Our Hills are an Asset
Very few people in our section
of the slate realize the many ad
vantages we have over other sec
tions, and lliis is generally true
because of the fact that most of
us fail to take note of the many
things that we are used to in our
every day life. Day in and day-
out we breathe the pure fresh air,
afforded by our high altitude and
rolling hills, anil scarcely ever
think of the blessings of health it
affords, and thereby fits us to en
joy the numerous oilier comforts
that make life worth while; for
without health all is failure as far
as comforts art concerned. And
yet, without knowing exactly why,
hardly a man of us removes to a
flat or low country without long
ing for the hills and dales of Doug
las. and wishing for a speedy re
turn.
Atlanta hosts of its altitude of
1050 feet, and well it may, for the
advantages it has because of this
fact, has caused many a citizen to
remove from the less fortunate
. eilies like New Orleans 1 below
the river bed,) Montgomery, with
its 500 foot altitude, Mobile, Jack
sonville and others, to Atlanta for
the sake of health- Hut how
about our section with an altitude
of 1396 feet ill old Douglas? Is i(
any wonder that something calls
us hack to the loot hills of west
Georgia, when- w i.av, the bless

when we miss them, and how j

ment. • Most of the subscriber:
are behind with their subscrip-
lions. We are sending each and
all the paper this week as usual,
hut after this week only those
who have paid in advance or
make arrangements for same,
will receive the paper. This
method is adopted to see who
really wants the paper, and for
the further reason ,that good
business methods require it.
The price of the paper has
been cut to $1.00 per year and
we will especially appreciate all
subscribers looking at the expir
ation dates on their papers and
if out kindly renew during the
week so we may continue your
paper.
The publishers hope that ev
ery one of the old patrons will
rally to their support and help
them to develope a good and
creditable paper.

It is tlie desire of the publish
ers of the Sentinel to have the
hearty support of everybody in

HONOR ItOLI
It is the intention of the pub
lishers of the Sentinel to build tip
a large circulation ami bona fiije
subscription list, and to this end
we have reduced the price to $1.00
and slad with the first issue an
Honor Roll on which each new
subscriber or renewal of an old
one will lie published, giving him
credit for the interest thereby
shown, anil expressing our appre-
eiation of their support.
We are glad to start with Mr.
.Marion Morris, who is our first
subscriber under the new nianage-
incnt, and is therefore :

Mr. J. W. Baggett, our effi

serves the commendation of us
all, for instead of closing his
books and going home on the
20th of Dec. as the law gave him
a right to do, he has and still is
giving his time going around to;
those who have not paid their
taxes anil giving them a chance
to pay, thus saving them the
cost of fifas. Don’t you think

Our New Demonstrator
The Sentinel gladly welcomes
Mr. Burns, our new demonstrn-
—friri.ii)V V tH llill f_ of ° ur progressive
farmers, and trust he
the hearty co-operation and aug"
port of every citizen in the county
If there ever was u time when u
demonstrator can l>$ useful it is
now. Everything is unsettled a-ai
the best of us are at a loss to
know what is best toilo. At such
a time who is not at. least willing
to lend a listening ear, and see if
someone else besides Ourself, can
give a good idea or method of
reaching and remedying the pres
ent very unsatisfactory situation.
It is no longer a question of dem
onstrator or no demonstrator. He
is already here, a hale, hearty,
good natured looking fellow; why
not get all the benefit from him
you can? Let’s all do that and
perhaps our new man may solve
our doubts and save us, or at
least help 11s to make more than
we would without him. He sure
ly can do more for us with onr
co-operation fhan without it.
