THE TRIBUNE NEWS Published Weekly at Cartsrsvlli*. Ga by THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY (Incorporated) WILTON L. FLEETWOOD Pr.s dsnt and Ed.tar The straight road is not always easiest. Have you a little radio phone in your home? Sixteen pages! Who says normalcy in t nearly here? In the death of Charlie Butler, Cartersville loses a good citizen, and one whose passing is sincerely mourned. All his friends are delighted to see Rev. John E. Barnard out again—none more so than his loyal members. Looking for bargains—places to save money? Glance thru the advertisements in this issue of The Tribune-News. You can hear something interesting and worth while at the Welfare Conference. Be there, and see if this ain’t so! 0 The knitting mills are the pride of the community. It has one of the ablest corps of officers ever gathered under one roof. Don’t be a gossip, a snob, or any one of their numerous first cousins. You will lose all your friends if you continue to be one. Smile, dog-gone you, smile. This section is in better shape, and getting better every day, than any other in the entire South! The Bertha Mineral Company is doing big things in a big way, Lee Womelsdorf is one of the ablest miners in the district, and his company is backing his judgment in every way. Asked a near benedict to write us one of these on matrimony, and the dangers thereof. He gracefully decline; said he might have something to say, later. Looks like the cotton marketing plan is go ing over in Bartow. Just shows what co-oper ation will do. It literally moves mountains of opposition. Some of the best citizens have written their name on the dotted hr. 2. Preston Arkwright ran into a hornet’s nest when he went to Rome and during his speech before the Rotarians suggested that all mem bers of the Municipal League of Georgia were Socialists, Bolshevists, or something like that. Funny thing, some people will tell you about how to run a newspaper, but when you ask them to write up some of the delinquen cies they know about, and sign their name to the article—a crawfish never ran faster to cover! Sheriff Puckett and his deputies are going after the moonshiner and making his bed any thing but one of roses, these days. Good, Mr. Sheriff—all decent citizens will stand back of you! The bootlegger and his ilk must go, sooner or later. Might as well be now. Do you want baseball this summer? Show just how badly you do want it by attending the meeting at the City Hall Friday even ing at 7 o’clock. Harris Cope says this meet ing will likely decide the matter for this sea son. A Clean-Up Campaign. Backed by the strong support of the ladies of the Cherokee Club and the gentlemen of the Chamber of Commerce, City Manager Cook, in this issue*of The Tribune-News an nounces details for a general, city-wide clean up campaign that should enlist the whole hearted support of all our people. During the winter months, premises are allowed to become unsightly; tin cans and rubbish of every conceivable kind are left where they are thrown. By the time spring rolls around, conditions are such that a clean up campaign is the thing to inaugurate. This the City Manager has decided upon with his usual vim and vigor. He announces plans insuring the co-operation of the city forces. These, joined with the support of cit izens generally, should, and doubtless will, insure a clean, spotless city. Cartersville deserves to be known as a clean city—clean of filth, clean morally and in every other way. Let’s get behind the powers that be, and see that success crowns their efforts. A Worth-While Event. Next Sunday afternoon there opens at the Methodist church a conference, the import ance of which cannot be overestimated. This meeting is, as its name implies, a wel fare conference of the first magnitude. It is not often that Cartersville has had an opportunity to have within its gates speakers of the reputation and ability as those who are coming here to take part in the program, which opens Sunday afternoon, and continues with a union service in the evening, and three meetings on next Monday. Ladies and gentlemen from all sections of Northwest Georgia have accepted invitations to be present at that conference, and the out look is that the attendance will be large. Family Service and Rehabilitation to Nor mal Life; Child Protection Work With De pendent and Delinquent Children; Humaniz ing County Jails; Courts as a Social Agency; Public Health and the Community; Tubercu losis as a State roblem; Public Health From the Standpoint of a Private Practitioner; The Health of the School Child; Woman’s Clubs and Public Welfare; Nutrition Work in Car tersville Schools; Special Training for the Handicapped ; Social Hygiene and Work With Delinquent Girls; Community Organization; Community Recreation; Mental Hygiene— These are some of the head-line topics for discussion during the two-day conference. The include matters that should be of spe cial interest to every citizen, and all who at tend any one of these meetings may rest as sured that their time will be well spent, and that information received there may save countless lives. And, after all, isn’t health about the most important thing we can think about? Ask the man sick abed, what he thinks about