And he shall be like tree plant

bringeth forth its fruits in its
season, whose leaf also does not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth
shall prosper. The wicked are
not so: but are like the chat
which the wind driveth away,
therefore the wicked shall not
stand in the Judgment, nor sim
ners in the congregation of the
righteous; for Jehovah knoweth
the way of the righteous, but
the way of the wicked shall per-

cause he heard the voice of my
supplication, Jehovah is my
strength and my shield. My
heart hath trusteth in him, and

greatly rejoiceth. And with my
song will Ipraise his name above

A Wedding.

On last Saturday morning we'd.

Mr.. Lee County Journal married
Miss Cuthbert Leader
Miss Weekly Rambler was flower
girl and Master Pruett's Weekly
Journal was Ring Bearer. Mr.. Al
bany Herald was best man. Miss
es Douglas Enterprise, Triton Ga
zette, Telfair Enterprise, and Daw-
son News were bridesmaids.
After the wedding the Groom
took them all to Dinner and had
ink, Type and paper to eat.
We have been accused locally, Of
helping the boy with his paper, but
this accusation is as unjust to our
self as to him. We allow him to
publish his paper for its educational
feature, and would have it discon-
tinued rather than have him par
ticipate in deception.

OLD PROPHECY FOUND HERE

Mother SYMPTOMS remarkable
predictions have come true with
one exception.
The following remarkable proph-
ecy, known as Mother Symptoms
Prophecy" is especially appropri-
ate at this time when wonders
which the ordinary man never
dreamed Of are coming to pass
The poem predicts the submarine,
the wireless, the automobile, etc.
It was first published III 1883 and
republished in 1911. All Of the
events predicted, except the one
mentioned in the last two lines,
have come to pass:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling Of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root Of tree,
Through hills man shall ride.
And no horse or ass al his side.
Under water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
AS easy as q wooden boat.
Gold shall he found, and found
In land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

HUNDREDS OF BOIL WEEVIL
ATTACKING SMALL COTTON

Thomasville, April 49, Farmers
through this section Of the state are
alarmed over the unusual activities
Of the boil weevil, which is appear
ing in cotton in increasing numbers.
They had not expected the weeyil
to appear for some time yet. As a
rule they do not appear until the
small terminal bud at the top has
formed,
Examination Of fields in Lowndes
county yesterday found the weevll
ut work ON the small leaves of cot
ton plants about two inches high
Leaves harboring weevils were
found to be slightly turned and
curIed with the weeYil on the under
side. One small field Of three acres
had in it over 100 weevils.
wEEvIIs AHEAD OF TIME
The state department of entomol'
ogy at its experiment station just
out Of Valdosta has large wire
cage in which 10000 weevils were
placed last fall before frost. In
this cage were placed natural hiber-
Mating refugees. These weevils have
Just begun to come out of winter
quarters at the rate Of one or two a
day, which would indicate clearly,
it is pointed out, that the weevils
found in the fields are much in adj
vance of a normal time.
In the vicinity Of Barwick Brooks
county, weevils have become so ac-
tive that several farmers have start
ed to plow up fields of cotton two
inches high. 1t it is their intention
to replant with corn and peanuts.
The early activity of the weeviis is
causing great concern to all those
who have planted cotton, especially
those who did not use early matur-
ing varieties.

The condition Of this country is
too serious to allow any person Of
doubtful intentions to circulate
among our farm labor. For the
past few weeks several persons Of
this character have been seen in
this county. One so called labor
recruiter has been arrested, and
there are others still at large.
Two strange men who profess to
be writing negro life insurance have
been at work here, and our negro
farm hands are beginning to move
northward again.
They may not be doing this, but
somebody is certainly working
among them, and for the purpose
Of crippling our farming operations:
we may wake up too late.
That the German interests have
been behind this movement all the
past fall and winter is certain. That
they are still at it has been proven.
Every plough hand they entice away
means a few more hungry mouths
next year. Let us all be on the
watch.

HE IS ONLY A PRINTER.

He is only a printer. =" Such
was the sneering remark of leader
in a circle of INTERCHANGEABLE
quality, says writer in the Centu-
ry Magazine. Who was the Earl of
Stanhope? He was only printer,
What were Prince Edward Will
liam and Prince Napoleon? Proud
to call themselves printers. The
car Of Russia, the crown prince Of
Russia and the Duke of Battenburg
were printers, and the emperor of
China worked in a private printing
office almost every day. William
Claxton, the father OF English litera-
ture, was a practical printer. What
were ] P Morris, N P Willis, James
Parker, Horace Greedy, Charles
Dickens, Benjamin Franklin, JAS
Buchanan, Simon Cameron, Schuy-
Ter Colfax? Printers all, and prac-
teal ones. Mark Twain, Amos ].
Cummings, Bret Harte, William
Dean HoweIls, Joel Chandler Har-
ris and Opie Reade were plain,
practical printers, as were Artemus
Ward, Petroleum V Nasty and Sut
Lovingood. Senator Plumb of
Kansas and James J Hogg, ex-
governor of Texas, were both prin-
tiers, and the leader of science and
philosophy in his day made it his
boast that he was jour" printer.
In fact, thousands of the most brill
liant minds in this country are to
be found in large cities and towns.
