COMMENDABLE SPIRIT. In the advertising columns of this issue of The Tribune-News Wiere appears a letter from L. F. Shaw & Sons, the spirit of which is most commendable, and one worthy of em ulation by every business interest in Bartow r county. , This progressive firm extends the glad hand of welcome to The Farm ers Gin Company, which is soon to open up for business. The new firm will be, in a sense, a competitor of the older firm, but this fact is brush ed aside, and with a spirit of mag nanimity, assures the new enterprise that it enters the local field with the best wishes of all fo unbounded uuc eess. Messrs. Shaw & Son will lose noth ing; they will gain much; for in tSls good year of 1918 the public has learned to appreciate broad-mimß and business methods. ~ Cartersville needs much more of this spirit. It is one that will "Te dound to the everlasting good of the community. , When outsiders realize that local business men are working for the common weal, with a belief that the success of one firm means a measure of success for the whole, a long step will have been made in the city’s material advancement. Bartow county is a rich and pro gressive county, and on its farms re side a citizenry the equal of any' to be found anywhere in this broad land of ours. , The outlook for this year's harvest is indeed bright, and the yield of the fleecy staple will be larger than us ual, all reports agree. With another gin added to the other two already established, it will mean, naturally, that more cotton will be brought to Cartersville. And more cotton brought here to be ginned, means that more cotton will be sold on the local market. More cotton sold on the local market means more mon ey in circulation at cotton telling %ime. It’s an endless Tnatler, TTiis co operation on the parT of business men, and the Tribune-News rejoices alonf with all real lovers of Bartow county in this open manifestation of modern business dealings. The Bartow county peach crop is something to be reckoned with, even |f the orchardist have not tooteJ fheir horns loud enough to make some of the town-dwellers realize just how many bushels of the luscious Elbertas are gathered every year right in our own community. o AN APPRECIATION. The Tribune-News appreciates the many courtesies recently shown by its friends in their efforts to phone in news items and some have mailed 4hem in. All these efforts help wonderfully, and we believe our readers appreciate these newsy notes as much as we do. Our one purpose is to publish a MEWS paper, and the only way such a paper can be published is to have the ■co-operation of the people whom we endeavor to serve. When the visitors come, or you •expect to make a trip, let the editor Jujow about it. We'll give you a MEWS paper e very issue, and a paper THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, ULY 18, 1918 ; that will be a credit to your town and county. We thank you. o A SUMMER HOTEL. Cartersville is an ideal location for a summer hotel. Those who know w'hereof they speak ogree on that fact. There are hundreds of people liv ing to the south of us wdio would revel in the pleasant nights we have here the summer through. The days are ideal, and such as would delight the heart of the superheated South Georgians and Floridians. They are today going by the scores to other points in North Georgia—to Summer ville, Clayton, Young Harris, and nu ruerous other places. They would come to Cartersville, if our climate was made known to them, and v/e had a summer hotel to afford them .suitable accomodations. . One gentleman fully conversant with the whims and fancies of tourists, said the other day that "a Flagler would see the possibilities of dotting every hill overlooking Cartersville ’with a summer hotel —and the returns would come in double measure to a Flagler’’ Flagler, you know, is the mas who fdreamed of turning the arid sand covered beaches of the Florida East Coast into a veritable haven for the flourists who would go to a warmer clime to escape the rigors of a Nor thern winter. Every one knows the results of his faith and today, Day tona, Palm Beach and Miami, are the Mecca for countless tourists every winter. We have simply been hiding our lights under a bushel. We need more publicity for this favored section. Once our friends to the south of us learn of the great hills and fine roads throughout the entire section, they wjll come and while away a bit of the summer. They will get value reclved for every hour spent in this beautiful section, and no one is more ready *to admit that fact than the caual visitor who come into our midst for a brief sojourn. Let’s wake up, folks; and begin to spread the good news about our won derfully beautiful scenery r:i riw-iss like climate. And it might be stated, too, that if a string of hotels should be built, tihey would surely be used for the winter tourist as well, for our winters are as summers, compared with those of the more northern clime. A golden opportunity, and an assur ance of a golden harvest of dollars awaits that set of hard headed busi ness men who wake up to the possi bilities that are right here, merely waiting for the hand of some leader with a vision broad enough to fathom the long wasted potentialities of the North Georgia Wonderland. o The Eighty-second division, made up of boys from Georgia, Florida and Alabama, with a sprinkling of Bartow county boys, is believed to