Don’t Run
The risk of losing your rights by not having your
Deeds and Mortgages on Record.
Every Deed Conveying Land
Should be recorded in the office of the Clerk
of the Superior Court- of the County where the
land lies. Record may be made at any time, but
such cexd loses its priority over a sbusequent re
corded deed from the same vendor--Sect
ion 36; 18.
“Mortgages on realty must be recorded in
the county were the land lies; on personality, in
the county where the mortgager at time of ex
ecution.”’---Section 27, 26.
I will record at half price any deed recorded
in the old counties.

Truth and Education will
Re-Create Citizenship. «
A region over six hundred miles long and two hundred wide, in
this country, is covered by a range of Mountains extending from the
borders of Pennsylvania, to Northern Georgia and Alabama.
For vears the inhabitants dwelt almost apart from all other peo
ple, théir life was secretive and suspicious, they were scarcely known.
With the onward march of civilization, brave souls carried God’s
word and the seedlings of knowledge to these benighted ones, and this
influence soon changed the primitive shack to the more modern struct
ure, and to-day are to be seen throughout the Appalican Range, the
effect of truth, knowledge and development.
Paralleling the change wrought in this vast territory, is a picture
in our own beloved Georgia, where until the advent of a class of men
‘belong ng to the new south, we depended on the outside for aid and
knowledge, while in truth the assistance given kept us on a parity
with the inhabitants of the Appalacians before Gods word and educat
ion reached them.
Bright, true and honest men came to the front to direct the
destines of our people, who soon learned to appreciate their efforts,
and feslty to home enterprise, has buit in Georgia an organization that
for fair dealiug and conservativness has no competitor, for the EM
PIRE LIFE stands alone. j

He Gained a Dime and Then He Fig
ured Up the Loss,
The next time Lionel, whose other
nnie doesn't watter, gets his optics on
un unattached dime he'll look the oth
er way, For Lionel is all peeved up
over an adventure he had the other
night—=an adventure that had a dime
for itg foundation and for which he
ettt hlame no one bhut Lionel, He re
henrsed his money tronble thuswise:
C"ln o Broadway ear | suw it=the
hue that was hoodooed, It lay upon
the floor of the ear unclaimed and
lonesome, No one else seemed to care
to tuke it in and give it a welcome, so
1 did. But even as | reached for the
bit of silver the trouble drama opened,
My suspenders snapped with the strain
—for, ns you can see, I'm not bullt on
the sunken garden plan as regards
avoirdupois. Thereupon I reached back
to gather the frayed ends of the busted
surcingle, still feeling for the chunk of
white metal with the other hund., My
watch, not to be shoved out of the
drama without a chance to do its little
part, dropped out of my pocket, mag
ing a decided hit., The crystal broke
into 7.809 pieces, not counting the one
that 1 got in my finger later. The
works mingled with the dirt and shat
tered glass, and the case tripped gayly
into a corner. Just to show it was
ulso interested. a perfectly good silver
dollar bounced out of my waistcoat
pocket and did the vanishing act—
where, I know not. A fountain pen,
all framed up with gold bands, follow
ed suit., By this time 1 was giving the
rest of the puassengers the show of
their lives—and nobody coming across
with anything but the giggle gag. And
I couldn’t vocalize my feelings because
there were ladies present. Holding
on to my wrecked raiment and carry
ing .my assorted ruins as well as 1
might, I hurled myself off that car
at the next corner. Then 1 beat it for
a friendly retreat and totaled up the
event. The wreck had set me back
s4l, but 1 bad the dime!"—Cincinnati

" HIS LEGAL AUTHORITY.
It Seemed to Fit the Czse, and Joey
Was Discharged. .
There was consternation among the
young folk. The “music” for the darnc
ing at the picnic in the glen had got
into trouble. No one ever considered
any other “music” but Joey the fiddler.
He was indispensable, but he was also
erratic. In the old country Joey had
been a scheolteacher and a man of
rousiderabie learning, but here he had
fallen into evil ways. He was over- |
fond of two things—a botile and an}|
argument. Having become engaged in
the lat{er on this day of the picnic, he
broke the former over the head of his
opponent and was haled away to the
lockup. ~The young people called a
hasty meeting and appointed a com
mittee to wait upon Squire Nugent to
secure the release of the *“music” if’
possible. The squi“e was hearing
Joey's case when the committee ar
rived. 'T'he spokesman respectfully ex
plained the absolute necessity of Joey's
presence at the picnic that day.
“That's a good soul, squire, I'ave me
go.” put in Joey.
The squire took down a ponderous
lawbook and Dbegan thoughtfully to
turn the pages.
“If vou're lookin' for the legal au
thority coverin’ my case, squire,~ye’ll
find it in Byron,” the prisoner sug
gested.
“Can you quote it?" asked the mag
istrate, with a twinkle in his eye.
“Aye, so I can,” Joey promptly re
torted. ‘lt reads, ‘On with the dance;
let Joey be unconfined.””
The squire adjudged Byron a com
petent authority, and Joey was uncon
fined.—Catholic Standard and Times.
Enjoying Himself.
A fond mother sent her small boy
into the country and after a week of
anxiety received the following letter:
“I got here all right, and 1 forgot to
write before. It is a very nice place to
have fun. A fellow and I went out in
a hoat, the boat tipped over, and a
man got me out, and I was so full of
water that I didn’t know nothin’ for a
long while. ¢
“'he other boy has to be buried
when they find him. His mother came
from her home, and she cried all the
time. A horse kicked me over, and T
have got to have some money to pay
the doctor for mendin’ my head. It
was broken a bit.
“We are goin’ to set an old barn on
fire tonight, and I am not your son if
I don’t have some real fun. I Jost my
watch, and I am very sorry. I shall
bring home some snakes and a toad.
and I shall bring home a tame crow if |
I can get ’em in my trunk.”—London

“Yes,” said the fresh young lieuten
ant, “the army has fallen on evil
days.”
The sophisticated captain merely |
gasped. . |
