 Should Do It Risht.-There's roinr to. ghs great Southern fair up. in New York this year between January 19 and 31. Of course Alabama IS to be: there showing them few Of the garden spot. products, and the whole state ought to take hold and do the thing uu right Talladesa Daily Home ..'s. Wishing Georgia Weli.--The state of Geor. gia is considering q seventy-million-dollar bond issue for the construction of good high. ways along its chief thoroughfares. If the proposition is adopted, it is to be hoped that Georgia will not suffer from the same sort of a gang in the highway department that Ala. bama has-F1orence Times .r
 A Matter of Marketing-A farmer can lose just as much money and lose it, just as quickly on cucumbers or some other farm product, providing there is no sale for that product, as he can on cotton. Along with plans for diverxification should go arrange. ments for marketing the crops produced.- Gadsden Journal.
 Individual Obligation.=-We do aoe know that there is any city ordinance requirins weeds to be cut, but there is a moral obli-, gatton resting apon every one to keep Am dalusia clean and healthful. Weeds. in rainy weather provide an ideal place for mos. quitoes to propagate Cut weeds and you render your city sefticc.-Andalusia Star.
 Alabamlahs Fortunate. Beyond any o,is5. tion Alabamians are fortunate. They get the choice things of the earth and generally they get them few weeks ahead of other people. They enjoy fine, cooling breezes in the sum. rner time and warm, genial sunshine in win- ter, part of the time anyhow, and they have but little excuse for complaining. If Ala. bama's motto ever is changed it might appro- priately be made to say:- Here we live and have the good things we need. ."--Anniston Star.
 Duty to the Outside--The some two hun. dred school boys and girls on the outside of the present city limits are entitled to an ed- ucation; but to enjoy it4they must pay some $40 each to get it. Why? Simply because the taxpayers on the inside, of the city limits have about all they can do to- take care of their own needs in providing public schools. Point: Do your part, Mir. Citizen and Prop erty Owner, on the outside; to have your neighborhood brought within tho corporate limits of the city of Huntsville and you'n enjoy the privilege and benefits of the free public school-Huntsville Times.
 Corn Crop Not Enc0uraging.-Reroets from various sections of the county indicate q poor prospect for corn crop. Viewed from distance the corn appears to have attained vigorous growth, yet! upon closer examina- tion it is found that the ears are dwarfed. the pollen from the tasselB which furnishes the fertilixing selement necessary for fha4pFOSs duction of grain has been very largely wash. ed off by the frequent rains, and itS is be- lieved that under these conditions anything like normal yield can not be reasonably hoped for. Considering this in connection with the comparatively small acreage devoted to this crop generally the prospect is not en. couraging.-Monfoe Journal. =
 The Useless Noise EviI.-Gadsden. small in comparison with many American cities; has this evil noise with which to contend. The use of cut-Onts and sirens on autonio- biles are among the things that might Do eliminated in our town. It is surprising that 80 many people should have utter disregard for the feelings of others, but it is true. In the downtown section and in the resi- dential section these disturbers of the peace make themselves unwelcome by useless noises in connection with the operation of their cars. Open cut-outs are forbidden within the corporate limits by municipal ordinance. Still they ard heard all too frequently. If sirens and whistles of all kinds are not forbidden they should be, and in this stand we will have the support of every quietloving and eonsiderate citizen.-Gadsden Times-News.