health— he will tell you it is more precious than gold! The people of Cartersville have an oppor tunity of showing their well-known and far famed community spirit when these visitors come Sunday and Monday. The Tribune-Newo feels that a word to the wise is sufficient, and that when this confer ence adjourns next Monday evening, our vis itors will go away singing the praises of this city’s hospitality, and crown Cartersville “the Brightest Gem in the Diadem of the Etowah.” Outlaws Must Leave Bartow. The County Commis; oners would have the public know they did offer that $250 re ward for the apprehension x)f the perpetra tors of that outrage committed at the hoifte of J. Will Smith. That gentleman deserves, and should have, the backing of all good citizens who believe in law and order. May the time never come when any citizen of Bartow must leave his property, because a bunch of outlaws demand that he do so. The quicker the shackles are put on them, and a job on the rock-pile assigned them, the better for the county. When You’re Not Indispensable. “When a man begins to think that the business can’t run without his services, the boss generally has so much curiosity he wants to try it out,” suggests the Quitman Free Press. And the Greensboro Herald-Journal adds: “No man’s services are indispensable to a busi ness. Many a fellow has received the pink slip when he thought the boss would have to close up business if he wasn’t connected with the enterprise.” Just Suppose They Had Been Page Ads! A little want ad, published ten months ago, was remembered, and resulted in good business going to the advertiser. The same thing happened about a want ad published three months ago. It will happen again in connection with want ads published in this issue. Does advertising really pay? Well, just ask those who are the most consistent ad vertisers. A Born Hustler. 1 hat fellow' J. V. Ormond, from Elba, Ark., has made a host of friends among farm ers and buiness men, generally. He leaves with the best of good wishes for continued suc cess, in Alabama, where his next field of labor lies, in behalf of the co-operative cotton-sell ing movment. Save This Valuable Property, Gentlemen. Ihe hair Ground property should be pre served. The set of officers, cctpnty or city, who purchased them now, might not receive all the appro nation such an act would dessrve, but future genrations would certainly rise up and call them blessed. This is too fine a tract of land to be used for any other than pleasure purposes. THU TRIBUNK-NETVS, GARTER&VTLLE. GA., MARCH 30, 1922. A LESSON IN MARKETING Those who complain about poor mar. should gel acquainted with Babe Ruth, baseball star, and learn from him how it is done Ruth has found the key that unlock* the treasury door. He is to receive seventy-five thousand dollars a year for the next five years for playing baseball through the dull summer months on a New York team, and in addition he will receive a bonus of five hundred dollars for each home run he sends over the fence off into the bleach ers. Last year Ruth clouted out some thing like sixty home runs and received no extra pay for them. This year the eilver will rattle when he *oe# to the bat. There are many ball players wanting jobs, but Ruth worries little about competition. He had something he was pretty sure there was a demand for, and he waited until the market got right- Other stars were signing around him fifteen, twenty-five and thirty thous and dollars, but Ruth was not nervous; he just waited. The playing season approaching and the boys were getting ready to hike away to the south for practice, but Ruth, without a contract was perfectly calm- Finally it came the contract with the Ruth figures written in it, and a request for signa ture. There is where Ruth connected up. Let those who are marketing a slow moving product remember that there is a quality to be attained that will command the market. First get the article the people want, and then sit down and wait for the price. And do not be too modest about asking your price. The buyer will not pay more than the seller ask. Ruth could have signed up some weeks ago a fifty thousand and no bonus, but he had a price. Ruth is reputed to be a man who has a price on every thing. Some months ago a sport writer was prepar ing an article for a great American magazine and approached Ruth with the request for a picture to be publish ed with the story in the magazine. Ruth calmly informed him that he would pose for a picture for a certain price. He was not giving away any pictures and was not allowing maga zines to use his face in vain. The secret of marketing is knowing how to market. Thinking and prepar ing and scheming ail beat whining. Ruth is not complaining about hard times and poor business and a financial stringency. Looks like perfectly good times to him. He trusted in his own merit and his nerv* to hold out for his price rather than to the quotation on the market page. He produced some thing that buyers ran after and bid for at a lively rate. The Ruth feat can be duplicated in any line. You can. by Improving your wares and creating a demand, get your price. Sometimes you have to put your prod uct on cold storage or in a warehouse and wait, but the buyer and the price will be along in due season —Athens News. