Now therefore It is resolved, that wo regret that the Federal Highway Officials have not seen their way clear to Join in making the Highway from Cedartown through Rockmart to the Paulding county line the next link to be constructed. Frank Howard's Death. The lute lamented Mr. J. Frank Howard was one of the Club’s most valued members, and the following resolutions were unanimously adopt ed by a rising vote:— Mr. President and Fellow KiWan- ians: Your Committee appointed to draft resolutions in connection with the sudden death of our beloved member and brother, J. Frank How ard, report that they requested Mr. Charles Adamson, a member of the Committee, to draft and read the Resolution. Mr. J. Frank Howard came to the Cedartown Cotton Company over 23 years ago. At that time he filled the humble capacity of marking cases at a small wage. He at once attarcted the attention of our then Treasurer, lion. Thomas Adamson, who by coun sel, example and affectionate help, incited Frank Howard to develop his latent ability. He was given a short leave of absence, studied bookkeep ing, did everything, by study at home and away from home, to fit himself for any position that might open to him in the office of the Com pany. He made a point of familiar izing Himself with every detail of the work,— was not a rule-of- the-thumb man who only did what he thought was his special work, or who left his work before the whistle blew. He was ready and willing at all times to do anything and everything; the result was inevitable; step by step he was advanced; his salary raised; he was given full control of the books of the Company, was made a direc tor in all the companies and for the last 16 years or more, ever since the organization of the Cedartown Cot ton & Export Company, Mr. Howard has been the Comptroller of the Company, one of the most important positions of trust in our company. He never stopped improving himself. At the time of his death he was a capa ble, expert accountant and office manager with a salary commensur ate with his ability, and a steadily in creasing future. During the more than twenty-three years he was with me his character was equal to, or greater than, his a- bility. During all that time there was nev er a misunderstanding in his work; he lived in an atmosphere of co-op eration, harmony and love, and more than did his part to promote those qualities. To my honored father, he was like a son; to myself a beloved brother. 1 have never heard him speak ill of anyone. In the community the same quali ties that endeared him to his busi ness associates made him prominent in his civic work. Active and a lea der in the church to which lie was devoted, nnd in which he served in many capacities. A councilman, trying to do his duty to his city, a member of the Board of Education. In office, pub lic or private, helping everyone who appealed to him, with money and his efforts, therefore Resolved, that the death of J. Frank Howard is n great loss to the community in which he lived, to his business associates, and to every in dividual with whom he came in con tact; a void made by he nhscnce of an affectionate nnd faithful friend, the depth and meaning of which it would bo hurd to measure. Resolved further, thut besides his fidelity to his work, and to his every rclution in life, public or private, he possessed u disposition which enabled him to prevent or clear up misun derstandings and preserve amiable nnd efficient relations with everyone to earn the confidence, respect and love of all. Resolved, that a copy of this state ment and resolution be sent to the family of Mr. Howard, nnd a copy given to Mr. Adamson, who wishes to insert it in the minutes of his Com pany.

All ure cordially in vited. The Polk County Medical Society meets tonight at 7 o’clock at the City Hall in the City Recorder's office. RESUMES MINING Mr. R. D. Davis, one of our hustl ing iron men, has resumed mining op erations. While this is hand-work only for the present, it is an indica tion of u revival of business surely on the way. The iron industry is one of the most reliable business barometers in the world, nnd this evidensc of re nowed activity is most gratifying. The call for the annual convention of. the Farmers' Union of Georgia has been issued by President J. II. Mills, to meet in Macon on Feb. 8th nnd 9th. One of Frunk DuPrc's attorneys developed a here toe, so his case was with whom he came in contact so fu^ljytponed fym Tuesday until today. Now Serving. HOT CHOCOLATE, TOMATO BOUILLION at the PALACE TEA ROOM. A Warning. Our rule is to throw unsigned let ters in the waste basket, for the an- onyrtidUS' letter-writer is usually a cowardly skunk. The following,how ever; needs publishing if there is any basis of truth in it, and we believe our readers will approve our course in presenting the following letter to the public, as the writer evidently does not belong to the class referred to. .The objection to publica tion is. that it reflects on innocent as well as guilty men, for very 'few taxiSdrivers an probably gtiilty of such misconduct, and it would be easy for fcnSone to get private cars mixed up with service cars. If the . write? actually knows of anyone — taxi driver 'or otherwise —who is guilty,-/xf’rtaking young girls on suoh trips, it Is his duty to present them to the ( ,{»rand Jury. Some of the drivers . we know challenge investi gation. . Here is the letter:— ;'*<3*tia'rtown, Jan. 24th. 1922. RU.- Standard: I am sending you a fm/t’ words hoping to see it pub lished on the front page of j our pap«. I am giving warning to the parents of the young girls, especially the young school girls. When your daughters ask if they can go to the show, be sure they are at the show. I know several of the taxi drivers pick up young girls on the street and take them out to meet men. I live three miles in the country, and these men bring regularly the young girls to my grove and pasture; bring them out to meet young men, and coma back later and get them. I had a young man come to my house and stay a few days secretly to get the names of these men and girls. I have all the names and intend .to carry them before the grand jury if it is not stopped. These taxi drivers bring some of lowest class out to my farm and some of the highest and respectable class girls, too. I do not enre to sign my name, but the taxi drivers will know who it is when they read this. I hope you will publish this for a fair warning. ** Buy it in Cedartown.
