Newspaper Page TextiA-f—cf THE CLEVELAND COURIER “COVERS THE MOUNTAINS LIKE MOONSHINE" Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County Vol. LIU No. 15 Good Diagnosis At. ft dinner party the other night, Dr Wallace Rogers was telling us of a con¬ versation with Susan Hayward, about why there are so many divorces in Holly¬ wood. Sue on has diagnosed the situation pretty well She said, “People on the stage and in the movies have personality— great phjsicad charm. They are drawn to each other and many of them marry on this basis, on the basis of t heir physical attract! m,” And then Susan, who told Dr. Rogers she gets down on her knees by ,the side of her bed every night and says her prayer s and thanks God for His goodness to her, says that ‘Move is something that has to grow through the year's.” She holds to the idea there is no such thing as love at first sigh’. Love is a little seed that falls into the fertile soil in the garden of the heart, where it grows and grows and grows until, tinally, when the years have come and gone, those who have natured it and cared for it are blessed by the beauty of its fruit and flower. I'd like to sign my name to a statement like that, and I have an idea that if there are men who, having grown old and fal and ugly themselves, insist upon youth and beauty in their wives, it is btcaus they have been disappointed in marriage having married on the basis of physical attraction rather than because they had the seed of real love planted in the soil <4 their hearts, and now that old age ha> come and youth and beauty are gone their hearts—bereft of beautiful flowers— are waste and desolate places —Dr Pierce Harris in Atlanta Journal Summerour To Have Sale Feb. 29 G.

This is no time to vo:e for a man to this very responsible office just because he is a good felh w, or has done you a favor.

Much Trading Done To Pass Talmadge’s Election Bill We do not know where n got its infor¬ mation—it certainly is in position to know whereof it speaks as it had two o' more stall' members Constantly in attend^ ante upon the sessions of the Genera) Assembly—but when The Atlanta (’on, Btitution editorially says that ‘ a lew senators turned against a public health measure (the Th.ree-D.ry Marriage bill) in which they believed IN A TRADE TO GAIN A FEW VOTES for the electors hill", it shows with what despei ation the administration went to ram down the throats of the people of Georgia this in¬ iquitous measure. It will be recalled that this electors hill only passed the House by one vote more than the constitutional majority needed, Even so, if wlial The UonMi.u lion says happened iu the Senate is true there must have been much more trading in the House, where the vote was so close To deprive the people of Georgia by legislative edict the right lo vote for whomsoever they please is damnably of fensiue whether you are for or against Talmadge, and our sincere belief is that this outrage will rise up to crush these destructors of our liberties with the ballot Again we repeat, a delegation sent to the Democratic National Convention by the present .state administration is not entitled to be seated therein because they say in advance that they will not support the nominee unless it be one of their own choosing —Editorial Gainesville News Coleman Reed, of Gainesville, has pur chafed Lamar Johnson’s interest in |Nix Johuson Motor Co.
