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.