have been in the thick of the fighting this week, when the Hun attempted a short-lived offensive. Everybody knows *ur boys gave a good account of them selves. o Truly our government is the best under the sun today. It takes care of its soldiers through all their stages of training, and when they are erady to go over the top, they are given every protection afforded by science. If they are wounded, aid is right there to sue cor them. If their wounds disable them for their usual~avocation, plans have already been perfected to teach the boys new trades. Your Uncle Sam is the best and grandest person age ruling a people. Every body agrees on that one point. Some wag has advanced the thought that little Willie finds the peanuts andpopcorn he planted came up al right, but the chewing-gum is still a bit late o The Tribune-News can be counted on for news always, even though some time that news is a bit premature, as some might say. o Don’t judge him tdo harshly—you never know the full extent of the load your brother is carrying o SUBSCRIPTIONS Scores of our Subscribers have re sponded to the recent statements mailed them, and every remittance is appreciated. There are some who have let the days come and go without sending in One of the Sunday Paper magazines Carried a photograph Labeled "In Picardy.” It shows a tiny French lass of five or six, Or somewhere thereabout, Clinging with one hand To the hand Of a sad-faced woman And extending, Half eagerly, it seems, And half shyly, The other bird like Little claw* To an American soldier A big, upstanding, smiling American soldier, Who is offering her A slice of bread. The woman’s eyes, Heavy with grief, Are fixed on A jumbled mass Of brick and timber Which no doubt Marked the spot That was Her home Before the Vandals Passed that way And all around The pitted -earth, Scarred and torn By shot and shell, Are many other Jumbled masses Of brick and timber That were homes Before the Vandals ? Passed the way And here and there Are riven stumps, Like ragged ghosts, But not a tree Nor any vine Nor any green thing In all the expanse The camera caught There in Picardy. The bleak, complete Desolation an'd^reariness Of that scene is Emphasized by The unutterable despair In the dull gaze And the drooping shoulders And the limp arms Of that stricken woman. Clearly, she Has known the horrors That come with war — War as the Hun Wages war On helpless women And little children Who can’t fight back. But all the wreck And all the >"min Shown in the picture Mean nothing in The young life Of that little kid, Or didn't when The photographer Caught her picture, She had something Far more important At that time To think about. She was watching That piece of bread. And the wolfish, Anxious look In her eyes and on her fats Where Hungar had Left its blight isn’t very good to see. It somehow shames you If you yourself Have just dined well. This same Sunday Newspaper magazine Carries another Picture of a scene Which is quite Unlike the one We have just Tried to describe. It shows the Kaiser the amount of their subscriptions. It's a small thing, you think, and on* subscription account is, but when we count up into the hundreds, the am ount involved is considerable. News papers have recently had an addition al expense added on to their already heavy cost of operation, with a rise in the peaper market, and the increase postage is an item to be reckoned with. , Look on the label of your paper. If it’s past July 18, you can do nothing better than send in that bit you have been planning to send ue. And again we’’ll say, "We thank you.” Rain —rain-rain —everywhere, and we are not getting a drop. “IN PICARVY” By J. D. S. in Macon Telegraph. And his suite (And a fine bunch Of birds they are!) Leaving a church, Where, so the man Who wrote the heads Says, they have been To pray to God To bestow victory On their arms. (Which, by the way, We don’t believe That God will do.) The picture shews This royal thug In all his pride And magnificence. With his breast A gleam with rare And priceless jewels. His followers, too, *•„. Look sleek and cheery. With swinish jowls And piggish eyes And bulging paunches. They haven’t lacked As yet for food. And when we put * This photograph By the side Of that other Showing that woman Bent beneath The weight that lies Upon her heart And that famished Little child With hand outstretched To that soldier (An American, glory be!) Who is offering Her a share Of his own bread It brings us new Faith in the cause That soldier lad is fighting for. And hope comes, too, That in good time The Kaiser will Be called to pay For all the crimes Done in his names. For surely, now, The Power that watches When sparrows fall I Is watching, too, When babies are starved. GIRLS! DRAW A MOIST CLOTH THROUGH HAIR, DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY Try TIPs!

A man giving th name of f, B, Wilson, 23 years old, had his right hand badly crushed last Friday even ing by a passing freight. The hand was dressed by Dr. Wofford, who found it necessary to amputate one finger. Wilson in his statement of the accidentUTaimed That tße injury was done as he was walking beside the railroad track just south of the Main street crorssing. It is believ ed, however, that he was attempting to board the freight, missed his hotu and fell from the moving train. Immediately after his injuries were attended to he left for parts unknown.
