'Kiagston and Adairsville are getting on the map through The Tribune-News. 4 If street and sidewalk paving bonds were voted for on a rainy day, we know what the voters would do. You will have an opportunity to vote on good roads bonds in Bartow county before India a summer comes again. — -4 Merchants are taking a bigger loss than you would believe possible—and the ma jority of them are taking it with a smile. - Cartersville must have paved streets in her business section, and paved sidewalks over town, before she can grow and pros per, as she deserves to do. The Stilesboro folks plan a big rally at their school house next Tuesday. The la dies will serve refreshments, and a big time is guaranteed for all who attend. Young boys loafing around town at night get into mischief in spite of them selves. Later they land in jail, unless they check up. and set about becoming good cit izens. —.4 * The speeder still goes on trying to kill somebody. Some day he will do that thiiu and then complain about stern justice hal ing him before a jury of his peers on a man slaughter charge. —— + Everybody is congratulating the Metho dist congregation on having Rev. S. A. Har ris for their pastor again next year. He is a real nobleman, a good preacher, and one of the best pastors that ever filled the local pulpit. If you want to hear a woman talk, who can talk, and say some mighty interesting things while she is talking, just make your plans right now to go out and hear Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, at the Methodist church Friday evening of next week. * Fight—don’t FEAR anything—FEAß never won a victory, and FEAR won’t help you out of a hole, if you happen to find yourself in one at this time. Fight harder than you ever fought before, and the bright side will show itself sooner than you expected. .lust do this: Before going out of town to buy what you need, look over the wares carried in your home town. Nine times out of ten, you will find just what you want, at a more reasonable price, than it can be bought for in any city, or from a mail order catalogue. This is plain. Common sense: that’s all. The Cartersville Council of the Junior Order will hold its annual public religious service at the East Side Baptist church next Sunday morning, and Rev. Gordon Ezzell. of Rome, will deliver the address on this occasion. 1 his is a representative organi zation, and is doing a fine sendee in the community life. ■ + Think what a bonded warehouse-would -mean to the cotton farmers of Bartow coun ty! It’s receipts would be good as gold, marketable anywhere, thus assuring an ample flow of money in this period when A is not quite as elastic as many hoped it would be along about now. If you are ever approached with a request to take stock in a bonded warehouse, think about these facts, and we know you will do your duty. Georgia Products Attracting I . Attention. p The products of Georgia are* rapidly forging to the front and attracting attention in all parts of the country, because they are being advertised in a way that attracts at tention. More than one agency has been set in motion to bring this about, and still others are planned, possibly the most important being the “Advertise Georgia Campaign,” now under way in this state. When one section of the state prospers, all sections profit; there can be no doubting on this score. For that reason The Tribune-News pub lishes an editorial clipped from the Charle roi (Pa.) Daily Mail, published in the old home town of Mr. B. C. Sloan, one of the leading citizens of Cartersville, who has fa vored us with a late edition, from which the following is taken; A DESIRABLE INDUSTRY. “The Georgia-Florida Cane Growers’ Association announces a membership of some 1,500 growers of sugar cane, a mem bership representing ‘about 80 per cent of fh • total acreage in cane in the twelve coun ties in G' or;#a and Florida that produce practically all this product.” The first ob ject of the association is to encourage farm ers to continue growing corn from year to year. The second object is to ‘encourage the making of a finer grade of syrup,’ and the third is to ‘extend the selling territory and inert use the demand by judicious advertis ing.’ . “For this last endeavor there has long been a great need. The general American public associates the American sugar cane industry wholly with the state of Louisiana, yet a fine variety of sugar cane has been grown in the southern counties of Georgia for half a century and more and the syrup produced in the annual autumn ‘sugar boil ings’ in that*section is superior to anything of the kind on the market. What is known as New Orleans rpolasses is poor stuff by comparison, and many prefer the Georgia product even to the best pure maple syrup. Some of those acquainted with the rare good quality of this South Georgia product have often wondered why the industry does net grow and the demand fdr so excellent a syrup become country wide. In the past these cane growers of the South Atlantic secboard have produced only enough for ll c a own use and a small surplus for sa The Georgia-Florida Cane Growers’ Asso ciation could perform a useful public serv ice by developing this highly desirable in dustry.” Fay a Little of It Now. Here is a timely suggestion from one of 1 our exchanges that will bear careful read ing and thought at this time: Many have taken the attitude that it appears that cotton has come down to stay dov. n and are getting rid of it in the usual manner. They have observed that wheat : and other sectional crops have had big 1 losses in price and that it is all a part of ; the re-adjustment which had to come to the country and they will take their losses with as pleasant a state of mind as possible, i While it possibly isn’t policy to sell all t our cotton at this time, yet fair-minded l men hold that it is only the fair thing for i the farmers to sell some of their cotton and < pay some of their bills. 