GOOD INCREA5E.
We are informed that |the in
crease in tax returns for Jthis
vear over last is $167,1120.
This is a good showing and
demonstrates the fact that
Paulding county is enjoying real
and constantly increasing growth
and prosperity.
The people are generally in
bet ter condition and the returns
will doubtless prove glad tidings
to every tax payer in the county.
We notice from returns of
many other counties that taxa
ble property has greatly in
creased, which proves beyond a
shadow of a doubt that old Geor
gia is prospering as never before.
Truly, she is a grand country
—and we don’t wonder at her be
ing the Empire State of the
South.

Atlanta lias thrown her doors open

Florida has quarantined against

Toni Watson has bought a summer

The govert incut has taken charge

The hill Introduced by Representa
tive Beall to amend the charter of
Dallas passed the house last Satur
day.
If Dallas had a hoard of trade sin
might laud some of the hlg Industries
that are hunting locations in the
south.
It is a grand compliment to be
called a gentleman. Who is it
that does not admire a big-heart
ed, kind gentle man? No matter
what his calling if he is a true
gentlemen . he is admired by
every one — even the little
children loves him and will climb
up in his lap and throw their tiny
little arms about his neck
There is a magnatism about the
true gentleman that draws hu
manity close to him—so close
that the pulsations of his great
heart can easily be felt as it
pours out its love and kindness
and sympathy to all mankind.
The Farm Journal, speaking of
the gentleman farmer, says:
“We all love him. He is wor
thy to be loved.
Who is be?
He is the man who is kind to
every creature about the farm.
He would not knowingly hurt one
of the cows or horses nny more
than he would one of the boys or
girls. His definition of a gentle
man is truly that of a gentle man.
When lie says lie will do a
thing, he will do it if it is in the
bounds of reason. If be promises
to deliver a tub of bu.ter, or a
bushel of potatoes, the man who
buys might as well hunt up his
pocketbook and be on baud at the
time set. /
He always has a song in his
heart, and it breaks out on his
lips while lie is about his work.
Life is dear to him, because he is
trying to make it a life and not
simply n living.
lie has no time to grow old.
The men who grow old are thoie
who have nothing to do. Bust
lias gathered in the bearings of
their running gear, and they have
thought about themselves so much
that they think they are about
all of this world. The gentleman
farmer knows that this is not
true. There are lots of other
good people in his world, and he
knows them all when he sees
them.
The gentleman farmer has a
good warm place in his heart for
all tilings in the world nround
him. Trees, flowers and all ani
mals are to him objects of the
Father’s care, just as himself is;
and if God cares for them, shall
he not do so, also?
Do you know this gentleman far
mer? Does he live at your
house?”
IS DALLAS DIRT CHEAP ?
Oft DO TAXPAYERS LIE ?
The bill to Increase the whiskey
tax In Georgiy from $400 to $1,000 has
passed the house and we hope it will
become a law.
If Rube Hutchens decides to enter
the raoe for congress, he will have to
explain why he has lined up with th
ring politicians “a little hit different
from what he used to he.”—Dalton
Citizen.
A hill has been introduced in the
legislature to exempt household and
kitchen furniture from taxation
But so little of it is returned for tax
ation—what’s the use uf bothering
with the subject?

