CEDARTOWN STANDARD
Devoted to the Best Interests of Cedar town and Polk County.
Volume 36.
Cedartown, Georgia, Thursday, Septembei 14th, 1922.
QUIET ELECTION CONGRESSIONAL COTTON EXPORT
Probable Landslide for
Walker and Brown.
And a Big Majority
Likely for Judge Irwin.
The Standard goes to press too ear
ly to give any definite figures as to
the election yesterday.
Tolk has gone overwhelmingly, of
course, for the re-election of Judge
F. A. Irwin— the one race in which
nearly everyone in the county felt a
personal interest.
The county has also given big ma
jorities for Walker for Governor and
Brown for Commissioner of Agricul
ture.
And to the best of our knowledge,
information and belief at this hour,
these gentlemen are the winners in
the race.
In fact, we believe the returns will
show a landslide for Walker and
Brown and u good majority for Judge
Irwin.
So mote it be!

Notice.
An ordinance passed by the City
Council requires all automobiles
driving into Main from Herbert and
Stubbs streets to come to a full stop,
and cars going from Main into those
streets to drive slow. This action was
taken to prevent accidents. Cases
will be made against all violating the
ordinance after this publication.
W. T. YORK, Chief of Police.
SIX days ikali thou labor and do
aU thy work. Ex. sap
Itlr. merchant!
Whether you buy newspapers
and sell them to passersby, or
own big mills and dispose of
their products, you know that
honesty pays; that no sale is a
good sale unless both sides
profit, and that he profits most who serves best.
These axioms have grown out of the experience of
hosts of merchants in every town.
The church is the institution in this town—in every
town—which teaches honesty and truth and mercy.
Without the church business would revert to the selfish,
sharp barter of ancient days.
The churches of this town appeal to every merchant
to support them with time, ability and money.
Wins 25 and Loses 9
During Season.
The base ball season in Cedartown
closed Thursday with a regular
League game between our Cotton Ex
port and the Piedmont teams, our
boys beating the Albamians 5 to 4.
Rainwater and Knowles were our
mound artists, and both teams played
jam-up ball.
We want to hand it to our Cotton
Export team for holding up Cedar-
town honors so well during the
season. They have played good,
clean ball, and have developed two
fine pitchers—Cnmarnta and Rain
water, and an extra good catcher —
Knowles,—who hns an especially
promising future in that line.
Besides these vital mound posi
tions, we have had a good team In the
following players:
1st b.—Jesse Thompson.
2d b.—Colley Hendricks,Gus Cobb,
Jr.
S. s.—Hoyt Thompson.
R. f.—H. N. Monroe.
C. f.—E. M. Whitfield.
L. f.—Clyde Suggs.
Mr. Geo. Epps, Jr., has been Man
ager, and Mr. Emmett Whitfield haB
served ns Captain, and both have
done fine work.
Special mention should be made,
too, of the excellence of the work of
Mr. C. T. Epps as Umpire, his abso
lute fairness and firmness winning the
respect of all. This has been a
pleasant contrast from the games that
used to be played in the Georgia
State League.
Our boys made a good showing in
the percentage of games won—25, ns
against 9 lost. They have furnished
Cedurtown wholesome amusement
this summer, getting nothing out of it
but their own pleasure, and they are
certainly due the appreciation of the
community.

What sinaName?” I

and lucky jewel
BELLE
TDELLE Is one of the many feminine
names which began existence as
a contraction and gained sturdy Inde
pendence until It became a recognised
appellative and Is bestowed without
reference to Its prefix.
Since Belle signifies "oath of Baal,"
It Is easily discernible that It is an
offspring of Isabelle. In the days
when Elizabeth of Halnuult married
Philippe Auguste and suffered her
name to be changed to Isabelle by the
French, It Is hardly likely that Belle
was used, either as an endearment or
a diminutive. But Isabelle became
very popular In royal circles and the
betrothed of Ungues de Luslgnan, who
later married King John, brought Isa
belle to Englnnd.
It was there that Belle come Into
existence and Into consequent vogue.
Of all the contractions of Isabelle—
of which Nib, Ibbot and lb are a few
examples—Belle proved the most pop
ular and lasting.
Belle Is a popular form In this coun
try and Is bestowed without reference
to Isnbelle. France reeogidzes no
such contraction, but Spain hns an
equivalent Bela.
The opal Is the gem . assigned to
Belle. It will; prove a talisman
against.evil, danger, and disease when
worn by her. The evil designs of the
pixie, which superstition claims Is Im
prisoned In the stone, will he power
less against her. To dream of an opal
means success. Friday Is Belle’s
lucky day and 4 her lucky number.
The chrysanthemum Is her lucky
flower.

BlG AUCTION DAY
For Farmers and Mer
chants the 29th.
A meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
was held Monday night with a full
attendance, and it discussed at length
plans for the inauguration of the
Farmers and Merchants’ Auction
Day. The following was unanimous
ly adopted:
On Sept. 29th the merchants of
Cedartown will offer for solo to the
highest bidder various articles of
merchandise such ns hats, harness,
flour, sugar, coffee, tobacco, molas
ses, etc., a full list of which will be
ndvertised in the next issue of The
Standard: nnd on the same day every
farmer is invited to list for snle un-
dor the same terms any article from
his or her farm, however small or
large. It is to be hoped that every
merchant in Cedartown will call on
the Secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce and enter just such arti
cles as he may wish, and at the same
time every fnrmer in Polk county nnd
surrounding territory will list their
products, such as hogs, pigs, cows,
calves, dried fruit, poultry, eggs, etc.
Look for the announcement in the
next issue of The Standard, and let’s
every body in Polk pull together for
one Big Day full of fun and frolic
coupled up with a little business.
Plans are already on foot for va
rious amusements which will add
spiee to the occasion.
Look l'or full details in The Stan
dard next week.

School Work.
“To build" is the work of Kiwanis,
nnd there is no more promising field
for such work thnn with nnd for the
boys of the community.
The Kiwanis Club entertained the
boys of the Junior and Senior clnssei

Thursday evening at the Wayside
Inn, and the hosts nnd their guest*
thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
Timely talks were made by Mr.
Wm. Waddell on the value of a High

ESTABLISHED BY MR. FISHER
FOR PEOPLE FROM COUN
TRY.
Any merchant who makes provis
ion for. the comfort of his patrons is
entitled to commendation for his pro
gressive und patriotic spirit. It is
progressivencss for himself, for it
brings people to his store. It is pa
triotism for his town, for people like
to trade where merchants look after
the comfort of their patrons.
Mr. M. L. Fisher, who has just had
a large addition built to his 5 and 10-
cent store in the former A. J. Rob
erts building, has fitted up a part of
it as a commodious and well-arrang
ed rest room, with modern conven
iences, for his out-of-town patrons,
and this improvement will certainly
find cordial appreciation.
