One Year SI.OO Six Mentha Three Mouths THURSDAY, DEC. 22. 1904. Acworth is working for a big cotton factory. * What about the Cartersville News for a Christmas present? Next thing you know somebody in Atlanta will get chadwicked. Make everybody feel good Christ mas. You may not see another. Editoi Bob Walker is making an excellent paper out of The Da las New Era. Now if Japan could only ge Port Arthur in her Christmas stocking. The time is about here when the cannon cracker is mightier than either the pen or the sword. The enterprising newspapers of Ohio and New York are bnsy getting out special Chadwick edi tions. The Adairsville Banner claims Hon. M. L. Johnson as a citizen of that town. Now, what has Cass Station got to say? The Christmas edition of the La Grange Reporter was an attractive paper Evidently Editor Bell knows his business. President Roosevelt now’ threat ens to come to Marietta and spend the night with Steve Clay. Teddy must have it in for Marietta. Here is the way Editor Bob Walker puts it up to them in Dal las: “If you are not doing some thing fur the benefit of Dallas it is time for you to get a move on you —or move out.” Congress will fake a breathing spell, and then all will go in for appropriations and the old flag, which is all right in prosperous and liberal America. . Hon. Gordon Lee is in Washing ton getting into the ropes. He means to be in position to serve his constituents to the best advan tage when he enters upon his official duties next year. The prison commission did not present. Senator W. P. Dodd with a pardon for a Christmas present. His case goes over, and he remains at the prison farm at Milledgeville for at least one more mouth. State Entomologist Newell makes the statement that there will be three million fruit trees planted iu Georgia between November ist and April istnext. —Acworth Post. That statement never touched north Georgia. We have already been there. A Georgia paper announces tha “just now there are many persons seeking admission to the bar.' Same thing down here, and the cost is only fifteen cents. —Ameri- cns Times-Recorder. We had made up our mind that Americus was a dry town. Cedartown suffered a distinct loss when the division headquar ters of the Seaboard were moved last week to Birmingham and the shops to Atlanta. Those insti tutions were valuable adjuncts of the city of Cedartown, and their removal is the cause of much re gret there. Editor J. B. Hunnicutt, of the Southern Cultivator, died at his home in Atlanta Sunday. Dr. H unnicutt was an unique and in teresting character. He was a de voted Methodist, and often preach ed at his own home church. He was an enthusiastic agriculturist aud could talk at great length ou all phases of farming and kindred subjects. His personality gave a distinctive character to the Culti vator and his writings were read with great interest. Till-: NEWS, CAIiTEUHVTLLE. GEORGIA. L6C, ~~ 1904 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. SEED Tt 'll /t i ivi n, experienced farmer has learned that some grains require far differ ent soil than others; some crops need differ ent handling fhan others. He knows that a great deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must be kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mis take made in the spring. Decide before the seed is planted. ‘®e best time to reme dy wasting conditions in the human body is be fore the evil is too deep rooted.
