BUSINESS WILL BE INCREASED THROUGH SUC
CESS OF HOME TRADE CAMPAIGN
The feuy-in-Carrollton campaign if strictly adher
ed to, would prove to be the greatest co-operative af
filiation with the ultimate results of great benefits to
all classes, because:
FIRST. It would increase the volume of all busi
ness and therefore the profits and dividends of all
firms.
SECOND. The expansion of business and profits
would increase the working forces and salaries.
THIRD. The increase of business would natur
ally increase the population of our city.
FOURTH. The increase of population means ex
pansion of territory, thereby a large demand for real
estate, residences and stores.
FIFTH. It would naturally increase the deposits
of our banking institutions, and give the money mar
kets a broader elasticity.
a greater
SIXTH. It would make Carrollton
trade center.
SEVENTH. It would invite investments of manu
facturers.
EIGHTH. It would become necessary to enlarge
our truck farms, stock raising and egg and poultry
industry.
NINTH. It would invite out-of-town trade be
cause our merchants, manufacturers, truck farm
ers and poultry raisers could compete with the
world.
TENTH. It would entirely eliminate sending
money away and therefore would keep our money
at home, and select merchandise with our own eyes,
cheaper and better, from as good selections as could
be purchased in the country.
Educational Campaign
To Buy In Carrollton
Every dollar you send out of Carrollton and Car-
roll county is robbing our city and county of a part
of its resources. Every dollar you exchange here
through business channels adds to our city and
county’s wealth. Which are you doing—building
here or building elsewhere?
THE HOME SPIRIT
The people of Carroll
ton should realize their
mutual dependence upon
each other. We should
spend our money with the
home merchants when we
can get from them the
things we want. Co-oper
ation will make Carrollton
grow. We are interested
in our town and should do
our best to bring prosper
ity our way.
Home spirit is what we
are talking about. HOME
SPIRIT. You’ve got it, I
keep it, don’t lose it, dog
gone it—Home Spirit.
KEEPING BUSINESS
AT
HOME
No town can be permanently
prosperous in which the citi
zens and tradesmen dependent
on each other, spend their
money away from home. The
fact is. but little is ever made
by going away to trade, if it
can be secured at home, and of-
tener there is a loss. Show us
a town in which the people
make it a rule not to send away
for anything they can get at
home, and we will show you a
town in which business is live
ly, and trade is centered from
abroad. Prices are low and
the tradesmen patronize each
other, having no suspicion that
confidence will be abused. Let
it be understood that when bus
iness men of any town get in
the habit of sending abroad for
purchases the business will lan
guish. Having no confidence
in each other how can they ex
pect others to have confidence
in them? No, that’s not the
way to build a town. Patron
ize each other, and keep your
business at home.—Fitzgerald
Leader.
START A “HOME-BUYING”
CLUB
If merchants and their sales
clerks were not a mighty good
natured bunch of folks whose
rough edges have been worn
down by much contact with hu-
man nature, they would have
reason to get quite grouchy at
times. ,
There are some persons wno
will go or send to more or less
distant cities, and make impor
tant purchases of clothing, fur
niture, or foodstuffs. Then
when they find that they want
some article in a hurry, and
must have it for some pressing
need, they rush to the home
store, and demand that it be
supplied them instantly.
They expect these stores to
keep stocked up all the time on
a wide variety of goods. Yet
they fail to supply their share
of the patronage that would
warrant these stores in keeping
such a stock.
A group of good retail stores
links up a town with the won
derful nation-wide system for
distributing modern products.
They bring to your doors the
comforts and conveniences of
advanced civilization from all
over the world, where you can
examine and select the things
that you desire, and securd
competent advice as to how to
get the results you want.
But people can not expect to
secure the kind of stores that
their community is entitled to,
on the basis of its population
and wealth, if they are con
stantly running or sending
away elsewhere to buy goods.
Unless they give their patron
age to their home stores, those
stores can not serve them with
maximum efficiency.
The men who own and con
duct the stores of Carrollton
are a loyal force working all
the time to build up this som-
munity, to provide it^with the
best modern facilities and
equipment, to improve its civic
advantages and improve its
prosperity. When you deal
with them, you back up and
promote the advancement of
your home town and county.
A family may patronize the
stores of strangers for years—
may send them during that time
.hundreds of dollars—and at
the same time those strange fel
lows wouldn’t accommodate
the family for a two-cent
stamp. This is the pi un. un
adulterated truth. If you think
different try it for yourself arid
see. Those out-of-town houses
do not know you—do not care
to know you—are not interest
ed in you in any way—only in
the money you send them.
Spend your money with your
home merchant, who knows
you, who will trust you in time
SWAT THE FLY
Atlanta, Ga.—At a ro-unixm meeting
of the descendants of Mrs. Icome First
Fly in tho basement of n downtown
candy shop this morning, plans for
erecting a monument to her memory
were approved. Mrs. Fly mot death on
the head of a county official after de
positing eggs in various parts of the
city.
Tho monument selected was designed
by Fatal Disease, tho eminent sculp
tor, whose work is shown in every ccin-
pidor encrusted with typhoid germs im
bedded in tilth surmounted by tiro tly
motto: “Where 1 Live Humans Dio,’’
The meeting was attended by more
than 100 (lies, nil of tho second genera
tion, who boasted that they had laid
15,000 eggs which will bo hntchod with
out delay. At the unuunl rate of in
crease, the family will consist of about
0,000,000,000,000 flies in September,
when tho sixth generation will have
been hatched.
It was said at the meeting that At
lanta is becoming dangerous for tlies bo-
cause of efforts to exterminate them.
Poison, flypaper and swattors have been
used to this end, and it was said that
the casualties had been numerous, it
was agreed, however, that littU 1 uneasi
ness need bo felt so long ns tho brood
ing places are not disturbed. The
speck of one fly may contain as many
ns 5,000 typhoid germs, an done egg is
a threat of death to tho community.
The fly is in tho same class with tho
mad dog, the snake in the grass and the
wild animal roaring at will, for tho fly
is insidious.
Ho lurks in overy corner.
He plnnts his gerniB in your bread.
lie buries them in your butter.
He floats them in your baby’s milk
bottle.
There is no escape if he once enters
your home.
The lesson is obvious; keep the fly
out. with screens and swat him quickly
if he gets in.
NATHAN ERNEST DOZIER
On the morn in £ of Mnv 12th, 1022,
about 5 o’clock Nathan Ernest Dozier

