DOUGL.\SVILLE, GEORGIA
NUMBER 20
It shows qttj fi j interest
among the inhab| 5„ ; ,}>f;any city
to be able to ear«Spiikieetion for
bonds for publifl^ Movement.
The citizens of 1 „ %ville are
to be congratulat^^mtlt it con
tains enough public spirited peo
ple to carry an election for the
improvement of its water system.
No city is likely to rise above
its aspirations, and good water
and plenty of it is one of the foun
dation stones on which every city
is obliged to build and without
which it is doomed to be a failure.
There are other improvements
that Douglasville is in dire need
of such as pavements and sewers.
Very few cities of the importance
of Douglasville, are content with
out its main streets being nicely
paved with asphalt or some other
good pavement, and nothing adds
more fb the appearance, progress
and comfort, to say nothing of
the health and pride of a city,
than these very necessary im
provements. It is to be hoped
that now that we have made a be
ginning, that we will let the good
work progress.

The Douglasville Public Schools
will open next Monday morning
at 8:30 o’clock. There will be a
short program in the auditorium,

lic generally are cordially invited.
There are several new teachers
who would be glad to meet the
parents on the opening day, and
it is desired that throughout the
year there will be a most cordial
relation between the home and
the school.
During the past few years the
Douglasville schools have made
splendid progress and have ach-
eved most favorable rankjamong
the schools of the state,Vlt is
hoped that by the united efforts
of teachers, pupils and parents
our schools will continue to ad
vance and will hold the prestige
- of being one of the most success
ful systems in Georgia. During

Board, parents and friends are

Respectfully,
M. F. RAMSEY,

Miss Bessie Hilley sent a potato
of the Porto Rica variety to The
Sentinel office last Wednesday
that tipped the scales at 4 pounds
and 11 ounces, it measured 201-2
inches in circumference. This is
the largest potato we have as
yet seen in Douglas county.
Whether Miss Hilley produced
this potato, we can not say. But
if she did, she’s some] “tater”
raiser.
This shows what Douglas coun
ty can do with potatoes.
Lots of other Georgia counties
have potato curing houses where
potatoes are preserved for winter
and spring use, as well as market
ing purposes.
_Wliat’s the matter? Why can’t
Douglas county have these pota
to houses?
If other counties can have them
—sure we can,'

YEARS BALI
The writer lacks considerable
of being a couple of! hundred
years old, but we can remember
when a storekeeper (notamer-
chant) would say;® “Oh, they
know I’m here so I don’t have to
advertise.”
Wouldn’t that pull the'eork out
of your great-grandmother’s bot
tle of smelling salts? Gee whizz,
that makes us think of the fellow
who said he knew where the cem
etery was, but he wasn’t doing
anything that would hurry him
to it.
But iri this modern day they all
believe to a certain extent that
advertising is beneficial. Only it’s
like the fellow said—before they
established the drainage system
in the United States—that all
whiskey was good, only some
kinds were better than others.
Now days, the only man who is
beating the income tax man,[is the
fellow who believes the other
fellow should advertise heavily,
and when he brought a crowd to
town, the non-advertisers would
reap a part of the benefit; and it’s
true that this plan is worked in
many cases—but of course not
here in Douglasville. t
The man who is letting the oth
er fellow do the advertising is the
man who is letting the other fel
low pay the income taxes, and
there’s no way of getting away
from it.
All the members of the. First
Baptist Church are notified that
the home-coming day will be ob-*“
served on the second Sunday in
September.
Y ou are extended a cordial in
vitation to be at the church on
that date. Bring a well filled
basket for the noon meal.

Editor Sentinel:—
There is to be an election next
Wednesday, whetherwe will have
one Commissioner or three. Ev
erybody knows the county is in
had shape, and some change is
necessary. Those who favor 3
commissioners have put out a cir
cular that is misleading as to the
cost of the three commissioners
and if they will stop and think
they will know that one commis
sioner will save the tax payers
$iiOQ.oo poi-year or. saimy
of those employed by the County.
Some say they want one but
do not want W. I. Dorris, tiiey
know that he can not serve but
12 days, as the bill distinctly says
he is to serve till the Grand Jury
convenes.
Do you know what Dorris buys
for the county he lets them have
it at wholesale. Same as he pays
for it. Don’t you know the Grand
Jury has more interest in the
county than the ones who sent
out the misleading circular, who
are getting pay out of the county
and if they can kill (he bill they
will still have their hands in the
treasury and the people being
taxed to pay them.
Counties all over Ga. are adopt
ing one commissioner because it
is beet for the county. 3 commis
sioners cost $900.00 for 100 days
that is all the chairman can serve,
and the others serve their time at
the same time, 100 days for $900
—is 9 dollars per day. One com
missioner serves 365 days for
$1,200, or about $2.35 per day—
all three of the commissioners
will be out Sept. 19, when the
Grand Jury convenes.
Let us look at this in the true
spirit of good citizens and work
for the county’s interest. —L
