THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CARROLL COUNTY AND CITY OF CARROLLTON
CARROLLTON, CARROLL COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCT. 21,1*09
Why a
NATIONAL BANK
is Safe
The U' S. Government, in granting a charter to a
National Bank makes special inquiry as to the charac
ter and financial standing of the applicants.
Twice a year, or ottener, it sends an examiner,
who makes an examination of all records and business
methods employed, reporting any irregularities to the
Comptroller of Currency.
If you are not already a customer of this Bank we
invite you tc become one.
FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Of CARROLLTON.
Capital $100,000.00,
Surplus $100,000.00
Still Grinding.
Carroll Superior court is still
in session. The Grand Jury
adjourned last Thursday. Their
unusually interesting present,
ments appear in lull in this
issue of the Free Press. Notice
their recommendations as to
some changes in the business
affairs of the county. Seme of
these recommendations we think
highly commendable.

Mandeville that prince of enter
tainers, gave r barbecue to the
ministeis and editors of the city
and their wives, and all the citi

seventy years of age or more.
The gathering was unique,
the dinner was a splendid one,
and the occasion most interest
ing. There were present twenty
three of our worthy and aged
people, whose average age was
seventy-six years.
Mr, Hamilton Hogan, the
oldest person present, was re

manner

grove in the rear of the Mande

Alter the meal, sometime was
spent in pleasant social converse
As we looked upon that vener
able body of men and women,
we thought of the words of the
wise man. “The hoary head is
a crown of glory, it it be found
in the way ot righteousness”
that gatheaing was a glorious
assemblage.
The occasion was thoroughly
enjoyed by all, and will doubt
less be a pleasant memory to
each one ot the honored guests.
Rightcus old age deserves the
respect and kind attention ot
every individual, and is a Dlessed
benediction to any hrme and
any-community, and Mr. Mara-
deville did a commendable deed,
when he provided such a pleas
ant occasion for the aged peo
ple of our city. May they be
spared to bless us with their
presence and prayers for many
days yet to come, and may the
evening of their life be as bright
and beautiful as the summer’s
sunset.
$teal Value
in Jewelry more than any
thing else it is harder for the
amateur to determine than in
most any goods that are sold.
When buying diamonds and
precious stones or jewelry you
have to greatly depend upon
the dealers’ expert judgement
and probity, and all our goods
are priced honestly and fairly
at our store.

Educational Address.
On Thursday evening, Oct,
14, Mrs Walter B. Hill, ot
Athens Ga. addressed a large aDd
enthusiastic crowd, of both stud
ents and patrons, at Mt. Zion,
on the line of education. Al
though the weather was very
inclement, the people ot Mt,
Zion showed their enterest in both
the lady and the subject by their
presence. Mrs Hill is very intel
ligent and wise in saying in he r
lecture that Carroll County is
one of the most prosperous
county’s ot Georgia, She was
also wise in saymg that it {plant
ed too much cotton, that it
would be better to plant more
grains or j crops which can be
harvested by [machinery, rather
than by hand, thereby enabling
children, who otherwise must
help gather the crops, to get
more education.
If the people of Carroll
County will take this [more into
consideration, in a few years, it
would be one of the most
thoroughly educated county's
of Georgia. Mrs Hill is the
widow fo Walter B. Hill, deceas
ed, once President of the Univer
sity of Georgia. She is now the
Presidei t of the “State Improve
ment Club.”

harmful substance and always gives

News Depot.
From a comparative luxury,
the reading of newspapers and
magazines has become an abso
lute necessity with all classes of
the community, most people now
prefer buying the newspapers
and magazines from a newsdeal
er when there is one, to the old
fashioned subscription system
and for the lollowing reasons:
The subscriber must pay in
advance tor a definite period,
oftentimes a considerable invest'
ment. He must risk a remi-tance
by mail and also take the risk
incident to receiving the publica
tion by mail. In fact, he takes
all the chances. If a publication
miscarries, it costs time and cor
respondence to obtain it.
If the pulisher has secured the
subscription by sending out an
elegant initial number and fol’
lows it with inferior issues, or if
the tone, policy or character ol
the publication is altered, the
subscriber is without remedy;
his money is gone for what he
no longer wants, and if the
publisher fails, as frequently
happens, the subscriber either
loses a portion of his subscription
entirely as is served with some,
thing which he does not desire.
When he buys of the newsdeab
er all this is directly the opposite
he has no correspondence, or
risk of remittance, no missing
numbers. When the publication
ceases lo please, he stops buying
I11 all caseB he has his goods
/
before he pays his money. He
pays only for what he wants,
gets all that he pays for and
ieie ves his periodicals in good
condition, without the unsightly
creases incident to their being
sent through the mail, an item
ot importance to all who value
the superb engravings and hand
some printing which character'
izes so many of our leading
periodicals,
Harris & Williams handle all
the leading magazines, and
agents for the Atlanta. Journal,
see them when you want some
thing to read.
Married.
It may be a surprise to the
many friends of Mrs Minnie P.
Croft, of this city, to learn that
on the evening of the 18th inst
at the residence ot the under,
signed she and Mr. Thomas E.
Hughslon ol Pomona, Califonia,
were happily united in 'he holy
bonds of matrimony in the pres
ence ot only a few friends, who
will be joined by the many in
congratulating them, and crown
ing them with very best wisnes.
They will remain here only a
few days, and will then leave
for the west, where at 840 E. 2d.
St. Pomona. California they
will be at home to their friends.
May much happiness attend
them.
