Cards of than •- o / • memorials, resolutions, an ties not ol generil pu c n h:-oded in by or relating to non-suo s, nbers will be chaiged for at regu la. rates shown on our advertising rote card which may be had on ap plication. Let your home paper do all the free advertising of your entertain ments, but let some onu else print the programs you huve to pay for. So niav i our appreciation be shown, your fastened money be saved, and the editor to his celestial reward. It doesn’t cost anything to print a.j.a per. The printers labor for love, are fed by the fowls of the air, the mer chants give them their cloches and the land-lord their rent; the editor has no rent, no salaries, no taxes, no insurance to pay; the city gives him electric and water service, and the telephone company serves him for nothing; the paper jobbers give him ull the paper he wants whenever he want* it and never ask for pay; type and machinery cost nothing, never wear out nor have to be replaced. If you are in a pinch at any lime and haven’t time to send your job print ing out of town, of course your home printer will be glad to lay aside all oilier work, make other customers wait and do it for you for less than anyone else can do ii at a pofit. If he won't do it for less, don’t give it to him. He’s a profiteer. He has the paper to back him. Just think of the munificent income he derives from boosting nil the public enterprises of th ■ nvr. I" he doesn't run the paper .act!/ to suit you, get even with h in. Don't give him any work or any advertising—-that charges for. So will you help your town and the public spirit thereof will redound thru the medium of paper to the uttermost corners of the earth. *■ C'ty job printers fequently “bait II small-town customers by quoting prices considerably below the cost of production and below those at which the small-town printer can do the work profitably. They thereby hope to create the impression that their prices are uniformly lower than the small-town printer’s prices. But just you send them a job without asking for a charged quotation and see what you’ll get you for it. People who are not wise to this trick of the trade are led to believe that the home-town printer is profiteering, or that he is not conducting his business us effi¬ ciently as the city printer. Neither of these things is true. The city printer, who probably also does a large business in other lines which enable him to stand losses in his printing department, is simply mak¬ ing sacrifices to cut the throat of his snvall-town competitors and to build up the volume of his own bus¬ iness. And the small-town customer who falls for his bait, while profit ing temporarily, is helping him put his home-town printer and publisher out of business. The Leader-Tribune has never made a cent’s profit on its business under present management, and we are told that only one man ever ran the paper profitably. If anyone thinks he can show us where we fail in efficiency or hard work, wc invite investigation and will welcome the informaton. The whole secret of the proposition of prices and profits is largely involved in volume of bus¬ iness. If the people of Fort Valley would help us increase our VOLUME of businees, with a fairly stable over¬ head we could do business at lower prices and still make a profit. Send withholding inf your job your work advertising to the city, patron¬ and age, will eventually send your edi¬ tor to the city, where many others have gone before him, for a living remuneration. ★ A GREAT PRINTER In place of a life of ease and free¬ dom 1 have chosen a career of an¬ xiety and toil. A man has higher re¬ sponsibilities than the seeking of his own enjoyments. He should devote himself to honorable labor. M -Aldus Manutius, 1450-1515. The above sentiment is the key to the character of the greatest of al' printers, the founder of the illustri¬ ous Aldir.e dynasty of printers. In the great period of the rebirth of learning, Aldus following the invention of printing. exerted an influence transcending in scope, benefits and permanency that of any other man. He was foremost in restoring to the ‘woild the classic literature and learning for centuries. which had He been suppressed • ten excelled as printer, editor, translator, author And piuipspher.-— Th* Inland Printer. 4 TWO KINDS OF MEN A poem read by Mr. A. J. Evans I at ths funeral sendee of Mr. W. H Jones, published here through ths of Mr*. Tom S. Murphey. u Men are of two kinds, and h« Was of the kind I’d like to be. Some preach their vir.ues, and a few Express their lives by what they do. t That sort was he. No flowery phrase | Or gliblv spoken words of praise Won friends for him. He wasn’t; cheap deep, Or shallow, but his course ran And it was pure. You know the kind, Not many in a life you find i Whose deeds outrun their words so far -phat more than what they seem they are Men afe t wo k j ndgi and he Was of the kind I’d like to be. !

Few are the enterprises and industries, ex cept those belonging to individuals, that have contributed to make Tif ton of today that Fulwood did not take a leading part in their organi zation. We enumerate only a few, that come to mind, as an illustration: Our banks, our newspaper, our light i plant, our ice factory, our telephone exchange, cotton mill, and many others. Some he planned himself: some he cooperated in carrying out the plans of others. Some succeeded; some did not; hut all contributed their part toward building Tifton. He has been appropriately designa ted as '‘Tifton’s Starter.” His love for the beautiful in na t,ure; for growing trees and bloom ing flowers, led him many years ago to take a lead in planting the trees that now beautify our city. His work on the Park and Tree Commis sion has been a work of love and therefore a work that was largely perfect. He can no more endure a sick tree than he can bear to look upon a sick animal; therefore, he is Tifton’s “Tree Doctor.” Our court house square and grammar school grounds are but specimens *of his work. such Appreciation of the lifework of a man cannot be expressed in wo r ds; therefore the honor arch, . fund has been hy contribution generously start a of $, r >00. The members of the Library Club should 5 tflad to duplicate this .figure, Then, the members of the profession he has honored should do likewise, and the business men of the city should show their mettle and not allow the women to outdo them in these higher things. Then, the City Council he has served so well should do its part, and we will have an arch that will be a fitting honor to Columbus Fulwood and an honor to Tifton.

Forgotten (P'r^m Dougluaville Sentinel.) We’ve thought over it a good bit we’ve about come to the conclu don that there is no profession on earth in which the worKer gets less appreciation and more knocks and abuse than in the newspaper game. And we have also reached the con elusion that the reason all newspa oer edit(tf;a go to heaven when they die is they get so much of the place while they’re on earth. No matter how nobly the editor boosts for the development of his town and community, no matter how loyally he may support a friend politics or extoll the virtues of a citizen of the town, no matter how loudly he sings the praises of town belle about to wed or how tly he lays a wreath of pretty words SWXkFTot?" ‘aWcSSTS that cheering sentiment, “Weil Done.” Hut let him make a slip in his him »y hirn.

He was born to help the other fellow and, like the learned early in life that if no one else feeds him heaven may. And that’s why the Lord keeps so many editors on earth—to keep the hal ance of the world from souring and turning stale. -- m ___ BUSINESS IS BUSINESS ' __ • R „ fVlo , ....
