is going to be found to raise corn next
year, with the chance of making a profit.
There will probably never again be a
shortage of corn in America- And the
price will probably never again be where
it was during the wah. The real worry
now seems to be in getting that which we
don’t believe ever again will be much
cheaper and that is coal.

town in search of prey, and their efforts
were amply rewarded, when they detect
ed a peculiar but familiar odor over near
the old ball park in the vicinity of Lois
Mills.
An investigation located a well equip
ped copper still of about thirty gallon
capacity under the home of Bob Cole.
The entrance to the “distilery” was well
arranged, there being a trap door in the
kitchen floor, covered by a rug, over
whic stood a dinging table. The fact was
also developed that he was using city
water in the plying of his unlawful and
nefarious business.
Cole has been under suspicion bv the
t officers for quite awhile, and proof seem
ing almost impossible to procure, the of
ficers decided to make a Sunday “pop
•call' 1 with the result above mentioned.
The still, airing with five gallons of
booze and two hundred gallons of beer,
were confiscated- But Bob was not pres
ent to greet his guests, and their failure
to see his smiling countenance was disap
pointing to the callers, who, not to be out
done, have declared their intention of
calling again.
The present raids of the orfi:crs on
blind tigers and moonshiners are com
mendable and is being benckeJ up by all
lovers of law and order, aiVd it is hoped
that they will not let up until every one
of these hell holes are wiped out of
existence.

Of Few Days
Another one of Douglasville’s oldest
and best citizens passed into the dark
beyond on Saturday morning, in the per
son of Mr. Parker N. Brown, at his home
on the putskirts of the city.
Mr. Brown was a successful farmer,
and by square dealing and attention to
business had amassed enough to make
him corpfortable in his declining years.
The dlirect cause of Mr. Brown’s death
was ^pab-alysis, he having sustained a
shock on Monday before his death, and
was found by one of his daughters.
All that loving hands and medical
science could do to save the life of this
good man were brought into requsition,
but alas! their efforts availed naught.

Labor conditions make it necessary to
change our farming system so as to in
crease the ratio of horse or tractive power
to man power if the value of our farm
production is to be maintained. Southern
-farming has employed to great a pro
portion of man or hand labor. A greater
proportion of our lands should be given
over to the production of forage and feed
which can be utilized or marketed to best
advantage as live stock.
Through diversified farming we must
correct the economic error of buying food
and feed from other sections. The sys
tem of farming followed in the South has
caused a constant deterioration of our
soils. Farms on which live stock are kept
increase in fertility and produce more
profitable crops. Live stock raising

YOUR CHRISTMAS BUYING
Now that we are fast approaching the
Christmas season it is but fitting to call
the attention of Douglasville people to
the advisability of making it just as hap
py for those nearest home as we possibly
can. And in this respect there are many
ways of shedding sunshine right around
home that a lot of people seem to be un
acquainted with.
Take fhe matter of the Christmas pres
ent itself- Had you realized that the
Christmas gift bought right here at home
brings out more happiness that the one
purchased in a distant city? The gift
itself is just as good if purchased here,
and the one who receives it will be just
as pleased with it. But when it is bought
here at home the clerk who sold it is made

Sometimes a farmer gets so interested
in building lip a fine farm for bis child
ren that lie forgets to bring lip the kind
of children that can be trusted with a fine
farm. He can't leave the boys to grow
up any more than he can tern his cattle
loose in the neighborhood and cxi+.ct to
have fine stock in the end.
"A farmer who is developing a fine
farm that he hopes to turn over to bis
boy some day, should devote as much
time to the boy as to the farm,” said one
well known citizen of the community with
whom we talked on the streets recently.
“He should make him proud of the farm
ing business. He should develop in him
an early interest in agricultural matters.
He should give the boy his ideals and be
sure that lie brings the lad up an honest,
dcperiftable man. He should look after
his health to he sure that the hoy became
strong and vigorous- And by constant
effort on bis part he should develop in
young man habitts of thrift and in
dustry. that will insure his success. It
takes time and trouble to raise a good
crop of children—but it’s worth it- Any
man who raises a boy up to be a manly
inan pannot help but be benefitted him
self by so doing.”

money derived from this sale goes into
the cemetery fund, which should interest
all alike, as there is hardly a family Im

our citizens to finance the Hdic.t, and they
will do the rest, with the result that the
