Do you patronize Home Industries? Those of you who have been making
your purchases away from Carrollton should think before doing so again. Think
who sympalhizes with you when you had sickness at home? Think who helped
when you needed help badly? Most surely not the strangers far away?

Dear Free Press:
The splendid rains continuing, we
should continue to be grateful to the
Giver of all good for His morcios and
for His providence in all tilings.
Some people are hard to please. If it
rains, they want it dry till the fodder
is cured. If it is dry, they want it to
rain; and so they are never gratified
long at a time. “Thy will bo done’’
should be the wish and prayer of every
one mid that prayer will evor be an
swered, for God’s will will be done.
The meetings, mb n common thing,
havc been good, but not ovor-sueccss-
fill in adding members to the church;
hut wo cannot forsco to toll surely what
the future results mny be.
Mr. Wesley Killgore and Miss Lu
Ella Webb were married on Monday
last. We wisti thorn well, in this and
the future life everlasting happiness.
Prof. Garrett and Mrs. Mamie In
gram closed their successful school on
Friday last at Camp Crock. They have
made us good teachers amt we regret)
Hint they do not teach for us any
longor. Prof, and Mrs. Craven have
boon chosen to touch for us next year.
Jt is said they lire well qualified, and we
hope they will make us good teuchors
for we are entitled to such to teach
and prepare our children for the du
ties of life and the happiness of the
future world.
Teach them tho right,
In nil life’s fight,
And good ever to bo;
.lust, pure and true,
All the way through,
The hope of J. W. B.
We must not forgot to chronicle'
t hut Mr. Mack Smith and Mrs. Luther
Smith are married and we wish for
them ever happiness in this and the
future life.
We would not elosc this letter with
(.ut saving a few words in praise of
our splendid correspondents nil over
our largo circulation territory. We
surely have some that are not only in
teresting, but instructively beneficial
also, and wc-nre proud of them on that
account. Several of them have for
merly been strdents of our and thus
wo are not surprised to ilnd them on
Hie side of right on all questions of the
day.

to Perfect Health by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Memphis, Tenn.—“Two years ago I
was completely run-down and my nerves
iwere a wreck. I could
not sweep a room
without resting. I
could not do my work
except a little at a
time, and the doc

not help me. One
day some one threw
your little book on to
my porch, and in it I
read several testimo
nials of women who

I went right out and got me a bottle of
’ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound,and before I had taken the whole
of that bottle I knew it was helping me.
I took six bottles, and then in about three
months I took two more. Now 1 am in
perfect health. I do all of my own work
and could do more. I can truly say that

