THE PEOPLE’S POPULAR PAPER AND THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CARROLL COUNTY
CARROLLTON, CARROLL COUNTY, OEORGIA. THURSDAY, JANUARY 26 1911
Why You Should Bank
WITH THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK
OF CARROLLTON.
The strength of this bank is due to:
(1.) Its Capital of $100,000.00.
(2.) Its Surplus of $100,000.00.
(3.) To the fine character and financial responsibility
of the men who conduct its affairs.
Its Board of Directors are composed of men you know
personally—men who have always taken an active part in
the progress and upbuilding of our home city.
Their experience enables them to perform their duties as
directors in accordance with the requirements of the law.
FIRST NATIONAL BANK
OF CARROLLTON.
There Is A Reason
Why so many small and large firms and corpora
tions patronize this institution. It is because the small
liberal policy applies to all. Our smallest customers
receive the same consideration as our heaviest deposi
tors., and the strong protection and careful safe-guard
ing of all patrons interest make it appeal to the as a
bank “for the people.”

Cleaning-up Day.
Say folks. I tell you what let’s
play like. Let’s get the Mayor and
Council to issue a proclamation
asking, begging, and requiring every
fellow in town who owns or rents
ground, that a certain day in the
future shall be known as “Cleaning-
up Day,” and not only set the day
apart for this but actually and ab
solutely do it.
Clean up your premises. Some
will say this is stuff, mere prattle,
but don’t conclude too quickly.
Who is there that don’t like to see
clean premises, and who does not
dislike to see nasty, filthy premises?
Old papers, pasteboard, tin cans,
and other such unsightly things
scattered promiscously over the
ground makes a place very unbe
coming, and just a little work by
each one would make such an im
provement and render the place so
much more enticing, All this
would be true for the sight, as to
the sanitary good to be gained we
won’t say anything, but let the City
Fathers say in a proclamation that
on the 1st, 5th, 10th, or some other
day in February, 1911; the premises
in Carrollton must and shall be
thoroughly claaned up. Compel
each owner and tenant to devote
enough of the day to cleanse their
premises, then have a half dozen
extra wagons and hands if it is
necessary, to look after vacant lots,
and to haul off the trash, and the
day after Cleaning-up Day a fre
quent visitor to Carrollton would
hardly recognize the city.
Get on some elevated place and
take a look at the back end of most
of our business houses. It will al
most make you weep to see the
ragged, ugly, rough, outrageous con
ditions. Folks, let’s get to work and
clean up Carrollton, and make it
presentable if Pres. Taft and Hoke
Smith should happen to pay us a
visit. Citizen
4 More Pay For R F D Men
After two hours debate Chairman
Weeks, of the postofflee committee,
agreed to accept an amendment by
Congressman Bartlett increasing
the salaries of rural carriers from
$900 to $1000, and it was carried
by a unanimous vote.
Congressmen Bartlett, Adamson.
Hughes and Edwards addressed the
house in advocacy of Mr. Bartlett’s
amendment.
Judge Bartlett, who has consist
ently urged an increase in the car
riers' pay for several years, is hope
ful that his amendment will be
adopted this time.
The Georgians devoted themselves
to showing what a miserable pit
tance $900 a year is as compared
to the compensation given by the
goyemment to other employees.
Judge Bartlett upon the discrimina
tion against the rural carriers, show
ing how very important their work
is, and the hardships they must
face in the discharge of their duty.
He called attention to the fact
that city carriers in many instances
are provided with horses, whereas
the rural carriers must furnish their
own means of conveyance and face
all sorts of weather in traversing
their routes through sparsely settled
country.
Congressman Edwards declared
that he could never vote for an in
crease for any other class of post-
office employees until the rural car
riers obtained j ustice.
