Adv DON’T Slow Up ✓ Advertising NOW! $ NEVER has there been a time when the public has looked more keenly for MER CHANDISING NEWS than now. Never has there been a time more auspicious for the enterpring tradesma to secure HIS FULL SHARE OF TRADE than now. People must continue to eat, to wear and to use. The tendency is to cut out luxuries, and luxuries are only a relatively small proportion of your businesss. For every luxury cut out you have a chance to increase your movement of staples. How short-sighted is the policy of reducing advertising expense to “save money.” You will only lose trade. You will only lose prestige. Advertise to increase sales and make more money; don’t cut it out to save money. Study your advertising as you never did befo^ —do it wisely and well. Be prosperous and let the people know that you are prosperous. Success was NEVER achieved by stopping advertising or by wearing old clothes and talking pessimism.

Reeves, who is in the Q. M. department and stationed a* Camp Joseph E. Johnson, Jackson ville, Florida, spent a few days i; Cartersville recently the guest of his parents, .Mr. and Mrs. Levi Reeve*.-. .Mr. Reeves is delighted with the army life and has been assigned as a unit in the 436 .Motor Truck Cos. Hr has charge of a large Pierce Arrow ruck and has had quite a bit of ox perience driving it thru the Florida rand beds. This a part of the train ing given the recruits and when able io master the sand beds, and mud i hogs of the Florida swamps, he is i considered fuliy competent to carry ' munitions across the shell torn roads of France. While the men have n j definite information on the subject MINING EXPERTS ' INSPECT LANDS IN THIS COUNT) Mi-. Lawrence La Forge, a geolo gist sent out by the l’. S. Geologi eal survey arrived in Cartersville this week for the purpose of doing some special work on structure geol ogy in the Cartersville district, giv ing particular attention to the man ganese deposits in this territory. S ' acute has become the demand of the steel industries of the country for manganese that the government has found it advisable to detail some of its best men to sections of the conn try where manganese is mined in commercial quantities and the fact that Mr. LaForge has been sent here is conclusive evidence that the govern ment is counting on quite a large amount of manganese from this dis trict. Prof. W. R. Crain, who is with the U. S. Bureau of Mines and whose presence was noted sometime ago, is still in the field and is giving particu lar attention to mining and milling methods and stands ready to advise the local miners the best methods of obtaining results as worked out by experts in every section of the coun try. The fact that practically two thirds of the manganese output of the country during the year of 1917, was secured from the Cartersville quad- Tangle is a statement of unusual im -1 ortance just at this time It is ex pected that the output this year will equal and in some cases exceed that of 1917. Mr. J. P. D. Hull, of the State Geo logical Bureau is also still on the ground and making numerous investi gations that will prove beneficial to the mining interest. / Mi. H. K. Sherrer, assistant Slate Geologist, arrived this week and is here for the purpose of carrying on field work on slate deposits, giving special attention to potash as it may te found in the slate deposits. This i an especially important work and the result of his finding will be in corporated in a special report which is to be issued by the state depart ment within the next few weeks. It is understood that potash slate is found in abundant quantities in Harrow county and as yet modern methods have not been used to mine it It is Mr. Sherrer’s work to interest owners of these deposits in the mat ter of providing modern machinery where feasible and his visit \vill n 0 doubt have a far reaching effect on ttie future of this phase of mining in this territory.’ With these investigations now i. progress in Bartow county it is es -1 eciaily interesting to note the fad that no less than five important nfin ■’•als can be mined seccessfully. Barytes, a white substance and oct-er. which is used in the manufacture ot paints and are live products. Mar ganese, which is at present most sought after, is necessary in the man ufacture of steel and because of the incessant demands for this product local miners are understood to have orders booked far ahead for mnnga nese. Iron is also being mined ard the results obtained by those giving attention to this mineral at this time tl re said to be good. With the of Mr. Sherrer it is expected that interest will again he jevived in the mining of slate and be cause of the potash particles found in these deposits there is area Iv market for all that can he secured, experts declare. Mr. Reeves believes his company will soon be ordered to France. Mr. Reeves enlisted in the armv about four months ago and was firs* rent to Fort Oglethorpe, later be ns transferred to Jacksonville. He was a student last year at the agricultural college in Douglas and made an eviable record. He was accorded a place on the “All Star Prep Team” of the state and ranked very high in foot ball circles. His hosts of friends in Cartersville were delighted to see him and wish him worlds of luck and safe return. LET US SEE YOUR EYES Dr. .1. P.

M. Jackson and Son, where it was prepared for burial. Later Friday evening it was carried to the Smith home on North Erwin Street.
