Now for the White Way!
Mellon end his tax plan have
Nee a buried in oil.
That Teapot Dome oil well was
•certainly a gusher.
The Republican party, like our
-war vessels, is an oil burner.
Maybe by Raster, April 20th old
oaan Winter will have been gone
Ear keeps.
Seven years ago on April 6th.,
■She United States declared war on
Germany.
Clean-up, paint-up and install
the white way, and everything will
look brighter.
It is stated that one sixth of all
the cattle in the world are in the
Hinted States.
Wonder if the Teapot Dome af
fisir explains why Cal has been so
•qpiet all the while?
The Teapot is being extensively
•advertised but as to its popularity
tthat’s another thing.
Have we come to the place in
Georgia that to observe one law is
Ho break another?
25 billion conversations are car
wed on in the United States over
the telephone every year. My, how
we Americans do talk!
The testimony of every person in
Walker county who took the cow,
aow and hen business seriously and
worked at it, is that he has made
money.
I hid rather be defeated in a
* cause that. I know will eventually
triumph than triumph in a cause
' fthat will eventually fail—Woodrow
'•* Wilson.
\ The President isn’t having a
' square deal with his office his time
fceng taken up in filling cabinet
wscanciee. Guess it’s oil right
• tltoough.
Georgia will soon be known as
’ -the state with the greatest memo
rial in the world—Stone Mountain.
• Have you had a part in making the
‘ 'Confederate Memorial possible?
The Gtteat White Wsy in New
*'sTork contains more than a million
jjarsndescent lamps in 10,000 elec
•Wric signs. LaFayette can get out
with a far less number.
The hope of this couijty and
country lies in the young gener
ation. Encourage and help the club
• work; its fundamental to the agri
* cultural progress of today and to
moirow. *. ~
Georgia ranks next to last in the
amount expended for schools per
pupil per year. We spent 121.10 per
pupil in this state. In Wyoming
$138.70 is spent for public educa
tion
The fellow that dosen’t make a
success with the hog, cow and hen
program in this county will not
make a success with cotton or corn
or uny other crop. The whole thing
-depend on the man after all.
ON APRIL 26TH.
On April 26th Memorial Day,
Georgia will announce the success
of the campaign for funds for the
Stono Mountain Memorial. Geor
gia has assessed heTself a sum to
raise amounting to $250,000. The
City of Atlanta ha-s also pledged
$250,000 additional which she has
already subscribed.
Each county in the state has
been apportioned a sum in keeping
with her bank resources and the
taxable values of the county. Walk
er county’s share, as has been an
nounced before, is $3300.
An active canvass is being made
in the LaFayette District and the
committee is meeting generous
response.
Every person is invited to share
in the greatest of all Memorials
to the Confederate heroes of the
Sixties, and arrangements have
been made to give each child a
part in the Memorial and have
their names inscribed in the mem
ory book.
J. E. Patton is county chairman
and he is insistent that the people
of every section and community in
the county make a contribution to
this fund in order that Walker
county may do her part by this
great memorial.
When completed Stone Mountain
will be the wonder and admiration
of the entire world. It will adver
tise Georgia in a peculiar way, and
no European or foreigner will ever
come to this country and go back
without seeing Stone Mountain.
The commercial value to Georgia
will be tremendous. It is an asset
to the state and Georgia will con
tribute her part toward complet
ing this wonderful memorial to the
Confederacy that every Southern
er holds dear.
Send in your contributions to
Mr. Patton before April 26th., since
all funds are to be sent to head
quarters in Atlanta before that
date, when public announcement
will be made for the entire state
and each county in the state.
In voting in the $15,000 bond
issue Saturday for schools, the
Rock Springs consolidated district
is to be warmly congratulated for
their forward step .Let the spirit
catch in other sections and let’s put
old Walker right square on the
map wtih the best schools any
where; our children have waited
long and they deserve the best.
Co-operate with your county
agent and encourage your boys
and girls to join the club Work.
