HEARD & GRACE
VIENNA^ GEORGIA
TO THE PUBLIC
From this date I will quit buying
cotton from the board as I will be-
in future a warehouseman only. The
cause is namely: It cost too much
money to carry a bale of cotton away
from the railroad, then have to haul
it back. Tbep resent cost is as fol
lows:
Sample at present price BO
Hauling to Warehouse 10
From Warehouse back to railroad .15
Warehouse charges 55
Total »1.30
Kind friends who pays this? Lis
ten! you pay it. If this was all I
would stop and say no more, but it
cost 3 days time on account of poor
service to get your bale of cotton out
of the warehouse on account of the
scarcity of labor, aa on account of the
warehouses being full it takes four
men to get a bale picked up and out
ofapiel. I say cut it out.
I will weigh, class and put your
cotton f. o. b. the G. S. & F. Railroad
for sixty cents per bale against f 1.80
it is now costing you. A saving of
one-eight of a cent per pound, not
only this, but I will save you three
day’s interest as weH as loss in weight
for this time to the buyer.
Friends: I know the cotton busi
ness and am telling you facts this you
cannot deny, and more, I will not
keep you waiting all day to sell your
cotton.' I will operate a free automo
bile to carry you and the buyers
twice a day at 9:30 a. m. and 3 p. m.,
these will ban y principle'sales hours
as it is after the opening and close of
the contrpct markets.
Remember I will not buy your cot
ton nnless you so desire then I will
resell it to the first buyer that comes
unless the marketc hanges, at the
samep rice paid for it. I will make
3ixty cents a bale without ever samp
ling and underweighing and save you
time and interest.
This is the time to cut out all ex
tra expenses and handle your crops
to the best advantage to your coun
try and ybursclf.
Do not expose this the South’s
greatest crop to the rain to rot. I
will house and protect every bale of
cotton I weigh.

NEWSPAPER MEN ARE NOT

Atlanta, Ga.—Although American

where, of the essential nature of their
profession to escape military service
or shirk any other duty. All Atlanta
papers and periodicals have furnished

have been extremely difficult to dis

the draft. Without the newspapers
it would have been almost impossible
to put across any one of the four Lib

newspapers the Red Cross, the Y. M.

THE FOLKS AT HOME
By Harry B. Douglas
When the call to arms was sounded,
And the nation went to war;
When the Shipping Board was found
ed .
Just to catch each transport's flaw,
'Twas the folks back home who boost
ed-,.,^,.,.,—•:
Uncle Sam to make a stand;
They are thc^e with bonds and dollars
They are sticking to a man.
The day we left home for training
’Twas the folks who cheered us off;
To "em” 'twas loss, not gaining,
But they refused to count the cost.
When we struck the snags In drilling,
Or the inspectors dropped around,
But. for their faith we’d been, willing
Just, to throw the bucket dowa.
When the malls land semi-daily,
With its packages of joy,
The one th&t is always welcome
Is mother’s letter to her boy.
Far removed from roaring cannon,
Far beyond the bugle’s, eall,
Not heroes crowned with medals,
Justp lain folks giving all.
When we take the front-line trenches
And prepare to go “Over the Top,"
.Twill be their prayers and heartfelt
ardor
That the Bodies cannot atop.
When the battles are all ended,
And laurels of victory we’ll own
We will not forget who won them;
'Twas the folks we left at home.
