is expected
There IS a certain N. p. living near
here who made an extremely poor
crop and got up the rep" of being
a good doctor but q poor farmer.
This year he has gone to the other
extreme. He has a fine crop and has
redeemed his reputation as a farmer.
He says the reason he makes a
better crop this year without guano
than he ever made before with guano
is that he is giving same his personal
attention. If his crop turns out as
we'll as it now promises he viii be
able to buy bonds and viii also need
to patronize the bonded warehouse.
The farmers Of this nctghborhooa
have Joined the Farm Bureau and
elected officers for 3 LEGAL club. These
farmers believe in cooperation and
are looking forward to better meth
DDS in marketing crops and buying
guanO and machinery. Thaleaa club

Mrs. Parker had been IN failing
health since November Of last year,
but her condition was not regarded
as critical unt% Friday Of last week,
when nervous collapse resulted
from a continued weakness from
which she never rallied
She was member of the Meth
odist church. and was an active work
or in the congregation OF her church,
at Leslie. where she was reared. She
wa widely known for her great
kindness of heart and warm sympa-
thies for those in unfortunate cir
cumstances, and her home was ever
open to her friends, with whom she
constantly surrounded herself. A sad
incident connected with her death
IS that she leaves little son of 4
years who has been afflicted since
his birth with a throat trouble, for
which he has had several operations

BOSTON HAS
ANOTHER TEAPARTY

At the last regular meeting Of the
City Council. Boston withdrew from
the Municipal League of Georgia,
that organization of a small handful
of men that are trying to saddle on
the people of our state the greatest
curse ever thrust on them. In such
legislation the taxpayers have to
foot the bill. 1t cost the city $500
per year to belong to this municipal
league and we believe the city IA
theirs acted wisely when they refused
to send in their membership fee for
the year 1921.
If the city council of Boston has
any funds to throw away we would
much prefer that they give such
funds to their present mayor to de
fray cigar bills, ice cream sodas. ba-
mana splits and such. The cigars he
would smoke himself and the ice
cream sodas, banana splits, nut sun
daes, etc. he could use to try and
keep the lady voters in a good humor
until the next election. --Bostonian

wonderful work in this line. The
schools of Georgia are greatly in
need of trained teachers. Fifty per
cents of the teachers who are en-
plcyeG in the common schools Of
Georgia have only a grammar school
education and 30 per cent have only
a high school education. Georgia is
far behind other states IN this mat
ter and no great progress can be
made along this line until the people
Of Georgia wake up to the great I'M
portance of fitting the schools with
teachers who are competent to carry
on their work
For many years the State Normal
school has been training teachers for
the schools Of Georgia. During the
rast year it has suffered very much
because of the severe financial crisis
that has overwhelmed it. However
the LOYAL teachers never failed to per
form their duty, and the accomplish
ment for the past year is as great
or greater than in former years.

Lions Hear Brief Talk
On Recreation Facili-
ties Here

The Lions Club of Americas cele-
brated their second IldIe night
since their charter presentation celc-
bration at the Tea Room Wednesday
night with nearly a hundred mem
bers, ladies and guests present. The
master of ceremonies, whose duty II
had been to arrange the program, was
SANITARY Bond. The program con-
sisted of music and fun, with a brief
talk by Lovelace Eve on recreatlonal
needs of Americas. The program
numbers were sandWiChed between
courses of a splendid fried chicken
dinner, so bountifully served that
large platters Of chicken remained
after all had been satisfied, The en-
tertainers included Miss Katherine
Sanborn, who won the Lions club
medal for recitation in the Americas
High school, she reciting her winning
selection, "The Sioux Chiefs Daugh-
ter; Miss Blanche Snider, who
sang, and Miss Sarah Poole, who gave
a piano solo and accompanied Miss
Snider.
Mr.. Eve presented the thought that
Americas had three recreational
needs, one of which had already been
supplied, another Of which was in the
process of being supplied, and a third
of which probably would come. The
first of these was the playground, for
the children, he said The second
was the country club, organization
of which had just been undertaken,
and the third, a municipal or public
golf course where everyone might
play without the expenses of dues
and costly assessments for upkeep.
He said he believed this would be
realized in another year.
