An inch of rain seems to he a 1 "tit a foot long to the one who is caught in it without an um brella. A sage remarks that a city man never sees the sights at home until his rural relatives comes along and points them out. Atlanta’s depot question is not settled. They are about, to aban don the Madison Avenue site and commence work, on Waverly Place. Enforce the law, whether it be the game law, the liquor law or other laws. The law breaker needs to be discouraged and that’s u part of our business. The Georgia Baptist conven tion will mpet at Athens, Ua., Nov. 10. There are 200,000 Baptist in the state, Represen tatives will be there from every district in the state. The reunion of the confederate veterans met. in Augusta last Tuesday. Hundreds of these old heroes met in a happy hand shake. General C. A. Evans, commander for Georgia, was re elected. He has been command- er for the past ten years. “Come home, Welby!” This lone line appears daily in the Atlanta Journal, and comes from a broken hearted father and mother whose 17-vear-old botf has fled, to where, they do not know. The boy is very fond of music and carried a violin worth *1,500. __ ^ The prettiest, piece of road work done in the country lately, .says the Cobb County Courier, •was done near Austell last week. The place spoken of was that of ■changing the road and making a ■new one. At a cost of $80 the jnew machine made a road that wovld otherwise have cost $200. But the voters of Paulding say we’ll stick to the old law. See. A stranger from the far north has been watching the buying and selling of cotton here the past week. He went out and saw the cotton in the patch and was astonished. “Why,” says he, “I supposed a cotton boll was at. the very least as big as my hat. Nothing suprised me more than their size.” So it is, and the north’s view of the negro prob lem is just about this correct. As a whole, they know little of us correctly .--Cobb County Cour ier. JUDGED BY ITS PAPER. The hundreds of renders of The New Era that reside any distance from Dallas no doubt suppose that, there are only seven or eight stores in the town as they are compslled to juJge from the col umns of the paper and only see ing seven or eight advertisers think that, is tfye total and to to towns of more stores where they know competition—sharp and strong—is in force and realize that, it is to their personal bene fit to trade at such places. There are people in Paulding county who hardly know the size of the town, always going to other places to do tlieir trading because some of the merchants here never advertise their busi ness. A few weeks ago we published an article in which we outlined a ew of Dallas’ industries,stores, etc. Since people have been heard to say that they didn’t know Dallas had so many stores, adding that they thought Davis & Finch, J, F. Welch, Grillin, Spinks & Co., the Dallas Grocery Co., Dallas Hardware Co., Hay Hardware Co., and a few others were the only stores here. Friends of the public, the above are not all the stores in Dallas by a great, many. There are many more stores, large and small ones, that you never hear of. They never contribute one cent to advertising and let the home paper, that is read by thous ands, carry their announcements of bargains, etc., into the homes of those that do the trading. The merchants that advertise bring the people to Dallas to trade and of course when they get here they naturally .go where they have been invited, and you that, do not advertise get the nickel trade such as peanuts, thread,etc.,-because they have already bought their goods from the advertisers. Suppose that no merchant of Dallas advertised and urged' the people to come here to trade would not the public think this a dead town and go forty miles around to avoid smelling the car cass? It is fortunate that there are a few merchants here who can realize the advantage of adver tising, to say nothing of home pride, and keep the town going. The New Era lends all help she can to her advertisers and othersa« well, but naturally those that, do not announce themselves through her colnmns cannot ex pect as much as those who assist in maintaining the county paper, and at the same time arc richly rewarded for tlieir help. The New Era is an instrument through which you can herald your business to all parts of the rounty ai d surrounding country. The New Era has taken a stand for the upbuilding of the town and county and expects to hold on with a “bull dog’s tenacity.” We have endeavored to hold the .town together and are continual ly advancing some idea that would be beneficial if taken up and “sifted.” The home paper publishes FREE OF CHARGE, deaths in your family, marriages of your people, the arrival and depart ure of friends and relatives, notice of singings, qieetings, as sociations and everything of this class. The paper does a great many things for the public that is seldom thought of by the peo ple and little appreciated. Without a newspaper Dallas would hardly be known more than twenty miles away. Now, you can wonderfully ben efit yourself by inserting an ad. intiiepaperor subscribe for it if you aro not already a subscrib er. Or you can remain a notch on a stick and do nothing to en courage the printer nor contribute a penny for the material advance ment of the community in which you expect to live and die. MAY CHANGB TRACK. Mr. W. A. Vaughan, Jr., with a squad of meri, arrived in the city Tuesday evening to measure and survey a new route for the Southern Railway, beginning at a point near the first bridge about two miles south o' town and con necting at Pumpkinvine trestle, The object of the survey is to avoid the heavy grades and straighten the track eliminating the curve on Pumpkinvine bridge This change in the track of the Southern would be of much ben efit to Dallas as it would neces sarily move the track on the north side of town. Not a Sick Day Since. “I was taken severely sick with kidnev trouble. I tried all sorts of medicines, none of which relieved me. One day 1 saw an ail. of your Electric Bitters and determined to try that. After taking a few dases I felt relieved and soon thereafter was entirely cured, and have not seen a sick day since. Neighbors of mine have been cured of rheumatism, Neuralgia, Liver and Kidnev troubles and general debility.” This is what B. F. Bass, of Fre mont, N. O., writes. Only 50c, at A. J. Cooper Druggist. NORTH OEORaT/TCONFERENCE. The North Georgia Conference will meet at Grillin next AVed- nesday morning at 0 o’clock, Bishop Joseph S. Key will pre side.

The North Georgia Conference has -within its bounds 100,000 Methodists. 810 preachers are pastors in the conference. These preachers nre all members of the covference, and besides them there about 50 lay members. It would be an education to a young man to attend a session of this body. He should go and stay from roll call to the reading of the appointments. Each annual session lasts one week. A Scientific Discovery.
