whispered a well-known
Douglasville man yesterday, “that marriage is a silent partner-
ship, with the man the silent partner.”
We suppose now that they have the ballot every woman
candidate will insist on using up a part of her speaking time
by telling about the time she had her operation.

It has alwavs been our observation that the Douglasville
man who is first to argue is usually among the last to act.
JNow that the women can vote we suppose it will keep all
the men folks busy on election day sharpening lead pencils.
A lot of Douglasville girls nowadays know too much about
bon-ton tongs and too little about skillets and coffee pots.
Every Douglasville man should so live that the neighbors
who talk about him will have to make up what they say.

of the dangers peculiar to farming
and life upon the farm.
THE cm MAN’S VIEW
A reporter for a large city news
paper recently asked five persons
picked at random—"How can we keep
the hoys on the farm 7 ” One man
who was asked this question, a sta
tionary engineer, replied: ‘'Give
them a farm. Cut the farms down,
and let each man work his own farm,
