The ’possum is hastening to fat
ness and juiciness. The accompani
ment of sweet potatoes has been
ready some time to take its place
in “the ’possum stew.” Hill liif
fern, when the stew-pan is right,
will return to his own.
The harvesting of corn is at
hand, arid while our farmers are
thus engaged let them not forget
to select the best specimens from
the most thrifty stalks for seed to
be planted next year. This selec
tion should apply to every crop
the farmers grow. It leads to
agricultural success.
It takes but little time to plant
a rose bush or train a vine, or pre
pare a bed and drop a few flower
seeds. Their presence has much
to do in making a borne look
beautiful and co/.y. We should
never eouut time or money wasted
that adds to the charm of our
home and making it attractive
and loveable.
The professional politician can
now retire and ply some other voca
tion for a season. It may not be
lucrative, but it will be honorable
and last longer; perhaps more con
dueive to happiness and clean I i
ness of thought and action, lie
will have to try it awhile
whether it comports with his in
stinctive views of life or not.
A medical writer, in Progressive
Fanner, advises persons over forty
years to submit to frequent and
thorough physical examinations to
discover the presence of incipient
disease. Thus they may detect
any insidious ailment, check and
correct it before it becomes incur
able, and thus prolong life. The
Great. Physician furnishes an nn
failing prescription to secure
length of days —“Honor thy father
and mother.”
Elder J. L. Brown, of Walnut
Grove, Ark., never wrote any tru
er paragraph: “Everything in
this world was created for a pur
pose. True science seeks to find
out. that purpose. We judge
things useless sometimes —not be
cause they are useless, but because
we are ignorant concerning their
nature and use. God is no idler,
wasting time and crowding space
with needless things.”
The Dawson Journal ventures
this sage advice: “There is need
of less joy-riding, less pursuit of
butterfly pleasure, and more seri
ousness. move old-fashioned work,
more persistence, more frugality,
more long hours of work. Just
now the difference between pa
triotism and the lack of patriotism
is largely shown by one of these
roads that a person travels." Edi
tor Rainey is no grouch.
The ballot is uot, a commodity
to be hawked about as merchan
dise. The citizen who so regards
it has lost sight of its meaning. The
right to vote is a saered trust,
the insignia ot sovereignty, to be
used for the good of the body poli
tie. The corollary follows: If the
citizen becomes indifferent, care
less in so using it, sells it to the
highest bidder, he should be de
prived of it altogether. No man
should be permitted to sell his
sovereignty.
The hempen necktie is again
coming in fashion as a punishment
for murder. The trial juries have
reached the conclusion that heroic
measures must be taken to arrest
the disregard for law against the
taking of human life. Capital
punishment w ill be executed upon
a negro man in Berrien county
next month, his crime being the
murder of bis w ife. In another
near by county the jury trying a
murder case brought in a verdict
of guilty without a recommenda
tion, and two white men will pay
the penalty for murder on the gal
lows. Human life is beiug rated
too cheap and some drastic meas
ure is necessary to stay the wan
ton shedding of human blood.
Here and There.
Tom Sweat says Carl M urray's
home w ill be the prettiest in the
city, it will be of the bungalow
style. Of course it will be next
door to Tom, aud Tom wants a
home just like it.
The Tribune rejoices with the
many friends of Mr. A. A. Walden,
>f Millwood, because of the im
provement of his health. Trust he
will soon be up and able to attend
to his business affairs.
The State confirmation conven
tion meets in Macon on Monday,
October 25. It will confirm the
recent primary nominations and
name a new executive committee
for the ensuing twu> years.
Mr. John E. Maine, of Millwood
and the News’ printer, was in the
city this week looking after busi
ness connected with bis mother’s
estate. He tells us be is thinking
of giving up the newspaper game
and going back to the farm.
The United Confederate Veter
ans are holding their thirtieth an
nual reunion at Houston, Texas,
this week. Reports say they have
had a most enjoyable meeting.
Atkinson county did not- have a
representative at. the meeting.
There is considerable chat going
on about what is to happen to the
fast train, known as the “Dixie
Flyer. One version is that the
Louisville and Nashville will de
flect Hi is oi l established train ser
vice from Atlanta by way of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad to Waycross and Atlantic
Coast Line into Jacksonville.
Former Senator Thomas W.
Hardwick swept the State for gov
ernor in the run-over primi ry. The
result so far as known is that he
he has 224 county unit votes, Mr.
Walker has 140 and 10 not report
ed. This is the fact whether you
like it or not. The time for argu
ment has passed, and now begin to
adjust yourself to the situation
and make a strong pull to bring
order out of chaos, right out of
wrong, victory out of defeat, by
working for higher standards of
morality, more intelligent citizen
ship, and more loyalty to State
and country and last, but not least,
greater industrial advancement.

