Italians.
Major General P. C., Harris, the
Adjutant General of the Army, was
decorated last week with the Italian
decoration of Commander of the Or

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. Harris, son
of General Harris, who was killed in
the World War, was posthumously
decorated with the Distinguished Ser

high compliment paid him.

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.