RIVERSIDE ACADEMY
TO BE ENLARGED
THE COW, HOG AND HEN
Cow, hog and hen—Hint’s an epic
which Georgia agriculturists and odi
tors sing at this time of stress and tur
moll—about the little old firm of the
cow, hog und hen. This firm, accord
ing to reports from many Georgia conn
lies, anil the firm is growing with
big profits to both state and Individ
unis.
It stays on the job whether war or
peace prevails, whether dynasties wax
or wane, whether brokerage concerns go
on the rocks or constitutional monar
chics collapse. Truly, it is a sign of
the times in Georgia—this big move
meat, to put cows, bogs and liens oi
every farm—n form of broadcasting
Hint as the advocates hopefully aver
will “save the day for Georgia agri
culture.”
That astute showman, Oscar Ham
merstoin, some years ago was casting
about for a potent lure that would
tiring the crowds to his New York root
garden. Finally he had the inspiration
to exhibit a cow and her calf. They
were the gazing-stock of his exhibi
tion. They made the same bucolic ap
peal ns that oil which “The Old Home
stead” or “Way Down East” has
traded so successfully these many
years. But those two animals from the
farm stood for n lot more than senti
ment. They were the epic figures of
the 0,500,00 farms of the country, with
animals values at $8,000,000,000.
The hen that flutters und squawk
across the road before your automobile
is not the more foolish fuss that feath
ers she scorns. She is worth n billion
dollars a year.
Diversification and co-operative sell
ing are solving a difficulty in the
South that long has proven to be a se
rious handicap to agricultural prosperi
ty-, according to farm expertH.
' “Cotton must lie grown in exactly
the manner in which the fathers of the
Fifties grow it, namely, as a surplus
money- crop,” said Hon. Martin Calvin
today to the correspondent o ftliis news
service. Mr. Calvin is tho statistician
of the Georgia Department of Agricul
ture. He was for seventeen consecu
tive' years the secretary and for two
y-ears, the limited term, the president of
the Georgia State Agricultural, Society
“They- (our Fathers of tho Fifties)
practiced on every farm and plantation
diversification of crops, and gave close
personal attention to life stock farm
ing. As a Result of that wise course
they themselves grew apace; they be
came the wealthiest people in tho world.
Tho rural districts were the backbone
of the money centers—indeed, they
were tho money centers, and they were
the embodiment of genuine society—
not- ‘snsscioty.’ What a civilization!
It will never be equalled; it can never
Ye surpassed!”
THE LEADING LIGHTING
PLANT MANUFACTURERS
ANNOUNCE NEW PLAN
Announcement is just made by the
Delco-Liglit Company, of Dayton, of
a new plan for tho distribution of
their farm electric plants which it is
declared will be of vast importance to
all farmers and their families who have
been longing for the benefits and con
veniences of electricity in their homos.
This plnn is cnlled the Installed
Price Finn. It means a single, low
price which covers, not only the Delco-
Liglit plant and battery desired, but
also they cost of installing, the cost of
wiring the huse for ten lights in loca
tions to bo specified by the owner of
the house, ten drop lights placed in
position, complete even to the ten clce-
Iric bulbs in their soekots, and a spe
cial power socket for connecting up the
various electrical appliances which the
housewife may want to uso.
A financing plan also is provided, it
is explained, which onnblcs those who
desire it, to buy their equipment on
easy payments. The whole plan is
designated, it apears, to make it easy
for the farm family to have electricity
Mnnv thousands of farmers have pur
chased electric plants, it was shown,
since the Delco-Liglit Company began
their manufacture, less than eight years
ago. This company alone lias sold more
than 200,000 of these during that time
and this number will increase very
inpidly during the coming months, ill
Hie belief of the manufacturers of
Delco-Liglit Products.
They base this belief, they declare,
upon the hotter understanding and ap
preciation of the electricity which have
come to the farm family with the in
troduction of thousands and thousands
of electric plants onto the farms.
They believe, also, that the farmer, like
mv otlier citizen who lias tho ability
t o * buv comforts for his family, will
liot hositnto to exchange a. few o fills
dollars for tho electrical conveniences
which will mean so much in enjoyment
and in saving ol’ labor, in his home.
The Delco-Liglit Company, as the
largest manufacturers of farm electric
plants in the world, in making it pos
sible for tho farmers to have electric
ity so 'easily and at such moderate
cost, have undoubtedly taken a step
which will lead to much finer results,
and will mean tho spread of far greater
blessings for mankind, than even'they,
themselves realize.
A unique, situation in raising money
for enlarging a college is strikingly
shown in the case of Riverside Military
Academy of Gainesville, Gn., according
to reports.
Although a private institution in that
it receives no appropriation from thfl,
state, county or town in which it if
located, citizens of Gainesville have
gone down in their pockets to aid the
institution, now in TTie nntional eye ns
on “Honor School” of the United
States.
Contributions have been announced
following a Chamber of Commerce ban
quet which was attended by more than,
fifty of the leading citizens of thd
town. Col. H. H. Dean, mayor of
Gainesville, was the chief speaker at
the banquet. He announced that lie j
personally would give one-tenth of
whatever amount might be raised to
provide additional college facilities
The responses were enthusiastic, witli
t lie result that $15,000 has been dona
ted to Riverside Academy as the city’s
appreciation for the fine Tecord made
by the now noted prep military school.
Col. Sandy Beaver, president of River
side, had agreed to put up three dollar/
for everv dollar raised, hence a fund
of $60,00(Hs now on hand for cnlarji-
ment of the college, and work will be
started at once.

IN MEMORY
On Thursday, July 20th, the death
angel entered the home of Mr. D. M.
Glenn and took from them their dear
wife and mother. Tiic sad news came
as a great shock to her many relatives
and friends, as she visited her son, 1.
D. Glenn, and fnmily, on Tuesday, and
said she felt better than she had in
some time. She did her daily morn
ing’s work and lay down on the bed
to rest. Her son, Adam, went in to
see about her and found that she had
passed away.
Grandmother was a good woman, n
kind mother and a true wife. She
loaves eleven children, thirty grand-
children and one great grandchild, be
sides a host of other relatives and
friends to mourn her death. Rev. A.
G. Styles conducted the funeral ser
vices, after which she was gently laid
away in the Poplar Springs cemetery.
She is resting, sweetly resting,
la that Heavenly home;
She is singing with tho Angels,
Around the happy throne.
>Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart;
Oh, so hard to speak the words:
“We must forever part.”
One tty one earth’s ties are broken,
As we see our loved ones decay,
And the hopes we fondly cherish,
Brighten, blit to pass away.
One by one our hopes grpw brighter,
As we near the shining shore;
For .wo know across the Tiver,
Are our loved ones gone before.

Wash Your Duds
In Our Suds
Do you remember Lincoln’s story about the little
steamer with the big whistle? Every time they
tooted, the whistle blew off so much steam that the
boat would stop running. That’s the way with lots
of people today. If they would only use their en
ergy to drive the paddle wheel of opportunity in
stead of eternally blowing the whistle of discontent
they would find themselves going up the stream of
success so fast that the barnacles of failure wouldn’t
have a chance in the world to hook onto their little
craft.
