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.

Kathryn said: “Oh, i mother, if that baby doesn't stop falling she’s going to ruin herself.” 1r 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.
