The political announcements in The

thorn over carefully, Mr. Voter?
Am you in favor of continued high
prices? If unjoin the corn club in spirit
and in u material way.
For more than a year now The News has been urging cleanliness on the
part of the city'. The Cit> ut Milledgeviile as an incorporated town has
provided laws that make it obligatory on the part of the people »o maintain
clean pic-mists It has also passed ordinances requiring clean streets and
sidewalks Recently it has gone a step further in progressiveness and pro
vided (or virtual free distribution of all disinfectants required by the people.
\pplication at the city hall will secure the needed disinfectant
All inis means health and that is more than wealth. But for some re-
on the laws are not enforced in regards to keeping the streets clean, esas-
peciclly in the business section. Where the trash cans are provided there is
little attention given to gathering in the trash and paper and there are many
citizens who want to fee this changed
Uo-operation on this score can accomplish wonders and the people
should help the good work. Clean up the streets and he‘p in the good
work.
Then there is another phase—the battle against the flies. Over the
whole state the campaign against disease is being waged and the common
housefly is one of the greatest pests . Keep your household free of them I y
having the sanitary laws observed in your own case and by your neighbors.
I Use the disinfectants and watch improvements on all sides.

iThe Progress Club Once More in Life.
Along with other progiessive things the old Progress Club of Milledge-
ville is beginning to show signs of life. Many have been under the impres
sion that it wis dead but the Club Ins onlv been sleeping. Now a move
rrient is on foot to have it get to work anj strive to intke Milledgeviile
grow farter.
Of course, the town is already miking rapid advancement, but the
Club is of the opinion—that is some of the members are—that something
ought to he done to get the government started on the new postoflice build
ing here an 1 they propose to see what's the trouble.
T’.iere are numerous other little things wanted here and organized eflort
can bring them. For instance the Georgia Normal and Industrial college
needs $50,000 extra this year to build a new dormitory and enlarge the
main building. Then there's something needed for the old Capitol build
ing, loo.
The progressive merchants are desirous of securing co-operation and
building a stronger, better trade for the city and there is really no limit to
what may be accomplished by the club. Stir lively, gentlemen, and let's
have some of your support is pushing the town forward.

THE LOAFING CONTINGENT OF TOWN.
This is the time of year that every-,
body should he :it work. And yet here
in Milledgeviile there are a lot of folk!
tvho are only half way existing, so to I
speak. Some of them wouldn't work |
an lees forced to do so and there are |
others pretending to want work and |
can't get it.
One of those latter kind stated right
recently that he could get work but not,
the kind desired. He state that he 1
would not go out on the farm and he;
didn't want to do so-called menial work 1
in the city that is he used words to ;
this effect, not knowing enough to use
them. If he had this knowledge he
would not mind doing any kind of word
he could proc are. rather than be class
ed a loafer.
And as for working on the farm we’d
rather take the humblest farmer in the [
country and give him shelter than to i
harbor the most respectable loafer in j
town. This idea of not w orking is get-1
ting to be detestable when the south
needs so many workers and good people
ought to place a ban on idleness, for
it's something indescribable.

Easter Candy
Miss Cora Beck Wins The
Dollar Pound Guiii Candy
In the Acrostic contest of Vinson, tn
which a $1.00 pound of Guth candy was
offered for the best line completing the

' Auliffe constituted the awarding com-
I mittee and there was a tie on merits,

I on technical grounds, the other con-
I taining one syllable in excess of the
requirements.
The verse as completed by Miss Beck
is as follows:
Guth candy is the perfection of a
toothsome sweet.
Unless you have tried it you have
missed a treat.
To make as good as Guth is the aim
of all,
How hard they do try, but how frr
short they fall.
The candy has therefore been award

extend thanks to the twenty contes
tants showing so much interest in the
contest.
