Modern, Up-to-Date Highways for Bartow County up to Citizens
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAKING PLAN
TO CALL ELECTIONFOR ROADS BONDS
Atlanta Firm Awarded Contract For Making Necessary Sur
veys. Preparatory to Issuing Formal Call—Proposition
Made For Purchasing County’s Bonds at Par.—Other Im
portant Business Transacted.
The Board of County Commissioners held one of the most
important sessions in its history. Wednesday, and business of
great import was transacted during the course of this session.
Chairman G. M. Boyd presided over the deliberations, and
Commissioners N. M. Adams, J. J. Calhoun and B. B. Branson
were present.
A contract was awarded to the civil engineering firm of
Johnson & Morgan, of Atlanta, for doing the necessary survey
of county roads, preparatory to issuing the formal call and
setting a date for the proposed bond election. These gentlemen
will go to work at once, and they expect to have within a
reasonable time all the data necessary to include in the call,
regarding the roads on which the bond money is to be spent,
ami the aggregate cost of such work
should the voters of the county say by
their ballots that they want improved,
modern, and really serviceable high
ways for this, the best county in Geor
gia,
Representatives of several bond pur
chasing agents were before the board
during the day, and presetted their
bids for the proposed bonds. The
board, after hearing from thest? repre
sentatives, announced that the Robin -
son-Humphrey Company, of Atlanta,
had agreed to take the bonds, when
formally ratified by the voters, and
validated by the courts, and to pay
therefore par and accured interest.
This company also agrees to assist
the local officials in preparing all the
necessary legal papers, in co-operation
with the county attorney. Judge John
Henry Wikle. This action assures the
county having the money in hand
promptly, when time for beginning the
actual work is propitious.
The Robinson-Humphrey Company
has deposited with the Treasurer an ac
ceptable bond in the sum of eight
thousand dollars, as a guarantee of
their faithful performance of their con
tract.
Undoubtedly, we believe, the citizens
of the county will heartily endorse this
action of the board, and prove their
endorsement very forcibly when the
time comes to cast their ballots for im
proved, modern highways.
The time has come when Bartow
county must take this forward step.
And she never had a better time to
take it, for the Federal Government
and probably the state, will materially
assist each county that builds roads ac
cording to specifications which a num
ber of Georgia counties, including our
neighboring county of Whitfield, have
already accepted.
The board made a re-adjustment of
its contract with Joel Hurt, for sur
facing the Tennessee road, because of
a decrease in the price of oil as a re
sult of the closing of the war. Under
an agreement reached, Mr. Hurt re
funds to the county the sum of three
hundred dollars.
Mr. T. W. Tinsley was elected tax
equalizer .for the Cartersville district,
and Mr. H. W. Paris was named for the
same position in the Adairsville dis
trict.
Hr. Howard Felton was elected
county physician and that honor will be
greatly apreclated by this popular cit
izen of the county. He has been untir
ing in his efforts for the public good
and is fully conversant with the needs
of the county. That he will have the
solid backing of citizens generally goes
without saying, and some very im
portant work will be undertaken by Dr.
Felton at an early date.
Delaney’s Remnant
Store Opens For
Business, Saturday
Delaney’s Remnant Sore will formal
ly open to the public for the first time
Saturday morning, and doubtless a
large crowd will call during the day
to inspect the stock the manager has
placed in his new store, which is in the
Hyatt Hotel Building.
This Is anew business for Carters
ville, and is very nicely arranged, be
ing only recently built by Dr. W. C.
Griffin for this purpose. This store
has some very atraetive show windows
and the manager announces that he
will have some very seasonable offer
ings in them that will prow attractive
to shoppers at all times.

HANSONMOTORCAR
REPRESENTATIVE
WELCOME IN CITY
Kenneth E. Wiliams, of the Hanson
Motor Company is in the city this
week and Is rapidly making friends for
-this, the only southern built car. Mr.
8. J. Gore, operating under the new
firm name of The S. J. Gore Com
pany, is ihe local agent and is very
enthusiastic over the outlook for an.
exceedingly good business.
The Hanson is a southern product
and bids fair to attract the entire mo
tor loving public, says Mr. Gore. The
company which manufactures this car,
a nil whose plant is near the city of At
lanta. has in' its personnel of officers
and stockholders some of thef,jjie§t
; known financiers and business men of
the- South. The financial standing of
these men is such as to warrant the
assumption that the Hanson Motor
Company will make rapid strides in the
development of the automobile indus
try in the South.
BIRDS TO BE GIVEN
SEVERAL MONTHS' REST
The birds will be given several
months’ rest now. The hunting sea
son came to an end Friday and tne
bars will not be let down again until
November 20th. The season which has
just closed has been a fairly good one,
sportsmen say, but the weather has
undoubtedly saved the life of hundreds
of patridges.

BARTOW COUNTY NEXT SATURDAY
Full Roster of Committees Published in This Issue of The Tri

March 22nd.
Reports reaching Gartersville this week state that plans are
now practically complete for holding meetings in every school
district in Bartow county next Saturday, for the purpose of
presenting the plam known as the “Safe Farming Basis,” and
securing as many pledges as possible from farmers who are
vitally interested in the county’s welfare.
The first part of this week a letter, signed by H. C. Stiles,
chairman, and M. L. Fleetwood, secretary, was sent out to
every citizen of the county, whose name is published below.
These gentlemen were instructed, at the meeting held at the
Court House, Monday, February 24th, to arrange for these
meetings, and to see that every district in the county was fully
informe dof the plan. The meetings to be held next Saturday,

The electrical regulator, through
which current supplying the street
lights on the East Side of Cartersville
passes, burned out recently, and it will
be several days yet before it can be
repaired. City Manager Cook went to
work on the regulator at once, and
sent it to the factory for complete
overhauling.
the distinguished visitors.
It has been suggested that
the visitors be shown about
the county, that they may
learn of the great variety of
diversification carried on by
our people, both in farmnig
and mining. This feature will
prove a revelation to the vis
itors.
Plans are being arranged
to entertain about two hun
dred bankers during the cne
day convention.
therefore, are a part of the efforts to
bring about a consummation of the
“Safe Farming” idea. This idtea is
nothing more nor less than a plan to
induce farmers to plant food crops
first, and then, after assuring ample
food for man and beast, to plant the
rest of their land, if they so choose, in
cotton.
Government experts, who have given
years of study to fanning methods,
agree upon this basis alone, does the
safety of the farmer lie, and the move
ment cannot help but prove beneficial
to the entire coupty.
County Meeting in Cartersville
At the meetings next Saturday, it is
hotted many signatures will be secured
to the better farming pledge, and The
Tribune-News expects to publish a
list of signers from each district.
Therefore, all secretaries of , these
meetings should send in their lists im
mediately after their meeting closes.
Then, on Saturday, March 22nd, it is
planned to hold a monster farmers’
rally in Cartersville, at which time it is
planned to hold one of the most inter
esting meetings of Bartow county far
mers gathered in years. Plans will ba
laid for the year's undertakings, and
every farmer in the county is not only
cordially invited, butearnestly urged
to attend, and fully acquaint himself
with the proposed plans.
