No TerrOrs Now.
There was a time when age had
terrors for the woman who did not
marry and when to be an old maid
was to be the butt Of ridicule Of fools.
That time has passed. Instead of be-
ing an object of pity or scOrn, the old
maid is the subject Of envy and admir-
alton. She has her place in the world,
her interests in life, her missiOa to
humanity, and all that age brings her
is the boon Of greater freedom and
of wider liberty than is possible to
the young girl
seldom object
There was never a time in the
worlds history when age meant as lit
tie to women as IL does now, ana
that they appreciate this is shown by
the fact that you seldom hear the
subject discussed, or see a woman who
objects to telling how old she is. There
are so many more things Of interest
now than the fountain of perpetuai
youth that we've ceased to hunt for
it,
At any rate, we are all wise enough
TO know that nothing stops the clock
1t goes on ticking off birthdays, WheSsf-
er We lie about them or not, and the
only thing to do is to make the best OF
it. Time is only an enemy to woman
when she makes il so. When she ac-
Cepts it as a friend it brings her the
choicest blesinsgs Of life.

Family in Need.
He has been snatched away from
them. And now-what do they face?
With the overwhelming tragedy not
yet fully realized by them, the fam
lily Of Deputy Yancey has not thought
of this. Their sorrow for their loved
one browns out all else.
But life has it's toll which must be
paid There are eight children who
have to live, as well as a widow.
Their sole support has been taken
from them. And now-they face life's
problem.
Yancey's family was in straitened
circumstances at the time Of his
death. Sickness had invaded the
house and two Of the children are
now in a hospital
Already friends Of the dead man
are thinking of this. The Georgian
also has thought Of this.

care for the family whose head was
cut off while serving the people Of
Atlanta and Fulton County.

This newspaper has headed the list
with $25. The amount is small-not
commensurate in any manner with
the price paid by Yancey But its
smallness invites contributions from
other sources-from the public whom
Yancey served. The Georgian will
gladly receive these contributions and
see that they are put in the hands Of