Riding Free Horse to Deaths
The press of the country have
become tired and disgusted with
the brazen effrontery with which
some interests continue to crowd
upon their attention space grafting.
The newspaper people during the
world war, in their intense loyalty
to their country, opened their col
umns to all manner of spaed graft
ers, thinking that with the end of
the war would come also an end to
this intolerable free horse riding.
The Red Cross is the most insis
tent of these offenders. 1 1 is now
appealing to the press for help to
put over its 1920 Roll Call cam
paign, which is to be intensive
November 11 to 25 inclusive. It
strikes all reasonable thinking
people that, notwithstanding it is
the worthiest of all organizations
calling for free help, this unbusi
nesslike method is without value.
The press made the Red Cross au
assured success, and now’s the time
for this free business to cease.
PE ARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 8. 1920
THE MEETING AT UGIIS
Woman’s Baptist Missionary Un
ion of Smyrna Association.
The Woman’s Baptist Mission
ary Union, of Smyrna Association,
met in their annual meeting with
the Niebolls Baptist church on
Thursday, October 7th.
The meeting was called to order
by Mrs. E. 1.. Tanner, Douglas,
the efficient Superintendent.
The devotional led by Mrs.
Janies L. Cochran, Douglas, was
very beneficial to all who heard
her. Then after a few words from
the Superintendent came the ad
dress of welcome by Mrs Meeks,
Nicholls, and response by Mrs. J.
A. Sikes, Douglas.
The reports were then made:
1. The report of Mrs. E. L. Tan
ner, tin* Superintendent.
2. The reports of the District
Secretaries —Mesdaines B. H. Tan
ner, A. F. Coffee, C. N. Gibbs and
J. F. Meeks.
3. No Personal Service report
was made owing to the absence of
Mrs. A. Harper.
4. Two numbers of the program
had to be omitted because of the
enforced absence of Mesdaines Mel
viu Tanner and L. D. Giliis.
Just before the lunch hour a
very beneficial address was made
by Mrs. E. K. Overstreet, Sylvania,
vice president of the Southeastern
I >i vision.
The devotional service for the
afternoon wasted by Miss Marga
ret Dailey, Douglas.
The afternoon program was fill
ed with good tilings, followed by
the reports of committees.
1. Time and place. —la October,
1921, at Douglas. The exact day
will be selected later.
2. Nominations. —The following
officers were nominated and elect
ed. Mrs. E. L. Tanner, Douglas.
Superintendent. Mesdaines L.-D
Cillis of Stokesville; James L

K. L. Griffis, Superintendent of
Personal Service work. Mrs. S. J.
Ellison, Superintendent of Mission
Study. Mrs. T. 11. Jenkins, Alma,
Superintendent of Publicity.
The Woman’s Baptist Mission
ary Union ot Smyrna Association
was wonderfully blest during the
past year. For the first time
in several years the memori
al service could be omitted from
the program; there were no deaths
reported for the year.
The music and singing, especial
ly the solos, during the day were
exceedingly excellent and greatly
enjoyed.
The solo by little Miss Marjorie
Frier specially appealed to the
emotions of this Reporter: it
brought fresh to her memory Mar
jorie's sainted mother, who sang
a sweet solo at the Stokesville
rally in November, 19)9.
The noon hour was thoroughly
enjoyed. The hospitality of the
ladies of Nicholls cannot be stir
passed.
The meeting was one of the most
interesting and profitable this Re
porter has ever attended. The
Christians spirit aud harmony that
prevailed was really charming.
We lived one day amid true
Christian fellowship.
Slump in Building Material.
The recent decline in the prices
of all building material is pleasing
to those people who had improve
ments they desired to make and
hesitated because of the almost
prohibitive prices for the stock
that would go into the construe
tion.
The pricefof cement has been re
duced to anti war figures. Brick
has commenced declining but the
descent is not so rapid. Lumber
prices have gone all to pieces and
attempted adjustment to a stan
dard lias been futile.
Those counties voting bonds for
road paving are pleased at the
tunicas it will soon enable them
to proceed with the work for
which they have already provided
funds.
Residences and tenement houses
are iu great demand and w ith ma
terial at reasonable prices will
awaken renewed interest in au
effort to supply the demaud.

was so weakened,” writes Mrs.
W. F. Ray, of Easley, S. C.

two months, still 1 didn’t get

tinues Mrs. Ray ... “I took

if you want to do your part in
advertising Georgia, it is possibly
necessary before you can do any
effective work to find out a little
more yourself about your state. In
fact one of the chief purposes of
the campaign which is now on to
advertise the state is to Jet Geor
gians themselves know more about
their home. Be assured of this
one fact, that you can boost to
your heart's contents, unless you
area natural born Ananias, you
will not say too much for this fa
vured country. That our climate
is the equal of any section in
America is at last being recognized.
That health conditions are shown
by actual statistics to be as
good as the northern part of tlit*
slate. That the soil is susceptible
of producing a greater variety of
crops than any other section in the
East and possibly as many as Cali
foruia. That there is no section
w here greater advantages are offer
ed for stock raising than here aud
that Southwest Georgia is destin
ed to be the premier cattle raising
country in America. That for the
actual labor and money expended
more can be made here thau else
where, All these facts you may
tell and keep within the bounds.
