A pony and auto came into col
lision in front of the Windsor Hotel
late yesterday afternoon but without
serious injury to either, fortunately.
An automobile, driven at moderate
speed by a, travelling man, a Mr.. Will
hanson, struck Roland Broadhurst' s
Shetland pony as the boy was rein
ing up in front of James Fricker &
Bros. store. The lad realizing his
danger, jumped from the pony and
escaped injury. The animal was
knocked down by the car, but the
driver brought to a full stop before
the wheels caught the little animal.
1t was close call for the little boy
and his pet as well.

The block, represented by the
group of counties in Southwest Geor-

Here the crops are better than in
any other section of the state, fact
that means mach to the business and
economic life of this section.
With this fact facing US, being
wary of an optimism too freely dis
played, isn't it about time to smile
little, talk better business and take
advantage of the fact that business
is better and will continue so.

FAME YOU DESERVE

THE world knows nothing about
its greatest men. Our greatest
are not stars who live by exhibition
of themselves and abilities, but quiet
people who think and work in modest
seclusion.
Walkley, brilliant dramatic critic
of the London Times, makes this OBJ
servation. 1t is true.
History will remember the great"
men who plunged the world into the
World War. History will paint in
bright colors the men who carried
on the work of destruction for more
than four years.
But history will be strangely silent
about a greater than these - the
plodders who now are patiently re-
pairing the damages, toiling to re-
build civilization burned out to its
very skeleton.
The men who really are repairing
the wars damages are not the
Prominent Gentlemen who get their
!. names in the newspaper headlines.
q The real builders are the farmers
4 toiling to restore food supply to nor
ANAL, the mechanics furnishing the
4 materials to replace what was de-
Z stroyed, and the un-advertised mil
4 lions contributing their daily mites
. to the war debt.
4 A peculiar thing, is fame. And
always it is unfair, the lucky indi-
vidual getting more than he deserves.
Watt is famous for inventing the
steam engine. Yet his discovery of
/ the principle would have been worth
less if it had not been for the I'M
known thousands who patiently had
worked out mechanical movements
and methods of converting iron ore
into steel. All Watt did was gath
er up these loose ends, put them to-
gether, add a new idea and march
into history with credit for the whole
thing.
= All famous men borrow" nine
tenths of their invention, skill or
art.
Men work with many things, from
farm soil to metals and chemical
magic. In proper combinations,
these bring fame.
But the greatest ~Saterial man
works with is man himself-his char
acter. And the greatest men are
the ones who emerge with the great
est character.
Character, by its example and con-
tagion, is the only thing a man can
build with permanence. 1t outlasts
the Pyramids.
And you, as you look back over
syour life, probably will agree that
the greatest person you ever met was
some individual who never rose
above obscurity. Yet he made a sue
cess of his life.
Fame is futile Crave it not. What
counts most is personal satisfaction
with what we have made of our
selves and our life's work. We leave
this world as we enter it-alone-
and in the last analysis each man is
his own hest iudpe.
These are mad dog days. They
may be mad over the price of bones.
Lots Of boys are made smart at
the top by being made to smart at
the hattnrn.
