The city of Mouticello should have a Hoard of Trade, or some organization to iuduce “outsiders” to locate here.

It appears that a little deal was recently passed up by the city which, if consummated, would have netted in the neighbor hood of $1,600 for the municipal coffers. With a little foresight and business acumen, nc doubt this money could have been saved for the city, whereas it is now being paid to au outside corporation. As Jacksou grows—and it certainly will —there will be more and more little leaks, not chargeable to dishonesty, nor to sins of commission, but principally chargeable to sins of omission. Under our present archaic system it is difficult to prevent such mistakes. What Jackson needs—as does practically every other municipality in the country—is a thorough-going BUSINESS ad ministration, such as is provided by the new commission system. The commission form of government provides for a commis sion of business men rather than politicians. It provides for offi cers whose duties are those of business administrations. Cities all over the country are demonstrating this effectiveness of com mission government. Cartersville operates under such a charter. Dalton has recently adopted it. Why not Jackson? Why not? Would not $1,600 go a long way towards much needed paving and sidewalk improvements? Do we not need every possible leak stopped for a better and a more beautiful city? Wages for Prisoners. Humane treatment for convicts is becoming the general rule and great advances have been made along this line. Instead of look ing on the incarceration as an ex change with society for the crime committed, the advanced position has been taken that one of the main objects of imprisonment is the reformation of the criminal. This idea has taken shape in the discarding of stripes by the upper grade prisoners, and, in some State prisons, of even such diversions as a baseball game outside the walls. The men are being taught that they are still human beings and given an incentive to stand on honor rather than the enforced restraint of iron bars and high walls. But back of ihe convict is his family—innocent women and chil dren—who must bear the brunt of the deprivation of the labor of the natural breadwinner. The stories of the fights with adversity made by these wives and mothers provide the pathos of the picture. To lighten the punishment on the folks at home is looming up as a real problepi for prison reformers to consider. One New Jersey county has un dertaken to remedy the unfortun ate condition. The county prison ers are to be worked on the roads at $1.50 a day, of which the pris oner’s family gets one-tliird, the boarding expense one-third, and the court costs the remaining third. Though $3 a week seems a small sum, it will go far toward provid- r> r-' rnr? and send me your Kodak DC SUKb work to do. Work finished within 24 hours. Films developed, 10 cents per roll.

H - living at 4 Argyle Street, writes:* "I have been bothered with kidney trouble and doctoring did not help my condition in the least. I gave Foley Kidney Pills a thorough trail and they have entirely relieved me of this long standing trouble. I can not recommend thier use too highly.” M.

A convict’s labor is a thing of value to the State far beyoud the cost of maintenance. To divide up the surplus with the family de prived by force of its breadwinner seems a reasonable proposition. FOR BRIDE-ELECT. Included in a eeries of lovely af fairs this week given in honor of Miss Minnie Bailey was the bridge party Thursday afternoon at the home ot Mrs. W. E. Watkins. The rooms were decorated with nasturtiums and gladioli to form a setting for the quarter of an hundred of the mutual friends of hostess and bride-elect. Punch was served by Misses Lucie Goodman and Viola Slaughter. The score cards were cupids ring ing wedding bells. The toasts written to the bride after the games were interesting and amusing. Following this bit of delightful en tertainment, an ice course was serv ed, tiny pink hearts embedded in brick cream and pink and white heart-shaped cakes bearing the ini tials of the bride and bridegroom, carried out the color scheme of pink and white.

She is a charming young lady and accomplished in many ways. “For nearly a year she has been in New York pursuing a special course at Columbia University. “She has scores of friends here in her old home and throughout the county and State, and all join in their heartiest best wishes for her.” “Mr. Wise is # one of the most prominent attorneys in Georgia. He was raised in Henry county, and for several years ably repre sented his county in the State Leg islature and later was our circuit’s distinguished Solicitor General. His friends throughout Georgia are congratulating him on his good fortune. “Mr. and Mrs. Wise will be at home to their friends in Fayette ville after June 10th.” To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine.
