AT THE CHKISTMASTIDE.
The Cartersville News wishes to return its sincere thanks to
the people of Cartersville and Bartow county for the very liberal patron
age awarded this paper during the year now drawing to a close.
With the opening of the new year the News will be established
in its new home, and with greatly imi proved facilities it hopes to be in
position to better serve its patrons than ever before in the history of
Cartersville journalism. This paper has long labortd under the serious
handicap of haviug its machinery scattered, and this handicap will
happily be removed when the new quarters are occupied.
It is a big job to move a printing establishment, and get every
thing in working order again, and for this reason we may not be able
to make such a paper as we wish for a few weeks, but when we do get
things straight we hope to give to the people of Cartersville and Bar* l
tow county a model weekly newspaper. We hope to give them all the
news cf the city and county, and to render such service to the com
munity as may be rendered by a clean, progressive and broad-gauged
journal.
Again thanking the public for the excellent business enjoyed by
the paper, we wish one and all a merry Christmas and a happy new
year.
FARMERS SHOULD HOLD THEIR COTTON.
The movement of the farmers in the cotton belt to hold their cot
toh for a reasonable price is one that should be viewed with approval
by all who have the general public interest at heart.
The present low price is a fictitious one, not due to the great eco
nomic law of supply and demand, and the speculators should be taught
a lesson when trying to get their graft in on the farmer.
The N Ews feels gratified to see the farmers of Bartow, always
among the foremost in movements tor the country’s betterment, so
earnestly and practically interesting themselves in this matter as shown
at their meeting last Saturday.
There is this point to consider in the premises, that justifies all
present action. Cotton having reached about the lowest prices under
conditions that obtain or are likely to obtain, the farmer hazards noth
ing by holding back what he has. But the ablest minds think it means
better prices, and the movement is general in the south. Now let
planters all stick to their resolutions.
Woman I s Society
CARRIE GARNER JONES.
The press pens, especi ose of
the women, have been busy this
month, urging the holidays buyers
not r<> bfe profligate in their provision
of gifts. The cry is, do not let the
false spirit of gift—giving ride rather
than the true. This scribe is not a
pessimist, neither is she the person
to take tin* minority view of subjects
under discussion. But in this in
stance she is forced to say there is a
great deal of printer’s ink wasted on
this subject. The caution is against
our buying beyond our purse, of our
feeling compelled to give just because
some one lias given to us and of our
endeavor to return, no matter what
our means, the money value of
the gift sent us. All this sounds
wholesome. But is it a necessary fid
vice? Where there is one generous
soul who may, err in her generosity,
there are the ninety and nine who are
looking out for that all important
personage, self. The world is not
looking toward how much it can give
away but how much of the good
things of life it can take to its per
sonal pleasure and comfort. The
danger signal should, we think, be
not so much against the over giving
as for the appropriateness of the
gift. The holiday gift should be
modified to the holiday remembrance
and wherever possible, the unexpect
ed. We have heard of the man who
gave his wife a box of cigars for a
Christinas present, and of the woman
who returned the compliment with a
set of furs. This is a parody on giv
ing. We should select with the eye
of personal privilege; our gifts should
be something which the recipient
alone enjoys. Then it should con
form to her taste a late book perhaps
for the literary woman, but never a
bock for the women who spends her
time among her flowers. Each gift
should bear its message of individu
ality. We all know the pleasure of
receiving the Christmas package.
And we all know too, that the pleas
ure is felt even before we see the con
tents of that package. This is the
proof that the happiness is more for
remembrance than for intrinsic value.
As simple as the contents may be.
the tissue tied in red with the holly
and the mistletoe thrust into the
ribbon knot carries with it the meas
ure of pleasure. Thus, we plead for
the generous Christmas giving, the
generosity of number rather than of
pretence, the thought for others
rather than for self.
It is a false spirit of the Christmas
tide to send a gift because one has
been received. The watchword of
the Christmas folks is, “It is more
blessed to give than receive.” The
one who thought to remember us
found reward in his giving, and we
should And ours likewise. I’nless the
heart says give, the gilt should never
be sent. Yet callous, in leed, is the
heart who does not respoumt and who
is not eager to create a return pleas
lire for tlie one received.
The money value should not enter
into the holiday exchange of presents.
Remembrance, appropriateness and
daintiness should guide our gift giv
ing, and the heart that is not grate-
ful for this is not worthy the thought
bestowed.
Mr. uml Mrs. Frank Pruden, of
Dalton, are tli - guests of Mr. and
Mrs. J. P. Anderson.
Mr. and Mrs. John Simpson leave
today for South Carolina to spend the
holidays with the former’s mother.
The Christmas spirit is already
abroad and the first evidence of it to
arrive at the home of this scribe
came in the form of a Christmas tur
key which was sent up this week
with the compliments of our affable
uiarketman, Mr. James Fink. This
was a thought from an unexpected
source and an appreciated courtesy.
Cards were received this week to
the wedding of Mr. Edward *Dwelle
to Miss Fay Ross, of Charlotte IN. (\
Mr. Dwelle has many friends here
where he formerly resided, who are
greatly interested in his future hap
piness and welfare. He is a nephew
of Mr. J. P.Anderson.
It is a source of regret to the friends
of the Misses Crouch to learn that
they will not return home for Christ
mas.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Jones and
children leave today for Dalton to be
with the latter’s parents, Dr. and
Mrs. W. F. quillian, for the Christ
mas holidays.

grains require far differ

some crops need differ

He knows that a great

must be kept enriched.
No use of complaining
