MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin 5. Cobb

A few years ago a friend of mine man
I had know from childhood, came up from
the South to stay week with me in New
York. Three of us, all old cronies of his but
all living in the North, met him at the train
At his suggestion we dropped into the cafe
of the Imperial hotel on Broadway Hotels
had cafes in those days, and our friend was
thirsty, he said. We lined up at the bar
facing genial gentleman in a white jacket
and white apron, and the newly-arrived
asked us what we were going to take.
Now it SO happened that at the moment all
three of us, for one reason or another, were
riding on the wel-known water wagon-a
circumstance of which he was not aware and
probably one which he had never dreamed
could be possible
He turned to me!
Whats it going to be-" he asked genia1Iy.
I said:
"a glass of buttermlk"
He gave start of surprise. But, like a
true Kentucky gentleman, he did not voice
his emotions. He turned to the second mem
Der of the group.
"And what do you take?" he INQUIRED
hopefully.
"Oh," said Number 2, "I don't want any
thing except plain lemonade"
His eyes widened as he waved his arm to-
ward the third man
And yours?' he inquired.
mine is a ginger ale,' was the answer.
Our friend faced front
Mr.. Barkeeper," he said I'm going to
be in the fashion while I'm in New York if it
Kills me. Give me quart of blueing."

There was frugal German who ran
delicatessen store in the Flatbush district of
Brooklyn. One evening newspaper man
who was living in the neighborhood dropped
IN to buy Camembert cheese and found the
proprietor absorbed in deep study.
Whats ailng you?" inquired the Gus
toner.
We'll" said the German, 81 got frient
named Felix vot has sent me an Invitation to
his golden Wedding, und now | hat got to
send him present. Und l hate it-gold is
so eXpensive!"
Must it be something in gold?"
Sure! Amt it a golden vedding?"
The patron went away, leaving the deli
catessen still thinking hard. The next night
when he passed the store again, the proprie-
tor was smiling broadly.
Il fixed it," he said; "und it didn't COST
SO much neither"
Did you send him something that was
gold?"
'Sure-for forty cents!"
What could you get that was gold for
forty cents?" inquired the other
"A glass globe nit zWei goldfish in it!"|

T-HE final word of the federal depart
/ ment of agriculture on the haryests of
1923 bears abundant cheer Their ag-
gregate value, at prices prevailing December
the first, is eight billion three hundred and
twsnty-three million dollars. That is enough,
in monetary terms, to build and fortify TWEEN
ty Panama canals; enough to liquidate the
greater part of the total Allied debt to the
United States; and enough to pay at least
one-fourth of the entire financial cost in
Cured by our nation In the World war A
country whose farms can produce so much
OF wealth and Of power within a single
sulness.
Moreover, the crop values of 1923 are
UPWARDS of eight hundred and seventy mill
lion dollars better than those of the proceed
Ing year. This is ascribable to enlarged
acreage, to improved yield and to increased
prices. Not only was more planted and more
produced, but more profitable markets also
were open to the farming rank and file. I'm
happy exceptions there were, it IS true, as
In the case of Western wheat growers; but
the rewards of agriculture as whole,
though not what they should have been,
were substantially enhanced. Further, the
general proportion between prices for what
the farmer has to sell and for what he has
to buy Is more equitable than in the
seasons Immediately following the economic
reaction from the war
That the year has been as good for agri-
ultural interests as it has, despite the worst
tariff in American history and the croakings
Of "agragrian politicians" we have to thank
not only a generous Nature and a benign
Providence, but also the thriftier manage
ment of the men on the SOIL Particularly

proved methods of cultivation and market

ADAGES
BY Il. AddingtOn Bruce

T may help you to get more out of Christ
mas for yourself and to make Christmas
mean more to others, if you begin the
day mindful of these adages culled from
the folk-wisdom of MANY lands and many
ages:
Men resemble the gods in nothing so
much as in doing good to their felow-crea-
lures.
Joy which we cannot share with others is
only half enjoyed.
To issue an invitation is to make our
selves responsible for our guests happiness
as long as he is under our roof
Good deeds remain all things else per-
sh.
1t is a sin against hospitality to open
your door and shut up your countenance.
That which is we'll done is twice done.
In courtesy rather pay penny too much
than too little.
The giver makes the gift precious.
A gift with kind countenance is a double
present.
The charitable give out at the door, and
God puts in at the window.
There is no grace in a gift that sticks
to the fingers.
Hearts alone buy hearts.
Kindness like grain increases by sowing.
Ye dinna ken whaur a blessing may light.
That action is best which produces the
greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Right beginning makes right ending.
A happy heart is better than q full purse.
capon with fear.
Great thoughts come from the heart.
The most wasted of all days is the day
when we have not laughed
He who laughs not in the morning laughs
not at noon.
Laughter makes good blood.
contented mind is a continual feast.
He who finds not love finds nothing
1t is better to misplace our sympathy on
nine unworthy persons than to deny aims
to one that is really in need.
mans conversation is the mirror Of his
thoughts.
If you are yeXed or angry you will have
two troubles instead of one.
No man is more than another unless he
does more than another
Be loying and you'll never amt for love.
A merry heart doth good like a medicine.
Provide for thy soul by doing good works.
Sow good works and thou shalt reap glad,
ness.

