v r OL i. 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.

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?
