A SPECIFIC -FOIt la Grippe, for Colds, Coughs, AND LUNC TROUBLES, AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL ‘‘Two years ago, I had the grippe, and it left me with a cough which gave me no rest night or day. My family physician prescribed for me, changing the medicine as often as he found the things I had taken were not helping -n ■ v-l W v| m — '. me, but, in spite of his ntfendanee, I got no better. Finally, ray lmaband,—read¬ ing one day of a gentleman who had bad the grippe and was cured by taking Ayer’s Ciierry 1’ectsoraJ,—procured, for me, a bottle of tills medicine, and before I had taken half of if, I was cured. I have used the Pectoral for my children and in my family, whenever wo have needed ft, and have found it a specific for voids, cough*, and lung troubles.”— Emii.y Wood, North 8t., Elktua, Md.

Approach any thoughtful enterprising citizen of this community and ask him how much he would give, what he would do, how much be would be willing to sac¬ rifice for the general public interest and material advancement and upbuilding of the community, and his answer, so mag¬ nanimous, patriotic and unselfish would almost astound you. But lo, when the general roll is called, how few respond to their name* and how many permit their patriotism to be stifled by what (s appar¬ ently selfishness. Would you like to see our town thriving, growing and prospe¬ rous? “Yes,” they answer and there it ends. Each man sits down and quietly waits for “something to turn up.” That poor something has got to turn itself up or the other fellow must do the turning. The ball must roll by itself (which it ncyer does up hill) or somebody else must do the pushing. But we never discover the other fellow. Jie lives in the lacd of Nowhere ami tiie trains all seem to run the other way. My kingdom for the other fellow! The sum—aye, there's (he rub—of what each one declares he will do, if properly managed, would soon effect a change that would be marvelous and make every one feel proud. Is this hypocracy, tills pro¬ fessed but unrealized patriotism? Is old Crawfordville filled with citizens who de¬ clare for her glory but fall to act through a lack of sincerity in their declarations? a thousand times, no. No collection of better energetic whole-souled people can be found anywhere, Their declara¬ tions as to what they would do for mate¬ rial advancement come from the heart and are founded upon true patriotic motives. But what is the matter? Why is there such a sad lack of public spirit manifested iu a substantial wav! The main reason is that the citizens cannot COME TO GKTIIEH AND AGREE ON ANY PLAN public enterprise. w e an can’t agree upon what would be the best plan, one sure of success. We need to work together, advise with each other and all with one accord strive for the mate rial advancement and prosperity of Craw fordyille. There is not a single citizen, whoever lie may be, who will not he di rcctly benefited in numberless ways, if the proper course, is pursued. Some think when they give 8 UKUM) to a public -ntet prise, that every cent of it is gone beyond recall and that he will never receive any return. This is narrow mindedness. Ex¬ perience haa proven that no big hearted ! citizen has ever lost anything by contribu tion and energy spent In the interestof his j community. i I Another chief reason, already mention ( , (J w)|V gma ]j t() wns become slothful with ' ,' B is lmt ea ,. u mau u llnk8 that he will Shirk ills part and shift his burden upon h’-* neighbor. And verily, what a world! His neighbor thinks the very samcnliiog. one waits for the otiier to take the initiative and some are really anxious for lt to bo don,. But watch the treunent received by the other fellow. As soon ns he makes his appearance and takes a step of public enterprise, some one washes his hands of the whole affair, giving some flimsy excuse, while deep down in his heart can lie found the miserable reason, "I don’t like the leader." My friend, only | stop and think, the objeet is not the leader. That is a very good and in fact an essential tiling to success in anv general undertak ing. But the prime, leading object of the —........ interest of the community; and cm if one. t some s|iecial men can assure success, for i lie sake of our own manhood aud for the interest of our own people, lets throw - away . personal prejudice and spite, aud work! lokuuir , m jn iwuuuuj liarm(lny for Ul o public l good, Wo may differ amonjr ourselves iu our! ; »K^litical or relicious views and in the ™>i for-1 « dislike the actions of some of our neigh hors and m»v have had personal differcu- ! ces with some, but when the general wcl- • fare of the community is at stake, these minor things should bo cast aside and we should all come together aud work for the j 1 ,on ' mou stk ’ 0 - Wc have been trying of l»te to think of $<.»rae plan to bestir the latent energy of one could agree upon it) we can think of no more promising undertaking than to work for the interest of Stephens High __ Si community than a gi*>d eiiucational iu stitution. Surely no one can for one moment moment doubt umiov this im> nro(>osition. ««iu^wuv»u.

But we r.tf, in sad need of high schools. These are to be found in large cities, which is really not the place for them. Where high school advantages are available in small towns, you will always find boarders from cities in attendance. This is natural, for the city parens recoginize that education¬ al advantages are more easily grasped where there is less worldliness to detract the attention. Our universities being placed in cities is one of their main draw¬ backs. Where a small town has high ed¬ ucational opportunities it is sure to thrive. There can he no doubt about it. Now why can’t Crawfordville work togethei and plat* Stephens High School upon a road to success? Surely no place has more promising advantages and higher historical associations. The old home of Georgia’s great commoner, with a school bearing his mime, precious to every Geor gian; with a Situation that has no rival for health and with all the beneficial opportu¬ nities that the country can afford, Craw¬ fordville should have a school with over 250 pupilsN The only thing necessary is for our citizens to get together and agree on apian of success. There is no use searching for a plan that will occasion no inconvenience on the part of its backers The only way to do it is for every citizen to go down deep in his pocket and make a free school, with a small tuition ’or boarders. But some fel¬ low has no children to educate, or his children areal educated, or not old enough yet. The be■' tit to be derived Horn a good high str iding school in Crawford viile is not to ibe estimated upon any such low plans. Those who have no children surely desire to live In a prosperous thrjv. ing community and a good school, per¬ manently established is the only way to quicken up a small town. It is the best and only way to build up a community iu the rural districts. Let people know that we mean business, tliat we have a good school here aijid intend to keep it hero as long as the town lasts and they will begin to move here j*,o enjoy the educational ad vantages of a high school training, so bad¬ ly needed In our system. Would that people could see that this would add greatly to the material prosperity and act upon it. But here is the man whose chil¬ dren have completed their education and who overlooks the fact that his children and grandchildren will live here the rest of their lives, for no one ever leaves Craw¬ fordville ohiUt to (stay. And not quite now comes old one whose cna.e enough to take an cdvieMion and of course lie would do a Ybb.’imlngTdrat" foMooTc far enough aheaV to work for a school for thorn. They! may die, and or some one may endow the ;hool; then his tnonev would be thriiwn away. Wo. don’t expect much from him; he has a good excuse. Would thal I had words sufficient to force every citizen In this county to realize the importance of this question and what it would mean to us. if wo could get together ami push for the upbuilding of the school. THINK about it, friends, think hard and Set’s reverse the. general order of tilings by each one determining that lie will act. re¬ gardless of what his neighbor does. Each man should give a permanent annual sub¬ scription anil let the school be advertised, so that people may understand tliat we mean business. Then old Crawfordville in a few veals will receive an impetus on the road'to gnccess which will cause tis all to stand in amazement. LET’S ALL PULL TOGETHER FOR THE SCHOOL. AN ANXIOUS CITIZEN.
