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 ter is worth serious investigation and a remedy found and applied, of if Fort pos sible.

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.

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. 4 -—Edgar A.

An honest *tate*man ia no match for a dishonest politiiian. You never hear one girl say that another is too young to marry. * Savages hunt for a living and civ¬ ilised men hunt for easy jobs. --4 It sometimes happens that a man’s house is his mother-in-law’s castle. ■» Tha man who doesn’t worry is en¬ titled to a lot of credit that he never gets. -4 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.

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. 4 When Grover Cleveland was pres¬ ident General Weyler was 'butcher¬ ing the Cubans, and the citizens of the United States, almost to a man, Cleveland were clamoring for intervention. wanted another term and did nothing.
