ANNOUNCEMENT.
Beginning with the first issue of
the Early County News for the year
1926 our rate for local reading no
tices will be 10c per line each in
sertion. This ought to have been
the charge all the time, but now that
our subscription list has more than
doubled, the increased charge is nec
essary to meet the added expense of
publication.
That our customers need not be
deprived of n cheap method of ad
vertising small matters, we will con
tinue our ‘‘for sale and want” col
umn at 1c per word—but no adver
tisement less than 25c. We hope
our people will increase the use of
the classified columns.
There will also be a slight increase
in the rate for display advertising,
which will be made known on ap
plication.
The subscription price of the News
will be increased from $1.50 to
$2.00 per year.
Tomorrow ushers in the New Year
1926.
o
The News wishes for each and
every one of its readers a Happy
and Prosperous New Year. May the
coming twelve months be the bright
est in each of your lives.
The whole nation was swept by a
cold wave from the northwest the
first of the week, when the thermom
eter took a tumble to new low lev
els. The mercury reached the low
figure of 14 degrees in Blakely, and
the plumbers have had a busy time
of it this week.
o
In his desire to awaken interest in
the cause of good roads and better
educational facilities in Georgia, the
subjects to be considered at the
extra session of the legislature to
be held in February, Governor Walk
er plans a tour of the State to place
the issue before the people. In this
effort he will be aided by several
prominent educators of the State.
Apparent opposition to the extra
session seems to be waning, and the
people seem to be slowly but surely
awakening to the fact that now is
the psychological time for Georgia
to go forward—or else sit still and
tell the world she is satisfied to re
tain her present status.
o-
Beginning next week, the Early
County News will increase its size
to a six column eight page paper.
Tlie News now boasts of one of the
largest circulations of any weekly in
South Georgia, and furnishes a splen
did advertising medium. We hope
to give our readers a better paper
than ever before, but to do so we
must have the co-operation of the
public, both in the matter of ad
vertising patronage and the gather
ing of news. As the new year be
gins, we wish to heartily thank our
constituency for the liberal co-oper
ation we have received in the past,
and to solicit a continuation of your
business and good will in the years
to come—to the end that we may
be enabled to give you a bigger and
better paper.
THIS IS NOT A BAD IDEA.
The Tifton Gazette, in a recent
issue, had the following timely com
ment regarding the preparation of
South Georgia land owners for pros
pective buyers:
There is- one development plan
which we want to see tried out in
Tift county, and we believe it will
prove a money-maker for the man
or company with the wisdom to
undertake it. This is the develop
ment of some modern farm tracts —
say fifty acres, with good house,
barn, pecan orchard, etc. —all ready
for the purchaser to move in and
start farming. It would take money
to turn the trick, but we believe it
not only would bring the promoter
money, but that it also would bring
many new farmers to Tift. There
isn’t much inducement for a farmer
to move to Tift if he must come
here and start out in the woods or
in an old shack. Who’ll be the
man or company to lead the way by
setting up some model farm houses
in Tift county? We need them to
get the farmers started our way.
The above statement is applicable
to Early county jtfit as it is to Tift
The News has commented before on
the need of desirable tenant houses
if we are to attract new settlers
here. We have been told by a prom
inent local real estate dealer that
he has had more than one prospec
tive buyer to “move on” because
of the condition of the houses on
farms listed for sale.
Early county farm lands can not
be beat anywhere in South Georgia,
or any other section of Georgia, for
that matter, and the addition of the
improvements referred to by our
Tifton contemporary would no doubt
pay handsome dividends.
o
Towns in the Second district which
have not but want postoffice build
ings are expressing elation over
the appointment of Congressman E.
E. Cox on the Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee of the House.
Blakely, Camilla, Cairo, Pelham and
I Sylvester are all anxious to have
Uncle Sam erect buildings in their
midst, and membership on the com
mittee should aid Congressman Cox
in securing the buildings. We hope
the new Congressman will not dis
appoint our neighbors and that he
will be successful in his efforts in
their behalf.—Tifton Gazette.

THE HOME PORT
As the Yuletide Slips into the Harbor of World Hap
piness and a New Year Stands in the Offing, We
Behold the Spectacle of America Making
Its Most Hallowed Port—Home.
A great Amercan trait is that we are a home loving race. It
matters not where the exigencies of business may take us or how
great the distance from friends, loved ones and old associations,
the Yuletide spirit turns our thoughts and hearts and faces to
ward that place, be it cottage or mansion, that means to us all
that is true and beautiful in our lives.
And so, at this season many- thousands of people are planning
the trip—back to the haunts of their childhood; and back there
eager smiles await the home-coming.
Christmas presents a problem to a great railroad, because it
is the railroad’s duty to sleeplessly and vigilantly contribute its
service to those who are “homeward bound.”
The Central of Georgia Railway feels that it may best express
its greetings to that great army of friends and patrons—the
public, by doing everything in its power to safely speed them
back to the family circles which wait.
If then we are privileged to serve you and contribute in
any way to the comfort of your Christmas journey, we shall
feel that we have substantially expressed what we would like to
say in person—a Merry Christmas to you and all that are
within your house.
