Community Picnic.
One of the most enjoyable oe
casions of the season, was a pic
nic given at the school house in
Cumming on the evening of the
2nd in honor of the men of the
town.
The families began to gather
at 8 o’clock and continued to
come until there were quite a
number of men. women and child
ren, all in high spirits fullv pre
pared to enter into the pleasures
of the evening and to enjoy what
ever might have been prepared
for them. <
While the lunch was being
spread the guests wi<re entertain
ed with music, after which all
were invited fc> come out in the
open and partake ot the lunch
which turned out',to be a verita
ble feast.
It is useless tP say that this
feature of the program was en
joyed by all and every one was
satisfied.
After lunch many old fashioned
! games were played and songs
were sung by the children. Many
of the older people entered intc
games with a zest equal to that
of any of the yourtger set.
Everybody went home feeling
happier and youngpr than when
they came, and realized that
there is a side to life other than
work and busineso. Those who
were not there missed something
but you will have an opportunity
in the near future to enjoy an
other such occasion and it is
hoped you will be there.
The program for motion pic
tures at the court house Satur
day night consists of Franklyn

Raj oh,” a two reel western.

HON CLIFFORD WALKER
IN BEHALF OF A
BETTER GEORGIA
Reprint of Article from the Cur
rollton Free Press Reporting
Speech of Hon. Clifford Walker
Made in Carrollton.
The address of Hon. Clifford
Walker, Attorney General of
Georgia, was one of the most
powerful and convincing ever de
livered in Carrollton on Memorial
Day. His main line of thought
is “the Improvement of Educa
tional Conditions in Georgia,”
and in a most incisive manner he
dealt with the questions of Vis
iting Nurses, Good Roads. Living
Salaries, Medical Examinations,
for our school children, |lmmig
ration Tests, and not least of all,
Bolshevism, that foul vulture
whose sable shadows are upon
every land. Surely everybody
will want Clifford Walker, pfin
cely and patriotic as he is, a de
vout churchman, an active lay
man. a constructive statesman,
an educational reformer, for our
next Governor. Avery promi
nent man of our town who w'ent
to school with him when they
were boys said to the writer, “I
have never heard one word
against Clifford Walker.

What Is Contentment.
Is contentment a quality ol mind to be found only in (lie
aged couple? That is the way we usually picture it. We
see a nice old couple sitting on their front porch in the sum
mer time and we say they are ‘‘the picture of contentment.”
To be sure they are, but can’t young people be contented
too? At least they can have a negative contentment. While
they may be striving to better their condition in the future
they can hold their mind in a state of contentment in regard
to the mistakes of the past. They can icalize that there is
no use in “crying over spilt milk,” that while they are cry
ing they are only losing ground.
When Old Man Trouble comes, how are you going to
act? Of course, you won’t be glad to see him, but are you
going to make the best ol the situation? Arc you going to
be “a good sport” or “a quitter?” Arc you going to take '
him all over the neighborhood and try and leave him on some,
one else’s door step, when he is really your own particular
care? Or arc you going to take him in and then foreve r
after weary your friends to death telling them about your un
happiness? Trouble come to every one* of us. There’sjjuit
a one who doesn’t get his share. You may think you know
some man who hasn’t met trouble but you haven’t. lie’s
just kept still about it, that’s all. Now when trouble comes, *,
don’t whine. Make the best of ii. Whining won’t drive,
him away and it won’t make you any friends. Meet him
with a grin and your head up. Pretty soon he’ll quit calling,
on you for he really doesn’t enjoy a cheerful greeting.
I low few people are contented with their lot 1 The car
penter wants to be anything hut a carpenter, and the
anything but a mason, and the e litor anything but an editor
and everyone would be. happy if lie were on]y something
else. The violet wants to be a sun dower, and tfre apple
orchards throw -<fh\?n Tfitffr bfos spins' because they arc not
tall cedars. Parents have the worst children that ever were
born, and each one has the greatest misfortune, and every
thing is upside down, or going to be. Now, gentle reader,
you will never make any advance through such a spirit. You
cannot fret yourself up but can fret yourself down. We
brought nothing into the world and it is certain we carry
nothing out. If we live the right kink of lives, whatever our
ciicumstaces may now be, we ’arc going to have a glorious
vacation. As in summer we put off our garments and go
down into the cool sea to bathe, so we put .off our garments
of flesh and step into the cool garden of eternity.

Fighting for a principle is a rare occurrence now, except
among small boys, who are strongly urged by tju: desire to
punch someone’s nose in addition. Perhaps it requires too
much exertion and is less popular than a polite withdrawal.
There is something noble about backing up a principle—lik*
taking a defeat standing. And if a person never never backs
up a principle he will never have any, Sticking to the guns
s the one way in which a man may be right and wrong at
ithe same time, For, though the principle may be wrong,
he is right in supporting it, if his convictions arc honest.
How many of us, when we see a young man wrth an arm
or leg missing, pass him by unheeded and go smug'y on our
way, never thinking that perhaps he may have lost the arm
or the leg in the cause of America. When our wounded
heroes first returned from France, nothing was good enough
for them. They were paraded down (lower-decked streets
and treated as royal princes. They began to feel that their
sacrifice, great as it was, did not deserve this ovation. We
offered to give them all of America then —but now, in many
cases we do not even give them a job. If anyone has the
right to turn anarchist, plant bombs and shoot up the coun
try in general it is these wounded soldiers. In the first
if you were maimed for life, no matter how it happened, you
wouldn't feel very happy about having your dreams blasted
and your plan of life shot to pieces. But to be maimed in a
war that hasn’t turned out to be such a howling success and
for a country that usually turns a cold shoulder when you
merely ask for a chance to earli an honest living —surely that
; doesn’t tend to foster a very patriotic spirit. So the next
i me one of these fellaws comes your way don't pass him by
tunnoticed; don’t pity him, but treat him like the man he is.
