THE NORTH GEORGIAN
Tell us, are you advertising
In the same old foolish way ,
That your grand-dad did before you,
And persist, “It doesn’t pay?”
Think the whole world knows your
address
“ ’Cause it hasn’t changed in years?”
Wouldn’t the pathos of such logic
Drive a billy goat to teats?
“Just a card” is all some care for,
Hidden, lonesome and unread
Like the sign upon a tombstone
Telling folks who lies there dead.
Wake up man and take a tonic,
Bunch your hits and make a drive.
Tell the world that in business,
Advertise and keep alive !

MY MOTHER-A PRAYER.
By Tom Dillion.
For the body you gave me, the bone and the sinew, the
heart and the brain that are yours, my mother, I thank you:
I thank you for the light in my eyes, the blood in my veins,
for my speech, for my life, for my being. All that lam is
from you who bore me.
For all the love that you gave me, unmeasured from the
beginning, my mother, I thank you. I thank you for the
hand that led me, the voice that directed me, the breast that
nestled me, the arm that shielded me, the lap that rested me.
All that I am is by you, who nursed me,
For your smile in the morning and your kiss at night, my
mother, I thank you. I thank you for the tears you shed
over me, the songs that you sung to me, the prayers you said
for me, for your vigils and ministerings. All that lamis by
you, who reared me.
For the faith you had in me, the hope you had for me, for
your trust and your pride, my mother, I thank you. I thank
you for your praise and your chiding, for the justice you bred
into me and the honor you made mine. All that lam you
taught me.
For the sore travail that I caused you, for the visions and
despairs, my mother, forgive me. Forgive me the peril 1
brought you to, the sobs and the moans I wrung from you,
and for the strength I took from you, mother, forgive me.
For the fears I gave you, for the alarms and the dreads,
my mother, forgive me. Forgive me the joys I deptived
you, the toils I made for you, for the hours, the days, and
the years I claimed for you, mother, forgive me.
For the times that I hurt you, the times I had no smiles for
you, the caresses I did not give you, my mother, forgive me.
Forgive me for my angers and my revolts, for my deceits
and evasions, for all the pangs and sorrows I brought to you,
mother, forgive me.
For your lessons I did not learn, for your wishes I did not
heed, for the counsels I did not obey, my mother, forgive
me. Forgive me my pride in my youth and my glory in my
strength that forgot the holiness of your years and the ven
eration of your weakness, for my neglect, for my selfishness,
for all the great debts of your love that I have not paid,
mother, sweet mother, forgive me.
And may the peace and the joy that passetli all under
standing be yours, my mother, forever and ever. Amen.
Not until recent years have the ‘‘dads” of this country
had one fraction of praise really coming to them. The “moth
ers” have always had more or less praise. Of course when
it comes to down right appreciation, they’ll probably never
get tneir quota, but they can’t deny that there has been a lot
of high sounding things said about them. They deserved
them all, too, God bless them, and a whole lot more.
But now, you know, our “dads” deserve a lot more than
they ever really got. Our fathers,* are, as a rule, rather
quiet. They don’t don’t say much about their duty to their
family or about their hopes. Just because they are so quiet
we often fail to appreciate the load they are carrying. Many
a father sacrifices too much and gives up his life too fast for
the comfort of bis family.
Men, as a rule, seek to bide all sign of sentiment or emo
tion and many sons do not know of their father’s piide or
hopes. Fathers have the same yearning pride as Mothers,
only they cannot express it by the same tender ministries.
Get ajlittle cloter to your clad, boys and girls, lie needs
your companionship and understanding.
It is very nice to be smart and to have every one think
you wise. Still if you do not hold this enviable position, you
can still be thankful you will not have so many responsibili
ties nor will you have to keep up your reputation.
Befote you try to make over the world, be sure that your
conception of the world is correct. Perhaps you will have
to make over yourself a little.