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The price of hogs have advanced 50 per, cent in the lust few weeks. The Cotton market is stronger; and there is expectation that we will soon see a material advance in the price. The price of wheat has advanced ma terially of late. Oats and hay are higher. Corn is also higher. Wool has advanced considerably in the last few weeks. Bonds are higher. The interest rate, or the discount rate has been lowered The money situation is said eased up all over the count''.'. There is enough money now for any legitimate business. Isn't the thing we have been waiting for coming to pass? It is just about time to celebrate. Time to take off the long face and wear a broad smile. It is time to get up early, stay up late and work hard. Old opportunity is back with us. He is knocking at the door. He is anxious to come in and do busi ness with us. -Come out of hiding and look around- Come out from the storm cellar. It is practically over. Wonderful how it has cleared up. It is now time to hitch up and go. The crowd will soon be off. Are you going forward, or have you anchored? —The Moultrie Observer. Trees. I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast A tree that looks at God all day. And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain. Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me. But only God can make a tree. —JOYCE KILMER. DO YOU KNOW WHAT OPPORTU NITY IS? LISTEN! "Master of human destinies am I Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait. Cities and fields 1 walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace —soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate If sleeping, wake —if feasting, rise be fore l turn away. It is the hour of fate. And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate Condemned to failure, penury and woe. Seek me in vain, and uselessly implore: I answer not, and I return no more. 1 “Bartow County In Ye Olden Days” “TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO” FR*M CDURANT-AMERICAN, ISSUE OF APRIL I*t, 1897. An Incident Remembered to This Day On Tuesday night about 19 o clock the fire alarm sounded, and the firemen rushed to the scene of the fire, which was the small wooden structure where Mr A. 8 Parnell kept a restaurant. The hook and ladder company was the first on the scene, and some quick work was done in bursting in the front, when several streams were play ing on the flames, which had gained great headway. Par nell was burned out entirely. S. M. Rhea’s beef market was partially burned. J. W Callahan’s shoe shop was damaged by water slightly. Donahoo Bros., grocers, sus tained the heaviest loss. Just as the firemen were get. hing the department's trappings in shape, after the fire, Marshall Puckett arrested Parnell on a charge that he fired th# restaurant. Mayor Wiki* conducted an exami nation. and testimony was given by John R. Wiley, John T Norris, Jr., J. E. Field, John Asa Dobbs and others. Parnell was bound over to the superior court in a bond of SSOO. + ♦ ♦ Death of Prominent Matron The death of Mrs. Mary E. Ryals occurred at Capt. J. J Connor's home near the city last Friday. Mrs. Kyals was a widow of the late Rev. J. G. Ryals, well known in North Georgia as an earnest, faithful, forceful minister and educator, and later as professor of theology at Mer cer University. Mr. Ryals was for twenty-nine years moderator of the Middle Cherokee Baptist Association. Mrs. Ryals was a cultured, refined, dignified lady, and consistent Christian. The remains were carried to Ma con for interment. ++ + I Capt. Colhoun Met Unique Character Capt. John J. Calhoun is just back from the moun tains, and tells an interesting story of a man he met at Dawsomille, named Bam Bates. Bates enjoys the dis tinction of being the first man who settled at Denver, Col helping to survey the city, and built the first house that was erected. * ♦ + General Evans Orator of the Day General Clement A. Evans has been chosen by the Ladies' Memorial Association of Cassville to deliver the oration on the occasion of the annual decoration of the soldiers’ graves at Cassville cemetery. ♦ ♦ * A Strong Point With Dr. Lovejoy Rev. W. P. Lovejoy. D. D., of the North Georgia Con ference, has written a pamphlet with the title, "No Mis sions—No Christ," in which he takes the position that a church without the spirit of missions is a church without the spirit of Christ. ♦ ♦ ♦ Veterans Changes! Name of Their Camp A large and enthusiastic meeting of Bartow Camp of Confederate Veterans was held at the court house last Saturday. The Chancery Court of Judge Fite for the hearing of th Lyons divorce case was being held, but Judge Fite cheerfully gave way for the veterans. A prop osition was put forward by Capt. R. R, Hargist, who was one of the followers of General Young In Virginia, to change the name of the camp from that of Camp Bartow to General P. M. B. Young Camp, and the proposition was received with much favor. The Camp went into an elec tion of representatives to the annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, the following being elected: Delegates, D. B. Freeman, A. M. Foute, J. G. Green, G. S. Cobb; alternates, T. F. Jones, T. J, Lyons, T. W. Milner, J. J. Caihoun. + + ♦ When McKinley Was in Power The friends of John A. Colbert, in Cartersville, will be pleased to know that his chances are good for the em ployment of internal Revenue Collector for the Northern District of Georgia, under the McKinley administration. + + <• A Bouquet For Mrs. Felton In speaking of the Georgia women who are interested ir. the Nashville Exposition, the Atlanta Constitution says of Mrs. W. H. Felton: "It is unnecessary to enumer ate the qualities that capacitate Mrs. William H. Felton for any office of responsibility or trust. There are few women in Georgia who have met with more distinguished honors than has Mrs. Felton. She represented Georgia at large at the Chicago fair, was chairman of the exec utive committee of the Woman’s Department of the At lanta Exposition, and is foremost in every movement un dertaken, for the good of Georgia, men and women. Mrs. Felton, as chairman of by-laws, occupies an important position, of which she is most worthy." + + + PINE LOG LOCALS. Mr. E. L. Up shaw and sisters, accompanied by their cousin, Miss Ora Vaughan, came down from Fairmount last Friday evening. Mr. Hudson Vernon, of Stamp Creek, came up last Saturday on his wheel. Mr. Julia Maxwell is spending a while with friends and relatives in Atlanta. Our county School commissioner, Mr. Clayon, visited the school at this place one day last week. + + + GRASSDALE LOCALS. Mr. R. C. Saxon has returned from middle Georgia, where she has spent the winter Miss Maggie Weems, accompanied by Miss Maybell Williams, of Waleska. visited home folks the past week-end. These two are the only young ladies in the graduating class at Rhinehart College. The Bon ton affair of the season was a pink luncheon given to Miss Mary Lizzie Renfroe, in honor of her sixth anniversary. Those invited were: Misses Fan nie and Mary Davenport, Pine Log; Bonnie and Kate Saxon, Selma Seheuer, Jpssie Daves, and sister. Carters ville; Master Alien Battle, Cassville; Miss Mattie Surratt Newspapers, Newspaper Readers And News. There is Rood advice in something the Mou’.trie Ob server says about matter sent to newspapers for publica tion after men and women die —matter of interest to friends and relatives of the dead and to the public gen- and which the local paper would be glad to publish if handed in at the proper time. What the Moultrie paper says is bluntly to the point, and is as follows: The Observer still receives a few obituary notices with poetry, etc., after the deceased has been resting in the grave for days or weeks. A lot of good people die, and many of them fail to have all of the good things said or published that are true. It is not pos sible, however, for newspapers to furnish free space for lengthy'and sentimental articles, poorly written, that come along after the per-on written about has been dead. We will be glad to give almost unlimited space to death notices if they are sent in while they are news. The time to report a death to a newspaper is the hour the death occurred. Send full information. Give a list of members of the family. Recount all of the good deeds you can credit to the deceased- Go not wait until it has rained on the grave and then get some sentimental person to write a long story finish ing up with poetry. That’s old style. Newspaper customs have moved away from it. And while we have these things in mind, let us add that the rule holds good in the matter of much other news. Newspapers are desirous of printing all legit imate news items of local interest. That is their busi- “FIFTY YEARS AGO” FROM THE CARTERSVILLE STANDARD AND EXPRESS, ISSUE OF MARCH 28th, 1872. They Celebrate Their Golden Wedding Day Our handsome and much esteemed young friend and former fellow townsman, Samuel F. Milam, of the firm of Satterfield, Pyron & Company. Chattanooga, Tennessee, made a descent upon our quiet town on yesterday tWed nesday) morning, and bore off as his own lawful prize, one of our brightest Jewels, in the person of the beautiful and accomplished Miss M. Ida Milner. The happy and congenial couple were married at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Lou Milner, in this place, by Rev. T. O. . Smith, at eight o’clock A M , and immediately took tho train for Chattanooga, Tennessee, their now home. * Beneath the sublime heights of the towering and ma jestic Lookout and upon the sun-lit plains of the rolling Tennessee, may the days of their honeymoon be spent in matrimonial felicity, and their path through life be as happy and as pleasant as th@ scenery which'surrounds them is beautiful. * * * In the Days of Ferries on the Etowah A gentleman living just across the river from Carters ville, lost a mule and wagon loaded with corn and bacon one day last week, at Col. Lewis Tumlin’s private ferry, near his mill, by the fore wheels of the wagon striking the flat with such force as to break it loose from its moor ings upon entering it. One mule broke loose from the wagon and was droned These are the facts as they came to our ear. ♦ ♦ ♦ Beautiful Resi.’