Make Thrift a hapoy habit
through War Savings Stamps,
Normal prices are a thing of
the past from every point of
view.
A county without paved roads
is a tail ender in the parade of
progress.
Put your money where it will
do double duty for you—in War
Savings Stamps.
The wide-awake little city of
Douglasville will have an ice plant
and steam laundry.
They tell ns the earth is be
coming inflammable. Not in this
section —too wet.
About the nearest to the glory
land some fellows will ever get
will be in an airplane.
The extra one-cent letter post
age during the war yielded Uncle
Sam the neat sum of $110,000.000.
The progressive city of Jackson
is adding another link to her
chain of industries —a steam laun
dry.
The Men’s Bible Class at the
Methodist church is interesting
and worth your time. Come out
Sunday. .
The report that the women are
wearing gingham because cotton
is about as expensivs as silk is a
misnomer.
The kaiser has one consolation
should he be banished to some
remote island, he won’t have to
worry over the high cost of liv
ing.
Why not let that English pug
and Jack Dempsey meet in mid
ocean and “duck it” out with a
shark as referee and thus end a
brutal sport.
If St. Simon were alive wonder
what he would think of the antics
of some of the patrons of the
island named after him who bask
in the sun in onion skin bathing
suits?
McDonough’s greatest and only
drawback to its increase of popu
lation is a lack of houses. We
have the climate, the soil, the
most hospitable people, but no
shelter for the home-seeker. Let’s
get out of this rut.
Cotton Prices.
Greer’s Almanac, 1913 edition,
contains a table of highest and
lowest cotton prices from 1861 to
1911, inclusive.
Following are a few interesting
extracts from it:
1861, highest 38, lowest 11%.
1862, highest 69%, lowest 20.
1863, highest 93, lowest 51.
1364, highest 1.90, lowest 72.
1865, highest 1.20, lowest 35.
1866, highest 52, lowest 32.
1867, highest 36, lowest 15%.
Then on up to 1899 prices grad
ually declined to 7.13-16 highest,
5.7-8 lowest, then reaching 16.15
in 1911.
Compared with 36 cents, high
for this season, these figures are
highly interesting.
Hope of Humanity Lies
In League, Says Fletcher.
Washington, July 24. “The
crosses that speak of heroism and
sacrifice, extending from the Eng
lish channel to the Swiss border,
reach out their arms in mute ap
peal to the representatives of civ
ilized pepoles to see to it that such
slaughter, destruction and barbar
ity shall never again blight the
earth,” said Senator Fletcher, of
Florida, speaking in the senate to
day in behalf of the league of na
tions. “The president has pointed
the way of hope for humanity and
assurance for the world. Shall
this senate turn it back and refuse
its advice and consent ?”
It is due the dead and maimed
of ail the allied armies and the
bereaved of the home population,
he said, that the enlightened na
tions of the earth should see to it
on the final settlement of terms
that provision be made whereby
never again should any autocrat
or military clique be able to “pour
the sweet milk of concord into
hell.”
Expressing' regret that the sen
ate “cannot unite, as did those
around the peace table,” Senator
Fletcher criticised opponents of
the league covenant’s conclusion
in the treaty.
“They not only oppose the
league of nations plan now before
us.” he said, “but they are oppos
ed to any kind of a plan. It is not
worth while to discuss the details
of the plan submitted, so far as
they are concerned. It could not
be made satisfactory to them. No
amendment, no reservation, no
separate construction, no condi
tion could be framed that would
cause it to meet with their favor.
They argue that any covenant
with other nations, any alliance
would mean a certain relinquish
ment of our sovereignty, a sacri
fice in some degree of our inde
pendence, and they are unwilling
to allow either.
“I am utterly unable to see any
such danger or find any grounds
for objection in the terms of the
covenants submitted. There would
be, of course, some right of free
and independent action surrender
ed, just as there is under any con
tract an individual may make.
The consideration received is a
fair exchange, in the one case as
in the other. The covenants of
all the other nations, the relin
quishments and yielding of arbi
trarily unrestrained action on their
part, is an important considera
tion. The concessions, which are
mutual, for certain definite and
fixed objects, is shared by all for
the good of all. The return of
what is given up balances the
giving.”

An Ideal War.
A colored soldier, regretting
audibly being shelled from a dis
tance, said to his officer: “If they
just only used razors, only razors,
then all you white folks would
have to do would be to keep the
books, just keep the books.”
Sin has many tools, but a lie is
the handle which fits them all. —

Growing Old Before Your Time.
Kidney trouble tends to “slow
up” men end women in middle
life and they fear oncoming old
age when it is only the kidneys
that are at fault. Foley’s Kidney
Pills assist Nature to restore a
sound, healthv condition and to
banish backache, soreness, lame
ness and stiffness. W. W. Wells,

Kidney Pills made me feel like a

To Our Friends and Customers:
Beginning August Ist we will be compelled to accept no
cars for repairs except FORDS. This becomes necessary on
account of the increase in the number of FORDS in this terri
tory and consequent increase in repair work. We wish to
assure all of our customers that we genuinely appreciate their
former patronage and we will continue to wash and grease
and render minor repairs to other cars, but when a job has to
go to the shop we cannot handle it, as we are obliged to give
FORDS preference. To all FORD owners we wish to say
that we will be better enabled to give you prompt and efficient
service on your FORDS and further, that all parts used in our
shop are GENUINE FORD PARTS. It has been proven
that spurious or counterfeit FORD part's will not hold up like
the genuine Ford Parts. Our prices on repair work is fixed
by the Ford Motor Company and is very reasonable in every
particular, as is every other feature of the FORD system.
The machinery and equipment recently installed enables
us to repair yair FORD in the shortest possible time. We
have the latest type of Running in Machine and will soon have
a Cylinder Reboring Machine. These machines are endorsed
by the Ford Motor Company.
Our stock of Ford Parts is as complete as is possible for it
to be.
It is our desire to give FORD Owners the best service
possible and to this end we will exert ourselves to the utmost.
Bring your FORD to the shop where FORD work only
is done.

Yours very truly,
