“We regret to learn that a

in various parts H of Georgia

port of the people that it should.
Many people are possessed of the
incredulous belief that it does
not cost the country editor any
thing to produce a paper each
and every week throughout the
year; We are at a loss to compre¬
hend how they dispense with the
fact, that he has to purchase
paper, type, ink, repair the
machinery that he foolishly
purchased, pay his employees,
rent, etc. procure the very com
mon necessities of life, pay the
postage to 1 Tnele Sum and numcr
Ous other expenses that daily
occur. He purchases goods
the merchants of his town, pays
him the n uJar price, and when
the merchant wants any printing
done he sends of to the city to
procure if and even pay more
than the local paper would have
charged him and yet the paper
labors night and day to bring
people to the town to patronize
the same merchant. Yet
merchant is public spirited
the only real use that can
made of him will be to
hades. If the paper gets
business from the merchants
actually fixes the paper’s
for job work and advertising.”

Do You Need
A Telephone?
The only man who doesn’t need one is stone deaf,
lives alone, has no friends nor occupation.
To art the telephone at least proves interesting, To
some it will open up a means of making
while to others it means social and business
ment.
Suppose you you see Lester Hartley, and have
phone put in before the rush of the peach sea 6 on.
