The people who make the loan must have confidence in the borrower to start with and then adequate security. If the borrower, through continued de posits, has become known to the of ficers of the bank, he him established a basis of credit which akes It an easy matter to secure any reasonable accomodation. All business men re quire the aid of outside capital at times. Some day you will need to borrow to close some mlvautngeouus purchase.

COROT’S RUSTIC HABITS. Ilow the ArfUt ■ lAtm Corot's father wni n little, dry, thin old mnii. whose cor.vet uppeuranee, precise gestures and short speech were lu singular contrast to the geniality and Jovial ways of Camille. He was the typical business man. He wished bis son to go luto business and appren ticed him to n wholesale cloth mer chant Camille, who dreamed only of painting, conceived n violent aversion to commerce and seized every oppor tunity to escape from the shop and go up to his room to copy dmwiugs. His employer was very dissatisfied with him and complained to bis father, who reprimanded him severely. At Inst one day the young mnn did not go to busi ness and told bis father that be must follow bis vocation, even If It brought him misery. Seeing that nothing could niter this decision, "Very well," the father answered. "I will give you 1.200 francs annually—not a centime more— and you will make the bent you can of It.” Camille leaped for Joy. He Imme diately made preparations for depar ture. left home and Installed himself In the little hamlet of Morvun, at a farrier's whose numerous family was crowded Inte the only room, which was the forge. Corot there contracted the habits of the pensuutry. which be retained ever after. He had no needs, lived only for Ills art nnd found com plete happiness In It. For a long time Corot remained at the farrier’s, satisfied wMh the coarse food, hnppy In his liberty nnd feeling rich with his modest allowance. En dowed with robust health and being Jovial by nature, he always sang while he worked, and hie gnyety never de serted him. At his father's death Corot found himself possessed of a revenue of 40,- 000 francs, hut this opulence did not change Ms rustic habits. He continued his simple and laborious life. Always np before dawn, he plit*on the peae- ant's clothes that be wore all his lift, ate his soup, lit his pipe ond with bis box In his hand and his easel on his shoulder started for his work, his so norous voice ringing out Joyously.—G. Chardin In Putnam’s Monthty. A pprnranpn. One had long hair nnd a high collar, and the other bad hair cropped close to his brad. Their silk bats were a little rusty, yet there was au air of geutlllty about the two men. 1 saw them this morning from tiie window of a chop- house. They walked to the side door of a pawnshop across the way after they had first taken u furtive look about to see If anybody observed them. They would not have been seen enter ing u pawnsliop for worlds. They came out a minute later. The one with the long hair bad oiie less watch chttlu than he hud when be went lu. They stopped within two feet of the door from which they had come. The long haired man divided some bills with his companion. He looked nt a little slip of papor in his hand, and any one might see that the slip was a pawn ticket. There they stood for ten mlu- utes by the side door of that pawn shop. within sight of Sixth avenue anil Broadway, that all who walked might see that they bad been to visit an avuncular relative. Yet they would not have thought of boldly entering that pawnshop by the frout door.—New York Telegram.

The Georgia Legislature convened last week, and got right down to bus iness in Bhort order. There were several aspirants for the Presidency of the Senate, the two leading candi dates being Hon. J. NV. Akin of Rar- tow, and Hon. T. B. Felder of Bibb. Judge Akin proved the winner, and Ills host of friends throughout the state are much gratified at the re sult. He Is our "next door neighbor," besides being a man of great ability and high Integrity, antf The Standard voices the sentiment, of this county In rejoicing at his victory. There was no contest over Speak ership of the House, Hon. J. M. Sla ton, of Fulton, being honored by re- election without opposition. Hn. Chas. S. Northen and Hon. John T. Rolfeulllet were also unanimously re elected as clerks of the Senate and House. The first bill Introduced was one for the enactment of a general pro hibition law In Georgia, introduced In response to the growing demand throughout the state for such legis lation. In his inaugural address Sat urday, Gov. Smith stated that he was a local-optlonlst and did not believe that state prohibition was the best for Georgia, but If such a bill should come to him as Governor from the representatives of the people, he would promptly sign it Hon. Felton Mundy, Polk’s able Representative, has Introduced three general bills with the following cap tions: * To make illegal sale of whis key and punish as for a felony when It causes drunkenness.” ' To provide and fix compensation for J. P. court Juries.” "To provide for holding state and county congressional primary elections.” The present Legislature has eclipsed all its predecessors In the number of new* bills Introduced to date. Following nicely in line with our cement sidewalks on Main street, one of tho greatest possible Improvements is the plate glass front movement now so nicely in progress. We hope to see It continue until every business house on Main street has a handsome front. The time is rapidly approach ing when tenants can and will insist that their business houses be made to present a desirable appearance In order to command a good rental. Thrilling llnlloon Kspcrlrnre. Probably no aeronauts have ever sur vived to tell such a thrilling story of their experiences ns Messrs. Glulshei and Coxwell when, tn 1802, they made their rectfrd ascent of seven miles. When the balloon lmd reached a height of 29,000 feet Mr. (finisher records, "I dimly saw Mr. Coxwell in the ring nnd endeavored to speak, but could not, when in au Instant Intense black dark ness came, and I suddenly became un conscious." Mr. Coxwell himself was on the poltit of succumbing to the In tense cold. The boar frost was nil round the neck of the balloon, bis bands were frozen nnd powerless, nnd ns the balloon was still rising swiftly death seemed Inevitable to both aero nauts. Mr. Coxwell despaired of open ing the valve to release the gas. In sensibility was rapidly coming over him. and it was only "nt the last gasp” «hat by a happy inspiration be seized <«e cord with bis teeth nnd "dipped bis be .d t wo or three times until the bal* lu^u took a decided turn downward." The longer a man’s head, the less notice he requires to get It into working order. FOR COUNTY TREASURER.

