Major General P. C., Harris, the Adjutant General of the Army, was decorated last week with the Italian decoration of Commander of the Or der of the Crown, as a token of ap preciation for his activities during the recent war. The decoration was conferred by the King of Italy, and was presented by the Italian ambas sador, Senor Vitorio Rolandi Ricci. Gen. Harris hns previously been decorated with the Distinguished Service medal of the American gov ernment and the French decoration of Commander of the Legion of Hon or. Captain Charles D.

ROAD BONDS WILL DECREASE RATHER THAN INCREASE TAXATION. That the success of the $75,000,- 000 road bond issue will serve to decrease rather than increase taxa tion in individual counties, is the statement mnde by the Georgia Good Roads Association, which points out three reasons why this is true, and why there should he universal sup port of the bond plan. According to the Good Roads As sociation, counties that already voted bonds and 1 built their portions of the state system will have such amounts refunded to them out of their portion of the bond money. These refunds may be used in retiring county bonds, thus reducing county taxes. Approximately 129 counties in the state will receive a refund under this provision. Counties that have not yet done any work on their portions of the state system will have these roads built for them by the state, out of the. bond money, at no cost to the county. Then, since all state roads must be maintained at state expense, coun ties are relieved of a heavy mainten ance burden on what have heretofore been their most expensive roads to keep up. Tills state maintenance a- lone will have the effect of reduced taxation, and will enable every coun ty in the state to keep the other roads in its borders in better shape with the released funds. The bond plan Is growing in favor all over the state, ns it is recognized us the soundest and most economic way of fim'incing a big undertaking in which the whole state shares ben efits.

ANNOUINCEMENT -TO' FARMERS OF POLK and ADJOINING COUNTIES TAKE NOTICE It is up to YOU this year to run and SUPPLY YOUR OWN FARM, if you ever hope to get out of debt and on your feet again. It is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY that you go on a CASH BASIS, and in order to make your dollar go as far as it will, WE HAVE DECIDED, IN ORDER TO HELP YOU OUT AND ASSIST YOU IN MAKING ONE CHEAP CROP, to sell you anything in the wholesale line that we carry at NET CASH WHOLESALE PRICES We fully realize that every line of business in this country depends on the success of the FARMER, and we are going to do our bit to help you make a cheap crop by selling you everything we carry at wholesale prices. We have, as you know, been in the wholesale business here for the last eighteen years, selling no one but mer chants. We were the first wholesale house in Cedartown. It was through our efforts that Cedartown secured the same freight rates as Atlanta and Rome, which saved many a dollar to the merchant and the consumer alike. In making this announcement we fully realize that we may lose some of our best customers among merchants, but WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT WHEN THEY THINK IT OVER, THEY WILL CHANGE THEIR MINDS, FOR IF THE FARMER CANNOT SUCCEED, HOW CAN THEY HOPE TO? THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE GOING OUT OF THE WHOLESALE BUSINESS, BUT IT DOES MEAN THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO ALL WE CAN TO HELP THE FARMER MAKE A CHEAP CROP,for as we see it,THE SUCCESS OF THE FARMER MEANS THE SUCCESS OF EVERY MERCHANT, wholesale and retail, as well as the Banks and other lines. SO START NOW ON A CASH BASIS, BUY AT WHOLESALE PRICES, MAKE A CHEAP CROP, and you will soon be out of debt, have a nice little bank account, and wear no man’s collar. We are making a great sacrifice in your behalf in making this announcement. If you fail to take advantage of it, you may never have another chance. Notice No. 1. Look for No. 2.
