FEW OLD TIMERS
ARE STILL ON JOB
We have the best advertising
medium in Brantley County and
the sooner that Brantley County
merchants learn that it is essential
for them to partonize their local pa
per in order to be patronized by
the local people the sooner they will
d > a bigger and better business.
Don’t ask the county citizens to
trade at home unless you patronize
the county’s best local enterprize
it newspaper.
We often meet up a distinguish
individual who has been in this or
that location for a number of years.
This fellow does not need any ad
v -rtising, the people know he is
there. They know that he and bis
stock of goods are among the first
in that section. They know that
his dry goods are out of date, tnat
his groceries are as old as he is, and
that the only thing he ever kept up
with was the advancing price, that
he wculd sell his old stock of goods
at the same price that they can buy
fresh goods at, and they know that
they cam find him at his old stand,
and if they don’t know this, we ll
tell them that he has time enough
to take a nap between customers.
Now you know how to argue one
side of this proposition, and we
know you can, because we have
heard you arguing it, so now think
of these facts that we have put in
front of you and you will find that
they are true.
If a merchant of this kind ever has
the audacity to say anything to any

one of our readers about not pat
ronizing him, they can inform him
that they believe in the adage of
patronizing home industry as much
as he does, then to prove that they
can ask him how much advertising
space he uses in the local paper.
We are living in a progressive
time and Brantley County has a
few progressive merchants who try
to keep abreast with the time They
keep good fresh merchandise and
they are not a shame to advertise.
That is the place to traie.

BIG STRIKE NOW
THREATENS U. S.
The people all over the country
are all wjought up over the threat
ening strike, which involves from
two to four million railroad work
man.
A statement issued by the rail
road heads on Oct. 25 advised that
the strike would probably be settel
ed, and advise the people not to talk
about the railroad or the unions.
The people in general know noth
ing about the conditions which
causes the strike. Yet the public
sympathy seems to be with the
road officials.
The public in this case as well as
all others, have orly got one side of
die affair. No daily paper has ever
printed in their columns and told
of any incident where the union
men tried to reach an agreement.
Rumors has it that the workmen
would willingly accept a reduction
in wages if the railroads would re
duce their freight and passenger
ra tcs.
Under that condition the public
which has repeatly expressed it
self as being against the brother
hood, have not injured tLe work
man more than they have them
selves.
Mr. W. R. Stewart called at the
Banner Office on Thursday and
looked over the plant. He express
eel his opinion on strong drink as
being a very unnecessary article to
the human race and stated that if
nothing stronger than cane juice
was used that this would be a veiy
desireable world to live in. Mr.
Steward also dislikes tobacco in any
form and he seemed very much in
suited when we offered him a smoke

Elsewhere in the Banner will be
fomd an adveri-cment in which the
citizens of what is known as the
Thomas settlement have gone to
gether and signed a petition for the
changing of the boundary line of
Brantley County
After looking their petition over,
we are convinced that it represents
the entire population of that set
tlement and they are desiring to
cut off a small neck of land, which
we are informed extends accross the
railroad beyond Slattersville.
These petitioners in a consoladat
ed body will ask the Grand Julies of
Brantly and Ware for the change
and in as much as the settlement
is not satisfied to remain in Brantly
Chunty, we can see no reason why
they should not be allowed to go
05er to Ware. We wish them suc
cess.
