Conyers is Short on
Satisfactory Husbands
We hnve been favorably impi'i's-rd
by Dorothy Dix that Conyers should
i in] oirt a model husbnnd to temli n
how to become ideal cnlcrtuinci's and
to convince our wives that we arc per
feet specimens of whnt thej ought to
be thankful for, for according to Sis
ter Hix. our tenth anniversary is the
last tiling we Conyers husbands re
member in connection with our ainbi
tiotis youth.
It seems that one of our wives was
interviewed on blue Monday alter w<
laid played golf all day Sunday which
left a had impression on account ol
static. Says she did not marry to get
a meal ticket, but a companion in
stead of which she got a stuffed shirt
that grunts back at her •ccasionally
just to leave the iinpri ssion that lie
ain't unite dead yet. Another one of
our wives claims to be of the ‘ Thrill,v
Bubbly” kind that rci|iiires lots of eti
thuslusm and excitement, but claims
that about the time she works herself
tip to feeling like n pink painted bal
loon ut a picnic, hubby comes along
and sticks a pin into her and all her
laughing gas osenpes. Now I lint's bail
very bad treatment and something
should ougbter to be done about il
But instead, it gets worse the more
you interview. Our third wife says
If I could change m\ husband, which
I can’t, I would make him treat me
as a woman and not ns a useful bouse
hold convenience, something other
than a gas range or vacuum cleaner,
for as such lie seems to be satisfied
ns I still Hold the job and have never
been summoned to the divorce court.
And she goes on to say. from the da.\
we were married, he lias never paid
me a compliment or issued a supple
mint to his state of affections. Terri
hie, why can't a man keep on lining
like lie did in youth. Anyway these
three don't seem to be* bothered Mil'll
about the children, if any. but here
comes one with children, and be seems
to lie having a hard time making hub
by believe they at e just sis much ids'll
ns her’n, for she says, "If lie would
only recognize and remember I bat the
ehildren are just as iiuu It his as mine"
and lend a hand witli the perainlmlat
ing, why he would lie lots easier on
iny nerves as a husband. Now this
looks bad for us. hut here eonie-. a ray
of sunshine from the fifth wife (and
one out of (“very five liavcnj lie. n mar
ried ten years yet you know) and she
says, suppose we did change them, who
would want a perfect husband.
The ‘Sidewalks’ of
New York Supplanted
The “sidewalks" of New York was
nationalized by Governor Ylfred K
Smith during his campaign last fall
and we Democrats learned to rise and
stand at attention through ball of our
radio programs, but it is no longer the
Democratic anthem now and we miss
the exercise very much. However, the
“Sidewalks" of Macon that was
brought into great prominence lasi
week by Yaraab Temple of the Mystic
Shrine, and brought hack by Harry l„
White, entitled Tlie Only Thing Wet,
was the “Sidewalks" of Macon, and we
are learning to love the “wet joker"
very much, hut can't rise to our feet
like we could in a "dry radio" pro
gram.
Imperial Potentate Prank Jones, of
Houston, Texas, was made to ft el per
fectly at home by reason of Robinson's
circus being turned loose up town, in
the midst of which nil Texans glory.
He grabbed an elephant by the rear
tail and swung onto mount VeSsuvieus
in one leap for .1 ride round about
town on the "Sidewalks" on Macon,
being accompanied by Potentate Tom
Law of Atlanta.
Y'araab Temple of Atlanta went to
Macon in a train of special equipment,
carrying with them a heavy of thirty
five chorus girls—the latter is the why
of the special equipment. We certain
ly would like to lie 11 Shriuer. We lie
long to some dozen or more secret or
ders, but none of them use chorus,
girls, which may account for them hav
ing to summons the members to get
enough present to elect officers.
Rockdale-Lower
DeKalb Merger
< uiiyci l.itlionia Mil-dead, incorpor
ated Into a Joint agricultural, indus
trial and uiainifaelurliig unit is isissi-
Me in reason of the proposed Pul toil -
DcKulb merger now in the making.
