C., dec. 17, 1931, deer mr. s. k. g.: wo have 4^ nice little town down here, but it is mighty hard to tell it from the country, AS the scholl house sets buck from the road, and our church, rehober, has no steeple on same, and oUr popper lation is only (M when our last senses was taken, and,/-i am glad to tell you about my friends. 1. . miss Jennie veeve smith and her twin sister, miss sallie veeve smith, are our teachers and evcrboddy exccjhp most of their pupils like ;them fine, they are both old tmaids and have decided to remain so, as their chances are too slim for hope. they are both colledge gradurates, 2..dr. early rizer is our only docS tor, and his wife is- named mrs. rizer, and she's his sccont one. dr. rizer started out to be a cow ropperdist, but decided that moreOpoor folks than rich folks wanted to be rubbed, so he turned over to medispn. his family is named billie and mftry by his first wife. 3..our policeman's rtume is jhon mosby Utul hfe Was bosned here, he does good work considering his salary. our preacher is rev. artie choak, and he has 1 wife and 8 offsprings to absorb his collections, the widow jones is our society leader as her husband left her insurance monney instead of land, our postmaster anecrs to the name of aleek green and he is a demercrat for. a wonder, and the balance of us is mostly ("larks ansoforth. 1 will close for this time, rite or foam. yores trulie, mike--('lark, rfd. ?-? Athens, Ga., Dec. 2, 1931. Dear Gee McGee: I have been reading your NOBODY'S BUSINESS for several years, and must say that Mike some of it. I have discovered that you can be serious occasionally., if you try. According to reports, you are n business man, so please tell _us w^cn you think business conditions will he bct&'r. Yours for the low-down, Harbin K. Green. Dear Mr. Green: everybody but mc lula propVu sied when good times will return it might not bo out of place to take a try at it and thus carry out your reque-t. here goes. 1. W'hon cotton goes to 12 cents or higher..s>. that the cotton farmn y,-p his product at a profit. ..time- will be bettor up North..as the Ml grower will have some money to spiral to help put indu-try hack work. 2. .Conditions will be better in the South wlu-n the western wheat grow,.r ls pa 3 a dollar a bushel for his wheat .so that he may have some money with which to buy cotton | goods and thus keep the cotton mills running on full time..and then cotton null labor will have plenty mon-| oy to spend for bread. 3 Hard-times w.U vamoo-e up Va<x when they find it possible to pav a r.asonable price for raw material-, to sell back to the producer at a profit when manufactured .am by >o 3ring. keep tnrr and. -hops running. la>w prices wi. r*nn :l count y quicker than any other scourge. 1. .The bonus "didn't help much. Building programs ke.-p mach.nery j busy and permits men to remain id.e. j Farm relief don't relieve. .Government. a.J aids the government when they get interest for it. A nice, long drought, or a nationwide crop pest to reduce production might help . .but the use of a r.ttie grey-matter by the masses would be worthwhile. We've got to consume twice as much as we produce for 3 years and then things will hum. Yours for the humming, Geo McGee. New Friendly Five Shoe* for Christmas Presents?Sheorn'a. To Present Play.

Then, instead of some short-lived trinket, fiow nuieli nicer to give something that will bring solace and delight for many days after the Christmas tree is gone; until the New N ear is on its wav. For the cigarette smoker, man or woman, of course give Camels. A blend of choice Turkish and mild, sun-ripened Domestic tobaccos, thev are kept fresh and prime bv the Camel Humidor Pack, with their natural moisture unimpaired by parching or toasting. In appropriate holiday wrapping,Camels v come both in attractive Christmas cartons containing ten packages of twenty and in cartons containing four boxes of fifty each. For the man who smokes a pipe, we suggest either a pound tin or one of those crystal glass hunmTors of good old PRINCf ALBERT. Here i- a present that j^oes straight as a Christina- carol lo a mans heart; P. A., the best loved pipe tobacco in the world, all dressed for the occasion in bright Christmas costume. What gift can you think of that will be more welcome or give more genuine pleasure and satisfaction? Don't you hope someone will think of such a friendly gift for you?
