The woman of to-day, leading a broader, fuller life than was considered possible thirty years ago, has realized that existence is too short to accept middle age and all its sacrifices before life is half over. Then in hundreds of cases she is to-day a bread-winner, a worker in life’s arena, and knows that, although she cannot achieve real suc cess lacking maturity of mind, her add ed experience also teaches her that outward youth is a valuable asset in obtaining good work and keeping it.

A traveling salesman visited our of fice last week and tried to inveigle us into a proposition to buy a lot of cheap scissors from him and give a pair with each subscription to this paper. We declined to go into the hardware business. We will continue in thenews- paper business and run and sell the pa per on its own merits, giving every subscriber his full money’s worth in a good newspaper. Whenever we think we can sell more scissors or other junk than newspaper, or can’t print a real dollar paper that will be acceptable for a dollar, without “throwing in” a lot of merchandise to work it off, then we will quit the news paper business. Our patrons tell us we are printing the best paper ever published in Eaton ton. We know that when we get better organized and acquainted we will make many improvements that will make The News still more popular. Anyway, we will give you everything we can in an up-to-date newspaper with out any catchpenny schemes or prize- box attachments. Speaking along this line, the Tifton Gazette, one of Georgia’s most excel lent weeklies, says: “It is a source of Minims nnot pit their blushing roses of gratification to us that The Gazette has never offered a prize or a premium as an inducement to subscribe. Every ef- j fort of the management of the paper has been expended in making it worth one dollar, and if you don’t want it at that figure, we will look for some one else that does. Our observation has been that when a prize is offered to in veigle a subscriber into the net one time, he gets the idea that the paper is not worth the money, (which the pre- it vulgarly, “get a look in” with the ! mium giver admits by his own act) and woman, and even if she is protrayed expects another bonus to induce him to as sweet and 20, the romance of heri lenew ’ _ life will rarely begin until she is at An old ante-bellum negro in a small least well on in the 20’s.
