V OL 4. WHY SEND OUR TRADE MONEY AWAY? WHY NOT KEEPJpONEV AT HOME Citizens Urged to Help Pave Our Own Streets and Sidewalks Instead of Those Of the Big Cities. Sidewalks orMudwalks HIP YOU, Mr. Citizen of this town! Do you want your dollars to build sidewalks in this town, or do you want them to be used in building sidewalks in the big cities? When you send your dollars to the mail-order man they are building side walks for him to walk on; when you spend them with the merchants of this town they will help to build sidewalks for you to walk on. not assist in keeping your own feet out of the mud? Why not assist in making this town a better place in which to live? You can do it by spending your dol lars with the merchants who are paying taxes in this town instead of with those who are payipg taxes in the cities. Are you willing to he a booster for your town , not for that of the mail-order man? Think it over. A NEW SODA FOUNT INSTALLEDJY WORD -Mr. M. F. Word, the popular Rexall druggist, last Saturday installed anew soda fount arid its erection has greatly improved the attractiveness of this store. All who have seen it greatly ad mire it both for its beauty as well as the hygienic attachments and conven iences connected with it. The soda water apparatus was man ufactured by Robert M. Green & Sons, of Philadelphia. The counter is com posed of white Italian marble panels, the front length of which is 12 feet and the return length C feet 6 inches on one end and 3 feet on the other. The slabs are 1 1-4 inches thick. It has 3 fruit bowls, 12 pumps and the ice cream cabinets contain 3-5 gallon capacity each. The height of the top ,or back bar is 14 feet and contains a large beveled mirror. The work board is made ofGerman silver and the drinks mid syrups are drawn from underneath he dispensing counter in front of the operator, thus saving a great deal of ime on the part of the operator in tuning to draw from a fountain when he drink stands are placed back of he operator. There is an automatic o rangenient by which the glasses after being used are placed in an opening " here water under pressure is put into •he glasses and, whenever necessary, under a brush which gives the glasses a thorough rubbing, thus removing any urease or any other substance which ’nay adhere to the glass. This is an attractive feature because it insures absolute cleanliness of all glasses and in harmony with the spirit of the age requires that all drinking re- be thoroughly cleansed be fore being used. This fountain is guaranteed for five “ars. Should any breakage occur in ;!a t time or the fountain fail to oper "te Properly by reason of any defects in niaterial or workmanship, then the makers engage to repair or exchange defective portion free of charge. Word has also installed an at active sent hj m xunnallv 1 "mpanv for the keeping and storage THE BARTOW TRIBUNE of candies which contains a refrigera tor in which ice is kept at all times and insures the candy will be kept at a temperature of sixty degrees. It is likewise a very attractive article of furniture and store equipment and is designed for the purpose of keeping the Nunnally candies fresh and free from all elemental and atmospheric conditions. Both improvements are causing Mr. Word to be congratulated and their in stallation will doubtless increase his trade in these respects. MRS. WM. M.

Loveless and an old and greatly beloved citizen of Bartow coun ty, died Wednesday night at the family residence in Cartersville, Ga.

CARTERSVILLE, GA., .JULY 2, 1914 CARTERSViLLE IS HEADY FOR THE GREAT CELEBRATION Stores and Homes, Streets and Public Places to be Decorated and a Great Time Is in Store for the Fourth The stage is set and all actors are in their place for the grand Fourth of July celebration to take place in Car tersville on next Saturday.

