Tobacco at best this year is not
Roing to sell at a satisfactory |
price but unless the cropis mar

Where All Have Agreed
We Make the Tewn Good.
‘We may have our differences
of opinion in matters of polivcs;
we may not agree on ‘the subject
of religion; some of us have no
tions that other folks think are
crazy and other fclk haye idz=as
we think lack in sound reasoning
but on one point we are all agreed;
we all want to see our home town
grow and prousper,
Some experts contend that good
trading facilities build population
ani veal estate values; others say
that good stores follow population,
but again, ail agree that local pros
perity can never come until ade=-
quate trading facilitics are estab
bished.
Good stores are the life of any
community. Moreover, we know
we cannot have good stores if
they are not proficably supported
No town was ever built by its
inhabitants sending their money
out of town, A dollar spen: in
town travels from the home to the
gcor. to the butcner, then to
e hardwure merchant, and so
on around the whole wheel of
home trade. Spent in town the
dollar remains 1 the town and
adds to the town's wealth, By
and by some man gathers enough
of these floating home ‘own aol
lars, buids another home or
mekes an addition to his store,
and so values increase, benefitting
everyvody. Spent out of town
the dollar has gone forever.~—Bax

in your desires and expressed pur
poses of seeuring a better systen
of paved roads and the urging o
the adoption of a state unit plan
That a mere seveh per cent o
the roads in Gz2orgia are state
highways. is logical argument tha'
the state repay those counties tha!
have in past assumed the burden
of bonding themselves. so that the
repayment funds coula be applied
on county road building—the oth
er 93 per cent, for the benefit of
those who have suffered them
selves to be taxed for “good roads,”
and therefore to the neglect of
rural roads. i
The provlem may be solved in
the choosing of men for the next
Geperal Assembly. who recogmze
that the process of development
in Georgie must be more rural
than urbav, therefore the changing
process of building roads.
We hope that the idea growing
throughout the state will become

furtker loss of time.

Bees Promise Profit.
The marvelous success of those
that produce honey in this im
mediate section is a matter that
our people should think over.
The Okefinokee section produces
the finest grade of honey from
the celebrated gall berry flower.
It is reporied . that an Appling
county man has $25,000 worth ot
bees from a few hives begun only
a year or so agn. Yet few of our
farmers have a hive of them.
Our main trouble is thet we don't
let nature work for us asit is so
willing to do.