1 When things are in temporary dis arrangement and money is expensive and scarce, it helps the average merchant a great deal to have his customers come in and pay a little something on their ac counts. even if they do not pay all. The same thing is true at the banks. Us ually the banks are loaned-out to the limit, but new friends and old friends want tem porary accomodation from time to time, and if those who have borrowed before do not pay all or a part they owe, then the funds of the bank become non-elastic and that institution cannot serve the community as it would wish. Pay the merchant, and they can pay the banks. Keep money going and there will be less unemployment and more happiness. —.— + — : With sewer work done, and thousands of dollars saved in letting home folks do it. what’s the reason we can’t have some street paving done by those same folks? ♦ • Better get your cotton in out of the I weather. You are throwing dollars to the I winds every day it remains out of a ware- ! house. Even at present prices, cotton is worth saving. ■ram vftJßtria A Few Practiy.xjsn, ~e.<nß For Future Farm jons. The drop in the'price of cotton t,his fall is bringing Southern farmers’ attention to crop diversification with startling serious- i 1 ‘ Down in Coweta county the chamber of commerce .has a half page advertisement in the Newnan Herald, with a call to “safe farming for 1921.” They suggest the following crops for a one-horse farm of thirty acres: Cotton- live or six acies —break land‘be*for** Ohrist-* mas. Corn ten acres; break land before Christmas (sow peas or velvet'beans in the corn) Oats— five acres; sow at once -follow with peas Wheat- -two and one-half acres; sow at once— follow with peas. As supplementary money crops, four or five acres of the following are suggested: Sweet potato*H, peanuts, sorghum, cantaloupes watermelons, pepper and vegetables for town mar ket. Choose such of these as suits your conditions, or use corn and velvet beans for part of area. Two and a half acres are suggested for hog grazing crops, for it is presumed that no farmer will plan to buy meat of any one else, the following crops being suggested: live -sow at once; rape—sow in February; soy beans plant In April; corn and velvet beans; pea nuts. sweet potatoes and millet. In addition to these crops, it is held that the successful farmer on a one-horse farm will also have a— Gardon —one - half acre. Live stock—-one brood sotv and one crow’. If any particular farmer has a two, or three, or four-horse farm, then the acreage and quantities should be increased in pro portion. The Coweta Chamber of Commerce says that if the farmers of that county will fol low some such plan then the crops outlined should provide the food for the farm fam ily, and should afford for sale surplus corn, oats, and hogs, besides the cotton and sup plementary crops. Twenty-three farmers in that county have signed up to follow that system in their cropping next year. The suggestion is followed by this statement from the Chamber or Commerce to the farmers of that county: Tin* present situation in our county is serious, and demands careful thought. We must not lose our heads, but must face the situation with a clear under standing- Economy and thrift,must be put into prac tice in every instance. Practical plans must be made for next year’s farming and put into operation as soon as possible. It must be understood that pres ent conditions will not last always, and things will begin to get better in time. Let each one make up his mind to DO HIS BEST and all work together to overcome the present situation, for NOW and AL WAYS. he plant outlined above has been adopted by the farmers whose names are signed thereto, and we offer you this as a suggested pla n of opeation for next year The above, from The Cobb County Times, should be read with more than ordinary in terest, because of its very practical as well as timely nature.’ The farmers of Bartow county might well profit by following such a plan as above outlined, because it is a certain guarantee against any “tights” in future, as well as holding out a guarantee of enough to eat in any event—come what may: High pri ces or low prices; markets breaking or mar kets holding steady. It’s worthy of very serious consideration. “ DIXIE ” I wish I was in d£ land ob cotton, Old times dar am not forgotten. Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

