No Pot of Gold
There is no pot of gold at the foot of the rain
bow, nor treasure ship consigned to the dreamer,
but he who gets up and hustles, take a good bank
as his friend and advisor, saves consistently and
all he possibly can—that man is laying the foun
dation for success and the measure of that success
will be limited only by his ability to manage his
affairs carefully ^nd well.
The First National Bank
offers you the facilities of a well managed bank.

Halley’s Comet.
The approaching phenomeon
of the passage of the earth
through the taii of Halley’s Com
et, which is scheduled to occur
on the 18th instant is arousing a
greBt deal of interest among
scientists and astron o m e r s
throughout the world and is
awakening among the uninitiat
ed in the mysteries of the heaven
ly bodies dire apprehensions as
o the probable results that may
follow a contact of our globe
with even so flimsy a thing as
the caudal appendage of one of
these wandereis of the skies.
From a scientific stand point it
is an exceedingly interesting
occurence as no such a thing
has taken place since the dawn
of authentic history and will
afford scientists a lon> desired
opportunity to learn something
of the componeut elements of
comets and their appendages.
Will furnish you First Glass
Brick in any amount from
100 to 100000000.
Poultry Association Assured
As was announced last week
in the Free Press a movement
has been started among the
poultry fanciers of this city to
organize a Carroll County
Poultry Association, and already
a number have signified tneir
willingness to give their support
lo the o-ganization. This Asso-
ciation is for the purpose of
promoting and fostering the
breeding of better poultry in this
county and everyone who desires
to do so may join. There will
be very little expense attached.
A meeting will be held in a
tew days for the purpose of
organizing and ‘we want every
one who is interested to send us
their name and address, if they
have not already done it, so we
‘can notify them of the date and
place of meeting.
The following letters speak
lor themselves:
Carrollton, Ga,, April 30, 1910.
P. F. Brown, City.
Dear Sir;
I noticed your article in your
4-29-10 issue of your valuable paper relative
to organtzing a Poultry Association in Car-
roll County. This 1 believe to be a step in
the right direction and |ask you kindly to
place my name on your list as a booster in
this movement.
Yours for better poultry and more|of it,
and wishing you success,
Respty. yours,
G. J. Gray,
Breeder of S, C. White Leghorns.
Carrollton, Ga., April 30, 1910.
F. Brown, .
Dear Sir;
I noticed your ’statement
in the Free Press in regard to the Poultry
Association.' I think that it is a|good thing.
Push the movement. Respty,
Loyd H. Griffin.
Breeder of Rhode Island Reds.
A short explanation of the Bit<
uation that brings about this re
markable event may be interest
ing to the readers of the Free
Press. In the accompanying cut
is shown the sun which is the
center of the solar system and
around which all the planets re
volve from west to east. The
earth is third in distance from
the sun. Mercury and Venus
have their 6rbits within that of
the earth and occupy the rela
tive positions to each other as
indicated in the diagram, where
“E” represents the earth, “V”
Venus, and “M’’ Mercury. The
orbits of all the planets of our
system, over sixty in all, revolve
around the sun in more or less
elyptical orbits and are seperated
Irom each other by millions oi
miles, and there is no possibility
of their coming in contact with
one another. Halley’s Comet be
longs to our system but revolves
from east to west in a very elyp
tical orbit and one vastly greater
than the orbits of any of the
planets. Its orbit it so great that
while traveling at the rate of
millions of miLs a minute, it
takes about seventy five of our
years for it to make one revolui
tion around the sun. It is now
approaching the nearest Dart oi
its orbitjo the sun and will soon
start on its journey to the re
motest regions. But it so haps
pens that while leaving our re
gions it will pass between us and
the sun as shown in the diagram
and its tail, which is many
million miles long, will for
about three hours fall upon the
earth as shown in the diagram.
Carrollton, Ga., May 6, 1910.
