♦ HOME POEMS.—NO. 9. ♦
I saw a home today where Happiness
has reigned for years—
A pleasant sight, a bit of heav’n lent to
the world. Content
Lives there and peace and Love and
Hope and Faith; no fears
Intrude, and Strife is there a strang
er; so engaged, so bent
Is each upon some loving task that
should lean Want look in
Upon the group, he could not stop;
Ambition visits there onc£ in a
while,
Success comes, too, to bear reward or
prize for merit; Vice and Sin
Know not the way unto this dwelling
place of Purity and Truth; a
smile
Is on each face, the rosy hue of health
blooms rich in cheeks that glow,
And music, lilting in the laughter, or
in the vibrant evening hour. .
I sought the secret and I saw tho
mother as she gave her days
Acd nights oftimes to minist'ring; I
found a father, give his power
07 manhood’s energy in glad support
for just his home; young men
1 saw, proud of their father’s strength,
and in a hundred ways
Thoughtful and tender of the mother;
too, sweet daughters then
I found bound up in rev’rent love to
her —and little children fair,
Led by the hand along this path of
light, of normal living in the
right;
The secret of this happy home I know
is this: Each sacrifices some
Small right or pleasure for the other
ones; because they give
Much to each other in unselfish
love they learn best how to
. LIVE. —D. G. Bickers.

Greeting Cards
Have never been used so much
as they are today; a fact that is
natural, when it is remembered
that this is the least expensive
and most delicate means of con
veying our share in the sum total
of Christmas happiness.
While ready-made cards for this
occasion are offered for sale at
many places, these are not so
much in demand now as those
which are specially engraved.
The most satisfactory results
can be obtained by consulting the
J. P. Stevens Engraving Co.,
Atlanta, Georgia, who will send
samples of the very latest style—
send today so that the work can
be made up for you in ample
time.

You and I Help Make or
Mar Our Community
It has been said that “a community is no better than the
men and women who live in it ” How true this is. If YOU
or I fail to do OUR part in the work of building up our city
—our city suffers.
A city is similar to an individual—the wiong medicine
will KILL, while the proper treatment will CURE.
Take,for instance,the habit of trading out of town. Noth
ing will so quickly kill the business interests of ones home
town.
But, let each individual apply the remedy of “Trade-at
home” and you will see that community thrive and prosper
like a sick man who grows strong under the proper treatment
The practice of buying away from home is worse than a
curse to the people of any community—it will spread and
grow like a contagious disease, unless checked by the indi
vidual efforts of every citizen.
REMEMBER THIS—You have your duty to perform to
ward your home town, just the same as yout neighbor has-
YOUR individual efforts will go a long ways toward up
building or retarding the growth of Americus.
