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! FARM LAND BANK Notifications Must be Made by Sept. 25th.

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. fade ttan , -TOO MW*f PEOPLE THir- , -rue cot-1, of HONOR rf A ■ BANK ROLL What sinaName?” I By MILDRED MARSHALL Facto aloof goor name/ Iti hletory/ meaning; whence « woe dtrioedj /|Vi etgntficance; goal lucjry Jag 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. (Copyright by tl.« Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) 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. CEDARTOWN WINS Banner at I. O. O. F. Di vision Meeting.

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.
