The poor editor was dying, but when the
doctor placed his ear to the patients heart
and muttered sadly: "Poor fellow, circulation
almost gone" the editor raised himself and
gasped: E"Tis false; we have the largest circu
laton of any pOper in the county," then
sank back upon his pillow, with triumphant
smile upon his face. He was consistent to the
end-lying about his circuatiOn.-Ex.

Prohibition in Georgia is all to the good
We have an abiding faith in it's ultimate sue
cess.
Near beer is performing it's function in the
grand scheme that is being directed by divine
hand, just as local option did. Local option made
the state wide law possible, and the near beer
traffic will make the blind tigers (the great bug
bear of prOhibition) impossible, and provide
temporarily, comparatively harmless substitute
for whiskey and brandy in the communities where
the prohibition sentiment lacks strength and or
ganization.
The proposed law naming 1-2% of alcohol
the limit in all beverages under the state pro.
hibtion law and fixing 5000 tax on the the sale
of beverages with even a trace of alcohol is exact
ly what we need. We hope the bill will become a
law at the present session,
