N- Holder, accompanied by his wife from Jefferson, Ga., spent last Friday in Conyers, guests of their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. M L. Moliley. Jr., at Milstead. Regardless of what our governor thinks of Mr. Hplder. personally, or otherwise. Rockdale county is under lasting obligations to him. He is the only outside ’’big" man that has ever befriended us —the only one that has ever manifested an interest in us, and one of our very few leading men of the state that knows where Rockdale county is or cares where it is. Rockdale county is small, but that is no excuse for us acting little- The least we could have done, would have been a public expression of apprecia tion for the splendid highway across the county, a wonderful gift at the hands of Mr. Holder, not a dime of our money or credit involved, making it possilde for us to enjoy a little' rec reational riding of real joy. But so far as we know, not a single' individ ual, to say nothing of a representative group of citizens, have ever conveyed to.Mr- Holder our gratitude for what he so graciously did for us by paving our road. Now, it behooves everybody, even our best friend. Io lie grateful and its an ugly friend or community without appreciation Some people ev en take for granted that the world owes them a living and think that the best therein is none too good for them—unfortunately, that has been our attitude for a number of years in many ways and things, individually and collectively, concerning local and foreign matters- The fight between Gov. Hardman and Mr- Holder tis only the customary scrap of two near neighbors. They happen to live in the same county. We may argue that Mr. Holder spent the state’s money , when he paved our road, which is true, but certainly he did not have to-spend it in Rockdale for a number of years yet according to allotment, and rotation. Our road did not cost as much as some roads and it will not last a thousand years, but it keeps us out of the mud and enables us to ride in comfort while it does last and while we last. ft would be appropriate for our board of commissioners to publicly thank Mr. Holder for it. It will be mean and ugly of them not to. FANCY WORK TUT. AND FLORAL CIRCLES MEET One of the prettiest parties of the new year was that given on Friday af ternoon, January 18. when Mrs. R. L.
