examples of the jeseler’s art off=
ers an exceptional opportunity to

brooches, pins etc. Our prices
offer also another great induce
ment and as our guarantee is
back of every article sold, you
cannot go wrong.
Which Shall It Be?
Shall Carrollton continue to
be known over the country just
as a little country town, or shall
it be known as a live, up-toidate
hustling city?
Citizens of Carrollton, it is up
to you ! You are the ones who
will have to decide the destiny
of your town,, your business,
your homes, and it we do not
all work together in harmony
we will never get the new Post
Office Building.
Twenty,five years ago Carroll'
ton could well do without a Post
Oflire Building and tree city de<
livery of the Jmails. She wa
then but a struggling town that
has since grown by leaps and
bounds into a city of no small
dimensions; beautiful brick
churches, school houses, busi
ness blocks and modern resi
dences now stand where then
were only small wooden build*
ings • we have an up'to-date
sjs.em of waterworks and sewer
age, a model fire company,
electric light and telephone com
panies, macadamized streets,
manufacturing plants have been
located here, the city limits have
been recently extended, and last
but not least the population has
increased accordingly, all of
which demands the new Post
Qflice, and every citizen can
help procure this by a more
liberal patronage [of the office
during the next four mouths.
We have only to increase the
total' receipts of this Joffice to
$10,000 for the year ending
June 30, 1910, just $2,o;o more
than they were last year, and
the postal authorities will give
us the free delivery.
If every business firm in the
city will buy a years’ supply of
stamps or stamped envelopes
from the Post Office (a number
have already agreed to do this)
during these next four months,
and others who may not need
as many will buy 50c or 1.00
worth of stamps, without doubt
the required amont over last
years receipts ($2,oco) can be
easily raised by June3oth.
At the Board of Trade meet
ing Friday night this matter was
brought before that body and a
committee of three was appoint
ed to investigate and report on
same at the next meeting. If
the committee calls on you wiil
you assure them of your support?
If you have the welfare of your
town at heart you will do all in
your power to help get the Post
Office. Any town that is not
good enough to take a pride iu
and work for its betterment is
not good enough to live^ in and
we would leave such a town.
We are proud of our county and
town and take pleasure in work
ing for their welfare. It you
feel the same way don’t be
backward about letting it be
known but go to work at once
and let’s get the Post Office.
Railroad For Bowdon.
The petition of the Bowdon
Railway Co. published in this
issue of the Free Press will be
of interest to our readers, and
especially those living in the
western and southwestern parts
ot the county who have so long
felt the need of a railroad.
It is rumoied that the proposed
road will run from Bowdon to
Mandeville or Bremen.
Why not make it from Bow
don to Carrollton ? We are
better able to help finance the
road than either ot the two pro
posed towns, and the charter
which they are seeking will
allow them to come here. Fol
lowing is a section of the ap
plication for charter we refer to:
"4. Said road • will run from Bowdon,
Georgia, in said county of Carroll in an
easterly direction to some point on the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway in Carroll county,
Ga., or to some point on the Southern
Railway in Haralson county, Georgia.”
We trust that the Carrollton
Board of Trade will take this
matter up as soon as practicable
as a road from Carrollton to
Bcwdon would be of great
benefit to both places.
Mr. Frank Bass Dead,

er prominent and highly esteemed
citizen in the death of Air. B. F.

manner and courteous attentions to
all with whom he had dealings won
for.him many warm friends who
will miss him in the social and busi

the family circle he will be missed
most because o c his devotion to
relatives and especially to his own
family, the sorely bereaved -wife

warmest sympathy.

the Methodist church and will also
be missed from that communion.
