VOL. 1 SUBSCRIPTION RATE 10 SE RAISED JUNE I After Which Time Tribune- News Subscribers To Pay $1.50 a Year. On June Ist the subscription price ! The Bartow Tribune-The Carters viile News will be raised to $1.50 per reai . w ith proportionate increase of subscription price for periods less than a year. However, until June Ist new sub scriptions and renewals will be ac cepied at the rate of one dollar per year, after which time no subscription will be received at a less rate than $1.50. This step has been taken for the reason that the cost of news material a;:d all branches of newspaper work tm- increased to such an extent that weekly newspapers are absolutely un .. |.ie to maintain themselves at one dol lar a year, and the majority of the weekly newspapers in Georgia have al ready, during the past year, raised their subscription price to $1.50. The Tribune will be among the last papers in the state to thus increase its sub scription rate but finds itself absolute ly unable to longer maintain the rate it has under conditions which are com mon to all other lines of business. This newspaper is now better equip ped to serve its patrons than ever. It is the legal organ of the state of Geor gia, Bartow county, City of Carters \i,'le and the United States district court. It has added greatly to its equip ment in the way of machinery and type. It will receive and publish more voluntary news contributions, some of v hicli has heretofore gone to The Curtersville News, which is now merged with The Tribune. It is the intention to hold on our lists every subscriber now a patron of this paper and to add yet more to it during tne coming months. The public, however, is informed and thus put on notice, that payment now aud until June Ist of one dollar will secure The Bartow' Tribune-The Car tersville News for one year, after which it will cost $1.50. Pay now and thus save for yourself the fifty per cent increase which becomes effective June Ist. ALL DAY SINGINGS AT MANY PLACES.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRIBUNE VOL 7, NO. 9) BUSINESS INTERESTS” SUPPLTjFIELD PEAS Purchase Car LoadfTo Be Disposed Of At Cost To ... j.-jsa* Encourage Planting. To meet the requirements in a prac tical way so that peas can be secured by all for planting, tw'elve strong busi ness houses of the city have purchased five hundred bushels of field peas which are to be disposed of to farmers at cost, and credit extended, when de sired, at five per cent interest. Among the many other scarce things to be had, and for which a great de mand exists, is cow peas for their food value.and for the other purposes, soil improvement among them, that cow peas are good for. To meet the call for i he raising of food stuffs, a great many farmers have sought to secure peas. These found that they were hard to get. In fact, they were almost' out of the market. A number of business men realizing the situation, banded themselves to gether for the purpose of securing a large lot of peas and thus the Ameri can Textile Cos., First National Bank, Bank of Cartersville, Home Savings Bank, Knight Mercantile Cos., Lump kin Hardware Cos., Planters Supply Cos., J. W. Vaughan & Cos., McGinnis Warehouse Cos., L. BN Shaw & Sons Cos., Flemister Grocery Cos., and Car tersville Grocery Cos., voluntarily ad vanced the money for a car load lot of five hundred bushels and agreed to sell them at $2.85 per bushel, which is the cost price, either for cash or approved note bearing five per cent interest, or to be paid for in peas tbis fall at market price. Tt is therefore, now within the reach of all farmers who desire to sow peas to secure them at the McGinnis Ware house in Cartersville upon the terms stated. The public spirit of the busi ness houses who have advanced the money to make this arrangement is to be commended and their service in thus contributing aud encouraging the movement for increased food produc tion will result in great good to the county. Their desire is' that the public be informed of this movement and in an other part of this issue will be found an advertisement, for which no charge was made by The Tribune, setting forth the purpose, cost and terms upon which sale will be made of this food product. OUT AGAIN AFTER A LONG RETIREMENT. The city commissioners of Carters ville put into commission this week the street sprinkler, and its appear ance upon the downtown streets was heralded with delight by merchants, housekeepers and travelers alike. While the city for several years has owned a street sprinkler, for some reason it has not been used for sev eral summers. There has been an in creasing demand for its use and public sentiment is unanimous that our streets be sprinkled because of its health value and the saving which is brought about to merchants from dam aged goods and to housekeepers from damaged household furniture from fly ing dust, growing more of a nuisance each year through the increased use of the automobile. Realizing that the public demand for the sprinkler is well nigh unanimous, the commissioners decided to put It to work K. OF P. CONVENTION HELD TODAY.
