There is a lot for folk around here to be thankful for in life. Peuple in
.Millcdgeville and Baldwin county have a sort of a lellow feeling for man-
kind that makes things show up in an a Imirabie light. You can’t gauge it
well unless you know way deep down is your heart what splendid characters
are about you. Sometimes there are little things that count for as much as
the tnightv and often the tiny affairs ot every day life make up a sum total
tar greater than the rest of earth’s manipulations.
It was only a week ago that a young man ot Sterling character got up in
an exclusive crowd of folk—exclusive because it was a faithful band—and he
told a simple story of the needs of some worthy old folk, no matter where
they live, and the charity was forthcoming. Tha't something to be thankful
for in life
Less than a week afterward s'erling integrity was manifested when an
other ot the men around you, in another company ot men, allowed his char
acter to sl.ine out unconsciously in his honesty. By singular coincidence
The News already had in type one ot his expressions, but lie stated before
the men assembled that he would not allow any one to take one ounce for him
in any of his business, tor it any would do that they wou'd take from him
To put it in plain English it one steals one why he would another.
And again. One of the best business men of the city had a chance—a
chance easily accepted —to make a lot ol money at the expense ol a lot of
men and not one ot them would htvi know 1 it. But he didn’t do it. He
ploughed straight on in his usual road ol h inesty.
Aren’t you thankful you live among suc'i men? It’s something to be
thankful for and it means that your city and your county will be a good place
ng as tins is continued an I the promise ts for a bright future
in this respect:

IN A L^SISUTIVH WAY.
In The News is carried virtually the
public announcement of Mr. Carl
Vinson for re-election to the legislutui e
Mr. Vim on’a posit' in on Important mat
tors is well known to the public an I bis
attitude in endeavoring to provide
liberal appropriation* for the public
institution* of this county is a matter
of record.
Tho public should givo due considera
tion in casting their vote for rep
resentative in the next legislature, tor
it will have many questions of impor
tance to decide and am mg them will
be the re-districting of the congres
sional distiicta, and possibly making
some changes in the election laws, con
sequently the matter of experience will
count.
Here's what an up to date employer has posted up:
I— Don't lie—it wastes my time and yours. I’m sure to catc'i you in
the end, and that's the wrong end.
II— Watch your work not the clock. A long day’s work make a long
day short'
III —Give me more than i expect and I’ll pay you more than you
expect. I caii aflonl to increase your pay if you increase my profits.
IV— You owe so much to yourself that you can’t aflonl to owe any
body else.
V— Dishonesty is never an accident. Good men. like good women,
can’t see temptation when they meet it.
VI — Mind your own business and in time you'll have a business ot your
own to mind.
VII—Don’t do anything here which hurts your selfrespect. The
employe who is willing to steal for me is capable of stealing from me,
VIII — It's none of my business what you do at night, BUD if dissipa

FOR TAX COLLECTOR.
A OIRL’S RESPONSIBILITY.
WHAT ABOUT YUBK VOTE.
I you want to vote—anti every good
citizen should—you must register be
fore tho First of April. There is a
lot of kicking going on over the state
concerning this question. but it is only
one of the laws of the state, passed
almost without opposition. If frees
politics from much of the commercial
aspect, makes men accountable for
themselves, prohibits the professional
political!, or grafter, from paying up
taxes for sonu-bo ly who is hardly worth
paying for in otder to obtain his voto.
A vote like that ought n >t to count
against a honest vote.
A'ou wouldn't want to b? classed
alongside of such n fellow. You want
to struggle on your own hook and be a
voter on your ow n account. That
means something to a citizen at large.
If you hear somebody complaining
A friena of The News furnishes the
clipping from a l exchange which is
published below. It was signed by an
“Old Woman” and surely it does carry
with it much influence when a man reads
it and finds in it foal enough /or
thought to bring it for Deal publica
lion, especially wh^n that mtu is one
whose life is kept bjsy with other
things of different nature So it is
given space here to go on doing its good
work:
Parents, those days, in tho first place,
don’t make their children respect them
as they used to, and they try to keep
up with those that have money to spend
in fine clothes. I was at a dress mak
er’s one day and her daughter was
complaining because she could not wear
nice silks like some of tho rich girls. 1
know another girl that never takes
work in her hands unless she is com
pelled to, and 1 know another girl that
slept on a bed three months and never
made it up but once, to change the
sheets, und one time her mother was
in her room and was ashamed of it, and
made it up for her. This same girl
stands high and is a very popular girl.
Now, do you think a man wants such
a wife as that? This girl’s mother did
uii the cooking, scouring and the most
of the w ashing. These are samples of
these “half-strainers." Their poorold
mothers are working their lives out
trying to marry their daughters off to
get rid of them. 1 am so thankful that
things were different in my young day®.
I tried to bring mine up as 1 was
brought up, but when they were otf
from home, going to school, they heart!
other girls talk cross to their mothers
and they commenced to do the same.
1 blame myself for doing all the work
an 1 not demanding a certain amount
from each one, but I told you in my
other letter why I could not force them, j
filings changed after 1 wrote that!
know that it would not be their hus
band’s fault, and if he could not live
with them thev would have to work
for themselves.
Hoping this may benefit some ono. 1
am still your well wisher.

Tho tiin j to prepare for war with
disease is bafore it is entrenched and
Milledgeville will soan begin the en
forcement of a strtet sanitary law.
This law has caused mure complaint,
probably, than anything on the statute
book of the city, but it is unquestionably
the best of any municipal law. Just
why it is not more rigidly enforced
th an it is at present is somewhat of
mvsterv.
*The law is on the city’s list and the
po ics system of the city is universally
praised. Ordinarily it is understood
that in order to have a satisfactory city
government a good tire department and
pior police department is needed.
When it comes to the enforcement of
the city sanitary laws Milledgeville
meets this requirement, whether it be in
the case of an excellent fire department
or not, we refrain from saying.
But you can mark it down that there
is going to be some improvement and
it will be in the near future. Clean
ore raises in every sense of the word
will be demanded. No matter whether
it be a cow. or horse, or anything
liable to produce contamination, it will
banished it the strong arm of the law
can bring such a change about.
Oh the whole it means prosperity for
tho people. If the few property
owners who are opposing this move
ment so strongly anu so influentially
would co-operate with the city they
would find that instead of the change
costing them money it would be benefi
cial and enhance the value of their
property.
