LOST MOUNTAIN.

February set about to break the
monotony and give us a variety of
weather. We are sure if the ground
hog shuck his head out the 2nd he
froze on the spot and will never re-
turn again.
The weather had been so mild
for several weeks the buds and flow
ers had begun to peep out. We saw
corn that nad sprouted, wheat, oats
and alfalfa was growing and looked
green. Friday blizzard came
rushing in cold! Whew! The mer-
curry started down, down, and kept
going, the thing wouldn't go any
other way until Saturday morning
it stopped at degrees above zero.
This was followed Sunday after
noon by another blizzard rain sleet
and snow the thermometer tumbled
down again and didn't stop until
it got to 6 above zero Monday morn
ing.
" y ibNNNN up tiiC "CdlIltl ItCOIuS
of the U. S. Weather Station here
to find how this compared with past
record for cold. In January 1912
the thermometer registered above
zero. In February 1905 it regis
tered zero that, being the lowest
ever reached at the station here.
We regret very much to lose our
County Demonstration w. ID. Hasty
Why is it Cobb County cant keep a
demonstration? The present one
tells us there is too much politics
in Cobb.
No doubt politics has hurt our
county. But it is time all were pull

counties will get ahead of us.
We learn if our county don't
want demonstration and put up
their part Of the money that Mr..
Campbell of Athens, will transfer
the 100000 coming from the Smith
Lever fund to another county.
We hope our board in charge will
not allow Cobb to lose this 5000. 90

NESBIT

On last Friday night the home
OF Col. r. c. Irwin was totally de-
stroyed by fire, most of the furnish
ings were saved, but there was no
insurance on the building. Mr..
Irwin was quite indisposed at tae
time of the fire.
Measles have been plentiful for
several days, but all who have had
them are convalescent and no new
cases are reported
Bad weather and measles broke
up the school at MT. Zion.
Go-To-Sunday School Day will
be observed here next Sunday and
Rev. B. F. PIN will fill mis- regular
appointments morning and night.
The recent cold did much damage
to all vegetables and grain crops
and will give every body an even
start in this line, turnip slad and
potlicker will be very much in de-
mand before there is any more.
$192.95. This amount was raised
by Mr.. c. NJ. Head for Thos. f. Wat
sons magazine, the weekly Jeffer-
sonian and his books. 60 sub
scriptions and $42.95 wortn of
books was secured with about two
days work altogether Mr.. Head
says that Watsons works are the
easiest publications that he knows
of to secure subscriptions for. A
mong those subscribing were bank
ers, lawyers doctors, preachers,
professors, merchants, manufac-
turers, farmers, capitalists and
business men.
Get busy and sell your surplus
in the home market.
The farmer who buys his onions
to eat should revise his schedule.
Too many bottles of evil booze.
Take the childrens socks and the
Wifes shoes.
A Sunday evening rain surely
does sour the disposition of the
young folks.
Let no favorable day pass in idle
ness, push the farm if you want it
to feed you wnen old.
There is not one day in all the
year that l don't find something of
intense interest in farm life.
Doting mother make lazy worth
less men by letting tie children
sleep late and play all day long.
That is all wrong. You cannot
force portland to produce good
crops if you throw away your ashes
and let the stable, hen house, lot
and pig-pen~ manure waste. The
gift of a spade, a rake and hoe
to the small child, instead of a toy
pistol, a drum or a velocipede makes
all the difference between good
useful citizen and a turbulent mis-
fit.
You can't make a good farm
hand out of natural born city bum
The good farm hand is born with
love of the country in his blood.

Jerome Crawley Dead

At Asylum No. 2 at St. Joseph
jerome Crawley, a patient for
nearly two years, died Tuesday
night.
His remains were brot to this
city Thursday and inferred in
this city cemetery, -Rev. Davis
conducting short services at the
cemetery.
jerome Crawley was the sec
ond son of Chapel B. Crawley
and Mrs. Adelaide Hardcastle
Crawley and was % years old
Dec. 1916. He is survived by
his father and brother Chappell
and sister Miss SalIie.
Perhaps there was never a
more promising boy than Jerome
Crawley, handsome, manly and
intellectual. There is little doubt
but that too close application to
his studies proved too much for
his mental faculties and about
three years ago he begun to
lose his grip on his intellect and
it was deemed best that he plac.
ed in a sanitarium for ministra.

Beer Limited

The newspaper report that an
order has been issued by English
authorities that not to exceed
ten million barrels of beer shall
be made in that country during
the next year. it being desired
to limit to the lowest possible
am ount the expense for the
necessity.
So far this is the only evidence
that the prime minister is in
clined to follow the lead Of the
prosecuting attorney for this
county but further evidence
that he reads the Courier and
intends to limit the amount of
beer per capita may be forth
coming any day. AS to red liqu-
or the prime minister so far has
ben silent, stopping short of
wholly commendible imitation.
