A large number of Jasper's eciti

cello this week. Have you been
among the number?

We cannot help but think that some
of the rain which has been falling
during the past week or so will be
needed this summer.
Don’t you know that Miss Frances
E. Willard, the originator of the W.
C. T. U., if she were living today,
would rejoice over the results that are
crowning her efforts to stamp out the
liquor traffic.
A good number of our subscribers
have responded to our s. o. s, call and
we are still hoping that others who
are in arrears will not commit the
“overt act” and force us to discon
tinue their paper.
A few nights ago General Funston
suddenly and silently folded his tent
and hiked to that country from whose
bourne no soldier returns, and in his
departure the United States lost a
indefatigable worker and valiant of
ficer.

on the Monticello News get such
a clean print on their paper.—

We thank you.
Modesty forbids our explaining the
reason.
The glad tidings have already come
that Georgia’s guardsmen will soon
return from the West and when they
are safely within the borders of their
native State much rejoicing will ‘be
done by friends, fathers, mothers and
sweethearts of these gallant and fear
less boys of the realm.
The muchly talked of “bone dry”
prohibition legislation for Georgia
has become a reality through a con
gressional enactment of the Reed
amendment which bars importation of
liquor into prohibition states. This
new measure effects about one-third
of the states in the union.
The high price of foodstuffs in the
United States is causing much com
plaint among the poorer classes and
in one or two cities riots have alrealy
resulted therefrom. It is reported
that potatoes are selling at SI.OO a
peck in Chicago while in other cities
foodstuffs are greatly out of propor
tion. A federal inquiry into the
cause of such high prices will proba
bly begin at once.
WHY I 8 IT?
When you are in a hurry why is it
that—
There are no means of locomotion
in sight?
You haven’'t any change?
Every one bumps into you?
You remember you have left the
front door open?
All the streets are blocked?
The last train has just gone?
You are held up by some bore?
You see the most beautiful girl in
the world?
Your watch is wrong?
The other person is late and you
are kept waiting an hour?—Life.

CLANTON & WEBB CO.
Under thé heading “Builders of the
South—-Atlantians Who Do Biy
Things,” in the Atlanta Journal of
February tenth, appeared a write-up
of the Clanton & Webb Company.
Mr. Frank Webb, who i 8 a member
of the firm, i¢ a former Monticellonian
and has many friends here and else
where who are interested in the suc
cess with which this Atlanta firm is
meeting.
The article in full follows:
Many Atlantans may not be aware
of the fact that the largest exclusive
school supply concérn in the south is
located -in this city. The Clanton &
Webb Co., located in the Rhodes
building, has grown from a small
business at the time of its organiza
tion in 1904, to one of such propor
tions as to command the trade in this
line in the entire south., It is not
only largest in volume of business’
transacted but in size of stock car
ried.
This company is able to furnish
anything desired in school supplies.
Blackboards of all kinds, globes,
maps, crayons, books, tablets and all
kinds of school furniture are some of
the things sold by them. They also
handle a complete line of church and
theater furniture.
Another feature of this company’s
business is the Interstate Teachers’
bureau. This constitutes an im
portant department. It is a teachers’
agency in the state and has secured
positions for hunQreda of teachers
and has furnished hundreds of|
schools with competent instructors.
It thus performs a valuable service
‘to our educational interests.
The members of the firm are: T.
W. Clanton, president; F. G. Webb,
manager; and L. P. Lazelil*. assist
ant manager.
Mr. Clanton was for many years
representative for northern school
supply houses previous to the organi
zation of this company and has a very
thorough knowledge of this business.
Mr. Webb was engaged in teaching
and thus became thoroughly familiar
with the needs of educational institu
tions. It was through his efforts that
the National Association of Teachers’
agencies was ‘formed which chose
him for its first president. He is
well known throughout the country
in educational circles. Mr. Lazenby
has been associated with the com
pany since its inception and is well
qualified for the business, These
men have conducted their business in
a manner that has won favor and
confidence of the trade. It is a valu
‘able enterprise for Atlanta and the
‘entire south. L
On the Death of Mr. F. L. Hearn Are
Adopted by the Members of the
Monticello Baptist Church,
Whereas it has pleased our Heaven
ly Father in His infinite wisdom to
take from us our friend and Christian
brother, Mr. F. L. Hearn, who for
many years went in and out among
us we, the Baptist Church of Monti
cello, Georgia, in conference do
heartily endorse the following reso
lutions:
First: That we bow in humble
submission to our Father's will, real
izing as we do that He makes no
mistakes 'though His ways are often
grow weaker if neglected. Our ex
‘perience gained by years of practice
goes to show us that if we can get
you interested while your eye troub
les are of minor importance the de
fects in your vision will be more easi
ly overcome and normal conditions
produced. Unequal strain of the
eyes produce headache. Eye strain
or headache means lost nerve energy.
You cannot afford to negleet your
eyes for the price of a pair of glasses.
We guarantee satisfaction,

Second: That we sustain in the
death of Bro. Hearn a great and
irreparable loss. The place he occu
pied in good works and in the hearts
of those who knew him will be diffi
cult to fill. |
Third: That we imitate his godly
example of Christian character and
uprightness of life offering these as
an incentive to ourselves and to our
community as a means whereby we
may upbuild our .church in faith and
good works. :
Fourth: That a copy of these reso
lutions be spread on the church
records, that a copy be tendered the
family of the deceased and that we
ask The Monticello News to publish
the same in its columns.
