It is lime to quit talking about hard times. In fact, with .cotton selling at 20 cents a pound and a fairly good crop made, we just na turally don’t believe it. Then think of the wonderful crops of corn, velvet beans, peas, potatoes, sugar cane, etc. Hard times? Hardly. —()eilla Star. It has been told in Hungary this summer that it was so hot that the ink run on the paper money, and now they are putting the money in the refrigerator to keep it. In America we put our money in the refrigerator in the summer and in the coal bin in the winter, but it melts away just the same. — Dawson News. A Chicago professor says !H)J per cent of the women are homely, and that is their skill ateamollage that gives the impression of beauty. It isn’t camouflage, but culinary skill that makes them beautiful to most men. There is more pulling power in one splendidly manipulated fry ing pan than in 17 cans of rouge. — Brantley County News. J. K. Simmons of the Nashville Herald inquires why it is that a local customer cannot purchase a can of Georgia cane syrup at a local grocery in Nashville. With apolo gies for our knowledge of the syrup business, we will advance the opinion that a better price is offer ed by “Shiners” than is offered by the groeerman and the customers are about as many, —Coffee County Progress. The world has come largely to judge a man by what he is and does, and not by what he professes and theehureh to which he belongs. Unfortunately, the churches do not make good men, any more than other organizations make good cit izens, nor unions guarantee good and honest workmen. The man himself, in every instance, is the measure or standard by which to judge. —Metter Advertiser. The coterie of splendid Georgia women who met in Atlanta last week and passed resolutions on lynchings and the crimes t h a t bring it about, may be in the right church, but thevjust got m the wrong pew. That is bne of the great problems that man, and man alone, must solve so long as the chiavlry of manhood and the'lionor of womanhood exist. So, please stand back ladies. —Thomasville Press. Every community has men, of whom some are assets and some are liabilities. In the latter class is the fellow who doesn’t think mud) of his town —who believes it is already as much of a town as it will ever be, and who thinks of moving to someother place. Well encourage him to go if you happen to have one of that sort in your town. You won’t miss him, and the other town can pass him along when it finds him out. —Albany Herald. Mr. Farmer, think a long time before you consider any plan next year that will lead you away from crop diversification. Just bear in mind that the price of cotton is raising these days because the acre age in food crops was enormously increased. An all-cotton system kept the south poor for a genera tion. and just one year of the old system now would put skids under all our hopes, and bring our noses to the grindstone. A normal cot ton crop next year probably will be needed, but a bumper crop would —well, it would make us ‘bump the bumps’ all right! —Al bany Herald. 686 cures a Cold quickly. Sunsets In September. Have you missed them? Surely not. For a week or more it has been a glorious spectacle—these sunsets in September. The days have been hot and wearying. But iiow the memory of the distressing heat of the midday has been swept away when the eventide has come and the glow of the sinking sun has filled all the world with beau ty. We have greatly enjoyed observ ing how these sunsets have im pressed the people we have seen in these recent days. There was a street car in the late afternoon with its load of weary workers and from out the windows here and there were beautiful faces lighted with the glow that came to them as they lost themselves in perfect worship of Hie beauty of the great picture there in the heavens; and the little child there on the side walk standing in perfect forgetful ness of the companions in their en gaging game, rolled her big blue eyes from one peak to another of the entrancing sight she beheld; and there ou the porch that looked out towards the West an elderly and enfeebled man feasting his meaningful eyes upon that panora ma which beckoned him on to the Land that is fairer than day. We thank God that we can see so much of beauty as is found in one glorious sunset. We find our selves praying. Anything that causes us to pray is good for us. Let us not be unmindful of the sunsets —these wonderful Septem ber sunsets. For, if we observe the sunset we will observe the evening star and likely we will pray with Tennyson that, when that last sunset comes and we shall cross the bar, we may meet our Pilot face to face and bo at Home with Him. —Christian Index. Must Pay Poll Tax. Women in Atkinson county who wish to get their names on the registration books and become le gal voters will have to pay a poll tax this fall. Under a law passed by the Geor gia legislature at its recent session women as well as men will here after be required to pay a poll tax annually. All women between the ages of 21 and GO years come under the new law. The poll tax in Georgia is $1 a year and is applied solely to education.

Disqualification of voters for the non-payment of poll tax and other taxes does not occur until April 10, but those in arrears from Dec. 20 will have their names removed iroin the registration lists, and when the next election is to take place will have to register and pay their taxes six months in advance. Rub-My-Tism kills infection Befitting Definition. The Egotist is Hie fellow that thinks there are jnst twelve preach ers and that he is a dozen of them; that there an) six great editors and he is a half dozen of them; that he is enough deacons to run tw'o churches, and that all the districts in Hie eouuty should come under one school director anil that he and he alone can be that one director. He thinks if it were not for him the pulpit would be a fail ure, the churches go to the bow wows and the world would grow up in ignorance. That when he dies Solomon will have no successor the lamp of wisdom will be blown out and the embodiment "of know ledge will sleep in the cold, cold grave.—Exchange.

Ocilla is to have a “Pay up week” the first week in October. The motto is pay your creditor, if not all then a part of what you owe, so your creditor can pay his creditor, and so on to the ’steenth degree. 11 will be fine.

Representative citizens of Doug las have added S7OO to the reward fund for the apperhension aud con viction of the parties engaged in wrecking the trains on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic road — not only destroying the road’s pro perty but taking the lives of inno cent people.
