CHRISTMAS SEALS
AND HEALTH BONDS
A few days ago Health Bonds were
sent by mail to certain ladiee and
gentlemen of Bainbridge. The val
ue of Health Bonds to a community
was briefly explained. By return
mail the following gentlemen aent in
their checks to cover the value of the
bonds purchased:
Mr. E. J. Perry, Mr. Frank Jones,
Doctors Ehrlich A Ehrlich, Mr. Max
Nussbaurn, Grimsley-Davis Drug Co.,
and from Mrs. John R. Sharpe.
The money from the sale of Health
Bonds and Chridtmas seals will be
used to establish a milk depot at the
Bainbridge schools, and to carry on
in the rural schools the modern health
crusade.
In order to carry out the program
which hag been arranged, it will be
necessary to revery person to send in
his or her check for the amount of
Bond. If you do not care tb help out
with this program, please return the
Health Bond at once.
Should the sale of seals and bonds
reach the required amount. Miss
Chloe M. Jackson, Executive Nurse,
Georgia Tuberculosis Association, is
to visit Bainbridge in January. At
that time a Nutrition Clinic will be
conducted and an effort made to in
crease the weight and resistance of
all children who arc ten per cent or
more underweight. Miss Jackson is
an able worker and will accomplish
in two weeks things whic hotherwise
will require years.
If you have not sent your check
for the health bond, either send the
check or return the bond at once. If
you are not interested in the future
of Decatur county there are persons
who are willing to look forward. To
these your Bond will go.
The Parent-Teacher Association
will supply you with Christmas seals.
Use them on your checks whe nyou
pay bills the first of January. When
you send your bills on the first of
December and January, put a Christ
mas seal on each bill. It may bring
results? At any rate, if you use a
sufficient number of them, somebodys
child will have a bottle of milk at re
cess. Wont it be fine to watch the
roses blush on the little ones' cheeks.
Send your check at one. Christ
mas seals stamp out TUBERCULO

Henry Love vs Jennie Love, Pe

1912. I have filed with the Clerk of
ATLANTA. Nov. 27.—Now that
the end of the year is approaching,
and people are beginning to think
about making up their tax returns,
the question has arisen in Atlanta
and in other cities of the South of
the advantages of incorporating a
business as compared with a partner
ship or a sole proprietorehip.
Joel Hunter, nationally known bus
iness counsellor of Atlanta, was ask-
ed today, “What Are the Advantages
of Incorporating?" To the,correspon
dent of this news service; who reach
es thousands of business men thru
the South's leading newspapers, Mr.
Hunter gave this exclusive statement:
“One of the first advantages is the
question of the limitaiton of liability
of the individual as compared with
the unlmted liability of the partner
or sole proprietor," said Mr. Hun
ter. “Also it would seem that now,
with the repeal of the Profits Tax
Act and that the corporation has on
ly a flat income tax of 12 1-2 per
cent to pay, that individuals with
large incomes from business would
impihvc their tax status by incorpo
rating. Businesses with a net in
come of around £40,000 would pay
less income tar if incorporated than
if uncorporated. With a larger net
income the reduction in taxes would
be proportionately larger.
“A rather striking illustration of
this came about recently in the case
of a business conducted as a Bole
proprietorship, with a net income for
the year of approximately 80,000.
The normal and surtax on this busi
ness is over 920,000, which the indi
vidual will have to pay. If had been
conducted as a corporation and it
had paid its president and manager
a salary of £20,000 and had distribu
ted a dividend of £20,000 also, the
total tax to owner of this business
would have to pay would be approxi
mately £10,000.,
“In addition to this, if the. relief of
the limited liability question is con
sidered, the right of perpetual suc
cession and the ease of transferring
evidence of ownership, it would ap
pear to be davantageoua for those
doing business under the form of a
partnership or single proprietor to
consider carefully the advantages of
incorporating."

ATLANTA, Nov. 27.—C. R. Porter

man and his associates, having a cap
ital of £250,000, have reported as
sets of 2,600,000, and that was before
