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.

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.
