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 There was no j a h-board, the buggy seat had been replaced by a soap box, and if there ever had been paint applied to any rt of it.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. r-pyrigbt, 1929. A. D. Stone.

HINES 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?
