WANT VOTES NOT
CRAWFORD LAND.
In denying a roport that it was in¬
tended to take part of Crawford
County to help shape the proposed
new county, called Peach, the Fort
Valley Leader-Tribune used the fol¬
lowing language;
4 4 As a matter of fact, however,
the report was purely and simply a
political canard without any founda¬
tion whatever, for the relationship
existing between the people of Craw¬
ford and this section has always been
of auch a cordial nature that in no
instance and atno time have the peo¬
ple of this section entertained for a
moment the idea of thus doing vio¬
lence to the territory of a neighbor. tt
Seemingly the people living in
Houston who are not to be included
In the proposed new county are not
regarded as neighbors. We regret the
proposed violence to Houston county,
aiid the announced luck of cordiality,
but we loyal Houstonians didn’t start
the racket.
But we’ll have a whole lot to do
with stopping it.—Perry Home Jour¬
nal.
We regret that our esteemed con¬
temporary just southeast of the New
County line interprets the words
above quoted by him as unneighborly
and as an announcement of “lack of
cordiality.” The words quoted were
not written by the editor of The Lea
der-Tribune but he is responsible for
their publication in this paper and he
herewith arises to defend them. We
can answer for the writer that he had
no intentions of the words being con¬
strued ns an intimation of lack of
cordiality on the part of citizens of
this section towards our “neighbors ft
to the southeast of us—for as neigh¬
bors we shall assuredly continue to
regard them even after the New
County line is finally drawn. And let
us hope that in becoming neighbors
instead of members of the same fam¬
ily dwelling in the same house, this
quality of cordiality will be greatly
strengthened, as often happens in
family relations.
Lack of cordiality, however, is en¬
tirely foreign to the Fort Valley
character and practice. Our friends
and opponents of the New County,
unIes-< they have been guilty of some
very egregious offense, can rest as¬
sured of being received with the ut¬
most cordiality when they visit Fort
Valley. If any lack of cordiality ex¬
ists between the citizens of differ¬
ent sections of Houston County, as
now’ existent, it is not to be found on
the part of citizens of the New Coun¬
ty section. The history of every Lib¬
erty Lojin and other war service
or beneficent drive within the past
two and a half years, as recorded in
the files of the Leader-Tribune, wiii
substantiate this statement. In every
single one of these drives the citizens
of the New County section have de¬
voted their time and services loyally
and earnestly for the honor of Hous¬
ton County, as a whole. Citizens of
this section have gone time and again
into every nook and corner of Hous¬
ton County, cooperating cordially
with the citizens of other sections
to SAVE THE HONOR OF HOUS¬
TON COUNTY, and in every in¬
stance the New County section has
more than put across, out of its own
loyal pockets, the entire Houston
County quota. Could this have been
done without a spirit of loyalty to
old Houston and of cordiality towards
the reet of the County? As a matter
of fact the New County section IS
Houston County. You other fellows
ought to be the one* to “secede” and
gat you another name. But you
won’t we’ll have to.
No, Fort Valleyans and the
Mow Countyites are not lacking in
either loyalty or cordiality.
inore, when they go after what they
want they do it
malice toward their opponents. Some
things that they may say under great
provocation that may seem severe
are also said in jocular vein. We have
no unkndly feeing toward
nents who play the game fairly and
manly. ,
The Leader-Tribune would gladly
divide its last bundle of newsprint
paper with The Home Journal, and
he same spirit characterizes every
other citizen of the New County sec
tion toward those of other sections
<f the County. We merely want
something that we think will benefit
us and not hurt old Houston for us
to have. We want to paddle our own
canoe and let the citizens of other
-eetions of Houston prove their
vaunted loyalty to “old Housto n” on
their own hook. And we think their
loyalty would show up better there
^ or
We are not going to get mad with
those who think it to their
to try to keep us from getting what
we want, but we are going after it
just the same, and with the very
best of spirit.
We admit that we it started the
racket. M We are good at starting
things up this way—reg’lar self
starters. And while we may some
times get stopped, we don’t stay
stopped. We are built to GO and if
we get stopped we've got what it
takes to get started again, initiative.
and what it takes to get where wc
started, determination and persever
a nee. So, on with the game, good
friends! And let’s smile while we
play it. And v let the losers be good
losers and smile when they lose.
And let’s continue to be cordial
and as long as we are all citizens of
(4 Old Houston” let’s all show our loy¬
alty and uphold her honor, as the
New County section did just last
week in the Salvation Army drive.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE BAPTIST
CHURCH
Brother Will H. Jones, whose re
cent and apparently untimely death
occasions this memorial, was for a
number of years a faithful member
of the Fort Valley Baptist Church
and for the last two years of his life
one of its deacons.
He was a man of native goodness
of heart and cleanness of conduct.
His schoolmates testify to his up¬
rightness as a boy; the friends of his
youth and early manhood agree upon
his strong fidelity to right and to
principle; all who knew him in his
mature years express confidence in
his singleness of motive, his sense of
unswerving loyalty, his unfailing
honesty.
His relatives found in him as son,
as brother, as husband, as father, all
faithfulness to obligations never fail¬
ed. To the community he was an in¬
telligent and public spirited citizen,
to the church he was a consistent
member and faithful officer. While
his modesty forbade his ever seeging
responsibility, his high sense of duty
likewise forbade his shirking any
that was placed upon him.
The far reaching effects of a life
like his cannot be measured in words
or years. Christianity found in him
not merely a follower but an embod¬
iment. Quiet, modest, retiring, yet
always faithful, he lived a life wor¬
thy of praise bestowed by the Master
upon one of the earliest of his fol¬
lowers, of whom he said "Behold a
man indeed in whom there is no
guile. tt
In view of the loss that this church
has sustained in his death, be it re¬
solved :
That his life has been a valued
contribution to the life of the church,
Thut as a church we are grateful
for the years that God granted him
here,
That this memorial be spread upon
the minutes and printed in the news¬
paper, and
That a copy be given the family
with the assurance of the church’s
deepest concern that they may have
the comfort of the Christian's faith
in their bereavement and the blessing
of God in their lives.

This is the year that “American- ■
ism” is supposed to be holding sway j
at a great rate. Some day, though, j
the United States will discover that I
the way to make Americanism real
is through the right education of
boys and girls. The best American
ism that has ever been promulgated
has been through the patriotism
unconsciously taught by fine teach¬
ers in the public schools who loved
their country with a devotion that
showed in their work. A school teach¬
er nowadays has to tench herself to
hide her bitterness toward a nation
that will spend billions on war ma¬
chinery and let the schools get what
they can through local generosity.
