ere 150 mile* apart by way of
u J roads, so it was decided to
J*., a „ unmarked shortcut.
we drove, we kept inquiring,
* ^,i< the way to Blankville?”
* t0 w hom the question was put
” each case replied, “Where you
* I decided to ask the next
fellow where he was going.
‘ flv overtook a man in an open
b „ory-I say “burey”—it wa, once,
( j, jbt, but could hardly be called
< was”. One wheel dished in,
dished out, a front wheel
(j.-ru both ways. There was no
j a h-board, the buggy seat had been
replaced by a soap box, and if there
ever had been paint applied to any
rt of it. all traces had been obliter-
•tti Seated, or had I better say,
rchvd or. the box that served for a
u all hunched over, was a be-
w hinhered individual, adorned with
• nu ., lt much patched and seldom,
;{ ev . r. washed. As we signaled for
half th one-lane road, he clucked
atni pushed on the lines that hung
our the rump of the most ungainly,
.pstint'd specimen of horse flesh I
l>u r had the dDpleasure of behold-
; r „ ciuwing to the pace of his steed,
I mac salutation with, “Where you
; :(r . brother?” He turned slowly
toward us, evacuated sufficient
volume .if deep brown liquid to make
ip V. h possible, and replied, “Oh, I’m
u t riilin’ in to ride out”
T,. say I was nonplused would not
j t . r l, 0 jt—I was flabbergasted and
stumped. Here is the season of the
;i man whose occupation could
i,v none other than one demanding ;
a ;i f his time, was “just ridin’ in
., r ,(ie out” “W’hy?” I asked, and
h.. replied, “Wa’al, there ain’t no
chores about the place, so might as
writ kill time one way as t’other." j
There are many towns just like
that -“ju?t ridin’ in to ride out,”,
ayinir there isn’t anything to do.
If the vehicle your town uses to
pt : somewhere is a womout, old-
fashiuned, ram-ehackle dilapidated,
: atrhed-up affair, with a spavined,
buck-knecd, string-haltered means of
loco motion, the thing to do is wake
up to modern ways of doing things. I
Giv your ideas .and ways of doing
things a “have, shampoo and hair cut.
Throw away your home spun jeans
and get yourself into a pair of 1929 ,
pants. By so doing, others will do
liktwise and then, .and only then will
you eet some place.
Where is Milledgeville going? It
must be going some place—ahead or
backward. If it is “just ridin’ in to
ride out.” it’s standing still, which is
c«.ing back, and soon stagnation will j
-it in. which is even worse than com
plete annihilation.

Indeed no, the Old Home Town
will not be left behind, so i
luncheon given by the President of
the Baldwin County Federation to
one representative from each of the
nine clubs which make up this Fed-
1 eration—it was decided that a com
mittee should be appointed to look
into the matter of arousing interest
among all the folks in our little city
to “doll up” for Christmas week by
having either an out-door Christmas
Tree—a specially lighted window—
or front door—or a tree on the
porch. So —everybody look out—
you will be called upon or over the
phone—or "las?oed” down town by
some member of that committee —
and woe be unto you if you don’t
I And so—the president—(your
humble servant) then proceeded to
appoint a committee—and tgvided
the town into four slices of pie. That
was a “big order” but it can be
done. Taking the cross street in
center of town—you have one”
slice” beginning at Culver and Kidds
—one at Joseph’s—one at the A&P
Store and the fourth at the Exchange
Bank. So far—so good. Now you
know how a pie looks when it hns
been cut into four parts—and each
slice has a chairman—and she will
appoint her own committee to help
work up this lighting business. The
four chairman are'a« follows—(for
the four slices—) Josephs—Mrs. G.
A. Lawrence; A&P Store—Miss
Leila Lamar; Culver and Kidds—
Min. Peason Berry; Exchange Bank
—Mr.-. M. H. Bland. Then for the
Sanitarium—Mrs. J. I. Garrard.
Now isn’t that a dandy committee?
So—all of you who read this—when
some body asks you—” What arc
going to do to help make the Old
Home Town beautiful for Christmas
Time—?” You just be ready to give
a fine answer—and if you are
REAL good citizen—you won’t wait
to be called you can call up your own
committee chairman—for if you
think a minute—you will know which
slice you live in. Hurrah for the
Christmas Lights—and we wart
EVERYBODY to help. More will be
written about this later.
Then—at this same luncheon—it
was decided that again wo would ask
the nine organizations to donate
one dollar each to help light an up
town Christmas Tree—and
have the wires and bulb* from the
one we started with last year—we
will have two this year. We expect
to go on until we can have four—
one at each of those four corners.
We started at the Exchange Bank
comer—and we will add the second
one this year—over on the AJtP
That is—if we luck well. We
haven’t heard from all the organiza
tions yet—but we KNOW they will
respond and your humble servant
‘appoar before tho Old Home
Town Council—” beiore you read
this and ask if they will co-operate
again as they did last year—and w
sure they will say YES—all ii
capitol letters—just like that. And
Mr. Wilson of the Georgia Power
Company has already said he’s willing
to do the same thing—-co we will be
sitting pretty—”. Then Mr. Adams
—he does hs part also—and so there
are. Who would live in a Town
that didn't want to do those kind of
things—things that make you feel
happier—and love your Town more
nd your neighbor* better and bet
ter?
So—look out and be ready to d
your part—and won’t the kiddies-
to say nothing of “pa-and ma”—au
Uncle Jim and Aunt Het—won'
they ALL have a grand time looking
at the pretty decorations—and won’t
just make us all have that real
Christmas spirit and want to do more
for others?
