The Schley County News Friday, Sept. 10, 1909 No. 35 THE ONLY GEORGIA RAISED PRODUCT--THE DOG. As funny as this may sound, there is more truth than fun in it. An Exchange says: The average Georgia farmer buys canned and dried fruits--likewise canned and other dried goods. He gets up at the alarm of a Connecticutt clock, fastens his Chicago suspenders to his Detroit overalls, washes his face with Cincinnatti soap in a Philadelphia wash pan, sits down to a Grand Rapids table and eats Indiana hominy fried in St. Joseph lard, with bacon from Kansas City, and flour from Tennessee baked on a St. Louis stove. Then he puts a St. Louis bridle on a Missouri mule and plows a farm covered with an Ohio mortgage. When bedtime comes he reads a chapter from a Bible printed in Chicago, says a prayer that was written in Jerusalem, and crawls under a blanket made in New Jersey, only to be kept awake by a Georgia dog, which is about the only home raised product on the place.

Cheek and Battle as guards organized the county chain gang on last Monday morning. The commissioners have purchased six fine mules as well as all the necessary road machinery. The convict force to start with was very small, only having three, but it will require only a little time in order to increase this number to something like twenty or twenty five, this being the size gang the commissioners wish to work in this county. When everything gets in regular working order, there is no reason the good roads move in Schley should not receive the hearty support of all our citizens. Every man connected with this work has the interest of the county at heart. Our commissioners, especially, should receive unanimous support. Since there is practically no salary connected with their job, their work can only be rewarded by a manifest appreciation on the part of the people. Let no one get uneasy, but instead, let all ! be assured that this work is to be carried on as it properly should be. It will take time, of course, but with patience and co-operation the time is not far distant when all the roads of our county will be looked upon as one of our greatest heritages. end # 35
