THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY.

1929
+ 1t seems to be a settled fact that
Americas will shortly lose Capt. H.
c. Bagley as citizen, he having vir-
tually accepted a very responsible
position as cashier of one of the
leading banks of Atlanta. Captain
Bagley has already disposed of his
beautiful home on Taylor street, to
Mr.. j. w. Sheffield and it is said
will assume the duties of his new
position in Atlanta January 1.
Marion Sims is building two very
pretty residences on his large and
desirable lot on Church street. And
Dame Rumor whispers that the lucky
owner will soon begin housekeeping
in one of them.
Cotton sold for Ola cents for

CITIZENS SHOULD
PLANT TREES

Man owes it to himself to see
that the street and roadside shade
tree is given its weil-earncd place
N the sun. This place has been
earned through service of CEN
turtles. Since time began, the
shade tree has been the changeless
and unfailing friend Of the human
race. It has graced earth with its
beauty, and to every generation
has given free Of its protective shell
ter. Beneath the trees friendly
boughs man has found refuge from
TIE blazing sun and the angry
storm.
We are reminded of the famous
lines that every good citizen should
remember:
What does he plant who plants
tree?
He plants, in sap and leaf and
wood,
In love of home and loyalty,
And far-cast thought Of civit
good
His blessing on the neighbor-
hood.
Then, why not plant a tree your
self? What finer thing can you do
FOR your neighborhood? What
finer legacy can you leave your
neighbors? To every human be-
ing the shade tree is a benefac-
tor; every community a blessing
and benediction.
Shade-giving is the one thing in
which the trees relations with man
have stood unchanged. All other
relationships of tree and man have
varied with the ages, for the uses
of wood have gone through
steady development with the prog
ress Of the race. Shade trees alone,
among the children of the forest,
have ever been constant.

1.-THE most progressive business men
of Southwestern Georgia. Hundreds
of friends here are reseving sincere
congratulations.
Dave Andrews is ready for house
keeping to the extent of possessing
one quilt. He was the lucky winner
last night of the exquisite quilt raf-
fled for the benefit of the public il
brary. But as no one seems disposed
to divide it with him, Mr.. Andrews
generously donated it to the library
again, and it will be sold from the
stage at the opera house next Fri
day night. Messrs. r. E. Lee and
James Taylor conducted the drawing
last night.
Zach Childers is spending today
delightfully."- over in Montgomery.
He told very few friends that he was

eyes MEN"; ARE YOU
CNE OF THEM?

One Of tie best slang phrase
ever invented IS "ycs-men." A
"yes-man" IS fellow VINO al
ways agrees with whatever is pro
posed, particularly when the pro-
posal is made by his boss or any
one else with whom he seeks to win
favor.
Around newspaper offices, an
editor picks up the latest edition
and comments, "Well, that's as
good a paper as we've had for
some time, don't you think 500"
The "yas-menp instantly nod
and chirp their agreement. Their
idea, Of course, Is to fatter the
editors vanity. Then, too, by
agreeing with whatever is sug-
gestea, the "yes-men' is relieved
of what he breads most Of gil
the agony Of doing his own think
ing, particularly reaching a per-
eonal decision along an original
liac Of thought.
There's a "yes-man" in every
Office, every factory, every social
gathering, every home.
You find thom in politics--tne
voter who votes straight ticket,
even though Satan happens to be
one Of the candidates, and the
legislator who can always be

Of least resistance. He is a men
tai loafer. So he rarely rises to
the top. The man with more
chance Of getting to the top is the
-a-darncd-sight-man." This
type is aggressive, has ideas of his
own personal conviction and is will
ing to work for them. Mentally
lazy ''yes-men" follow him gladly,
like sheep follow a leader,
Carried to extremes, the "not-
observation-disclosures" is a bull

opposed to everything suggested,

who, crawling out on the shore Of

YouCan't Fool MisterSanta Claus

And if you're always good and kind
And help someone each day,
Old Santa'll not forget you
When he starts out on his sleigh.
He'll stop and leave you lots of toys
Perhaps a gun and kite

And say your prayers at night.

It's coming fast and steady
So be careful what you're doing
And get your stockings ready.
