"You have been advocating good things for Ced,trtown,”said some excel lent ladies to a Standard man recently, "and why don't you agltite the Park question?" Our answer wua this: "Until some care Is taken of the park we already have, It Is hnrdly any use to talk about another." Some years ago a number of the good ladies of Cedartown banded to gether and raised money enough to build a pavilion on the city’s prop erty at the Big Spring,and the build ing has ever since been a popular resting place for many. The structuro however, needs painting and some minor repairs very badly, and the grounds adjacent need attention. We know the difficulties under which our city authorities have to labor In try ing to keep In some kind of order our miles of streets, but here Is a point certainly worth considering: Every Htranger who comes to Cedar town Is taken to visit our Big Spring, and It Is well worth while to keep Its surroundings In presentable con dition. This should bo a sufficient consideration, aside from any regard for the pleasure of our home folks. Our County Commissioners Hhould do something to beautify the grounds around the monument so patriotically built by the ladles In memory of Polk Confederate veterans. The monument to the heroes of the "Lost Cause" Is a thing of beauty, but the surrounding premlqeH are presenting too great a contrast. Trees should he set out ne^ct winter, but. In the meantime the grounds could he put Into Bermuda grass and the weeds cut. Walks could be laid out, and a few benches put about. A fountain, too, would add to the appearance of the place, which should be made into an attractive lit tle park. If the ladles of Cedartown and vicinity would undertake the work of fixing up and maintaining these two pioc»8 of public property, they would perform an Inestimable service to the community. When they are properly cared for, either by the ladles or by the city and county authority h. wo will take great pleasure In discussing the larger park proposition which is going to be a necessity for Cedariown within the next few years. OFF TO JAMENTOWN. The Cedartown Rifles, under com mand of Cftpt. W. H. Trawick, left Saturday morning In a special coach via the Seaboard for Atlanta, where their car was transferred to the reg ular 5th Regiment train for the Jamestown Exposition. Thlrt members composed the party, "letters from the front" state that the Congressman Briggs' Admirable dress Highly Complimented. the cedartown standard] thk We Hayg SOMETHING GOOD TO OFFER the Trade in FOOTWEAR. The annual commencement season has come and gone, and another es pecially suctesful year of work at our city public schools has been added to the record of that excellent insti tution. The play, "Mine Falls, or the Mil ler’s Daughter," Wednesday evening was a big success, und showed genuine histrionic talent on the part of the bright young people who participated in It. Thursday evening the closing exer cises were held at the Lyceum, and the excellent program was greatly en- Joj.d by the large crowd In at tendance. The exercises opened with a nicely rendered instrumental s-olo by Miss Cleo Stewart, followid by an excellent oration by Mr. Summer Freeman on "The Influence of Character." Miss Jessie Wiggins, who has the honor of being the only young lady in the Class qf 1907, read a happily worded essay on "The Optimist." After a sweet violin solo by Mis* Pauline Bailey, Mr. Wm. Ilouseal delivered a fine oration on the subject, "Beyond the Alps lies Italy," and Mr. Thos. Fielder presented a splendid oration on "Imagination." All the literary productions show, d study and orig inality, and were highly creditable. The clasB Is a bright one, and its members step Into the world’s arena with good prospects for success. Miss Florence Chapmau sang a lovely solo, and Hon. W. K. Fielder, chairman of the City School Board, In troduced to the audience the orator of the evening, Hon. Jas. M. Griggs, one of South Georgia's most dis tinguished and popular Congressmen. The Standard wishes that Judge Griggs’ address could be heard In every county in Georgia. He called attention to the woeful Inadequacy of school facilities generally In Georgia and to the ridiculously low salaries paid the average teacher, and told something or the patriotic manner In which the new Western states are handling educational problems. He declared himself In favor of a "Greater Georgia," but wants It to come through the education of our people Instead of by foreign Immigration. His speech abound’d in good, practi cal, common sense sing’8tions, with a plentiful spice of witty and pertinent anecdote. Judge Griggs was the gu st while here of Mr. Wm. .1. Harris. He made many friends who would be glad to see him a frequent vis tor here, and was welcomed with special cordiality by our rural carriers.who are Indebted to Senator Clay and Judge Griggs for That VULCANITE ROOFING is the moat economical and durable READY ROOKING on the mar ket.

