Only six more days— <
Count ’em yourself— I
Just one more week remains in i
which to receive the highest credits :
of the second period in The Adver- :
tiser Prize Club. Just six more days :
in which to redeem and collect all ;
promises; six more days in which to
get enough subscriptions and credits
to cinch the prize you most desire.
This is your last chance for the ।
Big Credits! After the next six days
the credits again decline and never ।
again will they be as high as they j
are at present—between now and j
Feb. 11th. Remember that date — j
Feb. 11th—let it make an indelible
impression on your mind and let it
put into you the energy that you did
not think was possible. These last re- .
maining days of the second period
will have a tremendous bearing on
your final standing in the campaign.
Make every minute count! Get out
every day and hustle! Don’t pass up
a prospect! Keep on the job from
morn till night and on Feb. 4th you
won’t have to say “I wish I did this”
or “I wish I did that at such and
such a time.” The time for action
is now—not later. Start working
bright and early in the morning and
keep at it late at night. Every min
ute counts as the campaign draws to
a close.
If you have enough ambition to
win the $683 Chevrolet coach or the
Diamond, you will have to think
campaign, sleep campaign; in fact,
make “compaign” your topic of daily
conversation. It’s the results that are
obtained during the next six days
that count if you want to be at the
top when the finish flag falls.
SEVEN VERY CLOSE
CHANCES EVEN
Seven of the Club Members are
pretty fairly bunched at the present
time, but the next few days will
show some radical changes, as did the
First Period. Some startling devel
opments will come to light and those
developments will come from the
Club Members who get out and work
and exert every effort to make their

credits mount higher. And one of
the candidates can win—even some
one entering today—but it means ef
fort and plenty of it. You will find
it hard to get subscriptions—but that
is part of the game. If it had been
an easy task, these wonderful big
prizes would not have been offered.
This is an opportunity for you to
make big money or to own your own
car. The results depend on no one
but YOU.
It is not what you have done in
the past-—but what you are going to
jdo that counts. Stay on the job ev
ery minute —make them all count!
WHAT’S YOUR TIME WORTH?
No matter what you have been
earning heretofore, you can make
your time worth hundreds of dollars
a week throughout the next six days.
You can win the prize you most de
sire if you put in the proper time
with the proper effort, while, the
credits are highest.
No one is going to place a value
on your time. That is up to you, and
it all depends on how you use that
time for the next six days. As a
Club Member in this race you are in
business for yourself and you will
get paid according to the way you
figure, plan and work. Each Club
Member is the appraiser of her own
time—you can either make it worth
many dollars or only a few cents. AH
it takes on the part of a new entrant
is initiative and energy to go ahead
and a desire to do something big in
her own way. Ask your friends and
acquaintances for their subscriptions
—there are still a great many sub
scriptions to be had.
If you lire a little behind in the
credit standing, there is a sure way
of catching up. Report each and
every Tuesday as per instructions of
the Club Manager.
The far-sighted Club Member can
see the value of the long-term sub
scriptions and strive to obtain as
many as possible while the big cred
its are in force. These will increase
your credits by leaps and bounds as
will any kind of subscriptions. Sell

The many Forsyth friends of Prof.

superintendent of the Forsyth school

the respect and affection of a wide
circle of friends. ;
The following notice of his death ।
and that of one of the members of his I
j faculty is taken from The Atlanta
' Journal:
The public school at Tucker, Ga., ;

was closed Monday out of respect to
its principal and one of its teachers,
both of whom died Sunday after short
illnesses. Mr. J. H. Riser, 45 years
old, the principal, died at his home
in Tucker, and Miss Mary Olive Jack
son, 21-year-old teacher, died at a
private sanitarium.

EXPLAINS CONNECTION
WITH MURRAY TIRE CO.
In view of the fact that the public
may have the idea that we are oper
ating a chain tire store for the Mur
ray Rubber Company, we wish to
state that our connection with this
firm is similar to that of the repre
sentatives of other tire manufactur
ers such as Seiberling and Firestone,
whose product we sell.
We made this connection in order
to be able to meet the competition of
mail order houses and chain stores,
and to be able to serve you on a com

TRAVELERS MISTAKE
FORSYTH FOR MACON
The inhabitants of Forsyth have
long been aware of the high quality
of the town in which they live and
their sympathy constantly goes out
o those who are less fortunately
tuated in being tied down to other
UiP s. In the course of time it seems
tha‘ Hie preeminence of this city has
becom so pronounced that it will be
necessary to put up a better system
of signs 'n order that strangers en
route to the larger cities of the state
may not stop here under the impres
sion that they have arrived at their [
destination.
An event of th.' nature occurred
here Tuesday night when four gen
tlemen, who were driving cars for a
South Georgia dealer, stopped at Wil-
lingham’s Garage and asked if they
could secure storage room for the |
cars for the night. After the cars
were stored they asked to be direct
ed to the nearest drugstore and upon
their return inquired concerning our
best hotel. When told that there was
only one hotel, they asked the ques
tion, “Is this not the city of Macon?’’
Mr. Willingham exhausted a con
siderable amount of eloquence in
convincing them that this was For
syth and that Macon was a part of
our southern suburbs. At length,
they took his word for it, cranked
up their cars and set out for where
they thought they were.
EPWORTH LEAGUE WILL

with Miss Ruth Vannerson in charge.

DID IT EVER
STRIKE YOU
that it might not be the right
thing for Evangelists to try to im
press upon their audiences how hot
it is in the lower regions? Some
Missionaries tried that on the Es
kimos, God’s frozen people, and
most of them wanted to go there
because they wouldn’t have to
comb their hair with an ice pick.
Did it ever occur to you that this
is the right time to buy your gar
den implements? Prices are now
lowest and selection unlimited.
Ihe quality of our implements
adds greatly to the economy their
low prices introduces.
