TOO LAX, SAYS THIS JUDGE

Atlanta. Ga.-Declaring that just
anybody can come to the courts in
Georgia and secure a divorce and
that ii is just a waste OF time to go
through the formula of hearing them
Judge John T. Pendleton, at the re-
cent session of the divorce court in
Fulton county, scored the ease with
which the matrimonial bonds are
strickenoff. He called attention to
the fact that the divorce dockets for
the year show fully 700 cases, and
prophesied that next year there
would be 900
The defendant doesn't appear in
these cases. said the Judge. "We
hear only one side of the trouble, and
just anybody is able to secure d.
vorce it seems. Divorce laws are
useless when they are so lax"

ORCHARD NOTES

The past season has been the most
successful in the history of Georgia
or the production of fruits. We may
say that the 1918 crop was over 100
per cent Naturally. most of the
trees are somewhat weakened Add
to this the fact that the late rains
have started many trees in growth,
and the combined result is that many
trees are going into the winter bad
ly weakened. Unless some care is
taken, we may expect many dead
trees twelve months from this date.
Now is the time to get out those

conditions, nothing could be harder

Owing 10 the high price of spray
material, we advise that orchards
practically free from scale be left
alone until time for summer spray

very thick, we advise that one spray

FARMERS OBLIGATIONS

A Dawson business man who is also

go on in the same old way making
obligations due on October 1st, and
dumping the fail harvests on one end
of the scales all in lump, which
naturally, bears down the market val
lie. Bankers and men of large bust
ness interests have for years pursued
this course without SO much as sug-
costing a remedy for this Cutting of
the market-Dawson News.
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1918-11-22

The News thinks there should be
some reform here so the farmers
obligations would come due gradually.
The idea is one we'll worth consider
ing. To have to meet all their obliga-
tons at one time makes it hard on
the growers of cotton, corn and other
things. 1t means sacrifice very Of
ten when there should be none.

otic and gallant young American who
was anxious to serve his country.
His name appears on the service
flags Of both the First Baptist church
and the Methodist church as he had
been pupil in the Sunday School al

airplanes flying above him. He was
in fine health he said. This letteI
came to hand Feb. q and was quickly
followed by the telegram bringing
the news that has prostrated his
mother with grief and anxiety.