-inces Now Adorn Them What is the m alter with those beautiful building lots on the Salter estate, in this place, are not thrown upon the market? Several of them are very desirable lots, indeed. + + ♦ An Citizen Remembered by Many Day Boarders Wanted —Having become a citizen of Cartersville, I will accommodate a half-dozen day board ers, if application is made soon. Residence near the Methodist church, recently occupied by J I. Chamberlain. For further particulars, apply to me at my residence. Samuel Yetman. * * ♦ As the Editor Saw It in 1872 Several of our old subscribers who had their paper discontinued, some time oack, on the plea of poverty, have recently returned and re-subscribed, that “they could not get along without it.” An honest confession is good for the soul. That the Standard and Express is worth the pitiful sum of $2 a year to every family in Bartow count 1s an undeniable fact. It is worth that for wrapping paper, or making family patterns, if for noth ing else. But there are many women and children de nied the pleasure of the weekly visits, just because the husband and father is too penurious, or imagines he is not able, or cherishes a petty prejudice against the paper, or one or all of its editors. Everybody knows, who has given the matter any consideration, that a local news paper is nearly every citizen’s vehicle of thought, and its columns are open to the discussion of every enterprise in the land, all public calls and appeals to the people are made through Its columns, reforms are instituted by Us suggestions, crime exposed, in fact, it is the advocate of every man's interest in the section where it is published. No class of public men are asked and expected to do more gratis work than newspaper men. A community is always judged abroad by the character and appearance of the paper or papers published in their midst. "Like priests, like people," may also be fitly applied to newspa pers. If the Standard & Express falls short in one fea ture above another, it is in the patronage bestowed upon it by the business men of Cartersville generally. Some few of them come up nobly and liberally to its support, our advertising columns show who they are; the larger majority, of them, however, give but a meager or no pat ronage to the paper at all. unless, it may be in the sub scription, when it really takes the subscription price to pay the expenses of its publication—that is. the white paper on which the paper is printed. * + + Kind Words For the Baptists No one who lives in this community and who is any thing of a close observer, has certainly failed to mark the harmony and unity which exists among the members of the Baptist church in this place. Christian fellowship is held in high esteem by every one of them, from the least to the greatest. Both pastor and flock are moved by one spirit, with but one object in view, "That all things done by them be done in decency, and in order to the glory of God." The pastor is perfectly enshrined in the affection of his flock and vice versa. When the bell signals the hour for worship, there is no framing of flimsy excuses for staying away from church on the part of the mem bership, but all who are able fill their accustomed seats with itching ears to hear the message of lov e from the under-shepherd, whom the Great Shepherd has sent to lead them into green pastures and beside still waters ” The message delivered, all return home, not to discuss the sermon in a theological bearing upon abstract princi ples, but to think on th e truths to which they have list ened. No criticisms are expressed as to his style of de livery. or as to who he is or from whence he came. We say this much to the credit of that church —its devoted Christian pastor, and his confiding and orderly flock. and Nannie Best Irick, Masters William Milner and ,Em mett Munford, Grassdale. The hours were from two to five. Miss Renfroe was very becomingly attired and re ceived her guests with the ease and grace so natural to her. ness. They are pleased to chronicle pleasant things about people who come and go. their social activities, and so forth and so on. During business hours there is always somebody in the news office ready to an swer the phone and receive items of personal men tion. Has Mrs. So-and-So a guest? Is Mrs. Somebody Else to give a party? Are they leaving soon to spend the summer away from home? The newspaper folks will be delighted to have some thoughtful person call the office and give in the information, for by far the greater number of such items appearing in columns reach the papers in just that way. But (and this is a familiar story in every news paper office) there are dozens scores, perhaps hun dreds of folks in the average good-size town who do not ring up the news department to give in the items they would like to see printed do not request any of their friends to perform the service for them, do not intimate that there are visitors in the home or a party on the tapis, yet do feel -lighted and maybe hurt be cause these things are not chronicled in the local paper. It is astonishing how many folks there are who do not realize that newspaper men and women cannot know things unless they see them, hear them or read about them And if perchance this falls under the eye of one who has been negligent in matters of this kind, may we hope that what is here set forth will b@ re ceived as friendly admonition and serve as a reminder in time to come? —Albany Herald.
