CARTERSVILLE TODAY
I am requested by the ladies of
the Presbyterian church to write
an article to be published in our
home paper. lam informed it is
to be given to them.
I have been given no subject to
write upon, neither have 1 been
informed as to the length of the
article wanted, and if I shall fail
either in my subject or the length
of the article, it will be for the
want of information. One lady,
who is not interested, told me,
after I had explained the situation
to her, that as I was the mayor of
the city, it would be expected*
that I write something of the city.
And taking her advice I shall
write briefly of the past, present
and future of Cartersville.
It is always interesting to me
to talk about our town, and noth
ing affords me more pleasure than
to tell those who are not informed
of our wonderful resources and
natural advantages.
There is a great deal of differ
ence in Cartersville a year ago
and Cartersville today. And
what a greater difference there
will be in another twelve months.
Indeed, there has never been a
time in the history of our city
when our future was half so
bright. We have taken on a
movement upward that will sur
prise the most sanguine in its re
sults, and I shall regret very
much to know that any citizen of
our city would do or say anything
that would in the least retard this
movement. If you can’t say
something good for the town,
don't say anything to its detri
ment. We have the best town in
the South today, and no man can
say otherwise if he has a strict
regard for the truth. Just keep
your eyes on Cartersville for th#
next two years, if you please.
There are some hard licks being
hit and some strong pulls being
made for the city that will begin
to show up shortly. All Carters
ville needs is for her citizens to
pull together. Be liberal in our
dealings with strangers when they
come among us; be sooiable and
let them feel that they are wanted
here, and that we will co-cperate
with them in anything to our
common good. Shake hands with
them like you meant it; a cold
and indifferent hand-shake chills
a fellow all over.
There is positively no reason at
all why Cartersville should not
be, and will be, the leading city in
North Georgia. Situated, as we
are, in the foothills of the Blue
Ridge, at the head of the beauti
ful Etowah Valley, with its broad
acreage of the finest and most
fertile farming lands in all the
South; with mountains on every
side loaded to the summit with
minerals the whole world must
have, and in supply, wholly inex
haustible; a in
the entire South, and the superior
of any section in point of health
fulness; natural resources and ad
vantages positively unclaimed by
•any other city or section. We have
it all— everything in fact—to make
Cartersville both the Lowell and
the Pittsburg of the South. A
waterpower at our door second to
none but Niagara itself. And if
I live my alloted time I expect to
see where I now live a city of
vast importance, known and felt
the country over. Invite capital
here, encourage investors when
they come; deal liberally with
every stranger; don’t expect some
thing for nothing; be fair; help
those who are working untiringly
for the interests of the city.
Those of us who have lived
here for years can see a vast dif
ference both in the sentiment and
the growth of our city in the
short space of one year. Look at
Cartersville twelve months ago
and now. You can best judge
for yourself.
Unity is strength, and if our
citizenship will work together
harmoniously in every effort for
the upbuilding of our city and
the common good of all, there is
nothing under heaven that can
prevent Cartersville from moving
rapidly forward, and maintaining
a position at the head of every city
in North Georgia. Let every
fellow put his shoulder to the
wheel. If you can’t push, don’t
pull back. Let the men go at
things like the women—in earnest.
The women always get there.
And here’s to the good women of
our city. Always for Cartersville,
I am respectfully,
Paul Gilreath.
Those genial gentlemen, Mr.
Bob Maxwell and Mr. Warren
Tinsley, are truly friends of the
ladies, and we rejoice that they
were nominated at the recent
primary for a second term by
such a handsome majority that
we ladies believe that they must
discharge their duties to the
satisfaction of the public.
Neither had Time To Waste on
Fools.
When George Westinghouse, as
a young inventor, was trying to
interest capitalist in his automatic
brake, the device which now plays
so important a part in the opera
tion of railroad trains, say the
Philadelphia Ledger, he wrote a
letter to Commodore Cornelius
Vanderbilt, president of the New
York Central Railroad Company,
carefully explaining the details of
invention. Very promptly his
letter same baok to him, indorsed
in big, scrawling letters, in the
hand of Commodore Vanderbilt:
“I have no time to waste on fools.”
Afterward, when another rail
road had taken up the automatic
brake and it was proving very
successful, Commodore Vanderbilt
sent young Mr. Westinghouse a
request to call on him. The in
ventor returned the letter, indors
ed on the bottom as follows:
“I have no time to waste on
fools.”
When stuffing a fowl which is
to be roasted the stuffing should
be prepared and inserted over
night, for then the flavoring of
the seasoning will penetrate
through the whole bird.
When measuring flour do not
dip the cup into the bowl, but fill
the cup with a spoon after the
flour is sifted. Even the cup off
with a knife. Attention to such
simple tricks as these has a great
deal to do with one’s success as a
cook.
When making a mustard
plaster it is a good plan to use
the well-beaten white of an egg
iustsad of water. If it is done in
this way the plaster will not
blister the skin, thus saving the
invalid much unnecessary pain.
OFFERING SOMETHING!
Not Merely Asking for Something.
The fact that it would be a good thing for us
to get more of your trade doesn’t eliminate the
possibility that it will be just as good for you.
We have prepared, fortified, equipped, and em
braced every facility to give our trade something
—not merely to ask for business.
Quality is pre-eminent. All the arts of ad
vertising, letter writing, re-enforced by fluent
oratory of salesmen, will not make permanent
customers unless there is undisputed quality back
of the articles sold.
Behind every big business there must exist a
good business getting reason, some worthy repu
tation-building, name-winning cause must underly
every continuously successful effort. Quality and
honest dealings are the magic words.
This is the basis upon which our wares and
fabrics stands. Our name must be a sufficient
guarantee to every purchaser, and carry satisfac
tion to every pocket leaving a dollar here.
We find a few people wanting a “special cut
in price.” No merchant can take it off ’till he first
puts it on, and as all sell for & profit, we have
made our margins as low as you or any other
dealer would adjust them, and sell at ONE PRICE
TO ALL. It’s guaranteed, it pleases, it’s honest,
it’s the best way.
Our enormous growth—selling many thous
and dollars more goods than heretofore—enables
us to buy and sell to the best advantage of any in
the business.
We offer you all thatis best and new in Silks,
Laces, Wash goods, Woolens, Millinery, Notions,
Underwear, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Furnishings,
House Draperies, and promise thatyou shall profit
by your year’s trade with us.

TAILORING.
At first a ready-made garment
and one made to measure look
alike, but after a short wear the
Made-to-Measure kind shows its
superiority in every way. It
holds its shape; needs no re
pairs; is more durable, and gives
better satisfaction in every way,
besides costing no more, thus
proving to be the only satisfac
tory clothes.
