DON'T GET BIT.

We would impress q caution upon
our people, and especially upon
those who venture the fields and
woods for the luscious plum and
berries or who invade the Businesses
of the swamps in quest of the ideal
spot upon which to sit and lure the
fish from the purling streams
which add their trickling quota of
water to the wide, wide sea, that
this is the season for the deadly
rattle-snake, and that they must
avoid them.
The day was when we were some
snake-doctor," though now, since
the laws of the land have so changed
as to interfere with the manufacture
and distribution of the proper anti
dotes for the venom of these deadly
reptiles, we have no recommended
tons to make except that all fight
shy of them.

WHICH OR BOTH.

Does a town make a paper or
does paper make town? The
making is not onesided. Each is
essentially necessary to the other.
A good paper cannot be published
in q town that does not support it.
Any community can count, however
on as the editor and management Of
their paper giving them just as
good sheet as the support allows
His pride guarantees this. A good
paper is the best possible advertise
meht of the town and community
where it is published and it may b'
taken for granted that ii cannot b'
good if the people are not respon
sive to its spirit. Are you support
ing your paper as you should anC
as it deserves?

ARKANSAS "MEWSlNGS"

The man who won't listen to reason
is usually thinking the same thing
about you.
Mighty bad to fall by the waysIde,
but It's worse than bad to lie there
and holler, when you might rise and
run.
The lad who is always telling you
that banks are not safe is the same
fellow who never has anything to put
In them.
The summer dresses are to be tight
with loose effect. They must expect
them TO look like q girl who has had
too many cocktails.
Don't like that expression, "Prosper-
ity's just round the corner" Pros
perity has been cornered too many
times by a willful group Of watchful
walters.
Don't stop to measure happiness,
but II you do, don't worry when 1t

soul'll get 1t on the lonesome way

MADE IN GEORGIA WEEK.

Fitting indeed is the designation
OF Georgia Products Week, which IS
to be generally observed throughout
the state, wherein we are to consume
and encourage the consumption oil
the products OF our own soil, shops
and mines.
We would not appear selfish unto
our fellow states nor unto our neigh
Dor country. yet we would stress the
importance of loyalty to home and
to the patronage Of her every instr
tuition.
Georgia, the Empire State OF the
South, she whose head is lifted high
into the Cumberland mountains
wherein lie untold treasures in gold
coal, marble and the baser metals
and minerals for the digging, and
whose feet are dipped into the romp-
ing waters OF the Atlantic whose
turbulent tides cast up their fish Tor
the catcling-she whose broad ex-
panse embraces more acreage than
any other state except Texas and
whose every foot Of soil is abloOm
with beauty, progress and prosperity
deserves first Of all the patronage OF
her sons and daughters
Truly has it been said that in
Georgia you have but to tikcle the
soil and she laughs with harvest
Then, since we are possessed OF all
these resources many Of them as yet
but partially developed, why, oh why
should we garner our necessities
from foreign shores or even from
our sister states?
Look about your home. From
whence came your furniture that
makes it so comfortable? Why
should your dishes and receptacles
be marked from Pekin when Ill
Astounding plenty the raw material
for their makeup are at your door?
why Italian marble or Pennsylvania
granite as markers to our dead or as
monuments to the heroic living?
Whose cotton fields are these and
from whence comes the goods that
we wear? How many COWS browse
the numberless hills of this dear
state yet from whence comes the
leather in our shoes, harness, etc. ,?
| Whose dye-stuffs are there decay
ing rocks that lie pocketed in the
earth and which the Indians used
SO artistically and handed the idea
to our fathers, yet the use Of which
has been abandoned for those OF
foreign make? These, yea and
thousands Of other commodities are
ours, yet we gaze beyond them when
in need of just such. Is it right,
is it true loyalty or reasonable
philosophy?

Maybe you think the farmers are
