Look Out for Yourself
Do not let others get every cent
of your hard earned money. You
owe it to yourself to retain part
of your income, and if you do
not you are working for the ben
efit of other people and not your
self. The people to whom you
have so good naturedly uanded
over your money will not help
you in a crisis. Depend upon
yourself and let others do the
same. 1

in Carrollton will be sold at only
$34.00, but will be unlimited in time

What a Chautauqua Means Tp
Carrollton
Carrollton has many of the beet
things on earth -High attitude, fine
water, salubrious climate, beautiful
scenery, thrifty population, vigorous
business interests, steady growth,
exceptional houses of worship, the
fewest mean people and more good
folks than one can find elsewhere lin
a town of our sifee. Still wq . nqed
some ojjicr thiugs, Should pause -a-
whild to she what the ; rest' of the
world is about, so prosperous
and so much-ih dove with ourselves
that we may lose the added impulse
; of other peoples ideas. The world
is moving, men are thinking, and
there are these who devote them
selves to the worthy subject, of
making the world brighter and the
mind freer from ks narrow notices
of-life. The man' that makes me
laugh is a benefactor, the man who
makes me think is an emancipator.
The Chautauqua movement was
born of the desire to minister to
men in the matter happiness, and to
help force the human mind from a
provincial spirit of self central deg-
gregation. The Chautauqua has a
fieldof its own—it antognizes neither
home, church, nor school, but ma
terially aids each of these institution
in the discharge of its sacred duties
while it generously shares the bur
dens of all. Also the Chautauqua
is a great commercial boon to a lit
tle city like ours. The annual Chau
tauqua has made the name of Al
bany a household word all over
Southwest Georgia, and has largely
contributed to the growth of that
enterprising city. We can make
Carrollton the Chautauqua town of
Western Georgia. The field is open
the opportunity is ours- today! Shall
we sit supinely still and let a more
thrifty neighbor take away our
birthright? Carrollton can soon
fasten to herself as by hooks of steel
e>ery community in all this section
of the state. True we already occu
py a most enviable position among
Georgia towns in the matter of com
mercial territory; but railroads are
being increased, new ideas and bet
ter methods are gaming recognition,
and the people will not be just the
same tomorrow as today. Our fathers
went in ox-carts and were prosperous
as the distribution of land in our
county testifies; we are riding in
automobiles, and our children will
sail in air ships.
Christians are often perplexed
about the question of amusements
what kind shall we encourage?
—The Chautauqua comes to the
assistance of the church in the mat
ter. To denounce all amusements
is as fatal as foolish. Laughter is
one of the most important functions
of human life, and to attempt to
dispense with it would be scarcely
less foolish than to try to live with
out bread. The Chautauqua gives
us pure and recreation of a whole
some sort, bring us close • to our
neighbors, cures indigestion, dispels
"blues," improves health, words, ed
ucation, business, and religious in
terest. Everybody should be en
thusiastic for a permanent Carroll
ton Chautauqua, and our Board of
Trades Publicity Committe fhas of-
fereda resolution that a Chautauqua
Association be organized. I repeat
here is our opportunity to make
Carrollton the most talked of town
in all this section of Georgia.
Now is the time of our commer
cial salvation. To Mr, R. Lee Sharpe
is due the credit for tlie successful
launching of the 1911 Chautauqua.
He has been aggressive philanthropic
and presistent in this matter, and,
no good Carrolltonian can afford to
