Address all Business Communications direct to the Athens P“Wjah- ing Company, not to individuals News articles intended for publics- tion should be addressed to The Banner-Herald. MAIL ORDER HOUSES The annual campaign of mail order houses in broadcasting their catalogues has been commenced and thousands of these price lists of every kind ot merchandise is being presented to the buying public through the mails. Millions of dollars each year are sent.from the south to such houses which should be kept «t home. Articles advertised by these concerns may be of value and the price may appear cheaper ft the similar articles cold by local merchants, I but invariably the article of merchandise advertised I and Sold for a less price is inferior in quality, and the consumer does not get from it the amount o ) wear and service as would be gotten from a staple Merchandise. Besides these foreign houses have no Surest in the local public nor do they contribute one penny for the support of the state or community n do they invest a dollar in local enterprises or employ anyone in the conduct of their business locally. Every dollar sent to *he mail order houses is gone forever ' more from this section of the country taking it abso- l lately out of circulation insofar as its benefits are ‘ concerned to the section from which it, has been re- ccivcd. , The local merchant is a part of the community; he spends his prof-ts in the upbuilding of the community and supporting civic and other enterprises. He em ploys local help and thin help spend their earnings with the home community enterprises which go to make un a successful and stable commercial condi tion. Even though these mail order housw should offer articles of merchandise for a small marginof price less than that which is offered by the local mer chant, it is a poor investment for the purchasing pu - lie to patronize these houses in preference to home 111 Bearin' mind the home pride spirit and support ~ the iocai mcrchnnt, if you expect to build your city, and have a prosperous community. r A WARM WELCOME FOR NEW COMERS P There is nothing so healthy for a community as for its citizenship to extend a hearty and cordial xuoio^rwn a ii r.cwcomers and strangers, w e no " not inoan bjr that that our people should Bo out of 'their way to welcome anyone wno is not deserving, ( but the new comer who locates in our community either as an investor or an employee of some busi- - ness concern should be shown every courtesy and cordiality possible from our citizens. A pleasant word ora cordial greeting when passingcausethc stranger to feel that he is at home and that some one recognizes him as a human being and nbt as an ^Athens, we believe, has the most cordial and kind- hcarted people on earth. They are more than friendly to the stranger and newcomer and sometimes fh 0 y find that a mistake has been made, but it is bettor to make a mistake in the man than it to-not to speak and be cordial with those who are worthy and deserving new citizens. . ... To make them feel that they are at home and that they are welcomo to the community goes a long way to build your city and ’make for it a better claM of citizenship. If a member of your family should be called away you would want him or h« treated cor- ■ dially and given a welcome by the citizens ot tne community where they might locate.. The same feeling applies to all newcomers <f any community and if wo will remember this when we meet pr come in contact with a stranger or newcomer, and show them that courtesy which is due to all ladies and gentlemen you will find that it will give a boost to vour home town and make for it friends and boost ers. If we have not been practicing this custom, suppose we commence now—it is never too late to be polite. GRADE CROSSINGS ARE DOOMED r - Grade crossings in this state arc doomed and it is believed that within the next few years that there will not be n grade cross'ng over a railroad in Geor gia. The railroads are co-operating in the fullest with the officials—state, county and municipal, to .relieve the traveling public from _ these dangerous crorsings and while it will take time to accomplish the undertaking, yet with perfect harmony on the part of all concerned the elimination of grade cross ings is bound to come in a reasonable time. It was unfortunate tnat in years gone by roads were not built as they are being built in this day and time. Little though* was given for safety and the quickest and least expensive highway was the ^jiurpose ,of those churgcd with the building of roads 08i Georgia. The automobile was not in use in ■Btosc days nor had it been thought of. It was bc- ^Tore the days of rapid transit, these roads were laid , and grade crossings built here and there regardless of railroads or anything else which might be dan gerous. i Practically every railroad in the state has includ ed in its budget for this year hundreds of thousands of dollars for building bridges and otherwise doing away with the crossings. The Central of Georgia '■Appropriated nearly two hundred thousand dollars tor this purpose to be spent this year and next year evil a larger appropriation will be made. At this fate grade crossings are bound to go and in their place substantial bridges and other forms of pro tection will be given to the public for their safety. ~9Ms a mutual proposition and the railroads and plate and county officials shoald see to it that everv gi ;i<ie crossing in the bounds of this state be replaced as early as meh and money can do the work. It is of Rreat importance and one of the first improvementn Which should be msdp by tbe mad. ■ V ^7 r^rn * i ■ vt SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER \\ \ Religious Denominations.

No two individuals have ever been identical pither in their physical ‘or mental construction, and therefore, it is rea sonable to assume that the Divine Creator intended that humanity should arrive at the truth through different processes of thinking and reasoning. Many different and divergent types of human nature make up mankind, yet back of all these differences in detail the ultimate goal remains the same. There are many religious denominations in the world today, all putting forth their fullest effort for the same ulti mate good; the interpretation of the will of Divine Providence and the application of these truths to individual life. The only difference between these denominational beliefs are minor details. Religious de nominations and sects are the outcome of different types of human nature.
