T i'EANSy ORTA 1ON FOR THE PREACHERS. The Southern Railway Will Fpreaf ter Issue Interchangeable Per mits for OGergymen. Hereafter ministers of the gospel will not find it necessary to possess themselves of half a dozen clergy permits in order to travel over the railways of the Southern states at the reduced rates which are usually granted them. Beginning January 7, 190S, the Southern railway will become a member of the Southeastern clergy bureau. This 'bureau .co,ers all of the railway lines south of the Po tomac and Ohio rivers and east of the Mississippi river. Hereitofore the Southern railway has issued a clergy permit, good on ly on the lines of the Southern rail way, and it has been neee;ary for misisters to have two clergy books. After the first of the'y: r it will only be necessary for a minister to carry the Southeastern clergy book and he can ride on an;y of the 'les in the south, at 2 cents per uile. These clergy permits are issued by Mr. Joseph Richardson, chairman of the Southeastern clergy bureau, At lanta, Ga., and a charge of $1 is made to cover the cost of printing, ;posiage, etc. This arra: ement is quite a convenience to the minis:ers who- have much traveling to do. as it saves their carrying ;o many per -miits. Ganderbone's Deccember Forecast. (Copyright,1907 by C. H. Rieth.) December of the drifting snow -And yule-log blazing bright; December, when the cold winds blow Across the fields of white; When winter's ring is in the ground And the nights are clear and still, And the boys go belly-buster down The slick and shiny hill. December of the Christmas tree .A childhood's brighest dream;, Dece.' .r of the ecstacy Of hallowed Christmas e'en; When the 'last sveet lullaby is sung And- children's whispers egse, And the wee sweet stockings all are~ -strung Along the inantel-piece. December of the drum and horn And bundles slyly hid; December of the one great morn Of mornings for a kid; When the chimes of sweet and mel low bells Are welcoming the drawn, And the house rocks with the merry yells Of kids with nighties on. Deeeliber wa.s the ninth month in the old Ramon calendar, and its name is from decem (ten). When Julius Ceaser ..became Big Stick of the empire, the month contained but twenty-nine days. 'He 'added two, more-one more to make ready for Ohristmas, and another " recover from it. iChristmas gifts originated with the Greeks. Hene'e the saying, "Beware of the :Greeks bearing gift's." ;Sant'a Claus was invented 'by the toy mnaufacturers of Neurem burg, Germany, where the Teddy -Beams' came from. The motto for this month will be, "Shut the door!" Mr. Roosevelt ' an? Mr. 'Bryan will be the leading presidential candidates, and prohibi-' .tion will continue the burning issue. The liquor interests will build walls around Peoria, Ill., St. Louis, Louis ville and MWwaukee, and their war balloon will make daily observations of the movements of Mrs. Nation. The 'Anti Saloon League has con sented 'to let the Winter Solstice of this year begin at p. m. on the 22nd; but~ there must be no drinking, and every one must be in by Curfew. The 21st will be the 'shortest day in the year. This will be on Saturday, and if you are at church next day and stay for the sermon, you will notice that the 29nd is much longer. The m, will be full on the 19th, and the .sign of the zodiac for the month will be Capreiornus the Goat. This will make butter go up, and send kids to Sunday school. The old mill pond will freeze again, And every one will skate, The mollycoddle, modest swain, Will thither go with Kate. She'll slip in such a way that she Will see a brilliant star, And he will deeply blush to see How long her stockings are. The money scare will quiet down unhappy eireumstance-end money vill freq1uent or2'in thle poc-kets of our ants. The 'new cold cirs they're akirg now without "ITn Go d We rust."' will turn up in the hat at ral ditgh1 wi'll lo gd, but th1 : oli subscriber will i:lsist on pavin. up with wood. On the 2d, Speaker Cannon will 1 assemble at Washington, where he will re-elect himself and resume the t enactment of law in the presence of < the Democratic minority and other r onlookers. The final edition of the I president's message will be read, t Wall street will be given another I physic: and it v:ill be officially de cleared that this country cannot ex t-t half capital and half water. Mr. Fairbanks will take rufuge in < the dignity of the senate from his f cocktail persecutors, and several new : members will be taken into th ,:- I elusive club of multi r=ilionaire . \ongress assembled -ill take up 1 great public w-stions like the need of a. ne' =ederal building at Podunk and Coyote Center; the growing de mand for a more elastic- currency, and wh-y nobody will stay in the army at the generous inducement of $13 a morth and found-dead in the Phil lippines. Persons born under the - sign of Capricornus the Goat are great ora tors, thinkers! and teachers; self conscious and not meddlesome; good e story tellers, eat too much. have style and pride, talk too much, are distrustful, and can keep a secret( if males). They are selfii3h, and never get the hot end of it in an exchange of 'Christmas gifts. They continue to hang up their stockings wlen it is a hardship upon others to fill them. Girls born in Capricornus are hard to win, generally preferring a parrot to the stork. The want-wolf's wail will ride the blast Where poverty prevails; A few late laggard geese will pass With winter on their tails. 