TEACHERS* INSTITUTE To be Held at Athens Next Week In Connection with the University Sum mer School und Special Teachers* Conference. Hoard to Share the Ex pound of the Trip with the Teachers. At a mceJng of the Hoard of Edu cation held this day the County School Commissioner was instructed to hold I the annual teachers’ institute at Ath ens in connection with the University Summer School and Special Teachers' Conference. The party will leave Ce- i dartown over the Seaboard at 9.26 a. m... Monday, July 8th. Every white | teacher actually engaged In teaching I In the county is urged to attend this ' meeting, and will be paid the sum of ( five dollars for such attendance. This sum will cover the cost of transpor tation, and the registration fee will be paid for the whole party, which will entitle them to all the classes and lectures for the whole four weeks term should they care to remain. The Dormitory fee will be $5 for the one week, or $7 for the whole four weeks. The railroad fare Is only $4.25 from Cedartown, and correspondingly*, less from points east of this place. For any further information teachers are referred to the University Bulletin which was sent you some time ago. We hope to have a good attend ance, although we make this arrange ment for the especial benefit of those who intend In good faith to continue to teach In the county next year; and we shall be especially gratified to ha\9 as many as can remain for the four weeks, which they can do by paying the small sum of $12.50 additional. Yours very truly, J. E.. LOVVORX, County School Commissioner. Cedartown, July 3d, 1907. Permanent Letler of Administration. Georgia, Polk County. To all whom It may concern: James Heaton, having In proper form applied to me for permanent Let ters of Administration on the estate of Jno. R. Heaton, late of said coun ty, this Is to cite all and singular the creditors and next of kin of Jno. R. Heaton to be and appear at my office within the time allowed by law, and show cause, if any they can. why per manent administration should not be granted to James Heaton on Jno. R. Heaton s estate. Witness my hand and official signature, this 1st day of July, 1907. A. D. HOGG, Ordinary. Application to Hell Lands. Georgia, Polk County. Notice is hereby given that the un dersigned has applied to the Ordinary of said county for leave to sell land belonging to the estate of Mrs. L. C. Woozencraft. for the payment of debts and for distribution. Paid ap plication will be heard at the regular term of the Court of Ordinary for said county to be held on the first Monday In August, 1907. This 1st day of July, 1907. D. A. PORTER,.Adrar., Mrs. L. C. Woozencraft, deceased. Pride is what makes a man go hun gry rather than ask for the price of a dinner. It takes a mighty keen sense of humor to appreciate a joke when it is on yourself. Once a man gets on top, he finds It almost as hard to stay there as it was to get there. Justice ’ probably had her eyes blinded by some fellow v.lth a pull who got into trouble. SHOULD LIMITS BE EXTENDED l In a discussion of the proposed ex tension of the city limits between a prominent mill man and another cit izen a few- days ago, It was developed that the mill owners are not as a- verBe to being incorporated as It supposed they might be. The view they take of it seems to be that the mills. In consideration of being left out of the corporate limits and other favors, agreed to not engage In mer chandising—not even catering to the wants of their own employees by means of company commissaries—but to leave all the profits of that bus iness to the citizens of the town. If the mills should now be brought into the corporation, they will feel relieved from this obligation to abstain from running commissaries and can very easily make more than enough, by en gaging in this business, to pay all ad ditional taes reuqlred of them, and a good margin besides. If they should do this, there would soon be plenty of empty business houses on Main street and empty dwellings elsewhere. And this Is perhaps not exactly the "Greater Cedartown” we want. Let’s be sure we are right before we go ahead. Any scheme that is liable to Inter rupt the present steady and healthy growth of our town should be avoided. We are doing nicely now. All contiguous territory that is wanted can be taken in WHEN it Is needed. There is no danger of its being moved away! CITIZEN. A CHANGE IN SUPERINTENDENT. Mr. J. J. Cotter has superseded Mr. R J. Armstrong, resigned, as superin tendent of the Chattanooga Division of the Central Railway. Mr. Cotter comes from Savannah where he formerly held a position In the office of superintendent of trans portation, and has had several years experience as a practical railroader. He will be cordially received by Cedartown people, and will find this point one of the most important on this division of the Central system. Mr. Armstrong has- been here about two years, and is much liked by the general public, our business men and the road’s employees. He was re cently elected a member of the City School Board, and has identified him self with the citizens of Cedartown, investing In considerable property. It is with genuine regret that his resignation will ultimately lead to his removal elsewhere. As an evidence of the cordial rela tions existing between Mr.. Armstrong and the Central employees, a deputa tion from the B. L. E. called Monday morning at his home and presenteflj him a handsome gold-headed cam* expressing their appreciation of his kind and just treatment as employees of the road. Mutual expressions of good feelings made the incident a pleasing one to all parties. The Senate last Friday confirmed the recess appointment by Governor Ferrell of Col. Paul R. Turner, the popular young Solicitor of Polk’s City Court. The Federal Treasury report! surplus of over $87,000,000 on July The semi-annual dividends on v ous stocks, bonds and securities New \ork turned loose over $; 000,000 on July 1st. There was nt a more prosperous period in the tory of this country. Dr. J. E. Pennington, of Esom Hill, spent Monday in Atlanta.