With Conyers, l.itlionia, Milstead and
Kcdnii and adjacent territory going to
make up anew Roekdiile count}, or a
in w | icKalh counly. with anew gran
ite (Mill house erected with l.itlionia
grnnlt. we would have a community of
unlimited power and possibilities. As
1 mutter of fact, Pulton county court
bouse in Atlanta could not serve all of
I icKalb county advantageously. Too
many people for prompt and timely
s: 1 vice and inconvenient distance, es-
!ii-jally to tiii> e of lower DeKalb who
would have to travel more than sixty
miles a day in serving as jurors and
witnesses in going to and from At
lanta. whereas, the greatest distance
from any point within the proposed
Rockdale-Lower DeKalb merger would
lie leu miles or less to the court house.
Within the bounderles of tills pro
posed merger, would lie one of the
largest manufacturing establishments
II litis section of Georgia and several
if the larger industrial units of the
date, whose pay rolls run into the
thousands of dollars each week, with
I In* lower section consisting of the
greatest agricultural section in the
soul It, w here it is not unusual, even
under boll weevil conditions, to pro
luce a bale or more of cotton to the
acre and a hundred bushels of corn
,ier acre. Anew county so made up
would immediately assume a leader
ship that would lie a great factor in
making Georgia a greater state and
lids people a more prosperous peo
ple. One county high school located at
Lit hernia would serve as a nucleus
■ round which an ideal system of con
solidated schools would evolve in the
interest of belter and more economical
‘ducation.
A system of paved and surfaced
roads would immediately traverse tlie
new county from all directions and
bus increase the practical and eco
nomical installation of an all inclu
dve consolidated school system that
•vi mi Id la* a head-liner attraction for
new people and new capital invest
im ids within these borders. Like it is,
Conyers and l.itlionia are both en
deavoring to maintain an uccerdited
high school and neither lots anything
in brag about in this respect. With
one consolidated county high school
and possibly a prep-unit added, along
with a system of several consolidated
grammar schools, why, you would no
longer envy prosperous Ohio, where
they even have hardwood floors for
their chicken houses.
Now come on Mr. and Mrs. Citizen,
lliiuk over tHis seriously, and let's go
Ihe I niton DeKalb merger one better,
with a Kockdnle-Lower DeKalb mer
ger of our own and keep our great pay
•oils within our own borders.

They drove along behind tin* wagon to
see where the mule would take it.
Charlie said it looked like he was go
ing to turn in at our house once, pos
sibly on uccount of hauling us stove
wood at one time or another, anyway,
lie didn’t turn in, but went on up
town, turned around and started back
for another load. All lie had on the
wagon was what looked like our long
lost lantern. The road was full of lick
er ears that night, two others over
taking them on Hie way lui.-k to Con
yers. Jesse Peek took out after one
for whom the mule turned out of the
road to let pass, but cut back in to
prevent Jesse’s pursuit —the other car
turned around in a twelve foot road
when lie saw t Hat Charlie and Jesse
had all they could bundle at one time,
and went hack from whence it came.
Since that night, they have caught
seven other stills, all north of our
Mason and Dixon line. That’s where
Mr. Hoover got most of his Rockdah
vote.

Whitakers Store at
Velta Robbed Tuesday
It is hard to get away with a rob
bery out in the country, much harder
than right in the heart of Atlanta,
where every other person you run into
is either a policeman or street car con
ductor. We read of a policeman down
in New Orleans who happened to be
near where he was needed once, but
with that one exception, we’ve never
heard of a policeman that didn’t have
to be sent for when a man was shot
or a bank was robbed. Going back to
the country, how can you account for
Velta discovering a burglar in the
school house trying to unlock a safe
or cash register that he had taken
from Arthur Whitaker’s store around
midnight. Well, Arthur found out he
was being robbed before a dime was
taken and bless your heart that burg
lar Hit the darkness so fast you could
hear him zoon when Arthur opened
up his breech-loading shooter. Just
to let Arthur know he heard him, the
burglar shot several times with a tiny
48 colts pistol that reminded several
guests of better days. Among those
present to vouch for the size and speed
of those bullets was none other than
our own window girl, Sara McCollum,
who happened to lie spending the night
over there. Now Sara may live a long
time, and we hope she does, and she
may finally get married, and ditto, but
she will never find things rougher
than .Arthur and that burglar made
it for her that night.