A Kentucky editor refuses to pub
lish notice of the deaths of people
■who, while living, failed to take his
paper, giving this pointed reason
therefor: “People who do not take
the home paper are dead anyway,
and their merely passing away is of
no particular news value to any one.”
Captain Evan P. Howell died at
2iis home in Atlanta Sunday after
noon. The end came suddenly but
peacefnlly. He was one of Georgia’s
most prominent citizens. He was
brave Confederate soldier, having
unlisted at an early age. He Is sur
vived by a wife and seven children
Thousands of people will morn his
loss.
Dallas should start a crusade
Against unolean back yards, stables
etc., and It behooves everybody to
get very busy and clean up. There
is yellow fever on the coast, typhoid
in neighboring towns, the weather is
very hot, and much sickness is liable
to come of filthy yards, stagnant wa
ter and the like. Clean up the back
jyards and remove the hogpens.
WITH OUR EXCHANGES.
Looks like Hon. Gordon Lee is
going to have a Fite on his hands
soon.—Koine Tribune.
Some of the editors discussing
politics seems to be far more fa-
miliar with the Piedmont bar
than with any political issues.—
Quitman Free Press.
One fifth of the people in asy
lums are said to be perfectly sane.
However, there ar6 enough crazy
folks outside the asylums to bring
up the average.—Atlanta Jour
nal.
Miss Ida Tarbell says John D.
Rockefeller has not made good.
There is a popular impression,
however, that he has made a good
deal.—Macon Telegraph.
Scientists say that freckled
faced girls make the best wives.
Gome to think of it, don’t believe
we ever did know a sure enough
freckled faced girl wasn’t all
right, all right.—Rome Tribune.
The impression, I think, is
abroad that real estate in Dal
las is comparatively high—
higher than ever befote. Is
this true?
As to its being true vide
city tax digest. Many make
returns of real estate at a val
ue less than the improvements
thereon. Some place from
one-third to one-fourth the
value they might reasonably
expect to cash it for.
It is a well known fact that
Dallas real estate will bring
more now than ever in the
history of the town. The
town, in every respect (except
it be morally ) is in a better
condition than ever before. A
cotton mill, a flour mill, a
knitting mill, a canning fac
tory'and a light plant, and we
hope more good things to fol
low. Yet despite this fact,
some return their property at
prices which ruled ten and
more years ago. We are liv
ing in the present. Rather
strange, too, some, not all, of
these have their names en
rolled on the church book;
“shilling lights,” ye are.
Not that it would be right
for those not church members,
but such of church members
is more readily noticed, as they
are supposed to embody the
Christian graces and be mod
els of right living.
Evidently some of them
think the command of Jesus
to “render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars,” etc.,
does not apply to them.
What effect will the prayers
of such a one have upon the
knowing and unregenerated
heart for good ? Verily none.
To be moved cr influenced
toward the good by the pray
ers or words of one, wc must
believe that one to be a good
and true man. We can only
judge one by his acts; for one’s
acts are always prompted by
the desire of the heart. If the
heart is right your acts will
be right.
Owing to the fallen state of
man, governments are neces
sary, and it is the nearest
right that can be well arrived
at for each individual to pay
his prorata share, in propor
tion to his wealth, to help sup
port these 7 governments.
Now, if I return my proper
ty at one-third its value, I
have robbed every individual in
that government. Robbers
knows no degrees. In all
of its forms it is wrong, crimi
nal and sinful.
Now, men, don’t allow the
devil to deceive you longer by
any palliating excuses.
Examine your consciences
and Bible and see if there be
aught to justify your acts.
I do not mean to be critical
or offensive, but I feel that
such needs to be repirmanded.
You know you have done
wrong, I want you to do right.
Now, just come up before the
digest is turned over to the
assessors and make the neces
sary corrections. You can’t
afford to endanger your souls
to hell fire to save a few dol
lars.
Be honest with yourselves.
If so, you will surely be to
ward all men. While an of
fended Savior is on the mercy
seat,
Come! Be men.
The wrong deeds of others
will not justify your wrong |
deeds, you need not take the i
road to Pluto’s bowers just be
cause another does. You must
answer for yourself alone.
Be you Christians, be you|
men—intelligent leaders of so
ciety, and do these things ?
The immortalesforbid. Has
ten to undo the wrong. To
morrow, perhaps, too late.
Junius.
the Local papers.
Mr. Hearst’s Chicago Ameri
can never contained a more sen
sible editorial than the one fol
lowing, nor one marked by a
spirit of more fairness. It says:
“It would be a misfortune to
the country if the few big pa
pers in the big cities should in
terfere seriously with the publi
cation of the valuable and in
telligent local newspapors, upon
whom the welfare of the country
very largely depends.
“The metropolitan daily can
not. possibly know the needs of
the var'ous localities and small
cities. Only the local papers
can protect local needs and in
fluence lochl opinion. Of course,
we are very glad to have as many
people as possible read the Chi
cago American in the big cities
and the little cities. But we
hope that in every small town
and in every village there will
be enough intelligence and pub
lic spirit on the part of the local
inhabitants to support earnestly
and enthusiastically the best lo
cal newspaper, giving encourag
ing approbation and a good liv
ing to the local editor, who alone
can represeut and defend justice
and public spirit among his
neighbors. The man is unfortu
nate whe cannot afTord to take
two newspapers at today’s prices.
He who can afford only one news
paper, in our opinion, should dis
play his sense of duty to his lo
cality by taking the local pa
per.”
A Touching Story
is the saving from death, of the
bany girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cum
berland, Md. He writes :“At the
age of 11 months, our little girl
was in declining health, with se
rious throat trouble, and two
physicians gavo her up. We were
almost, in dispair, when we re
solved to try Dr. King’s New
Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds. The first bot
tle gave relief; after taking four
bottles she was cured, and is now
in perfect health.” Never fails

cold. At Dr. Cooper’s drug
store, 60c and $1.00 guaranteed.

Name Them.
Why don’t Dallas take pride
enough in her streets to name
and number them all? A stran
ger coming into town is com
pletely lost if he is looking for a
private residence forty yards
from the public square. You
describe the place to him, if you
happen to be able, and he goes
on a serch. Numbers are easier
found, and, besides, it is more
city-like. Let the council name
and number all the streets or re
quire it done. Citizen.

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure iu
all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall’s
catarrh cure is the only remedy known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall’s catarrh cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing Us work. The propriet
ors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one-hundred dol
lars for any case it fails tocure. Send for
a list of testimonials. Address: F. J.
