J. N. JOHNSON
Memorial Day in Carrollton
There is no class of her citizens
that Georgia delights to honor more,
and holds in more grateful rememb-
erance than the surviving heroes of
the “Civil War,” the men who wore
the gray—unless it be the heroic
wives and daughters, who so brave
ly endured hardships and rendered
such splendid and unselfish service
duri ig that trying period of our
country’s history. It was highly fit
ting therefore that such a large
gathering assembled in Carrollton
last Wednesday “Memorial Day”„to
do honor to the dead and to the
living Confederate J veterans.
The exercises at the Court House
were most interesting, the Address
by Rev J. M. Dodd was instructive,
the music by the A & M band was
inspiring, the march to the ceme
tery and the decoration of the graves
of loved and honored heroes was
impressive, and the whole occasion
was one which is calcuated to deep
en |one’s love of country, and in
spire with pariotics [motives.
The U. D. C’s deserves high praise
for the work they are doing in gath
ering “and preserving* the facts
of history, and handing down to
prosperity true records of the times
when passion ran high, and much
was said both North and South, that
sober reflection, doubtless, would
desire to be buried in oblio on.
Thanks to a beneficient Provi
dence, we are a united country once
more, knowing no North, no South,
no East, no West, and we honor
the heroes on both sides of the “War
between the States. ’ the men who
honestly be ie/ed th?y were right
and were fignting tor principle, for
liberty,"for country.
“Oh if there be on this earthly
sphere, /
A boon, an offering heaven holds
dear;
Tis the last libation Liberty draws,
From the heart that bleeds and
breaks in her cause.”
Let us by all means keep up the
good work of preserving the true
facts of history, of honoring the
dauntless heroes of the Confederacy
and their devhted wives daughters,
and yet with bitterness to no sec
tion and good will to all men every
where.
Our County Fairs
County fairs are worth the time
and money. Like advertising, it is
sometimes hard to count the actual
returns from these agricultural ex
hibits, but they bring the goods.
Mark that the county with a well
established fair of the classy sort is
invariably of the highest class. Its
farmers are of the best, its live stock
is of the finest, its attitude toward
progress and the outward evidences
of progress displayed give it distinc
tiveness and place. Note that every
county where a good county fair is
an established institution shows
better live stock, more interested
and more successful farmers than
its fairless neighbors.
The greatest value of the county
fair is its stimulating effect on the
agriculturalists who attend and sup
port it. It is more than a man
ifestation, it is an educator, a stim
ulative, a tonic effect. It makes far
better farmers, far greater production
finer and more valuable stock, more
corn to the acre, more money in the
bank and in circulation, fewer mort-
ages, and a higher citizenship.
The j resent is the era of the farm
er, He is receiving more consid
eration and attention than ever be
fore, and he is being looked up to
and envied by the city man. In the
awakening all over the country, the
part taken by the county fair should
not be overlooked. They have done
much, not only to interest the city
man in farming, but they have inter
ested the fanner in better methods
of cultivation and in better horses,
cattle, sheep, hogs and live stock of
all kinds. The farmer has visited
these county fairs to receive inspir
ation that has induced him to breed
up, with the result that he ..receives
more for the same effort. He also
derives lessons of better livmg for
himself and family, and anything
that makes life on the farm more
attractive makes the farm more val
uable, and life a constant joy.
Carroll County Civic League
We desire to direct attention to
the ‘ Carroll County Civic League,"
an organization recently launched,
and calculated to accomplish splen- j
did results in the way of the devel-!
opment and upbuilding of Carroll 1
County. A most interesting and
helpful meeting was held last Sun
day afternoon at the Methodist
Protestant Church, at which quite a
number of spirited addres;ei were 1
made on the topic of “Medical in
spection of our schools.” It is ex
pected and urged that every good
and patriotic citizen of our county
unite with the League, and s ind a
helping hand in the (good work it
proposes to do. ,
The object of the League as set
forth in its constitution is the phy
sical, moral and social betterment 1
of the whole county [There is an un
told amount of good that can be ac
complished along this line, if the
League is only backed by the unit
ed efforts of our good men and
women. There >,is a place
for it, and a large work for it to do-
