Newspaper .Sokes
Some people have an idea that a country
newspaper should contain nothing much
besides jokes and funny sayings.
No joke is fit to publish unless a large
proportion of the readers understand it.
We newspaper men a’.l love fun, and rarely
ever fail to publish anything cf local nature
that is amusing, unless there are good
reasons for withholding it.
We country scribes enjoy fun belter than
most people, because wc see so little, end
invite our friends to help us keep up with
the times in each neighborhood.

DO WE NEED THE FARMER?
The Macon Evening Mews -says-; “T Ire
agricultural interest depends upon the
prosperity of 1 the industrial:. ,T
The Atlanta Journal says: “Accord¬
ing to the above it will be. observed teat
we do not need the farmer in Georgia
The towns support the country, There¬
fore the less “ccwutry” we have to draw
sustenance from the towns, the greater toe
prosperity of the towns will be. The eld
idea that the farmer is the mainstay (a
Georgia seems to be a mistake. It is won¬
derful bow enlightened we are becoming.
This new doctrine that tbo iarmer depends

remarkable family of brotheis who were
so smart that they could make two dollars
a day apiece trading old clothes with each
other.”
