He favored a serial type of the bouds, as he did in the proposed city bond issue and produced figures which he claimed showed that long term bonds with an issue of $300,000 would require al most double the principal amount as the aggregate amount that would be paid in principal, interest and sink ing fund during the thirty years for which they would run. tie praised the work of the county tax assessors aud said that they had added to the levenue of the county; that they had found where numbers of men had uot eveu given in their poll tax. tie spoke of the violations of the Sunday laws by fruit and soft drink stands ai.d such ought to be made to close up and observe the Sabbath day.

GEORGIA THURSDAY, JULY IS, 1915. THE NEW BOND CALL. “All’s well that ends well," and if out of the little mistakes, the little hindrances and the discussions shall come a realization of the desires of those having the city’s interests most at heart, the securing of sewerage and other needed improvements, even these circumstances will not have been of the most undesirable type. “All things come to him who waits," is the old axiom. “All things come to him who hustles while he waits,” is the new way of putting it. We can’t sit down and benefits come to us automatically, as it were, and of themselves. We must strive for them if we get them. Why can not file citizenry of Cartersville harmoniously work together and get these things that we need? It will be seen by advertisement elsewhere in these col umns that the City Commissioners have called an election for the 14th of August on the question of bonds for city improve ments, the election of July 17th having been called off for good reasons, the most conspicuous reason was to change the form of the bonds called for so as to satisfy any that might not favor the long term bonds, and thus unify sentiment as far as possi ble on the move. Opportunity often makes men, as it also makes cities. If we miss this opportunity we may- struggle in the bogs of inconven ience and discomfort for no telling how many months or years, for each time a proposition is turned down, it makes it that much harder to adopt the next time. We often wait for posterity to do the things that we ought to do and share the benefits. We might bring posterity into co-operation with us and let it share the benefits and burdens. This is what bonds do for us. In the meantime we might have an epidemic of fever that would play havoc with our population and have lasting ill effects running through months, if not ye re. And we are even willing, if need be, that these words may go under the head of “Household Hints.” BIG MEETING STARTS SUNDAY MORNING Rev. Frank Wright, Indian Evangelist, In Charge. The Bam .Tones tabernacle meeting will begin next Sunday morning, July 18th, at 10:30 o’clock and will continue through' the 27th.

Hi BEEN DEAD FOR SEVERAL DAYS Negro Woman Found Dead Near Adairsville Sunday. a negro woman named Hattie Middlebrooks was found dead at her home, the old Tom Addiugtou dwell ing near Adairsville, on Sunday morning. From all appearances and the rather yague testimony of a little child she must have died some time Friday night. The door of her home was open aud she had fallen from her chair with her feet reaching back into the room She had evi dently sat down iu the dooi to get cool and had fallen dead from heart failure. The coroner’s jury brought out the facts justifying this sort of a sup tfesitiou. The little child, a boy tour years old, was found at the home. He was very hungry aud sleepy and had evidently had noth ing to eat and hut little sleep since the death of the woman, who was his grandmother. When asked what he had been doing he told them he had been playing about the house. Friday evening a grand daughter of the Middlebrooks woman and sister to the little boy went to their grandmother’s home from Adairs* vi’le. Bhe early went i.wiy to cook for a family some miles off and left the little boy alone with his grandmother. The Middlebrooks woman was married to a negro named Middle brooks t wo or three years ago hut she was formerly named Pritchard and had been a servant in families in Cartersville and vicinity for years.
