JACOBS Proprietor THE ROCKDALE RECORD. CONYERS. GEORGIA f BRIEF HUMOR In ThU Wa.th.r “I am burning with love for you I" “Oh, don’t make a fuel of your self.”—Vancouver Province. Flapper of 60 “Long skirts are coming back.” “Grandma says she’s too old for changes.” Why, You Idiot! Herbert —Would you marry an idiot for the sake of money? Rita —Oh, this is so sudden. Greek and Baieball Teacher —Who was Homer? Stude —He was the fellow who made “Babe” Ruth famous. All for That “Yes, dad, I have a chance to em brace an opportunity.” “Fine, son. Give it a good hug.” Artist’s Model —Do you do much sketching from life? Artist —Oh, no, mostly from the wife. A Real Thrill Mae —What part of the picture thrilled you the most?

Jack—Er, let’s go swimming. Happinet* Baggs—Happy are they who look before they marry. Boggs—Yes, and overlook after. Date of Christ’s Birth Not*Positively Known It is generally assumed that we are living in the year 1029, but the year may really be 1933, or even later. This fact is indicated by a record of an eclipse of the moon. Bible his tory says that Christ was born during [lie reign of Herod the Great. But Herod died in the spring of 4 B. C., Hie exact date being fixed by a lunar eclipse which took place the night be fore Ids death. Obviously, therefore, Jesus might have been born not later than 4 B. C., and possibly earlier. The church has no definite knowl edge of the date of Christ’s birth. It fixed the year, month and day of the month arbitrarily. Astronomers are able to calculate the dates of past eclipses as accurate ly ns those of the future, and so have determined the very day and hour of the eclipse that ushered Herod tl*e Great out. of this life.—Condon Mail. Claimed She Had Proof Senator McNary said in the course of an argument at a Washington luncaeon: “He claims that he understands the farm problem, but the proofs he ad vances remind me of the movie star. “She was jilting a hook and eye man, and he said to her bitterly: “‘You don’t know what love is.’ ‘“I do so. I know all about it.’ said the movie star. ‘Wasn’t I dead stuck on my fifth husband?’” —Detroit Free Press. Encourage French Births The French firm of Michelin began some years ago to make family allow ances among its employees, based on the size of the family. The birth of a child is a positive economic advantage. Asa result it is reported that the birth rate in the Michelin community is twice that of France as a whole, hiv ing conditions are good; therefore, the rate of infant mortality is low. Another Bird Refuge Anew bird refuge has been estab lished on a group of islands off the tip of Florida by executive order of President Hoover. The group consists of Snake key, North key and Dead Man or Bird key. It will be known ns the Cedar keys bird refuge and will be administered by the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. Glass Blackboards Favored Educators of Europe are taking much interest in the proposal to sub stitute blackboards of translucent ground glass lighted from behind in place of the usual black surface now found in schoolrooms. It Is claimed that the new boards allow everything chalked on them to be seen by every pupil. Train Makes Record Run What is claimed to be the longest non-stop railway run ever made was recently accomplished in South Amer ica. A Beardmore-Dlesel electric en gine hauled a special train from Buenos Aires to Cipoletti, a distance of 775 miles, in 20 hours 37 minutes. Agreeable to Him Widow —Will you act as a pallbear er at my husband's funeral? Polite Friend —Nothing would give me greater pleasure. Live and Learn He (hopefully)—l’ve never seen such dreamy eyes. She (fed up)—That’s because you’ve uever stayed so late before. .. ■ ; LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION GEORGIA, Rockdale County. Ordinary’s office, December 9, 192! Mrs. M. A.

'Sold for tlia purpose of the payment of the debts of the Estate and distri bution among the heirs. This December 2nd, 1929. O. Ij. COSTLEY, Administrator Est. of M. M. Norton, Deceased; Flyer at Seventy-Five Learning to fly at seventy-five—this is the record that lias just been set up by Sir Horace Plunkett, the Irish statesman. And it was only a year or so ago that experts were gravely say ing that thirty-five was the extreme limit of age for an airman. Even more wonderful, perhaps, is President Hindenburg’s idea of a holiday. The great German soldier and statesman took a vacation from the cares of state the other day—and went off to stalk chamois in the Bavarian Alps. This involves long tramps on the hills and prolonged spells of crawling on hands and knees. And President Hin denburg is eighty-two! Overcharged Maurice often is his father’s com panion on trips to the country to re pair lights that generate their elec tricity with batteries. On one of these* occasions he was invited into the grape arbor to eat grapes to his heart's content. After the return home in the wee hours of the morning the lad’s father was awakened by groans. “What’s the matter, son,” Inquired the father. “I think an overcharge of grapes, 1 ’ replied the lad. Ten years after Umberto Paldechi of Milan began to court Signorita Maria Daldrevo he shot her because she re fused to marry him. YELLOW lfX PENCIL / vKjpi® with the ( W%/REDBAND EAGLE, ...
