LOYALTY TO THE HOME TOWN.
ARE you loyal to your home town? Have you that warm and
generous sentiment that inspires a williness to co-operate in all
public enterprises and improvements? Is there in this community
an affection for the old home town that binds the people together
for common interest? If there is not something is lacking, and
that something is public spirit
It is tin* duty of our people to'stand together in a business way
and keep their money circulating at home.
It is better to depend upon each other, help each other, and spend
our money among our neighbors and friends.
The habit of spending your money within the limits of your
home town has a double purpose. Those dollars will go the rounds
and come hack to us, and then go out and go the rounds again. It
pays our bills and yet we do not lose sight of it. We know that
If we have not got it, some other fellow iu the community has, and
that it will come around again in the course of time. Jones pays
Williams aud Williams pays Hamilton and Hamilton pays the
blacksmith. The blacksmith then pays the grocer and the grocer
pays the butcher and the farmer, and pretty soon those same dol
lars come back when the farmer buys a load of lumber from Jones,
and Jones pays Williams for painting his house, and Williams pays
Hamilton his weekly store bill, and Hamilton takes the old buggy
mare to flit' blacksmith to fie shod, paying for the job with the same
dollar that has come all down the line, paying one person after
another, time and time again, until some less loyal person sends
it away to a mail order house for some article that he might have
bought at home, and thus that dollar has gone out of the community
forever, and with it many other dollars that would have done us a
world of good had we kept them working within the limits of our
town.
Every dollar sent away reduces our community wealth. It is a
drain upon the* commercial interest of this town and reduces our
purchasing power.
As long as every man and woman in this community have dollars
in their pockets the business of the community is good, but let
those dollars be sent to some other city, and ail are at once poor.
We have lost our circulating medium, our good fellowship and our
community interest.
Co-operation made us happy and in easy circumstances, but
when we went out of the circle to get what we should have got
at home the wheels turn less briskly. Sending money out of town
is like throwing a monkey wrench into the generator—it upsets
the whole system of community business.
There is another side to this matter, and one that should be
studied carefully. The citizens of the community owe much to
the merchants and business men of every kind in their community.
They have cheerfully paid their taxes for the support of the schools,
they have contributed to the churches, the Sunday schools, and
every public enterprise, they have paid in taxes for the im
provement of the streets, sidewalks and every other public utility,
and if they prosper they will keep on doing so; but the merchant
in Atlanta, or some other city, who has received our money for
something we could have purchased at home, will never contrib
ute one cent to our community interest nor help us in the devel
opment of our public utilities.
1 herefore, let us all la 1 loyal to our own, and in a brotherly
way take genuine pride in supporting our home institutions.—
Covington News.

1 The production of commercial peach

not exceed 8,700 cars including express

W. G. Graham and Shannon Smith, who
were driving their automobiles happen

For a few moments after the accident
he was unconscious. He was taken to
his home and his injuries were dressed.
