if SEND ODD TRADE AWAY? WHY
NO! KEEP OUR MONEY KT HOME?
Are You Sure You Save Money on the Face
of Your Transactions With Mail Order
Houses? Did This Man?
Down in Alabama some time ago a man
went into a store to buy a saw. He saw the
kind he wanted and asked the price. It was
$1.65, the dealer said.
“Good gracious,” said the man; “I can
get the same thing from the mail order house
for $1.35.
“That’s less than it cost me,” said the
dealer; “but I’ll sell it on the same terms as the
mail order house, just the same.”
“All right,” said the customer. “You
can send it along and charge it to my account.’’
“Not on your life,” the dealer replied.
“No charge accounts. You can’t do business
with the mail order house that way. Fork
over the cash.
The customer complied.
“Now, two cents postage and five cents
for a money order. ’
“What—”
“Now, two cents postage and five cents
for a money order, to a mail order house, you
know.”
“The customer, inwardly raving, kept to
his agreement and paid the seven cents.
“Now twenty-five cents expressage.”
“Well, I’ll be ,” he said, but paid
it, saying: “Now, hand me that saw and 111
take it home myself and be rid of this foolery.”
“Hand it to you? Where do you think
you are? You’re in Alabama and I m in
Chicago, and you’ll have to wait two weeks
lor that saw.”
Whereupon the dealer hung the saw on
a peg and put the money m his cash drawer.
“That makes $1.67,” he said. “It has
cost you two cents more and taken you two
weeks longer to get it than if you had paid my
price in the first place.” —Hidden Hints.
FIRST COTTON BLOOMS

PAINFUL INJURY.
Mr. R. P. Eaves, a popular merchant

a number of weeks from the result of
a painful injury which at first appear

.Mr. Eaves, as is known by his
friends, is an enthusiastic fisherman,
and recently a fish hook fixed itself
in his index finger. It was cut out mu
not otherwise treated as no tears
were entertained that any complica

the wound became infected and . •
Eaves has been caused to suffei • £rrea
pain and his general co ° dit ‘°“ **
been made serious by it. On Tuesda

