Mr. Legge should re spect him for performing his duty. Tut! tut!! tut!!! Mr. Legge we feel a little ashume of you, for you have proven yourself not to be as big a man as we thought you were. FORTY YEARS AS EDITOR OF |THE UNION-RECORDER Almost the entire life cf the Senior Editor has been spent in The Union- Recorder office, for forty years ago this month he became a-.-ociated with his father, tho late Mr. Jero N. Moore in publishing the paper, and since that time with the exception of four years his cam. has been at thc nviyt head. Prior to that time Ik* stuck type and did odd jobs in the of lire. Dur: hi* thought, time, energy. an,t vSI tal-nt he had towards making The I Union-Recorder a newspaper which would be a credit to Milledgeville and Baldwin county, and to con-1 tribute to thc progies ltuation as seen through the eye of one absolutely capable of giving ad vice, not only because of months of acquired information, hut because he has proven himself a success in every undertaking he has entered. Mr. Legge said very frankly “Feed Georgia.” Could there be any state ment with more sound judgment and real sensible advice. He showed the wisdom of this .statement by quoting from a recent survey which showed that millions of dollars worth of but ter, eggs ft ad vegetables were shipped into this state each year. Henry Grady made the statement many years ago which was in substance this, until farmers learn to feed their own people, agriculture will not be a r.ucccss. The address was filled with sound business advice. It had the note of a business executive advising with his employe-.-1 regarding policies to be adoptcJ in order that a profit could be realized. There were no outbursts of oratory in this address, no vicious attacks on others for agriculture’s failure, but an even tempered, de liberate, logical, frank statement of conditions as they were found by the Federal Farm Board. It was not the address of a politician who was trying to make the people believe he was a great savior and by the wave ol a mag : c wand he could cure their ills, nor did he wnnt it to appear that he was a .great disciple sent here to lift the fanner out of his rut, hut rather to advise with them and to co- I operate with those who would help II him selves. insidious home town dc<tructionist. But are here .365 days a year to Serve you .at your convenience, to back up the merchandise they sell to you, to share taxes and civic respon sibilities, to help make community life happier and more prosperous, to rejoice in your joys, to be neighbor ly, to sorrow with you when trouble comes and to stand by you when in need. This is the Milledgeville mer chant. Thc future of Milledgeville hinges absolutely on community loyalty to every one of its citizens. Loyalty to its merchants and busi ness men; its industries; its schools; its churches; to community activities; to neighbors; to local industries; und in so doing, we will be making pro gress—in our jobs, our homes, our investim nts. A survey of mail order trade in the county is surprising. Trading with the mail order house is taking from this county hundreds of dollars every year. It should be stopped.

The sec ond is to buy high-grade goods al ways In preference to low-grade goods. What the farmer wants Is plant food, und high-grade goods supply more plant food for a dollar than low-grudo goods. Manufac turers put out low-grade goods only to meet the demand for a cheap price per ton.” - Florida, An Indus- dummy smoke and i 11c of our main street, why not least place them under some sort of traffic regulations. Frequently the dummy comes through the intcrcscction of Hancock and Wayne street at a rapid rate of -peed and it has never been known to stop at one of the stop signs. Last week an automobile engine wa- choked on the track just as the driv- tr started to turn into Wayne street. The driver evidently thought the dummy would stop at the sign as all other traffic is required to do and he narrowly avoided having his car •mashed into pieces os the engine rushed on. Thc Council should pass rigid traffic laws to govern the dummy or else there is going to be a terrible accident written in Milledgeville. There is no excuse to allow this train to go through the streets at twenty- five ard thirty miles an hour. Down by G. M. C. where children are cross ing frequently, the train always picks up speed.

Mr. McCullar, President of the organization brought before the body as speakers, men who are more interested in agricul ture than the general type of speak ers that appear on these convention programs and it is hoped that the ad vice they gave and the plans th.;. exspoused will find root and thc uus secretaries will take these sages back with them to their niunitics. There is very little difference in tile fairs of the ftate. All of them are leaning a bit too much to the amusement side and not giving enough attention to the instructive side. It would be well that each fair association in the state think thia statement over. The Fair should build community spirit ,it should be in pirational to the fanner, it should teach him many things and at the close ideas gained should be of great benefit to each fanner in making up his program for the year. Would a short course of instrhe- tion arranged by the college of agri- chlthre help the farmer? Each day various topics could be treated. Poul try culling and care, livestock and its problems, preparing the milk and butter for market, *oil improvement and ninny other topics that would prove advantageous would be of great help to the farmer.

There are great happenings, great temptations, unlooked for happiness and great sorrow in every life.

If we are misunderstood and are forsaken by friends, also was our Savior. He had but a few earthly friends and wept tears of sorrow when he lost one. Good health and a good name is by far two of the greatest blessings on earth; yet some of thc sweetest and grandest live* this world has ever known have and .are still being lived ly those who never know a moment’s relief from pain. Must wc be poor? Christ was poor. He had not where too lay His head and was buried in a borrowed grave. The white and dainty hand that has never known Any thing of toil will be just as cold and still as the band that has been hardened and darkened by toil, and the heart that has never known sorrows touch will be just as cold and still as the heart that has been wrung and snared by unspeakable angurihand misery. So we should rejoice in hope, strug gle from despondancy, climb the hill of difficulty and live on the moun tain top where faith and hope dwells. When we stand on the threshole of life and look down it’s shining years with longing eyes and soaring spirit. Wo should be ready for the Heavenly Father to ;ay “well done Thou good und faithful servant.” Come ail ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.
