SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
DO YOU ADVERTISE!
Did you ever know a town to prosper
that was not advertised?
Have you ever heard of a town failing
to prosper that was advertised?
Did you ever hear a merchant
say that he had lost by advertising?
Did you ever know a merchant who ad
vertised fail to have a trade?
Is your local paper not considered an
advertisement of your town? Are not
the advertisements of your goods, news
to the majority of the readers of
your local paper ? Can a .paper ad
vertise you and your town always
for nothing? Does not advertising help
your paper? When you help your paper
are you not helping your town? Then
why don’t you advertise? Why?
DON’T WORRY.
Early planting does not insure good
crops, neither does late planting necessa
rily make poor ones. Knowing nothing of
the future we cannot tell what is best hut
we have this injunction. ..In the morn
ing sow thy seed md i i the evening hol l
not thy hand for thou knowestnot which
shall prosper” but we do know that to be
always complaining and looking on the
dark side will not help matters at all
while if we go to work with a cheerful
spirit determined to do our very best we
may accomplish great things. We have
no reason to doubt that the efforts of the
farmers will lie rewarded with an abun
dant harvest in the Autumn if they do
their duty.
WILL MOVE TO ELLAVILLE.
Mr. John Kleeklv will soon begin the
erection of a handsome residence. Ella
ville is to he congratulated upon securing
such a good citizen, particularly as he
was offered special inducements to locate,
elsewhere. But Mr. Kleckly like agreat
many othei siias found out that Ellaville
is the garden spot of this country and
steadily growing into a prosperous town.
One of our sweetest young ladies who
lives just a short distance from town was
exrecting her best fellow iast Sunday
and had everything in “apple pie order”
but the continued rains caused the par
or chimney to fall, and it being too cold
to sit without fire they had to spend the
evening with the old folks, much to the
discomfiture of the young ^man who in
his present state of mind thinks that two
is company ami three is a great big
crowd,’ • He will be certain that spring
has come to stay before he again
his fancy lightly turn to thoughts of
love.”
From the quantity of guano lieing
hauled fr ail the depot it seems that the
farmers are paying no heed to the advice
of prominent leaders in the alliance who
are urging them to plant less cot’on. We
fear they are making a great mistake for
in all probability if- will be the same as
last year after the trouble of making a
large crop some of it will have to remain
in the field for want of hands to gather
it. Experience is a dear teacher and
even that sometimes fails to impress a
lesson.
The doctors in town h ive been treat
ing patients in the county who are suffer
ing with catalepsy a very uncommon
disease. Mr. G. id. Hays has a child very
strangely affected and in a very preca
rious condition. Dr. McMichael’s little
girl who has been quite ill for several
weeks at times seems to be in a comatose
state. Dr. R. T. Bivins who was called
in to consult with the physicians, reports
iier improving.
As it seems to do no good we dislike
very much to be compelled to make an
other complaint about the mail arrange
ment. but when’people subscribe for a
p iper they generally want to get it the
week its published. The papers which
left this place for Murray’s X Roads Fri
day morning have never reached that
place. We would like to know who is to
blame for this gross carelessness,
A very important case is being tried to
day T in the conrt of chancery presided
over by Judge Fish of Oglethorpe. It is
the old case of Eason vs. Sellars which
involves a lauded estate valued at $21,000
dollars. Beside the local bar (lie follow
ing attorneys Americus from are in
attendance Hollis, Hawkins, llinton,
Butt and Lumpkin.
We know of seven or eight residences
to lie built in Ellaville right soon.
While we make no boast of a great
boom this looks like our town
mg don’t it?.
No mushroom growth, hut a steady
substantial up building is what we claim
will give us Hie best town in Georgia.