An Enjoyable Gathering of the Georgia SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY. Schedule in Effect Jan. 0th, 1007. Pre»»—Editor Uolemnn Declined Re- election ns President. The 21st annual convention of the Georgia' Weekly Press Association last week in SandersvIUe was one of the most enjoyable In the history the organization. CongreBBma’n T. W. Hardwick \ corned the visitors to his city from wife greeted them Wednesday evening j at a delightful reception at their own lovely home, at which Sandersville’s j chlva’ry and beauty bade the gues s | thrice welcome. Thursday the opening day, and ladles made an Interesting gathering, Many praclcal papers on subjects alive to newspaper men were read, and their running discussions proved that Georgia editors know how to talk as well as write. The contest for the next convention betwe n Gainesville and Douglas brought out the speaking talent of the pencil-pushers. Mrs. Gen. Longstrett, however, won for her city, with the tentative promise by the convention to "sample the hospitality of Douglas In 1909." Hon. W. B. Merritt, stite school commissioner, and Hon. J. A. Bet jeman. president of the Georgia Im migration Association, delivered fine addresses to the editors on education and immigration—both vital questions In our affairs today. That Orchard out at Boise. Idaho, seeniB to have borne nothing but bad fruit—and lots of It. Governor Hughts. of New York, has vetoed the bill passed by the Leg islature fixing a two-cent rate for all railroads In that state more than 150 miles in length. The Rome Council has turned down the proposition to annex the big Au- chor Duck mills and the Rome Tan nery, for the reason that if taken In to the city limits other manufacturing enterprises would not locate on the ad jacent sites.. I beg to acknowledge receipt of check of The Travelers insurance Co. for 12,030.62, same being In paymout of life policy which my husband took out with you. This was $30.62 more than I expected to receive and your explanation Is that the amount was 20 per cent of the amount of prem iums which my husband had ppid in and which his policy agreed to return to his beneficiary at death. Thank ing you for your promptness in the matter. Very truly yours, MRS. THURMOND COLBERT. ' To K\V. J. Harris & Co.. Agents The Travelers Insurance Co. Polk county people will turn out by the hundreds to hear Hon. T. W. Hardwick, the brilliant young Con gressman from the Tenth district— the successor of Black and Watson— and who was Hoke Smith's right arm in the latter’s race for Governor. He speaks In Cedartown on the glorious Fourth. pre ented the dlplbmas to the grad nates. He paid Prof W. T. Garrett who has just closed a successful three years superintendency here, a high and well deserved compliment, char acterizing the past year as the best In the history of the schoil. As an evidence of the generally excellent spirit In the schools, and as a token of the high esteem In which they are held, Col. Fielder had the pleasure of presenting to the Superintendent and High School toachers some pleasing tokens of appreciation and good will from thiir pupils—to Prof. W. T. Garrett an elegant morocco card case; to Prof. S. J. Smith a pretty Swas tika match box, and to Prof. E. E. King a handsome watch fob. Prof. Garrett returned the thinks of him self and his colleagues in a feeling manner. This presentation was one of the most gratifying features of the evening, and s; eaks eloquently for the school. With the benediction ty Rev. H. M. QuiUlan, the evening’s exercises came to an end. To the graduating class The Standard extends congrat ulations and best wishes for their success in life. To the teachers and pupils who remain here and to those who are to come to us, we wish a pleasant vacation and a good get ting-ready for next year's work; while to those who go elsewhere, we wish an even more abundant success than has rewarded their labors here. Polk’s pedagogues enjoyed a pleas ant day Saturday at the Teachers’ Institute and educational rally held at the Big Cedar school. Pertinent talks wore made by Prof. R. W. Edeufield of Cave Spring, County School Com missioner J. E. Lovvorn, Rev. G. E. Benedict and others. A big picnic dinner was enjoyed by the hospitable people of that sterling community and their guests. Another big educational rally will be held at Esorn Hill In July. The County Commissioners request us to again call attention to the vio lations of laws governng the public roads. Many are plowing ou the right of way and filling up the road ditches and drains. Corn and cotton rows lead right up to the roadside In many places, and some farmers think noth ing of plowing clean up to the road way, thereby causing the road work ers to go over the roads at consider able expense to the county. TThey wish to warn all parties against this trespass and its consequences. Sandersvllle and her twin sister— Tennille—did the handsome thing by the editors. The hearts and homes were "ours," and no city ever proved more cordial or princely to Us guests. These two towns are the leaders of Washington county’s progress, and in both city and country there are no better people in Georgia. An elegant banquet, at which three hundred vis itors and local citizens sat down, was tendered Thursday evening at Hotel Jullda and at which speeches were made by Supreme Court Justice B. D. Evans, Senator A. S. Clay, Judge Raw lins. Solicitor Alf Herrington, Presi dent W. S. Coleman, Rev. W. D. Up shaw and Dr. Hardeman. The Daughters of Confederacy enter tained the ladies of the convention and Friday afternoon the city of Ten- nille played the part of host right royally. Friday night a farewell re ception was given at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J.D.Newman. These social functions were delightful affairs and proved thorughly enjoya ble to the large gathering of guests. The Standard editor and his wife were the favored guests of Hon. and Mrs. A. Willis Evans, and their gra cious hospitality made our stay most pleasant. Col. Evans is an ex-Repre- sentative of Washington county, and was recently elected Mayor of San- dersville. Mrs. Evans Is well knowu as a former popular Cedartown lady, and her distinguished husband has many friends here. Mr. Coleman, who had been honored for fourteen years as president of the press association, declined to serve another term, and Editor H. M. Stan ley, of Dublin, was chosen to succeed Mr. Coleman. A resolution of thanks and esteem for his services as head of that influential organization was adopted unanimously by a rising vote, as was also a handsome appropriation for a suitable present tyy the Asso ciation. — No. 41 7 55 a in K 41 H 50 9 20 » 38 9 55 10 13 10 23 10 41 11 19 11 30 12 Ofl 1 30 pm 4 45 p m 5 33 5 52 0 22 0 30 0 50 7 11 7 42 8 10 8 27 9 01 10 1ft Lv \ r ..
