NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
That newspaper advertising is a powerful fac¬
tor in the business life and material development
of a community, has long since been admitted by
nil observant persons, but an additional reference
to this fact occasionally will not be out of order.
The Katz Advertising Agency says in a bulle¬
tin just issued, “Ole Hanson; a few days ago a
name unknown to the world. Over night the may¬
or of Seattle makes himself known and respected
throughout the United States— becomes an inter
national figure. take government
“Any m a* 1 who tries to over

hstll ,r
“A local incident through the daily newspapers
becomes national. The potency of a courageous,
local action in the twinkling of an eye is duplicat¬
ed wherever a daily newspaper is read.
“The story of Ole Hanson graphically visualizes
the greatness and possibilities of the daily news¬
paper—an influence absolutely incomparable.
“And this force can be capitalized as a salesman
and can sell your goods. h
“Invest in newspaper advertising.

Editor Patterson seems to think that Coving¬
ton is the best town in the world in which to live.
Wonder what the people of Conyers, in which
town he also publishes a newspaper, think of the
proposition ’
THE BLESSING OF LABOR.
Charles Kingsley once said, “Be thankful ev¬
morning of your life that there is something
ery like to do it or not.
you must do, whether you
Whether you are painting a picture or hammer
ring on iron, whether you are keeping books or j
washing dishes and sweeping floors, your work is
the thing which saves you from yourself. While |
your hands and thoughts are occupied you have
no time for morbid introspection. The clear duty
before you is to bend your energies to your work
and do it conscientiously and well. It is only in
this way that you do your duty to the world.
Every person has an obligation before him. He
must engage in something useful to prove his
right to live in a busy universe. If he cannot leave
the world better than he found it, he can at
events take his share of keeping the world in
der while he is here. The responsibility of labor
ls incumbent upon him.
There is a wide though sometimes
general recognition of this responsibility. Many
wealthy people who do not need to work for their
support show their realization of this princi¬
pal by taking up some work of value to the com¬
munity. They enter into public life or devote
themselves to some question of education or gen¬
eral betterment of conditions. If they do not take
this course they are reduced to the most useless,
profitless and wearisome form of toil—that of
.seeking their own amusement and pleasure.
Wholesome, satisfying employment develops a
man's faculties, keeps him keen and ready forop
portunity. work. Enter into
Put your heart into your it
every morning with feelings of interest in it and
gratitude for it, and you will know the blessing of
labor. .

Albany had a disastrous fire recently that de¬
stroyed several of its large buildings in the fi^art
of town, but Phoenix like, Albany is preparing to
erect stil more substantial and attractive struc¬
tures in the ashes of the burned area. Editor Mc¬
Intosh is advising the people down that way to
build now and they are getting ready to do it. Al¬
bany is a progressive city and will continue to go
forward.

On account of her heroic service as a physician
and surgeon to soldiers in the civil war congress
passed a bill permitting the late Dr. Mary Walker
to dress in male attire. It would be well if con¬
gress in these days should pass another, bill of the
same nature requiring the conscientous objectors
to wear feminine garb,
Premier Cilemenceau, receiving the inter-al
lied women, said that “when people once came to
an agreement they had better part.” The con¬
verse, i. e., that people who differ should remain
together until they come to an agreement, is only
applied in the case of juries.

The Thomasville Times-Enterprise says: “It
is rumored that the government is going to ask
the opinion of several prominent and well inform
ed citizens of each community as to their esti
mates of the income of some men that have been
shirking their tax responsibilities.”

The Clean Slate.
Marietta Journal: We see that the Tennessee general
assembly will pass legislation giving a pardon to all soi¬
diers Who were guilty of misdemeanors before the war.
This is following the policy of the “clean slate” of which
wrote some months ago, when Judge Morris, of the
Blue Ridge circuit, announced in his charge to the grand

and, as a result they do not appreciate this splendid com¬

developed, its resources made known and its advantages
properly placed before the outside world, so as to insure

We Have Received Shipment
of New Cars.
We invite you to call around to our show room and
inspect these new models Every model has inbuilt the
characteristic Buick features, all six cylinder motors,
Buick valve-in-head design. But with many desirable
changes and improvements over the cars of the previous
seasons.
The valve mechanism is automatically lubricated
and is covered with dust-proof cover, prolonging the life
of tne bearings.
The valve lifters, rollers and pins have been made
lrger, which will reduce wear. A tension spring has
been placed on valve lifters to keep roller on cam con¬
stantly relieving valve spring of all work except seating
of the valves. The new design of cram shaft insures
gradual seating action of valve lifters and eliminates
noise. These are only a few of the many changes made
in this year’s models.
