NATIONAL WAR II! WE ? A
SAVINGS DAY
He iias paid the price of war! He has made his supreme sacri
fice. He has given everything to his country.
It’s just a few short months since he marched down the street.
God knows we cheered til! our lungs were hoarse. And we wished
him well —and called him a hero! Then we went back to our work.
If cheers and patriotic speeches and parades would win a war,
we’d have the whole Potsdam gang licked to a frazzle in short order.
But they won’t. And while we were cheering and speech-making
and Darading, the Kaiser was driving his horde closer and closer to
Paris and sinking our own vessels within gunshot of our own shores.
Well, what are YOU going to do about it ? When someone tells
you that this war will end soon, you are listening to a damned Ger
man lie! This war will NOT end until you and I and every other
American has made a sacrifice. And if we don’t make that sacrifice
on the field of battle we are going to make it in our own home.
Let this thought sink into your mind. There’ll be NO PEACE
on God’s green earth until Germany is whipped to her knees. We’ve
got to stamp his head into the bloody mire or the Kaiser, drunken
with temporary successes, will make us ashame'd of ourselves before
we eventually wake up and WIN!
There’s a price tag on every war. The price we pay for this one
depends on the length of time w’e take before paying. We*’ve got to
pay in a service or sacrifice. And right here and now is where we
start to sacrifice. The easiest and quickest way to start is by the
purchase of War Savings Stamps. If you haven’t started you are
going to start this week.
Today you will be commanded, not asked, to sign a pledge to
save sufficient during this year to purchase at least twenty dollars

County Officials Have
Magnificent Trip Off.
It was the good fortune of The
Weekly editor to attend the an
nual county officers convention in
Valdostata last week.
The party consisted of Ordinary
Harris, Sheriff Ward, Tax Collector
Wallace, Mr. J. M. Carmichael and
ye scribbler, the trip being made
by auto, and most delightful.
Splendid roads, beautiful, clean
crops, great heavy-laden peach
orchards and other attractions
were revelations all along the
way of 245 miles to destination,
which was reached just before
nightfall, on the day of leaving,
Monday.
Valdosta is a beautiful little city
of fifteen thousand inhabitants,
and their treatment of the county
officials was royal.
An auto ride 8 or 10 miles out
of the city revealed
model farms, with as magnificent
crops of corn and peanuts on the
extensive stretches of level lands
$s the imagination Ci.uld picture.
Mr. boll >y,eevil has knocked: out
king cotton, hence a sight of it is
a rarity. But •this is regarded by
the farmer as a blessing, bringing
on a new and better order of
things i-m
A banquet by the Citizens Club
culminated the day on the banks
i of Ocean Pond, an ideally pictur
esque location at Lake Park 12
miles below the city, where the
spread of canteloupes, watermel
ons, fresh lake brim, with other
delicious accompaniments to com
plete the feast, simply beggars
description.
Indeed would a detailed write
up of the trip be interesting, but
time and space forbid.
The return trip was made by.
way of Willacoochee, where an- 1
other delightful hour was spent
with Mr. and. Mrs. Ray Brown,
son-in-law and daughter of Ordi
nary Harris. Ray’s McDonough
riends are pleased to know that
he has established a good busi
ness and owns a nice home in the
town of his adoption.
It would be unjust to overlook
the “Apperson Jack Rabbit,” the
magnificent speedy car of Mr. J.
| M. Carmichael, which contributed
i so much to the pleasure and com
! fort of the trip.
Fine Shoe Work.
I have perfected arrangements
with F. B. Harris of Griffin by
which I am prepared to do ail
sorts of shoe work in the best
possible manner. Don’t fail to see
me for anything in the shoe line.
Satisfaction guaranteed in all the
grades. T. S. MAYS.
wmrth of War Savings Stamps. Every man, woman and child, re
gardless ofepolor or creed is commanded by our government to make
this sacrifice.
And I’ve got an idea in my head that you’il be mighty glad to do
it! Because we’ve stopped the cheering and the speeches and the
parades and we know now—WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT!
We’ll sacrifice and WIN.

Director of Publicity