Hell Dozier, and Sarah Newton Dozier,
He was descended from a long lino of
Presbyterians, for generations on both
liis father’s and mother’s side. He join

Presbyterian church, he attended regn-,
lnrly an Episcopal church where he
served ns vestryman, nlthough not, a
member. He afterwards came to Car
rollton, On., and boenmo a faithful
member. About the year 1012, he was
an elder in the church. Ho was a
happy, active Christian, nml one of tho
most honored elders in tho history of
the Carrollton church. Mr. Dozier wns
n perfect tvpo of a gentleman, a true
Christian who never compromised with
wrong. He wns endowed with a kindly
spirit, and good will toward his fellow-
man These virtues attracted to him a
multitude of faithful friends whose
esteem and affection he held throughout
his life. Nothing to regret—nothing
left undone. God ’h finger touched him
and ho slept.
Whereas. God in His infinite wisdom
and love has called our beloved elder,
N. E. Dozier, to Himself, and whereas
he had signified his readiness to depart
and be with Him, face to face, therefore
be it resolved: ,
1. Thnt in the death of Mr. Dozier
the eomnnirtitv has sustained a "rent
loss of a good citizen and a faithful
friend. . , ,
2. Thnt nlthough his removal from
the church will be keenlv felt, and es
pecially so in tilt session where his
deep spiritual life always brought such
a blessing to his pnstor and brother eld
ers. we bow in humble submission to
our Father’s will, and praise Him for
his consecrated life.
5. That we extend to the bereaved
our tendorest svmnnthv and commend
them to the God of all comfort.
4 That a copy of these resolutions
bo recorded in our minutes, that cop
ies lie sent to the family of the de
ceased. to the local papers and to (lie
Christian Observer.

THE STAR OF HOPE
When worn and weary of tho race,
Men fall by the way and hide their face.
When in Despair’s broad way they
grope;
Down dark aisles of life there gleams,
With lifting power that ever streams
A ray of light—the star of Hope.
AVhon wavs of Earth are filled with
thorns,
And joy has "given placo to sighs and
moans,
When with trouble souls eannot cope;
To lift from Gloom's dark might there
shines,
As 'round the heart it ever twines,
A gleam of Kght—the star of Hope.
For hearts with pain and anguish torn,
Per sunny youths and Life’s rosy morn,
And age on Time’s staid western
slope;
And men of every rne>e and creed,
From fell Depair’s dark way hast freed,
This golden light—the star of Hope.
For men in every nge and clime,
Hath shown this star with light sub-
limp,
The beacon light—the star of Hope;
For those, who climb Fame’s rugged
heights;
Aiul those in lowly walks it lights
With beams iliviuo—tho star of Hope.
—H. C. KEY.

LESS LATIN AND MORE OF THIS
The above lesson is one of whic h every man, woman and child in
the community should be intereste d. It is a lesson of co-operation be
tween the home merchant, manufacturer and consumer-an appeal to
our community spirit—a plea for u s to “get together.”
A little less Latin and more civ ic pride should be taught our chil
dren. They receive their educati on through taxation of the home
merchant and citizen. So they ar e never too young to be shown the
folly of sending money away from their home town. Teach your
children to respect the hand that f eeds them and to honor the town
that contributes to their welfare. T each them, that buying away from
their home town is a menace to th e growth cf the community in
which they live.
