AMERICA'S NEWEST PLAYGROUND
The call of the south is attracting people from all
sections of the nation. Its climate, resources and
undeveloped opportunities are bringing home-t^ek-
ers and investors from other states and soon the south
will be the garden spot of the country. , i
Paved highways is one of the chief agencies for
the development und growth we are experiencing in
the south. Paved highways enable people to travel
and See for themselves the advantages possessed by
the south. It is a new country is.development;, us
lands are fertile and adaptable to use for crops of
nil kinds; its waterpowers are plentiful and hold cut
/inducements for development.' It is the coming sec
tion of the nation and within the pe*t few years, the
south will be a harvest field forjthe invtator. t ■
Tiw greatest trouble the south has experienced has
been from the lack of appreciation by the home pees
pie. They have not realized the importance and
value of tnis section. Opportunities lie idle-here and
few accept that which has been deposited by, nature
awaiting the coming of the develdper. Those who
can sec into tue future are taking advantage of the
resources so bountifully provided and are reaping the
benefits. This is an age of development and one in
which we must go forward instead of- backward.
Tne next lew years will see the greatest outlay of
money in the history of the south in agricultural and
industrial development. It is coming fcnd those who
strike first on tne road of progress are bound to
profit. Let us send out the cull announcing our as
sets and our resources; it will be answered and an in
flux of home-seekers and investors will respond to
the call. The time is opportune; immediate action
should be taken and results are bound io follow.
NEWS FOR THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS
In the columns of the Banner-Herald will be found
the latest apd most reliable Christmas' shopping
news. The merchants have provided large and va
ried stocks of merchandise priced reasonable and of
the very best grades and quality. It is only thirteen
more shopping days and the early purchasers will
reap the benefit of the pick of the stocks and avoid
the rush that is bound to come during the closing
days of the holiday buying season.
Never before in the history of the city have the
merchants offered greater bargains than is now be
ing displayed in the stores throughout the city,
v Every attention has been given.to selections and the
people here and surrounding sections are indeed for
tunate in having such an array of merchandise from
which to select their Christmas gifts.
Every prospective purchaser should scan the adver
tising columns of the Banner-Herald;with.much care
select that which they desire and then visit the stores
and be prepared to make purchases without delay
for themselves and hindrances to the clerks. Time
and money can be saved, if this system is foiowed and
attention given to the articles desired. A ready sale
on the part of the clerk means much during the busy
season, to not only the clerks and proprietors of tKe
stores, but to every shopper. The Average shopper
ia a busy person and by informing themselves through
the columns of this paper their shopping- can be ex
pedited and completed in much less time than ia or
dinarily consumed when not acquainted with the
stock of goods carried by the various stores.
Inform yourself and be prepared to shop when
ou enter the stores and you will find it to be much
re satisfactory than to visit around on an expedi-
*,°ur without a fixed or definite purpose of what
Itand your Banner-Herald tonight and to-
ovAnmence your Christmas shopping. It will
j time and money and prove satisfactory in
ay.
;* THE SWEET POTATO INDUSTRY
recent years the sweet potato crop has increased
’ in value and each year larger shlpmenta are made to
all sections of the nation. Until a tour of the North
was made some years ago, few sweet potatoes were
sold outside of the southern states, but after the em-
nusanes of the sweet potato growers had returned
from their demonstration tour, the people in the
northern states commenced buying the great southern
product. On this trip, sweet potatoes were cooked
and served m the various ways typical it the people
•rf this section of the country which proved popular
,...th the people who had never acquired a taste or
| desire for this wonderful food product. The follow.
