BETTER ROADS FOR
GEORGIA IS SLOGAN
Of AUTOMOBILE CLUB

Mr.. Mooring, who is organizing a
section Of the State Automobile As
ISOLATION here, is very enthusiastic
good road" booster. Mr.. Mooring
states:
State automobile associations such
as the one now being organized in
Georgia, have done wonders for other
states. H. F. Hermance, formerly a
member of the California State Auto
mobile Association, a newcomer to
Georgia and already an enthusiastic
member of the Georgia State Auto
mobile Association, is authority for
the statement that the California as
ISOLATION succeeded in working up
such sentiment for good roads in
California, that that state was en-
abled to expend $1S000,000 upon good
road construction within a period of
two years. These were high-class,
permanent 12-month roads, says Mr.
n
was that the whole state rose up as a
man and demanded good roads and
was willing to pay for it. In actual
dollars and cents, he says, this money
was the best investment ever made in
California
"Ii 3agine what two permanently
paved highways, good in all kinds of
weather the year round, running
across the state each vagina CINE
what two such highways as begin
ners would do for Georgia"
Mr.. Mooring hopes to have COM
plete membership of the local club
by Thursday night and has called a
meeting of all subscribers at 8 P M.

IDEA JUST SUITED DR.. HALE
Famous Minister Declares That He
Had Always Wanted His Church
Called 1.-THE Exeter Club"

The sexton of Edward Everett Hale's
church suffered from that convenient
form Of deafness that prevented
man from hearing what he does not
wish to hear and enables him to hear
what he does wish to hear. OCCa-
sionally. when sweeping the sidewalk
In front Of the church, some stranger
would ask him for information, and
his usual answer was a wave Of the
hand. I'm totally deaf, totally deaf.
You will have to ask someone in the
church"
1t often happened that Doctor Hale,
In the midst Of a busy day, would find
the luncheon hour at hand and an
important appointment still unmet.
1t was his custom TO invite his caller
into his study, and ask the janitress
to make an oyster stew. The sexton
resented Doctor Hale's lnformality.
The time came for new sign to be
placed on the front of the church, and
Doctor Hale and the assistant pastor
were standing In the veStry aisle dis
cussing just what the wording OF It
should be. To their surprise the con
verSation was suddenly interrupted by
the deaf sexton who stood far enough
away to make doubtful the ability OF
normal persons overhearing what
had been said. "rll tell you what to
put on that signv he exclaimed,
"'Come in! Everybody welcome!
Meals served at all hours of the day
and night ="
"All right" said Doctor Hale quick
ly. That's what we will do. I've al
ways wanted to call the church The