COMMISSION FAVORS OUR CM?) 9 Representative Cole Wins R e c o mm e ndat ion For Counties to Get Taxes. Through the efforts of Representa tive E. D. Cole, the commission pro vided by the present legislature to make recommendations concerning the disposition of the Western & Atlantic railroad upon the expiration of th.e present lease, has adopted a resolution which will be made a part of the re port which provides that the counties through which the railroad runs should receive taxes or their equivalent, from the road, to be ascertained in the same manner other railroads are valued and apportioned. This is found by comput ing the number of miles of length cov ered by the road in the various coun ties and the value fixed accordingly. This will be welcome news to the people of Bartow county who have for many years been burdened with the necessity and expense of having to police and protect railroad property and stand the expense of litigation of the various matters which found them selves in the court house affecting this railroad, while other counties get just as much benefit as Bartow county without having to meet any of this ex pense. The recommendation conies as a di rect result of Mr. Cole's activities in behalf of the proposition and is an ac knowledgement of his influence on the commission of which he is a member. |He so'strongly pressed the fairness j and equity of the proposition upon the i members of the commission that, while it was opposed, it was finally accepted by the commission and will be made a part of its report at the corning ses sion of the legislature. It is believed that if the commis sion’s report is this respect, is accepted that the treasury of Bartow county will be augmented to some seven or eight and possibly ten thousand dol lars a year, depending upon the valua tion of the road mileage and franchises in this county. Mr. Cole has never done anything more important to the people of Bar tow county than to get this projiosi tion made a part of the commission’s report, as it is believed that the re port of the commission will go far to wards being the final action upon this subject. Senator J. W. L. Brown is likewise a member of the commission and join ed Mr. Cole in his fight to haio lu.s recommendation included in the re port of the commission. We congratulate our representatives, and particularly Mr. Cole, upon secur ing this concession and the news that it has been done will be received with great pleasure by the tax payers of this county. This is a proposition which the program, which is published in an other column, will take place .as scheduled, and the committee having in charge the celebration feel that ev erything promises a glorious occasion. It is the earnest wish of the commit tee that all business houses and resi dences in Cartersville be decorated with colors in order that Cartersville may appear in truly patriotic garb and holiday attire. It is also the wish cf ■the committee that each and every citizen of Cartersville lend himself to the effort of making every strange and visitor within our gates welcome ion this occasion and to increase his I pleasure in every way possible while I here. ! Cartersville citizens know how to do .this better than anybody in the world, and, having the inclination to do so, if ; is confidently expected that each and every stranger coming to Cartersville Saturday will go home singing the praises of Cartersville and carrying away pleasant memories of the occas ion. COUNIV COMMISSION ERS HOLD SESSION Buy Road Equipment and Make Fine Progress With Public Work. The Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues met in regular session Wednesday, July Ist, all mem bers being present. The board had many matters to come bofore it and disposed of a vast amount of business. A large number of bills were passed and vouchers were ordered issued to pay all claims that were approved. The board ratified the purchase of the road machinery which the citizens of the county have seen at work on various roads around Cartersville for which the sum of $4,800 was paid. This decision was made after a most thorough test of the machinery and after a number of counties sent testi monials as to the durability and effic iency of the machine. The decision to purchase has met with general satis faction and already a great deal of valuable road work has been done. The people of the county are begin ning to wake up to the fact that the present board has done and is doing some fine work and at the rate they are going now it would not take many years for Bartow county to take high place among the comities of the state for good roads. Among the most imi>ortant work now in progress is the cutting down and grading of what is known as the rock hill just beyond Allatoona. This is a very important piece of work and is being done in first class and satisfac tory manner. It is said that as soon as this work is completed the forces will be put to work on the roads this side of Allatoona and these will also be graded so as to take out the heavy pulls and otherwise be greatly im proved. Citizens have been heard to say that the present board has accomplished more real, genuine road work and has done it in a more satisfactory, perma nent and sensible and practicable way than has been done in ten years past. The work is being done in a way to has held the attention of the people of the county for many years. In the mak ing of the old lease the interests of the counties through which the road runs received scant courtesy with the result that our people have, been tax ed for many years to meet the court expenses of litigation caused by th railroad running through the county while not getting any more revenue from the rental than some south Geor gia county not touched by the road. It will be a great thing for this coun ty to get taxes in return for the ex pense it is put to tc try all this litiga tion.

The rules and regulations governing the conduct of the fair and the races are set forth with great clearness. A great deal of general information is set forth, much of which will be of an astonishing nature concerning the value of the prizes offered.
