! These are the people who make life
worth living for all the rest of us, who
bring to it something which wealth
and work alone can never give and
wealth and work alone never get. They
are the only true ciyilizers in the whole
social body, They realize the cbliga-
ton which membership in the great
human family brings and they make
life richer, more sweet and more up
lifting for everyone who comes in con
tact with them and to whom their fine
and gentle influences reach.
If there is a class to which We can
apply the name of the nobility" it is
this class of quiet civilizers; persons
whose lives are often spent in remote
and inconspicuous places, but from
whom the light of idealism and hign
principles radiates with far-reaching
reflections.
Society rarely pays its debt to them
in pecuniary form. They are the, sery-
ants in the House of Life, but they get
their reward. for to them is given that
rare invisible something" which they
most need and which their lives are
Ispent in acquiring. To them is given,
also. the wealth Of genuine affection
and tributes Of deep appreciation from
all who t5uch upon their sphere ThanF

PRECIOUS STONES
IN GEORGIA SOIL

Diamonds were not even considered
i'll the list of Georgia products; dia-
monds, nor rubies, nor sapphires, nor
opals, nor amethyists, nor pearls
and yet
The bulletin by S. W. McCaIlie state
geologist, dealing with the mineral re-
sources Of Georgia, will tell you:
"A large variety of minerals suit
able for gems and other ornamental
.osjects and cabinet speciments has
been found in the state. No systemai
ic mining for gems, however, has been
carried on. and the fields have been
accidental or incidental to gold, cor
undum and other mining Nearly all
the minerals are found in the Pied
mont plateau and the Mountainous
section of the northeastern part Of
| the state. but a few, such as opal, chal-
cedony, jasper and agate. occur N
the coastal plain.
A visit to the really excellent exhib-
lit of the state department OF geolo-
q, en- the third floor O. the capitol,
will bring conviction that Georgia is
a state Of precious stones as well as
of cotton and cane syrup and 'possuln
and 'taters.
In one well-locked case a tremen-
dous amethyst, of a beautiful deep
purple, cut to glitter from a hundred
facets. confronts you All around il
are opals, garnets, pearls from tha
mountain stream, and a stone that is
very much like a ruby. There are
no diamonds on exhibition, but the
records of the state department Of
geology tell of the discovery of a mum
Der of these very precious stones.
Most OF the diamonds of Georgia
production were found in connection
with gold mining, particularly with
placer gold mining in the early days
Then it was that the miner looked
scrupulously at every pebble in his
pan as he washed it by the side of j
creek. It is likely that there are dia-
monds in the same localities, but the
present day methods of mining dc
not tend to easy discovery of the
rough stones. According to the re
port of the geologist, diamonds have
been found in the following counties
Hall, White, Habersham, Banks
Lumpkin, Dawson, Forsyth, Gwinnett
Cherokee Clayton, Barlow, HARRISON
Carroll, Paulding, Cobb and Twiggs
all of them having been reported to
have furnished enc or more stones
each.

The county is awakening, the people
are alert, they are farming along mod

bushels of corn was unheard of in the
county; in 1911 two boys grew over 100
bushels per acre; in 1912 three farmers
grew over 100, and in 1918 three again
went over 100, the highest record OF
the time being 141 bushels and 122
bushels per acre, but in spite of al
this progress, corporation farming is
oming'in to grow live stock, to develos
large plantations, to settle newcom-
