You Will Get Up Early and Go to Bed Late, but You Will Have Had a Grand, Good Time and Will Never Forget It Four Things Will Be Given Tremendous Emphasis • • 1. COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION 2. BETTER SCHOOLS 3. INCREASED FARM PRODUCTION 4. GOOD CITIZENSHIP 1. COMMUNITY CO-OPEItATION Get together and pull together. A BOO STEF, S’ CLUB of live, determined business men, who will lay aside petty self-interest, and work together for the general good, will put this town on the map, and it will stay there. Pull together to make our town more attractive. Pull together and bring ourdioys and girls to realize that in the development of our national resources, in promot¬ ing more scientific fanning, in making better schools, in building better roads, in developing manufacturing enterprises, in bringing in up-to- date methods of merchandising, and in countless other ways of community-building, there are op¬ portunities right in the “old home town” for a career of usefulness such as can not be found else¬ where. 2. BETTER SCHOOLS Ignorance tends to poverty and poverty tends to crime. The majority of the law-breakers and criminals in onr county jail are illiterate. Educa¬ tion prevents crime. It costs less to give a boy a good education and start him on a useful career than it would cost later on to give him a trial and execute him for committing a crime; and the result is more satisfactory. We want our town to have as good schools as can be found in the State. Hon. W. L. Skelton In Carnesville lion. W. L. Skelton editor of The El barton Star was in Carnes¬ ville Tuesday morning on business. Mr. Skelton is one of Northeast Georgia’s prominent newspaper men and makes money in the news piper business.

You’ll only find what you left behind, For there's nothing that’s really new, It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your town, It isn’t your town—it’s YOU. Real towns are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead. When everyone works and nobody shirks, You can raise a town from the dead. And if, while you make four personal stake Your neighbor can make one too, Your town will be what you want to see, It isn't your town—it’s YOUI A Play Tompkins Hired Man A plav of unusai interest will be given in the school auditorium Friday evening The Civic Leag ue is getting up tli > plav and wd use the proceeds for window pro¬ tection for the upper story of me school building.

INCREASED FARM PRODUCTION The empty Market Baskets of the World are com¬ ing to America. Can we fill them? Bring the farmers into clorer touch with the State and the United States Department of Agriculture for the purpose of obtaining expert, practical advice on farm problems, such as Fertilization, Rotation of Crops, Intensive Cultivation, Farm Labor, Farm Management, Marketing, Etc. 4. GOOD CITIZENSHIP If yon respond to the needs of your town with what your town needs from YOU, then no matter wliat your vocation may be, you are, indeed, a good citizen. When a dozen such citizens get to¬ gether they can resurrect a town from the dead and make it an ideal town to iive in. Environ¬ ment creates Tendencies. What is the environ¬ ment of the hoys and girls of onr town? Ideals and Amusements affect Character. Impure water, foul closets, filthy back yards, merchandise unpro¬ tected from flies, affect Health. We don’t want any more Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Diphtheria, in our town. Paint and lime are two of the greatest disinfectants ever discovered. Let us paint up our residences and stores, and whitewash trees, fences and outhouses. It will make a healthier and pret¬ tier town. (Notice Contract of Letting Fot Bridge N jticG is hereby given, that there will be let to the lowest bidder at 11 o’clock A.
