A glutton is the one who put the
“eat” in death.
Most people worry too much about
what other people think of them.
Many a sick person gets well the
day the football game is to be played.
If you keep working at it long
enough, the hardest job will be fin- |
ished.
Any father can tell you that the i
small boys are the guys who put the
“din” in reading.
Isn’t it funny that it is usually aft
er a man dies that people find out
really how good he was.
The best way to take care of the I
so-called Red menace is to be sure j
we are taking care of our own busi- I
ness.
Men would be great successes if
they could be half as successful as
as their wives think they can make
them.
Kind words and a friendly disposi
tion help ease the burdens of the
world, but they don’t feed or clothe
anybody.
One financial rule that is worth
knowing and remembering: It is eas
ier to make debts than to pay them.
Eminent educators have expressed
doit't as to man’s ability to use his
brain to any extent worth mentioning.
Advertising, brother merchant, is
your business; newspaper advertising
is our business. If you want the
best, send for us.
One reason why some men fail in
business is that they spend too much
time and thought on what their com
petitor is doing.
The youngsters growing up in
Summerville deserve the best thought
of all adult citizens. They are our re
sponsibility.
Going to church, as a habit, may
be derided, but it doesn’t hurt those
who go, and sometimes it causes them
to help some who stay away.
If married happiness got as much
publicity as divorce suit scandals, the
younger generation would have more
respect for matrimony as an institu
tion of society.
Every citizen in Summerville should
buy and sell everything possible in
Summerville. Co-operation in trad
ing works both ways and means prof
its for the buyer, seller and the home
town.
HOW TO ENRICH CHATTOOGA
COUNTY.
A community, like an individual,
gets rich by selling more than it
buys.
If the reader will consider Chat
tooga County as a unit the fact re
mains that to become richer it must
export, that is sell, more than it im
ports, or buys, from other parts of I
the world.
For the reason, when one spends
money at home, the tendency is for
a larger proportion of the sale price
to remain in local hands, and thus as
sist in the ultimate enrichment of the
entire community. Money sent out of
town seldom comes back. 'lt should
not be so spent unless there is not
another alternative.
SIT-DOWN STRIKERS MUST PAY.
Here’s one way of breaking up the |
sit-down strike technique.
A jury in a Pennsylvania court last
week gave a verdict of $5,000 to a
company for damages against 204 in- :
dividual strikers who occupied the
company’s plant for a week about a
year go.
If the idea gets firmly established
that sit-down strikers will be held
liable for damages suffered during
their occupation of property that
does not belong to them, and that,
they will have to pay the bill, there
will be no great rush of strikers to .
occupy plants during industrial dis
putes in the future.
MONEY, TRADE & PROSPERITY.
Money is an ingenius device of
mankind to facilitate the exchange of
commodities between people.
Its use has replaced the ancient
custom of barter, in which commodi
ties were swapped to such an extent
that people have misunderstood its
function.
Although the United States has
$14,000,000,000 worth of gold, or con
siderably more than its share in com
parison with the rest of the world, it
is not enough to prevent the break
to restore “good times” is the in
creased barter of commodities.
The wheat farmer, for example,
finds a huge surplus depressing pri
ces while millions in other lands
starve. Yet, everyone knows that
other people have many commodities
which the world can use and obvious
ly a swap of commodities would be
to the interest of both nations.
The illustration, repeated thousands
of times, explains how the prosperity
and progress of peoples are interwov
en in the trading of their commodi
l ties. It also demonstrates that pros
perity depends upon the trade that
is advantageous to both peoples or
individuals.
Whenever you hear of competing
companies getting together “for the
good of business,” you can probably
conclude that this means a conspira
cy to take it from the average citizen
PARAGRAPHS
The Crucial Test.
Any man is a wonder who can sit
between two women through a long
dinner and not make one of them an
gry.—William Feather Magazine.
Cynical Note.
To the bombproof cellars, men! An
other disarmament conference pre
dicted for 1940!' —Topeka Capital.
But He Knows One.
The swell head germ is nobody’s
fool. He always manages to pick out
an empty one.—The Ashland (Ky.)
Daily Independent.
Wonderful.
Yes, golf is a wonderful game. It
keeps a man’s mind off the business
that he’s neglecting. —Fort Wayne
News-Sentinel.
Fun In Masks.
A display of acrobatic and tap
dancing by children wearing gas
masks was given last night in the
front garden of the A. R. P. shop at

New Low For Lousiness.
When it comes to expressing edi
torial disapproval, a copy reader on

near the top. Disgustedly looking at

story is so lousy it’ll have to be re
written before I throw it away!”

I would like to add a few words as
to the type of family this couple have
reared. They have one son who is a
preacher, also two grandsons and
three sons-in-law. Also one son-in
law who is superintendent of the
Wesleyan Methodist orphanage at
Macon. They are proud of the fact
that of all their sons and daughters
and sons-in-law and daughters-in
law, not one uses intoxicating bev
erages or tobacco in any form. Quite
a record for such a large family!
Their many friends wish for them
many more anniversaries.

last. Due to the fact that I received
the second highest number of votes in
said primary and due to the further
fact that Mr. Roy Alexander’s name
I feel that I am qualified to announce
will be withdrawn at his own request,
myself as a candidate for this office
in the general election.
