was objection to this procedure, how
ever, and he then resigned the office

being named without another ballot
being taken. S. H. McCrory moved
that another ballot be cast for the Of

the overwhelming election of Culver

vestigate. At the same time Mr..
Ward, an Albany travelling salesman,
drove up and the ito made an unsuc-
cessful effort to lift the car from the
injured man. The assistance of con-
victs who were working several hun
dred yards away on the Randolph side
OF the creek was obtained and Mr..
Wright was rescued in an unconscious
and dying condition.
Neither Mr.. Grimes nor Mr.. Ward
knew who the injured man was nor
where he lived, and placed him in
the latter's car and started toward
Dawson. They had come but two
miles when Mr. Wright died without
regalning consciousness.
The body was brought to an under
taking establishment at Dawson,
where the deceased was identified by
friends. News of the unfortunate acct
dent was telephoned to Shellman, and
the remains were removed there to
the home of the deceased.
Mr.. Wright came to Shellman from
Texas about fifteen years ago and for
several years had operated a garage,
two tank wagons and a filling station.

A Little Courtesy Will Be Time and
Effort Well Spent

Give the passing tourist good inn
preston and he will come back.
Dawson and other cities may ex-
pect to attract the interest of many
tourists, as already has been the case.
Make them feel at home. Courtesy is
a cheap little thing of great value 1t
will prove a more potential factor in
selling him (the tourist the town
and making him prospective resident
than any of our material assets, at
tractive though many of them un-
doubtedly are.
Most of our impressions of individ-
ualS and OF communities, as one Geor-
gia editor has pointed out, is due to
little things, for as matter of fact it
is the little things of life which are
the truest indexes to human charac-
ter.
Dawson and many other Georgia
towns and cities, with everything to
commend them and with fewer draw
backs than most towns of their size
in the east, should add largely to their
population, their industrial and COM
mercial life through the rush to the
south.

amount of his scciegy, and just what
eort Of a line Of conversation THEY
are able to carry. He may be able to
hold a wonderful line of conversation
with somebody else-and SO might
she. but if they have nothing Of inter.
est tn saw to each other, the natural
outcome is boredom. If You find your
self bored with his company before
marriage, you should be warned in
time.
There are many tests you might
annIv to ascertain whether or not You
really love him. To begin with, if
Won think more tenderly of him when
he is away than you do when he is
with YOU, you do not find him really
svmpathetic and congenial when he is
with you.
If, on the other hand, you believe
Yourself in love with him when he
Is with YOU, and doubt your love when
YOU are away from him, he has a
nhvsical fascination only. YoO do not
love him with love that will last
What are your reactions to his con-
versation? Can you listen forever
while he tells you how much he loves
YOU, and how wonderful you are? You
aren't bored then, are you? But when
he switches the conversation to HIM
self, and tells you how wonderful HE
is. are you bored then? If you are,
YOU merely like him. 1t takes love
and lots of it, for a woman to want
to hear everything man thinks
about himself.
Do you worry about him when it
rains-and wonder if ne will keep his
feet dry? Do you wonder if he is
working too hard Then, you love
him. In your heart you regard him
as your property there need be
no doubt in your mind about your
I sentiment for him.
But the acid test - the test that
+ proves beyond doubc that you have
picked him out for a fireside compan-
ion. for life-is when you prefer
spending an evening at home with the
man to having him take you out
4 somewhere.
Perhaps these pointers may be Of
value to YOU in reading your own

As yet the county superintendent

is paid for in cash from a fund &C
cumulated from proceeds from school
entertainments. The Westby COM

comes to enthusiastic support Of
school projects. Last year they put
in a $4,000 basement with funds from

TO THE DOUBTFUL GIRL
Dear Miss Flo:
7 am engaged to be married TO
,7eo.,7 fine Young man. He is very
clever. and has all the me quallIIle.S
that are considered most essehIIaii III
matrimony. But here IS my tfouOlI,
When I am with him for any lenSL,il
of time, he begins to bore me. doli I
know whether it is my fault or MS
but the fact remains that there are
times when l am frightened TO deaCfi
when think of marrying MN anu anu
spending the rest Of my life with hllli'
Then. if he is away from me any
length of time [ get so lonely Tor nm
can't hardly wait until he returns.
Do YOU think | love him? Can you
tell me of some method by which l
might determine my real sentiments
for him? [ don't know whether 70
give him up or not. What d0 you
think? -lsaOel'
doubt very much that you love
the man-although the statement Cha'
he possesses all the fine qualities SO
essential in matrimony would lead me
to- think that you do. only people III
love believe that Of their chosen mate
I can't see how you can love a man
who bores you. Possibly you admire
all the splendid qualities he possesses
{ but there is a world of difference be-
tween admiration and love-althougif
admiration and liking are fine suostl
tutes for love.
If he bores you, my advice to yot
is not to marry him, regardless CT his
/ fine qualities. Boredom is the curse
of matrimony. 1t is why husbands
and wives stray from their Preside
to somebody else's. It is impossible
to picture a happy fireside with mar
and woman who are so tired of eacf
other that they yawn in each other''
/ faces.
The ideal home is the one in which
a husband and wife never talk out
or if they do, they find a congenialit!
of spirit which enables them to ST
quietly without saying word-ccn
tent to be in each others company.
The first thing a girl should ascer
tain about a prospective husband l!
lust how she reacts to an unlimited