END in The Dahlonega Nugget

Won, whatever you call him, located in
Atlanta, predicted several days in advance,
that Thursday Of last week would be the
coolest day we had had in a long time.
That morning he said that it has missed u.s.
This we all knew, because UP here men
could have been comfortable in their shirt
sleeves had it not been raining. Bill Thomas,
who lives the hill above Wimpy's mill,
can tell more about the weather than this,
Some time back, while it was warm and
partly cloudy, we said to Bill: I'VE believe
it will be raining tomorrow" He replied
that cit will be clear and cold" And sure
enough it was Yet he gets nothing for his
valuable information.
1t is said that parents should teach their
children the way they should go. If so, SONG
parents have very poor judgment. We saw
a little boy the other day out on the street
standing looking up in the faces and listen
ing at two men talk. When they turned
this boy would also move round and con
tinue gazing and listening And when
look out else unload their AMBER in his
face and eyes. Now had the men not taken
this extra precaution and shot this boy right
in the face with a load Of AMBER and he
had gone home for a water treatment,
every one of his folks would have been mad
about it. Yet his parents would have been
the proper ones to blame for it.
Rev. G. W. Ash writes us as follows:
"You said the Adventist folks kept Satur-
day for the Sabbath and the most of the
folks do not keep Saturday nor Sunday.
They haul off cabbage, attend to business
by hiring hands, making trades and do on
Sunday like every day This is why we are
pestered with the boil weeyil, bean beetle
and all other pests, and so many men not
working up here in Yahoola, raised twenty
bales of cotton which brought $500. Bought
other things for their homes and live happy
While there is as much again land uncul-
t1vated that would make pea feed, potatoes
and other products. I agree with you that
here is just as good country as anywhere
II the people would use the time"
we were studying the other day about
what a member of the church told us some
years ago. He lived in Gainesville, but at
the time was doing carpenters work here
rms man said he used to run a dairy in
that city and had a contract to supply a.
summer hotel with milk for the season.
one day larger number of visitors came
IN than were expected. This caused the
dalryman to go out to those owning cows
and buy what milk he needed Then he
poured the water to it, as usual not think
ing OF the others from whom he purchased
1t. The keg and its contents were delivered
at the hotel with sanctified look The
next mOnrlnS the dairyman was sent for to,
come and get his key of water We are
taught that people will be Judged accordino
10 deeds done in the body causing us to
wonder what pleasures of this man who
mas gone on, will be cut off. There will be
a large number Of surplus crowns if thew

IN the Bank Of England? Do other English
banks pay The same rate? H. c.

gal rate Of interest, which is acceped as

varies according to conditions. Other banks
discount with the Bank Of England and.

Some may think strange when asked ''who
comes there" when they knock on our room
door after we have retired, because couples
very often come to get married, and we do
not want to appear any more in the pres
ence Of such a couple donned in our night
robe. We did this once and it is very en-
bawassing.
The people, as we have heretofore stated
several times, ask the Lord for too many
things at once. Take many of the ministers
as an illustration. They will pray long
prayer for everything they can think of and
then wind up by asking the Savior to "bless
US, save us and crown US" Now if saved
we'll.
We understand that a man in another
county, upon learning that a certain woman
in Lumpkin disappointed about getting
a mate recently, has mailed twenty dollars
and a letter to friend in the neighbOrhood
to present to this unmarried woman in case
she will have him, to pay her expenses in
reaching him, and to buy some extra rigging
to wear in order to look real handsome
when she arrives in his section.

beneath the skirt below the waist at the

burSted here at church, scattering the bran
from her seat on along the sidewalk on her
way home till the supply of bran was eX-
hausted. The accident got into the papers
and created so much laughter that all bus
ties, both store and home made, went out
of fashion, and the fair sex had to be con-
tent with their natural shape without the
use of any kind Of a pad.

to be what they think the other one wants them to be until they make the marriage ceremony nothing but gold brick transaction.
 Under such circumstances, pledging a couple to love, honor and cherish each other is like giving signed blahk check to stranger, who may bankrupt the trusting giver.
 Instead of trying to hide their real natures from each other before marriage, it should be a time of the fullest self-revelation for people.
 If there exists incompatibility of temperaments; if they hold differ ent beliefs, and look at life from different angle; if they have differ ent ideals and aspirations; if they even have different tastes in cook ing, and different God, instead of concealing it why don't they turn the spotlight on it and see that they were nevep destined for each other, and that they could never live together in peace and harmony?
 Before marriage is the time for people to lay all of their cards on the table, and call the game off before they have gambled away their happi- ness."
 These are true words, and worthy of serious consideration. Especially do commend them to the young, for it is true that most marriages are contracted on a basis of misrepresentation that would land the perpetrators in jail il they carried on any other business as crookedly.
 Take courtship, whose basis is a propaganda of lies.
 The young man who tells a girl that she is the most beautiful crea- tlre in the world, and that she has eyes like violets, and that\she is so different from all other women. doesn't believe a word of what he is saying. He has seen dozens of pret- tier girls, and she is twin sister to a score of other girls he knows, but he knows it makes a hit with her to make her believesthat she has hyp- n0tized him. So she marries him under the deluded belief that she has cast spell over him that makes him see her as she would like to be. in- stead of as she is. . Before marriage men are reckles about the way they spend money on . girl. They lavish presents on her. The, ride her around in taxies and cars They take her to high priced restaurant and cabarets. Often they spend fa more than they can afford. Alway they are liberal and generous, with th, result that after marriage many a wom on gets the shock of her life by findinl
