BEAUTIFUL RESOLUTIONS.

Robert J. Burdett's resolutions,
which are considered a gem of that
bright mind, are as follows:
Il hereby resolve that will live
honestly and walk uprightly before
God and man; | will keep my lips
sweet with words of kindness, my
heart pure with noble ideals, my
hands clean with honorable actions {.
l will keep my body sacred and my
soul free; | will strive to be rich in
love, strong in gentleness, untiring
III patience, abundant in hope; | will
serve my God by helping some of His
children; | will try always to be bet
ter than my word and more liberal
than my promise; every day | win
make the most of my time and the
best Of my self, and so be ready for
the opportunities which God daily
SENDS to those who are waiting for
them

the beautiful herd of Hereford cows
were in the lot just across the road.
AS | sat and took in the scenery
wondered if there was anyone else
who loved cattle and beautiful and
prosperous farms as did. But what
would we do with eleven hundred
acres? Why we can't keep forty
acres from washing away after every
heavy rain. | am firm advocate of
few acres to the family and trying
to build it up and improve it and
quit raising so much cotton. More
hogs, more corn; and that makes me
think that two Berkshire hog breed
ers were in the party going out to
the Anderson farm, Mr.. Fowler and
Mr.. Cole, of Marietta who have
made a success of hog raising and
always have young stock for sale.
Why can't other farmers do likewise
and quit so much cotton. Your farm
is growing poorer every day and YOU
know that only short time till debt
will overtake you, then mortgaged
home, old age creeps on, health gone,
home sold, going to live with the
children, no one wants you, a burden
in old age. Turn to the right, get
busy, work more patches, don't let
the garden grow up in weeds, live at
home; the town never has had for
sale and never will the good plain
food you can raise on your own land.
| am preaching just what l practice.
But it takes work, yes, hard work,
to accomplish this, but just keep it
up. Nothing was ever accomplished

hard times and the low price of cot

resources. Nothing in this exhibit
ton is intended to advertise any pri-
vate enterprise, but the purpose is
solely to exhibit, as we'll as may be
n this form, the State of Georgia as
:, really is. Perhaps nothing in hui
man experience is more unjust than
the verdict that condemns a whole
state or whole country, or a great
body of people, because of the fact

The Christian Science Monitor is
one of the great newspapers of the
country-great for the high stand
ard of it's policies, for the excellence
of it's various features, for the fair
ness of its editorial views. In some
respects it represents the highest
achievement in the newspaper field.
For these reasons, it was expected
that the Christian Science Monitor,
even though a Boston institution,
would be just to Georgia in any edt-
torial consideration of this state and
its affairs. It's attitude, however,
is so entirely different from that of
the other Boston papers and from
the opinion of the northern press in
general that the fact should be
brought before the people of Geoc-
gia for their edification and appre-
citation.
incidentally, the editorial repro
duced above indicates what a splen-
did opportunity there is ahead for
Georgia through the medium Of the
Seeing Georgia" film. 1t will be
an advertisement second to none,
and one calculated to help the state
in many ways. 1t will correct a
misleading impression, for one thing
and it will undoubtedly attract set
tiers to this state. If some of the
individual commercialism is elimi-
mated from the Seeing Georgia
film, and extra attention given the
state itself, the picture will possess
a greater value.
But the purpose of these remarks
is just to call attention to the fact
that there is at least one northern
newspaper-one Boston paper-so
far removed from prejudice as to be
able to understand Georgia's real
position, and to appreciate the fact

POINTS OF VIEW.

Announcement of President Will
sons engagement is the most inter-
esting news of the season.
Most people approve his choice
and consider that he is acting wise
~ in taking another wife.
Remember what a perfectly
charming woman his bride-eIect is
and that his cousin, Miss Bones, and
his daughter, Miss Margaret Will
son, first admired Mrs. Calf and cul-
tiyated her acquaintance.
1t is not as though the widowed
president had gone abroad seeking
solace in his loneliness. He contin-
ued to devote himself to affairs Of
state and did not mingle in society
at all after the death of his beloved
wife
Some bright editor insists that the
federation of women's clubs has it's
back up on account of Mr.. Wilson 9
consoling himself with another wife
so soon after his loss.
1t is undisputed that he was A
devoted husband and grieved deeply
over his loss but he is a Christian
and philosopher and the bright
eyed little widow was so congenial
and so compensating.
Who could blame her for wishing
TO win such a splendid man, even
if he had not been so exalted?
The fact that this charming little
widow has big jewelry store in
Washington instead of a candy shop.
like the widow Dunn of the musical
voice, is all in her favor. Especially
since, with all her wealth and beau
ty and social prominence she has
continued to be a widow for eight
years.
The daily papers are having pic
lures OF Mrs. Gait, accounts of her
visits, her engagement ring and her
clothes, all of which interests MS
every one.
Miss Margaret Wilson is away
from home a great deal and the
White House needs a hostess as much
as the president needs a wife. He is
still on "lifes meridian height" and
We all hope he may spend many hap
Ply years with his second wife.

titled Under Southern Skies" was n

most respects, but it was shock 20
