We repeat in full

THIRTY YEARS AGO WE
| REMEMBER! When eggs were
three dozen for 25c; butter 10c
! a pound; milk was Sc a quart.
The butcher gave away liver,
and treated the kids with bo-
logna; the hired girl received SO
a week, and did the washing. Wo-
men did not powder and paint
lin public, smoke, vote, play
poker, or shake the shimmie. Men
wore boots, chewed tobacco, spit
on the side walk, and cussed.
Beer was sc and the lunch was
free. Laborers worked ten hours
a day and never went on a strike.
No tips were given to walters,
and the hat check CRATER was un-
known. A kerosense hanging
lamp and a stereoscope in the
parlor were luxuries, and Unguen-
tine was an infant. No one was
ever operated on for appendicitis
or bought glands. Microbes were
unheard of. Folks lived to
good old age and every year walk
ed miles to wish their friends a
Merry Xmas.
TODAY! Everybody rides in
automobiles, or flies; plays golf;
shoots craps; plays the piano with
their feet; goes to the movies
nightly; smokes cigarettes;
drinks Rukus Juice, and blames
the H. C. of l. on their neighbors;
never go to bed the same day
they get up, and think they are
having a H of a time. These
are the days of suffragetting,
profiteering, rent hogs, excess
taxes, and prohibition
But its a pretty good old world
after all, and We thank you for
our share of the good of 1928. At
the close of 1924, we hope you
will have missed all of the bad,
and had some of the good.
Isn't it pretty good ole
world, when you stop to thinl
of all the good times that cam
during the year? Of course
none of US escaped ALL tn
bad, nor do any of Us receive
ALL the good; but, year in anc
year out, when we have strucl
an average, we find the gooc
times outweigh the bad.
Life is what we make it. Tn,
happiest man is not the fellow
who made the most money, bu
the fellow who put his heart into
his work, laughed when success
came, met failure wit ha smile
was honest with himself and hi
neighbor, and sought every da,
to do something to add to tn,
happiness Of another.

"RUMORS," BUT NO
CANDIDATES

The only pronounced candidate
against Governor Walker for re-
election in Georgia seems to be
Mayor Walter Sims of Atlanta.
1t is true that President Geo.
H. Carswell Of the State Senate
and Speaker Cecil Neil of the
House of Representatives in At

tative Herschel Elders of Tattnall

able that if the president Of the

Sims may be set down as firm
offers for the Governorship. In
other words, they will probably
be in the race.

has not formally announced for
reelection, no one at least has
announced against him. And

The man who'll probably have
opposition for reelection is Com

three candidates are suggested,