0 ' The sleigh will jingle up the road the lines around the whip, and George and Nellie, in the robes, will love's own honey sip. The sleigh will hit a 10 foot bank, and they'll go roll ing down, with Nellie's foot in Geor ge's face-and walk six miles to town, The new rules for farmers promul- t gated by the Farmhands' Union will go into effect on the 1st, viz: Far- a mers will provide automobiles for all , help, and will serve as chauffeurs; they will-eat at the second table, and i sleep in the hayloft; they will rise at 4, do the chores, and serve break- t fast to the hands in bed at 9; they. will provide a phonograph and the i urrent magazines; hands will sup- c ervise the farmwork from 11 to 12, 3 and from 2 till 3; the earnings of k the farm will be placed in a bucket i every Saturday and poared through t a ladder placed 'horizontally, with c the ends on two chairs; Iwhat goes through, the hands get-'-and what F stiks on the rungs goes to the far- e mer. t Santa Claus will make the usualt rounds on the night of t.he 24th. Men e will get cigras, neekwear and mus tache cups. Ladies will get the monl- 1 ey-which they would much rather j. ae. Children will get the stomach che and its complications. C And then comes January ill To plague us with some ancient bill As only January can Disturb the happiness of man. Then Leap Year dread shall come again with Nineteen Hundred Eight; when womankind of growing years and single upto date, will hit the mahelor 's plains trial-the unpro posing wretch-and make the worthy for awhile 'exceeding hard to ketch. c Fools and Wise Men-And Thanks giving Day- a Prosperity, Dec. 5.-Tuesday 's c Georgian 'had an editorial that b "struck'' us very* forcibly which ~ we take pleasure in giving to the a readers of The Herald and News. h A banker said a few days ago: "The farmer is a fool to hold his otton like he 'is doing.'' A little 3 later a big merchant said the farmer t was to blame for the panic in money f because he had not sold his cotton, t nd judging from what else they said, ~ the cotton grower is to blame for everything that has happened from t Wall street down.f Now we are willing to admit that more money would have been in cir- i mulation and more notes paid at the a bank if the entire hundred million h dollars worth of Georgia cotton alon' d had been turned loose and the money li going its rounds of duty, but let's see whether the farmer is a fool and to blame for everything because he wanta to g'et as much as he can for his eotiton. We find the labor union mnan work- N in for a set fig'ure; there is no ques tion raised as to paying it: he can lr;l\ 11 haint lI(. a-,.ks. ' mt. 1ii,co l hlnlcwr.

Is the banker a fool-well, ardly. Now let's ;'o into that merchant's tore a minute. We pick out $200 vortih of goods, and say: Mr. Mer ,hant. times have been pretty hard or the past sixty days; I can only ay you $175 for the goods." "We ave Out one price, sir; and it is "rked plainly on everything we sell. am .urp:ised you should l n ut it,'' replies t:he mnerchan .f That merchant may be perfectly ane. may hie nlot. But here are men in New York cho have contracts that pay them 13 ,ents for cotton for December de iverv. These men never see a bale f cotton from one week to another. hese men object because they can ot get from the farmer for S or 9 ents tAe staple they have contract d to d-liver at 13 cents. I= the far ner the fool? Now let's see. We happened to be at a fashion ible country place not so very long igo. Not far down the street was a ansion with beautiful ground'. Sud lenly the owner vacated it and Mr. 3lank, a New York cotton specula or moved in, paying $700 a month ent. The stable was not big nough, so another was rented near iy and $2,000 spent in altering it to uit his wishes for the little time he 'anted it. Thirteen 1:rses and a lozen or so carriages came out. Some hing like ten servants came, and inally his automobile that was of talian make and cost every penny ,f $12,000. The gentleman went into v ew York every morning to gather tp what he could from the.sweat of he brow and the already poverty of he man who grew the cotton, We were down in South Georgia ecently. A little shac- marks the Lme place where a fam y has strug -ed for years to extract enough cot on from the soil to keep body and oul together. The family grew and,. ith practically nlot educati.onal ad antages at hand, was compelled to row in ignorance. The oldest boy eame a man, a crude farmer. The spark of pride and manhood hat had lain dormant through the ears sought to' glow and burn in his reast. Finally he made a trip to a ity and saw what there was in :nowledge and enlightenment and is ambition gave him unrest. He ft the farm long enough in the win ers to prepare himself for a college ourse; borrowed the money with hich he paid his tuition 'and gave is note for it. He str'uggled through llege and gra'duate'd: then he tried o get a place in a law office, hoping o earn enough to pay back the mon y promptly, but no one seemed to 'ive him a chance. He taught school; -0!1 his way; finally married and has is own -little ones around him. How many Georgia boys have been ompelled to plod along in ignorance nd poverty through the years to ontribute the money that the spe ulator used for the purchase of the 12,000 automobile, the horses, the ervants and the luxuries he enjoy And now,. Mr. Banker, Mr. Mer' hant, Mr. Farmer, Mr.-/Speculator nd all-are not men fools as a rule hen they fail to do the thing that till contribute to our bank account? Lne we not inclined to count the man ut if he reaches a point where he an hold against the sto'rms of life? Life is short to the best of us. We re selfish and want to win all we an to our bank ace'ount, but let us ear in mind, Mr. Banker and Mr. ferhant, as we ride to our work in utomobiles that cost more than a alf dozen of some of the little farms aat give bread to the families of ur people, and we sit around a 'h-anksgiving dinner today-that ere are thousands of homes in our Pr state where there will be little imake for happiness because of overty, and where the roses and ie alone that will be found on your ble would have carpeted the bare Loor that has never seen a carpet, r given comfort to the sick and dy ig baby whose little spirit will 'fly way in the night because pneumonia as stolen in 'through the broken win ows and sought out the poorly clad ttle ones.
