pied as it is possible for mortals to
become.
At one time gypsies, known by va
rious names in different counties,
numbered more than a million They
had their language, religious Gus
toms, and have furnished themes for
song and story by many great writer's.
They practiced sooth-saying and
thievery equally well, according to
authorized histories of the people and
were not regarded with special favor
anywhere. But today the romance
seems to have been taken out of their
lives, and there is not the interest
in them or in their fortune telling,
that was once manifested.
The fact of the business is, the
gypsy has lost his uniqueness and
claim for distinction through his
greediness and his hankering for good
American coin. Like a good many
Americans, he started in to "get the
money" and when he did so the peo-
pie began to lose interest until today

of suspicion are directed his way

sizes, but are as a rule modern and

Since the ice shortage of the past
week several Georgia towns are few
erishly organizing companies for the
manufacture of ice locally. An ice
factory is a good thing for most
Georgia towns at any time, but most
Georgia towns never see the need of
one until they get all het-up.-Con-
yers Times.
Few towns in the state so small
that they cannot profitably support
an ice factory, particularly if it also
does a coal business, which gives it
a year around average employment.

At a cost of less than five dollars
