THE FUTURE OF DALLAS.
Did you ever stop to think of the advantages that Dallas
has to become a town of size aod importance? If yon haven’t
and expect to live in twenty miles of the place you had as well
begin to consider it.
A few wise and thoughtful people have for a long time
known and expressed confidence in her future and offered ar
gument to sustain their conclusion. But the one thing lacking
to show the wisdom of their decision they didn’t have, to-wit:
Capital.
These advantages became so apparent, however, about six
years ago that it was no longer a question of a capitalist or no
town. The first forward stride was the building of a cotton
factory. This, like all other enterprises, had to be tried be
fore its stockholders would want to make a further venture.
Each year the books of the enterprise have shown gains that
have shown the wisdom of the investment. While the factory
has been enjoying prosperity, the town has also been growing
in importance to the business world. They have added a knit
ting mill, a canning factory, an oil mill, an electric light plant
and a flour mill to the manufacturing enterprises. A hand
some school building and Baptist church have been built.
Many very fine residences, besides a great number of substan
tial dwellings, have been built. The Commercial-Savings Bank
will bogin operation in a few days in the Davis & Finch
building.
SUFFERED LOSS.
Within the last four years the town has had four tires. One
Of these tires burned almost all of the west side of the business
square. Another the large brick hotel building belonging to
Dr. T. J. Foster at the depot, and the other the plankjhotel of
Mrs. Maggie Owons together with the residences of Frank and
Josse Meek, all of which would likely aggregate about $50,000.
FIRES DIDN’T STOP PROGRESS.
Each time that fire has destroyed business houses others
have gone up or will go up in their places more modern aud
more substantial. The following business buildings are now
either going up or will be in the next few days: Hay Bros.,
between T. R. Griflin and E. M. Ctoper; Dr. E. H. Robertson,
next to Bartlett & Watson Co.; Dallas Mercantile Co., on three
lots formerly occupied by O. W. Russom, J. D. McFarland and
Crew & Holland; MeekJIros., on the lot formerly occupied by
them.
DET1AND FOR HOUSES.
It is almost a daily occurrence that some one or more is here
wanting houses to move into. This emergency and need is be
ing considered by some of our people and likely many houses
will be built soon. Owing to the result of some of onr burn
ings we are more in need of hotel accomtnod&tioni than any
thing else now.
WHY WE SHOULD OROW.
Paulding county has some 15,000 people within her bounds;
several thousand without her bounds that should spend their
money at Dallas. Why?
In the first place it is the home town of many of these peo
ple. If they spend money to increase the capital of a mer
chant here it gives that much more property to be taxed and
therefore lessens yearly his own taxes. It also serves to place
his county toward the top of the list in importance and wealth.
A prosperous county seat means higher land throughout the
county. Dallas’ prosperity means Paulding’s prosperity.
Then we have another reason which appeals to all thoughtful
people: Dallas has a reputation for selling goods for small
profits. We do not think it would be an exaggeration to say
that because of this fact there are more independent farmers
in Paulding than almost any county in the state. Merchants
who bring about this condition deserve to prosper. As a re
sult of this policy it is not an infrequent occurrence to see peo
ple who live twenty miles away purchasing goods at our stores.
We should grow because our business men co-operate with
each other and will co-operate with anybody who comes here
who wishes to promote the interest of the town of Dallas.
Mark this prediction:
There will be more growth of the town of Dallas in the next
ten years than in any town of its size in North Georgia. If
you contemplate coming to Dallas you had better do so now.
Good schools, good churches and
good roads are a grand tiling to Imvo
In a community. In order to liavo
these things people must be educa
ted to take pride in all these. Your
home paper can and will do more to
encourage all of these things than
any other agency. The school chil
dren read with pleasure the home
happenings, aud as they grow up be
come Interested and make useful
citizens. Give the children the
home paper to read. It costs you
but a trifle.
A LITTLE STRANOE.
Almost every neck and corner
of the county was represented
here Tuesday and they all say
things are prosperous in their
several sections. Really it is a
little strange to see how pros
perous the country is and to note
just how hard it is to collect
debts.
There was a fairly good crop
of cotton made and a good crop
of other products and the cotton
has brought fairly good prices
and it does seein like money
matters ought to be easier than
they are.
Now we suggest that some
good fellow turn loose that little
ten dollars that he is carrying
deep down in his pocket and let
it pay a few debts; perhaps if it
were turned loose it would pay
several little debts. While as it
is, is doing no one any visible
good. Try it brother and turn
the machinery loose oftce more
and you and all your neighbors
may be benefited.—Calhoun X-
Ray.
The paper in the Ohio state prison
having been suspended because there
were no printers behind the bars to
do the work, leads our foreman to
remark that it would be a good idea
to teach bankers to set type.—Dalton
Citizen.
MULE VS. THE FARMER.
The mule is stronger than the
man. Though the mule is
stronger than the man, the man
manages the mule for his own
purposes, ne puts a bridle on
him, and a saddle, and rides on
his back. He puts harness made
of leather on the mule, and by
speaking to him and giving him
plenty of licks, he induces him
to walk and pull a wagon while
the man gets into the wagon and
rides. The mole does much hard
work, but all the money gained
by the mule’s hard work the man
appropriates to himself. The
mule lives roughly, is fed in a
trough and sleeps on the ground
on a little straw. The man eats
at a table and sleeps in a warm
bed. The mule is a useful ani
mal to the man.
The farmer is stronger than
the monopolist. Though the
farmer is stronger than the mon
opolist, the monopolist manages
him for his own purpose. He
puts a bridle, called loyalty to
party, in his mouth, a saddle on
his back, and rides him where he
wills. He puts harness made of
prejudice on the farmer, and by
making speeches to him, and giv
ing him plenty of tally, induces
him to walk and draw a monopo
list carriage.
The farmer does much hard
work, but the money gained by
the farmer’s work the monopo
list appropriates to himself. The
farmer has become poor and
lives roughly on a mortagaged
farm, and eats plain food from
delf and tin plates, and sleeps
On a straw bed. The farmer is
very useful to the monopolist.
Moral: Those who do not use
their brains for themselves must
use their muscles for somebody
else.
Farmer’s High Calling.
Agriculture has had a past,
and it has a future. The pro
ducts of the land are increasing
in value each succeeding year.
The lonesomeness of the farm is
disappearing through regular
connection and touch with the
world by means of free delivery
of the mails, telephones, and bet
ter roads. The trolley service,
too, is distined to add its portion
to the advantages of country life
as time goes on.
Farmers are not all disposed
to recognize their high calling.
A farm is like a great painting,
a poem or an anthem. Wo can
study and admire daily and
hourly, and each time the sub
ject presents something new and
pleasing and instructive. A
deep-rooted knowledge of the
mysteries of the farm can only
be learned by persistent study
and experiment. Agriculture is
the oldest and most needful call
ing in the world. The produc
tion of all wealth in its original
form comes from the ground. To
the farmer the world looks for
food and clothing. Were the
farms of the earth to fail for a
siilgle year, famine would fairly
sweep away the human race.

The class of work turned out by

The world always stands within

ward off the appalling danger.
The tendency in this age is
back to the soil. The man with
a quarter-section of land has a
heritage, for the possibilities
of agriculture multiply. New
grains and fruits and vegetables
and grasses are being created,
and old varieties are being made
better. The openings for stud
ents and workers on the farm
are limitless in number and
boundless in results. Get the
boys to stay on the farm; if they
stay, the girls will stay.—South
