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.

I am prepared to carry passen-1 gers anywhere, any time, good re?ds or bad. at reasonable rates. | Crrefill drivers, courteous atten tion. Respectfully. R. E. Harrison. , 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.

Samples. Mr. R. E. Hansard and family and mother, Mrs. A. L. Hansard, spent Sunday with Mr. J. W. Hansard and family. Rev. J-. W. Thomas will preach at Antioch next Sunday at 11 o’clock. We are sorry to report one of Mr. H.D. Hansard’s little children on the sick list this week. 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 wedding, Mr. Landrum Nix and ' Miss Lena Dover were happily I married Sunday, Rev. V. K. ! Vaughan performing the cere , mony. LL.
