|; UP TO THE WOMEN
Saturday wo shall see whether Athens really wants
a Curb Market.
- The civic organizations and City Council have
i “done their part splendidly. That is to say, the need
! fora Curb Market was stressed and made so evident
"by'the committee in charge of the movement that City
j Council was induced to designate Broad street be-
* tween College and Lumpkin for the Market one day
Our agricultural agents have informed The Ban-
1 ner-Herald that the men and women of the rural com-
B munities will be here with produce for sale to the
Athens consumer. The enterprising citizens of the
city have subscribed to a fund for employing a Mar
ket Master to mediate producer and buyer. In facl,
j the machinery is all ready for operation. It is now
1 Up to the women of Athens to do the rest.
I If the Curb Market is a success the Athens women
; will make it so. There is no doubt but that Clarke
\ county farmers and those adjoining Clarke are
( anxious to find an outlet for surplus food crops.
| There is no doubt but that a Market of the kind
I planned' here will aid in marketing that surplus
food, —II*’ THE WOMEN OE ATHENS PATRONIZE
IT. If they DO, our market will be a success from the
the jump. If they don’t, it’s ail off. In the latter
event Athens might as well stop talking about "help- •
I ing the farmer.” They’ll have lost confidence in us
and rightly so.*
No one believes, that the Curb Market wlil prove
the salvation of the farmer and business man. It
cannot do it. It will help. Neither does the most
ardent booster of the Curb Market dream that it will
be a big thing from the beginning. However, much
depends on the beginning. W.hether or not that be
ginning Saturday morning will prove heartening to
the farmer depends on the support given.by the Ath
ens women.

MACON’S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
,; All Georgia should join with Mafcon in helping to •
makd the Centennial celebration, which is" to be ob
served in that city May 9, 10 and H a great rucccss.
An elaborate program has been arranged for the oc-
-Casion and the whole city will be dressed in its best.
tV Macon will be one hundred years old on May 9, and
its wonderful growtli during the past century has
’ been most remarknWo. • No city in the country can
boast of more beautiful streets, homes and progress-
, ive business houses. It is an ideal place in which.to
live and one of the best business cities in the country.
Possessing a rich section tributary to its trade area
the morchantiand business men have enjoyed a most
prosperous rareer...
Jllacon is tne home of some of the citizens who have
helped to make history for their state and country.
The late Senator Bacon was u resident of that city. ’
He enjoyCd the distinction of being a leader in the
United States senate, and his record in the highest
councils of the nation ctands out prominently and will
continue to do so for generations to come. It was,
also, the home of the late C. R. Pendleton, editor of
the Macoft Telegraph, the xloan of journalism in the
south. He was an able writer and a man with un
usually strong convictions. His work for his home
city and his state haa proven one of their greatest as
sets. Of thoro living, Harry Stilwcll Edwards, author
and lecturer, is one of the first citizens of the coun
try.
Our sincere interest and best wishes for the success
of the celebration of Macon's first Centennial is ex
tended with'the hopes, that the next one hundred 1
years will bring to that progressive city every desire
its most ardent admirer may have for its future wel
fare. Isi
Do you remember Dan Goldsmith? He established
the endurance piano-playing record by pounding out
ragtime for 48 hours straight. On the other hand,
consider Paderewski. Since last November his fin
gers, by artistically manipulating piano keys, have
earned him nearly half a.million dollars—an average
of $7000 for each of hisTconccrts. Not what we do,
but the skill with which wc do it, is what brings the
fame and big money. Struggle until you can do one
thing, no matter what it is, better than anyone else.
That’s the road to success. We live in an age of
specialization—expert jobs requiring expert men
and women.

tnat war-boom money was salted away by the plain
people. How much? Apparently, at least 7000 mil-
Uons. However, the buying power of the dollar has
been practically cut in,two, so in effect we’re no bet

2$}£ingland has been celebrating the 800th anniversary
of the printing of the First Folio of Shakespeare in
IjBSp.'. The author had been dead seven years when

or fame, only to Jteep the memory of so worthy a

The price of gasolene Is be

country, but so far, in Athens,
the price remains the same,
25c. If gasolene worth 2'ly in
Now York and other i*oints cer
tainly it 1h not worth 25c in Ath
ens. It is raid that rcductionx in
the price of gaHolene has been
brought about by independent
companies. That being true, the
price should lie the same here per
gallon as in other sections of the
country and our dealers should
lee to It that their customers are
not discriminated against by the
oil trusts.

Rabbi Stern, of Athens, will
have the sympathy of a host
of friends over the death of his
father which occurred in Chi
cago this week. Since coming to
this city he has made many friends'
among both the Jewish people and
Gentiles. To Rabbi Stern, we ex
tend our deepest appreciation of
his sorrow' during this time of sad-
itli him and. the members
of his family.
The curb market will be
opened Saturday morning. It is
to be hoped that the undertak
ing will prove a success and
tine which will be profitable t<
the farmers and those who havo
engaged in raising produce of all
kinds for food consumption. For
many the curb market wilil be
quite a convenience and, no doubt,
advantage will be taken of the
mobilization of all country produce
by the citizens of Athens. Those in
charge of the movement have
worked unceasingly for its suc
cess and now that the market has
been made a reality, it is for our
people to give their support if it
is to succeed.
A well known merchant was
talking to me yesterday and
remarked: “It is interesting to
note that whenever a fellow is
'fired’ from a position, the home
paper writes it up as If ho had! re
signed or was to secure a better
position from some other firm.”
That is true in most instances for
the reason that Hie newspaper man
does not want to cause the follow
to fool badly or to make It harder
Im to secure another position.
However, newspapers are 'called
upon to do many things which
would hot be expected of any other
line of business and, many of them
their columns to help boost
tb(? public and enterprises from
•which they never receive returns.
The conversation with tJho Athens
merchant reminded me of an an
ecdote which we read in the Kan
sas City Star. It said “the homo
town i>aper has the following to
say of i.Mr. Jones, who lost his posi
tion:”
“Sir. Jones has resigned ,hls
place with Smith Company to tako
a more lucrative position, which
will he announced later.” His old
boss says; ‘Mr. Jones was dis
charged for Incompetency.” Mr.
Jonts himself says; "I got tho gate
’cause the general manager seen
I was a comer and got jealous.”
