Carroll’s Famous Resort

It has been said “There is no
town but has within it the possi
bility of a charming resort. 1 ’
How (more than true of our
own when, within a 5 to 10 min.
utes walk of the hotel land busi
ness center, one finds himself as
in the heart of a lorest- with a
canopy (of green overhead; a
carpet of velvet inviting (him to
a rest; and fountain of living
water ready iced by Dame jNa-
ture herself—at his hand.
What can Piedmont or Porter
or any other resort ofler more
than (shade; pure cold water
(to which countless users bear
witness of its efficiency in reliev
ing many ^physical discomforts)
breezes unrivaled oa these hot
summer days ; and all in a spot
of lorest set down as a diamond
in emeralds in a golden setting
in one of the best residence sec
tions in the best town in Georgia.
Our people come, appreciate,
and enjoy it.
People away want to c®me ;
already many visitors of other
years have gone elsewhere be
cause of lack of accommodations
here. Wthen willflwe be Teady
to receive and entertain them at
Chandlers Park?
Nature has more than done
her part here—now let men and
women do theirs, by protecting,
beautifying enjoying and bring
ing others to its comfort and
pleasures.
There wiil be a singing at 4 :
30 on the second Sunday after
noon in Chandler’s Park.

Carrollton Revivals.
Two Revivals have been in
progress in Carrollton this week

Walker, pastor of the Central
Batist Church began a meeting
there that will continue Thurs

forceful ^speaker and earnest
worker. The services have all
been well attended. Prof. Mullins
has been leading the singing at
every service.
Tuesday night, Rev. Guy,
who has been in the city some
time, preached a strong sermon
onjthe subject of “Choice”, His
discourse was logical and effec
tive. He explained that God
had placed life and death before
every man and given him the
power and privilege of choice.
He showed heaven aod hell in
contrast to each other and urged
his hearers to choose heaven and
eternal life .
Dr. S. A. Smith of Bowdon
was to have preached Wednes
day night, but on account of the
rain they had no service. An ef
fort will be made to have him
preach Thursday night. Rev. O.
D. Fleming has arrived in the
city and will assist Brother
Walker for several days.
At the First Methodist Church
Dr. J, B. Robbius continues to
interest his hearers, drawing
large crowds at 'both jthe morn
ing and the evening services-
He is a forceful and eloquent
speaker. He has the unusual
power ot making the last tho’t
the best and most effective.
The first tho’t he gives in his
discourse is good and the second
one be.ter and the last one the
best of ali.
The singing is good, the new
song books cannot be excelled
and are proving vary popular
with the singers. Prof Hill was at
the organ Wednesday night.
There have been two additions
to date. The meeting will prob
ably close next Sunday night.

building of the county, by all
means you ought to make an ex'

making period in the history of
Carroll county. The farm pro
ducts of Carroll county cannot
be excelled in the state. We have
seen as good corn, cotton, oats,
wheat, and cane grow in this
county as can be giown in the
south. The gourds grow as
long, round and large here as
they do anywhere. The same is
true of pumpkins, and turnips,
potatoes, watermelons, apples,
pears, peaches, and quinces.
The minerals consisting of gold,
magnesia, quartz, zinc etc. are
found in the county. Why not
have an exhibit of these? Our
building materials such as lumber
and granite are unsurpassed any
where.
Let us call your attention to
some of the things that we
might make a specially ot and
exhibit :corn, ground peas,meats
hay, vegtables, fruits, syrup,
poultry, flowers, cows, horseB,
colts, hogs, sheep, houey etc.
The children could take part in
this hair and exhibit a home
made calico dress, a sun-bonnet,
apron, suit of doll clothes, drawn
work, handerkerchief, crochet
work, quilt, shirt-waist, plain
cake, preserves, etc.
The ladies could make
splendid exhibits of lace,
broidery, dried fruits, canned
and preserved fruits, jellies,
pickles., pies, breads, candies,
and a thousand other things
that only they know bow
make.
The merchants and manutac
turers will a&so make* show «f
their merchandise and wares.
Prof. J. S. Travis and his fifty
conn prowring boys will have
their corn urn exhibit.
It is the purpose >®f the man.

Headaches, Nervousness,
Stomach trouoles, Itching Eye
lids, Floating Spots before the
eyes, are all recognized by the
foremost medical experts as
being caused directly by defects
of the eye.

is a registered optician, has had
a wide experience in overcoming
such trouoles with glasses.
Hundreds in our city and vicin
ity will testify to his ability to
do so.
The American Optical Asso

week. This association is purely I
for the good of the optical profes
sion of the United Stales. Dr.
Hamtick is a member, and at
