Far be it from us to pose as a wise--
acre or political prophet, and neither
shall we be so foolish as to think it
our duty to tell any Douglasville man
how he should cast his vote. Insofar
POLITENESS NOT DEAD
A Douglasville man who reads con
siderably showed us a clipping the
other day in which a New York editor
declared politness and manners of the
gentler kind are on the decrease.
That may be—in New York. But
as federal office is concerned we never here at home> here where we are best
believe in trying to persuade a man
that he ought to change the policies
to which he has adhered for years.
But in matters nearer home, particu
larly those officers here in our own
town, county, district and state, we
cannot but feel a few words of advice
are timely.
We need many improvements here,
and out in the country. Particularly
do we need better roads, and legis-
latiion that will serve to keep them
acquainted and know what we are
talking about, it is not true. Go into
any place of business in Douglasville
and ask a question and you will re
ceive a pleasant answer. The busiest
business man has time to devote a
minute or two to giving advice to
some young fellow who properly seeks
advice. There is no “freshness” or
“impudence” apparent, though of
course once in a long while we run
across an isolated case. But the great
majority of people in our smaller
rural
good once we get them that way.
Every good road leading in this di-1 towns an(! dties, and in our
rection means something to each and ( | istrj( , ts ar0 p „lite.
every individual in town. It, means j Tj udnPSS itself is teaching politeness
quicker and cheaper carriage to the L, dov more than it ever did. Take
big outside markets, and from the big i h( , tpUpbone girl and you will nearly
outside markets to us. It means some-1 n ,. vay , find tbat n0 mat tev how badly
orking, or how irri-
mav he, she
mitted to interfere with us in our do- ijoevn’t “lose her head.” She is patient
sire to get such improvements as we , im) ,. OU rteou8, regardless of what is
foci and know we are .entitled to. In ^ , , 0 hpr and it is the samP wav

the matter of municipal, county or
congressional elections it is time to
forget policies to a large extent we’ve
voted all our lives. Pick the man.
Take the trouble to find out if he is present, general
first and last for the improvements | fnvnrnhlv in F(
we need here at home. Find out if
he is the kind of
fight hard for those improvements if
he is elected. Then support him
whole-heartdly. But quit this thing
of electing to office the professional
office-seeker or man who is long on
promises and short on fulfillment,
simply because he happens to be on
the ticket you’ve always supported.

Your Property Improved
It is sometimes difficult to visualize the big improve
ment that electricity makes in a house. No matter how
up to date otherwise.your house,bam or other buildings
may be, they will be bettered by a wiring installation.
Till you use electricity you will never appreciate
fully its many benefits.
Electricity for Utility
Electricity means added convenience, added comfort,
added economy and added utility. It means an added
market value to your property. It means a more
modern farm that will be a more profitable business for the owner.
We will be glad to give you further
information as to methods, costs,
etc., without Charge or , obligation.