STRIKE LASTED SIX YEARS Railroad Walkout That Began in 1914 Has Only Recently Been Offi cially Called Off. Here is a railroad strike that ran through a world war; stood compla cently by while almost the entire com plexion of the eastern hemisphere underwent changes, and might still be running had not the strike committee suddenly thought of It, and decided It officially over. Another strange thing about the strike is that no one knew anything about it until it was over. The strike begun March 18, 1914, when 750 freight trainmen laid down their brake sticks in the various termi nals of the Monongahela division of Hie Pennsylvania railroad, declaring for improved working conditions and protesting the reduction of train crew.. “It was an outlaw strike,” said an official of the Pennsylvania railroad, ‘and was ended by the railroad broth erhoods two weeks after its inception.” The strike might have been ended, but i lie strike committee never de clared it officially off until at a meet ing the other night. Most of the men, it is understood, who went out, returned to work years ago. Light of the Spade In History. At Segontiura was established the last Roman fort, at the terminus of tlie military road in North Wales. It is this Roman fort which British archeologists now propose to excavate if the suificient sura of $10,(too can he raised to defray the expenses of the work. There are few more obscure periods in the history of Wales than that of the Roman occupation, and it is not to be expected that much light will lie thrown upon it by literary records. Rut the spade may give us what we seek in vain from the written or print ed i>nge, and excavation has already yielded valuable results from Caer went, Gelligaer, Ousted Collen and Caersws. So far. however, nothing lias been done in the northwest cor i er of the principality, that region of Gwynnedd which occupies so large a space in the history of medieval Wales. The proposed excavation of Segnntium may enable this gap to lie filled with accurate If not extensive information. 11l Mf? § J; P ! NO DIFFiCULTV THERE New Mistress—How about the aft> ernoon off?

And now old sea-tanned, weather scarred John Scolvo lumbers out of the grave he has occupied for some 400 years to start a Cook-Peary con troversy with the late Christopher Co lumbus. Through iiis presdnt-du.v spokesman. I>r. Sofus Larsen, librarian of the University' of Coiienhagen. old John, a Dano-Norwegian navigator, claims he heat Columbus to America by 10 years. In a recent publication Doctor Larsen claims Scolvo sailed by way of Greenland and Iceland and landed on the mainland of Labrador in 1470. Doctor Larsen’s work has Iteen translated by J. Christian Bay, head of the medical reference section of the John Crerur library, Chicago, who says he believes Scolvo’s claim is authentically established. Wanted a Short Leave. My small cousin during the war picked up many phrases which were in common use. One day while I was combing her hair she dropped her hair ribbon, which site had been holding. After a few moments, she sighed pro foundly and said. “Would you mind giving me a furlough while I go after that ribbon?” —Exchange. No Place for Them. “How completely the old political rings seem to have passed out.” “Yes. one does not find them on hand as much as they used to be.” AWAY WITH TROUBLE. We do not need to borrow Our trouble for the morrow; We’ll find enough to worry us before we're through today; We waste our time in fretting O’er what’s to come, forgetting * The goodness and the gladness that are spread along the way. This casting up of trouble Will only make it double— Will only wilt the flowers that are sweet' along the road. This being always tearful Instead of waxing cheerful Because of what has gone will only add unto our load. —Exchange, j AGED BUZZARD THOUGHT DEAD Bird. Marked in War of 1812, Present at Every Big Engagement Since Then. The famous “belled buzzard,” known to be more than one hundred years old. Is believed to be dead. A few days ago it was seen on the farm of W. H. Leach, near the mouth of Sec ond creek, West Virginia. It looked to be greatly emaciated and ready to give up its widely-known career. This buzzard lias it small sleigh bell I tied around its neck, which was said | to have been placed there during the j war of 1812. The bird had wars as i its hobby, and is said to have been, present at every battle of size north I of the equator. It has been seen as far south as Peru, although its sum mers were generally spent in tin mountains of West Virginia. During the Mexican trouble, several years ago, it spent two consecutive sum mers on the border. Members of the Leach family saw the bird flying low, with a number of other buzzards accompanying it. It was noticed that the bird had got its beak fastened behind the leather strap which supported the hell, and seemed unable to release itself. An attempt w;ts made to release the buzzard's head, but it became frightened ami flew away. It is felt certain that the bird has since died. jpP“" NOT WHAT IT WAS “Thla back-door begging ain’t what It wuz.” “Naw, deed not, old pal.” “No. With a garage on every let. you don’t git no hand out until youhta waahed a couple of wheels or ptmvpad up a few tlrea.” 0 .The tiling ttiat goes the furthest toward making life worth while. That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again. It’s full of worth and goodness too, with manly kindness blent— its worth a million dollars and it doesn't cost a cent. Seasonable Good Things.