CAIU'EUSVILLE, GA., JUNE 25, 1914
PREPARATIONS MADE FOR A
CELEBRATION Of THE FOURTH
Cartersville Plans to Have a Day Long to
Be Remembered and the Hosts
Are Coming.
Cartersviile’s Fourth of July for 1911
will be a hummer.
The city streets have already been
decorated by the stringing of large
number of pennants and within the
next few days the stores and residenc
es will he gayly bedecked for the oc
casion.
The committee having the' celebra
tion in charge have issued the offic
ial program which appears in another
column of this paper.
The L. &. N. Railroad has agreed to
provide special equipment and reduc
ed rates applicable between Eton and
Cartersville and this will be an induce
ment which will bring thousands to
Cartersville from the territory cover
ed by this railroad company.
The Seaboard Airline Railroad will
provide a special train leaving Rock
mart to arrive in Cartersville at 9:30
and leaving Cartersville at 6:30 and
arriving in Rockmart at 7:30.
The merchants of Cartersville guar
antee that the railroad companies will
reap a big revenue as a result of this
step, and everybody along the line
should take advantage of this oppor
tunity. ,
Those who are contemplating a visit
on this day should carefully read the
program so that none of the attrac
tive features provided will escape
them.
It will be observed that the races
will be among the best ever provided
for an occasion of this kind in Geor
gia, and the committee has been put
to great expense in providing this
special entertainment. Having spent
a large amount of money on it, they
have sought to make it the very best
racing event to be obtained.
The Fifth Regiment Band, of Atlan
ta. will furnish the music for the oc
casion, and those who are acquainted
with this musical organization do not
hesitate to give it first place among
the brass ibands of the south.
One of the interesting features of
the day will be the fire run. Mr. Hoyt
Hazlewood, driver of the horses, has
frequently contended with Commis
sioner W. R. Satterfield that upon a
fire alarm being turned in he coaid
hitch his horses to the apparatus,
start it out and overtake Mr. Satter
field in his automobile before the scene
of the fire was reached. Mr. Satter
field has agreed to put the fire boys
to this test and the conditions of the
agreement are that a house will be
set on fire within the city limits, the
alarm turned in, with Mr. Satterfield s
car in front of the fire house, and upon
the alarm being turned in, Mr. Satter
field is to crank his car and start out,
the fire laddies ait the same time at
taching the horses to the fire appara
tus and the purpose will be to run
over Mr. Satterfield's car between the
fire house and the scene of the con
flagration. It is safe to say that this
will furnish a sufficiently thrilling
event tor any day’s entertainment.
No one seems to be willing to ride
with Mr. Satterfield on this occasion
and it is probable that he will make
the run in his car alone.
A large number of booster trips
iiave been and are being taken in var
ious directions from Cartersville cir
culating advertising matter, pennants
and circulars giving principal events
which will take place.
Messrs. W. C. Dodgen, Chas. F. Fain,
C L. Collins have already taken a trip
uj) the L. & N. Railroad and report
that the people are greatly interested
and are surely coming to Cartersville
on the Fourth.
Messrs. W. A. Leake, Paul Gilreath
and John P. Adair will take an auto
mobile trip of a similar nature to Ce
dartown, Rome and other points.
Mr. J. W. Vaughan and a party will
take in Ada J rsville and towns and
communities adjacent thereto.
Sheriff-elect W. W Calaway with a
congenial party are going to Canton,
Woodstock and other places.
Mr. W. H. Field, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Cartersville.
will conduct a party to Marietta and
other points.
From all the signs visible all the
towns and surrounding country are
highly interested in the celebration
and the committee is looking for
10,000 visitors on this day.
One of the most interesting features
of the day will be the assembling of
automobiles in Cartersville tor the
purpose of taking all the small child
ren on automobile rides. Every child
will be entitled to a ride and the cars
will be handled by experienced chauf
feurs so that the children will be per
fectly safe and at the same time be
enabled to see the principal attrac
tions in and around and about Car
tersville.
On this day Mr. A. G. White will
make a special effort to assemble all
the Ford automobiles in this county
and this in itself will cause many to
wonder, who do not now know, how
many machines of this make are in
use in this county.
Altogether, prospects were never
fairer for a brighter and more delight
ful occasion than will be the Fourth
of July tor 1914 in Cartersville.
FIERCELY MAD—TRUTH
AROUSES HER ANGER.
She was his daughter-in-law. The
husband had been railroading for
years, getting a salary of $65.00 per
month.
The old man on his next passing
visit, asked, “How’s all; how is Sam
getting on?” “O, he’s doing fine now,
been promoted to conductor, and had
his wages raised, getting $90.00 a
month. We are going to save some
money now.”
“Well, a man that never saved at
$65.00 will never save at $90.00,” said
the wise old man, and passed on.
The son’s wife got fiercely mad.
That sting (of truth) ranked in her
soul.
Without detail or explanation, let
it be known that for 44 years this sal
ary was drawn each month, until time
and a natural death claimed the veter
an railroader, and never a dollar was
saved.
Suppose there had been a building
and loan association to invite and en
courage his saving, adding each month
|ts attractive profits to his savings,
what would the widow have owned in
the way of insurance?
$lO each month put away for that
time would have given her over
$12,000.00. The power of compound in
terest is forceful and astonishing. If
this regularity of saving had been by
building and loan help and been in
vested into a home or farm, a great
natural increase would have added to
their wealth, and left the bereft one
with what woman ought to have —a
home.
Local railroad employees vouch for
the authenticity of this narrative, la
menting that one so worthy and popu
lar failed to discern the importance
of “providing for the rainy day.”
The Tribune often calls attention to
our local association, in a way to carry
to the great, reading public the untir
ing efforts of its officers in trying to
develop the spirit of self hell) —begin-
ning at home. The Cartersville local
association was organized to teach
saving, encourage thrift, and provide
homes and farms for every worthy cit
izen.
Is it safe?
Yes, because every dollar goes into
first mortgage loans, upon which a
small monthly payment is made upon
the principal, reducing the debt, adding
to the security, making stronger the
association as each day passes.
There is no place to put money safe
ly that yields so much return as a
local Building & Loan Association,
giving the investor or saver 3 % to 4%
twice each year. There is no easier
w r ay to own a farm or home than to
seek the help of an institution of this
character, where small regular pay
ments can be made on long or short
terms, and where all the profit is di
vided back to the borrower every six
months.
May and June have proven the great
est months in the history of our local
association in point of service—mak
ing loans to owr. farms and homes.
Each month adds to an increased as
set until now they mount up to over
$105,000.00. Are you a member?
