Community Interests.
The State Normal School.
. , , . . .. ... This school begins its new session
The basis of true patriotism is the March 6th The conrse of stu dy has
love of home and home-folks. There j
may be better homes and superior
folks, but ho feelin'g of ownership
or intimate fellowship is associated
with them.
From the home this feeling of
ownership, or patriotism extends to
the neighborhood, to the militia
district, to the county, the state and
the nation. This pride of community
attaches first to the locality, then
to the products ]and to the people.
My home, my neighborhood, my
mj county, my state, is ever the
best to the true patriot, or it is his
earnest desire to help make it so.
To make this commendable de
sire a reality is the duty of every
person, and there is no one one who
cannot do something on that line.
It is not our purpose to make
these suggestions strictly local, but
any reader can make that applica
tion to his community. No matter in
what avenue of life, individual ac
tion has its influence upon the com
munity for good or ill.
Just- now it seems that money
getting is the chief purpose of man
kind, and no blame can attach to
those most eminently successful if
they are correct in money-using.
The success of one man in busi
ness along correct lines will surely
prove beneficial to others of his
neighborhood. Others seeing his
good works will strive to do like
wise. The successful man, having
the pride of community in his heart,
will desire to see his neighbors suc
ceed in similar manner.
The foundation of business is that
men sell that which others must buy.
Community interests demand that
we buy in preference those things
produced in our community.
In an agricultural community, the
people of the adjacent towns and
cities will add to the general pros
perity of that community very much
by using the corn, meat, lard, flour,
potatoes, syrup and other products
of the neighboring farms. This en
largement of a home market for
home products will increase the
ability of the farmers to buy, and it
will be nataral for them to recipro
cate and in turn buy the things they
do not produce from the home mer
chants. In fact the advancement all
along the line of community inter
ests will be great when we to the
fullest extent patronize home indus
try. Georgians should at all times
Duy in preference the products of
Georgia, whether of the farm or fac
tory. This applied to any county
will increase the general prosperity
of that county, increase the tax val
ues and decrease the rate of taxa
tion.
The demand for articles of home
production will not only tend to in
crease that production in quantity,
but also to its betterment in quality.
Further, when the community inter
ests develop on business lines, per
sonal ties are strengthened, good
fellowship grows and ripens into
friendship and the social side of life
is made brighter and better.

Reports from China credit the
German commander, Count Yon
Waldersee, with having written to
Gen. Chaffee: “Owing to the unsat
isfactory nature of the negotiations
for peace, and also to circumstances
rendering such a course desirable, it
will probably be necessary to resume
military operations on a large scale,
especially to the west.” It is gen
erally beleived that force will be
used to compel the Chinese to ac
cept the terms of the powers, unless
an agreement is reached very soon.

When we go on a purchasing tour we
concentrate our efforts on securing the best Cloth
ing made. We do not waste our time on “Howl
ing Cheap,” “Catch-Penny” concerns.
There are many firms who make cheap
clpthing, but what would become of our reputa
tion if we Bold you something we knew could not
give satisfaction?
The fact that we sell our High Grade
Clothing at the same prices other stores ask for
the Inferior kind is not a mystery. We want
YOUR business, we want YOU SATISFIED.
We can’t do it with high prices and poor goods.
OUR WORD STANDS GUARD. Can we
