THE NORTH GEORGIAN
VOL. XXVtII.
ROUTE 2
After an absent of about one
month I am back with the
grand old North Georgian.
Some rain and plenty of mud
dy roads to work, cotton and
peas to pick, sorghum to look
after and then if we have time
we will get up some wood and
prepare for winter.
David Dawdon you seem to
be getting uneasy about me I
am O. K., rest easy J just got
careless and neglected to write
any. I will try however to do
better in the future and be with
you every week or as often as
possible. I believe you are
quite right in believing we
should make the North Geor
gian the standard American
weekly. I think it should be
recognized as such now be
cause it always stands up for
what is just and right, never
taking on to anything that is
against the common people.
Nette, the oldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Ramon Roper,
who has been suffering with
appendicits for sometime, we
are sorry to say is not any bet
ter at this writing.
Mr. John H. McCoy and fam
ily spen Sunday at Mr. E. H.
Vance’s.
Mr. Arthur Martin and sis
ter, Mrs. Eugene Vance had a
narrow escape Sunday when
the mule they were driving be
came firghtened at an automo
bile throwing them both from
the buggy, fortunately both es
caped unhurt.
Mr. Asberry Wolfe and wife
of Cumming spent Sunday at
Mrs. N. E. Wolfe’s.
Cotton is opening up at areas
onable price, we hope to see it
reach the 30 cent mark though
it should b that and even more
for the farmers to make ends
meet cotton should be 30 cents
now so we could get a pound of
meat for a pound of cotton, for
tunately corn is pretty good in
this section this time. If the
farmers will sow plenty of
small grain this fall and try
harder than ever to raise their
meat they can pull through
another year alright regardless
of war prices.
Those visiting at Mr. T. A.
Wallis’ Sunday afternoon were,
Messrs G. W. Sanders, J. P.
Chadwick and Guy Pirkle.
Had any new syrup yet? I
tell you it is fine after tanking
up on Karo.
Messrs J. L.Martin and Mil
lard Williams have each pur
chased a Ford.
Mr. S. C. Williams and fam
ily visited at Mr. G. W. Beavers

happens and would like to meet
you over there.

gers anywhere, any time, good
re?ds or bad. at reasonable rates. |
Crrefill drivers, courteous atten

FROM CUBA
Sunday school at Friendship
was a failure last Sunday It
is strange to think how indiffer
ent people can be in regard to
Sunday school work especially
grown up church members who
claim to be in favor of the Sun
day school cause but the ma
jority of them seems to be de
pending on the other to go and
let them stay at home or go
some where else except to Sun
day school and it appears like
that might be a very poor show
ing on the great day of accounts
for our stewardship here.
The late rains seem to be giv
ing the people the blues on ac
count of the late cotton and
they want to be pulling the
fleecy staple and be taking in
the high price dollars, but that
is a matter over which we have
no controll.

I wonder why some people
never forget to criticize the min
ister’s sermon and then forget to
do as well as he preached.
I wonder why some people can
kick so easily and why it is so
hard for them to pull? When I
was a boy I used to work a yoke
of steers that gave me a great
deal of annoyance. They just
would pull against the yoke, and
old Jerry would have to be whip
ped up a hill and have to be held
back down a hill. He would not
pull the load, but when the load
had reached the top of the hill
he would run away with the load
I wonder why some people are
; like that steer? It is mighty hard
for some to pull the load to the
jtop, but it is mighty easy for.
some then to take possession and
run down the hill.
Why, yes, I got to write that
