From”the very beginning of the war down to date, the news papers have been operating at extra heavy expense, They are ■obliged to print the regular cur rent news of the day and the -war news in addition. Telegrap hic service has cost them heavily Type metal, ink and other mat trials have advanced in price The cost of white paper has tre mendously increased. And over Against these extra expenses, the ;the volume outadvertising since the war has run below normal, due to the general decline in bus iness which was the first result «of "the war in this country. The newspaper to-day, more than ever before, is earning ev- ■ery dollar it receives, and no local -enterprise is [contributing more to the upbuilding of its local com munity. The patrons of a news paper, generally speaking, reap far more benefits from its pages than its publisher, who is strug gling under ajiload ofj heavy ex pense and curtailed income. Keaton Comes Back My Dear People: With our Ed’s permission I’ll drop you a few lines. As it has been a long time since addressing you in these columns, I hardly know what to ! write, but I’ll say to “Bill Blue:” Old Scout, you’re as welcome back here as the flowers in May. Guess you all done heard about the war, so I’ll not tell you'| about it. Much has happened since last | I wrote, you and new, strange conditions seem to be in process of formation throughout t lie | whole world. Last winter when mo and mv friend. H. K. Banks, both moved to Carrollton I got uneasy for fear old Douglas’ best citizen ship wa3 deterioating, hut as I’VE returned, the danger is now past. 1 came here hoping to establish a permanent junk business whereby I could[make an honest living and help the community by paying cash for a lir.e of stuff hitherto valueless to them. I feel that in a measure I have succeeded, for in my few shoit weeks of residence here I’ve spent hundreds of dollars, and several have made me immeasur ably glad by assuring me that I am helping the city and sur rounding country. This suits me, as I detest be ing a clog in the wheels of prog ress. With a vcy few exceptions the people here are kind and seem anxious to contribute some thing to my success. I desire to thank everyone who have given me their patronage or rendered me aid in any way. I doubt if any town on the Southern Railway can boast a finer set of business men than Douglasville. No wonder this burg is doing things. Trusting the good people, will continue to give me their busi ness, I am faithfully yours, John H. Keaton. P. S. How would you all like for me to establish a cash mar- Ket tor produce? Let me hear from you. J. H. K. Keep Down The Upkeep AH motor cars wear out eventually.
