Then the power of suggestion worked again and we remembered what Shakespeare, or if it was not Shakespeare, it was someone by the same name who said that, “in the springtime a young man’s fancy light ly turns to thoughts of love.” We testify to the truthfulness of this stati ment, and wonder what the young Indies ire thinking about. We see now that everybody makes mistakes, even the Chief Justice of tlie United States. He made a mis take in swearing in tlie president the other day and now there are some who think that lie ought to lie sworn in again. We do not know about that, hut anyway we feel better about the one we made one time when we mar ried tiie best man to the bride. And now they tell us that the la dies' dresses are going to lie the col ors of the birds this spring. I suppose we will have to quit saying “Chicken” and being saying “Bird.” Now we wonder just how some are going to carry out the scheme. While it will be easy for others. We suppose the lady with read hair will only have to wear a black dress with some white in the front to lie a red-headed woodpecker. Then there is another way to look up on this idea of the ladies. Perhaps they want to help their husband feath er the nest. Being a member of the human fam ily we have constantly tried to see what there is to lie gotten from our lirothers and sisters. We have found that there is some good in everyone. We can look at the vagabond and de termine not to be like him, and if there are those in whom the good and bad qualities are mixed it is our vrivilege to take the good and leave the bad and in this way everyone can lie of some help to someone else. The rea son we haven’t learned more from our neighbors is because we haven’t learn ed to ally ourselves with them. If we had had given to us the third com mandment it would have been, “help one another.” When the Dead in Cochran Shal Rise Negroes thrown into near panic at Cochran, Ga., when casket “Rises” in local cemetery. A casket containing the body of a man once prominent in that locality, completely emerged from the grave Saturday afternoon in Ce dar Hill cemetery at Cochran, Ga.. in the midst of a riotous uproar among the colored folks. The gradual rise of the casket has been noticed in prog ress for several days and closely watched by a Host of people from all sections of Georgia bent upon viewing the eery phenomenon. Saturday af ternoon its emergence was complete and it rested on top of the ground and when it did, “dem good ’ole darkies done lef’ town for good. Atlanta relatives “wired" a local un dertaker to re-bury the body Sunday. Evidently too much water in the ground and that this fellow was not a Baptist. AA T e notice where a woman Voodoo doctor at Home, Ga., was found dead Saturday amid evidence of a desperate attack, her throat being cut from ear to ear. Although eighty years of age, this young woman, Miss Russell by name, had a large clientele of superstitious people from many sec tions, at one time was servant for Mrs. J. Lindsey Johnson, who e husband at one time was publisher of the Rome Tribune. It is presumed that a dis satisfied client put her where she had told him he would soon be. Rome will now have to get along without her ex pert advice. AVe had our fortune told once and the woman said we’d be talked about slanderously, but that we’d not be the father of any more children, etc., and its a great consola tion to know these things in advance. \\'e know several women in Conyers who have been having their fortune told periodically, thinking sooner or later the woman would tell them what they had already made up their minds about —well sisters, its hard to get rid of a husband what you don’t want and still harder to get one what you do want. Our wife was told that she would get lots of money and be per fectly happy some day. She ain't got no money yet and is almost miserable about it. Her mistake was in not telling the woman in advance what kind of a man we are. Miss Dwynell Potts entertained over the week-end for Miss Anna Cooper, of Decatur. Mr. and Mrs. J. AA'.

THOS. H. MARSTON, Ordinary. PETITION FOR DIVORCE Salley Hell Wilson vs- W- B- Wilson In Rockdale Superior Court, October term, 1928. ’To th(> defendant, W. B. Wilson. The plaintiff, Salley Bell Wilson, Plant a Good Staple Cotton We have just received a car load of the famous Mis sissippi Pi Delta and Pineland, No. 4 Cotton Seed. This cotton has been grown in Rockdale and adjoin ing counties for the past two years and has given perfect satisfaction from a stand point of produc tion, lint yield and staple. From 1250 to 1300 pounds of dry seed cotton you can get 500 pounds of lint. This cotton won for Rockdale county in the state con test at the state college of agriculture last year, the first prize for growing the best staple cotton of any county in the state. This cotton staples inch to 1 1-16 inch and always brings a higher price than the short er varieties. Because of its excellent quality of staple. We are very anxious that the farmers grow a good staple cotton in the territory in which we buy cotton. This saves us going west to buy our cotton and thereby enables us to pay the farmer a higher price for his cotton in the local market. These seed are put up in 100 pound bags and are worth $5.50 per bag, which is what these # seed actually cost us in car load lots and can be secured from W. O.

Without a gymnasium, Conyers is trailing many miles tile fast aggrega tions throughout the state and what makes it even worse is the fact that Conyers don’t care. Why, bless your heart, all America knows where Vien na is, for even if it is too small to see you can hear it coming down the road. Covington, Ga., has just run off an invitation tournament and cleared enough in three days to pay more than half what it would take to build a fairly decent gymnasium in Conyers. Cliamhlee recently entertained the fifth district athletic association and took in enough to pay for a gym. The fifth district wants to meet with Con yers next year, but how could we en tertain them with only a hack yard for games and a big road for events. And yet. we hold on to representation in the association and wonder why our hoys and birls go no further than to merely enter the events, and con sider the finals beyond us from the beginning. This is very embarrassing to our children and unless we can en ter decently, we should withdraw en tirely and admit our inability to keep the pace. all persons concerned are hereby cited to show cause, if any they have, at tlie next term of the Court of Ordinary of said county why said application should not be granted as prayed for.
