Board for wage earners in Fort
Vslley is ordinarily 25 to 30 per cent
higher than in Macon .and Atlanta
and about 100 per cent South higher, Geor¬ we
are told, than in many
gia towns of this size. During peach
season board and rente are always
sharply advanced here. Theee ad¬
vances fall upon the peach of labor
and the other employers
here. Thie condition makea it very
difficult for some of the permanent,
all-year-round industries of the town
to keep labor, and without labor they
cannot operate. Does it really cost
more to furnish board and rent her*
than in other places? If so the

A GOOD TIME
I’ve had a good time racing, boys.
For Most rapid is my flight.
I preserve my equipoise
By keeping sol in sight.
To bed, to bed, I cannot go,
Nor close my watchful *y*e;
My gallant airship’s sailing skies. so
Beneath auspicious
For all the world was mad* for me,
And her colossal smiles
Have billionaired me up, you sea,
About ten million milae.
Don’t think that I am coming down,
There is no place to land,
I'll onward sail with my great crown,
So Two hemispheres in hand.
I am always looking up—
For down spells paralyse— .
And eating from Dame Fortune’ll [
cup Lake Superior
Great pies.
Suppose 1 drop a bomb or two
Your mind to elevate,
And break the chains sore binding J
you
In your Hungarian state.
The more my foes, the stronger I, |
The greater, too, my gain:
For man was never made to die, •
Created but to reign.
Away, away I ceaseless soar,
And by avoirdupois J
Behold my wealth increasing more
Amid transcendent joys.
Tomonow '11 be a happy day;
1 see the lovely queen; ,
Bhe'll robe me with her bright artsy, I I
And her majestic mien.

MYSELF.
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know.
I want to be able, as days go by,
Always to look myself straight in the
I don’t eye;
want to stand with the setting
sun
And ha: e myself for the things I’ve
done.
I don’t want to keep on a eloset shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And‘fool myself, aa’l come and go,
Into thinking that nobody else will
know
The kind of man I really am;
I don’t want to dress np myself in
sham.
I want to go out with my head erect
J want to deserve all men’s respect;
But here in the struggle for fame and
I pelf
want to I'o able to like myself.
I don’t want to look at myself and
know
That I'm bluatar and bluff and emp
ty show.
I never can hide myself from ms;
I s?e what others may never see;
I know what others may never know
Inever can fool myself, and so
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience-free.

The Lord has more respect for an
honest sinner than for a praying hy¬
pocrite.
If people could exchange trouble
there would be just as much kicking
as in a horse trade.
A man who talks as if he had hie
mouth full of hot mush will never
make a stirring speech.
A fool man will go through any old
thing for a pretty woman—even
through his bank account.
The pen might be mightier than
the sword, but there are times when
a double barreled shotgun is worth
a ion of either.

It is a dead sure thing that no can¬
didates look as good to a newspaper
man than the ones who “loosen up’’
and let a little of the “long green”
flow into the coffers of the newspa¬
per for advertising.
Those who read the news column*
of this paper will notice that there
is a great deal of improving work
and- building and other progress
going on In this city. This shows up
well for Fort Valley and in the pro¬
gress line.
I’ve just had a too-oo-ooth phlled,
“we heard her wail. Yes’m. We’ve

But ther’s worse things that
worries longer and nags deeper.
Knockers, f'rinatance. Just as you
think that you’ve got a good sheet
going nic nicely, along comes some chro¬
pessimist of an advertiser and
rooly remark that he don’t think a
semi-weekly’s mueh good nohow. H*
ain’t never been no newspaper man.
W* can vouch for that.
*
It i* right and proper that tbs'
newspaper should be a booster for
all it is worth, but for the hundreds
of boosts that the average paper
gives, how many boosts does the
same paper get from those very en¬
terprises? There sr* two sides to
every question, snd the person or
and community there that demands the earth
all is in it, figuratively
speaking, from the newspaper, should
try the art of boosting and aay a
good word now and then for the pa¬
per that stands by, in season and out.
