LET’S GET READY
FOR COMPANY!
F'rom Monday until Thursday, in¬
clusive, Fort Valley will entertain a
notable gathering of Georgia women
about one hundred and seventy-fivt
delegates from the Woman’s Mission
ary Society of the South Georgia
Conference of the Methodist church.
It is an honor for our city to have thi
privilege of entertaining these eon
secrated women. It will be one of thi
most notable gatherings our city has
ever had.
Would it not be well at this time
for us to bear in mind Paul’s injunct¬
ion to the Christian Church at Rome
and “provide things honest in the
sight of all men?” And again, .. Lei
not then your good be evil spoken
of?"
Fort Valley is held in excellent re¬
pute spiritually—few communities
more so. But let us not imagine that
the good women who will foregathei
here from all parts of South Georgia
will see only the spiritual aspects ol
our community. Let us not imagine
that they will close their eyes utterly
to its material aspects. We. would be
disappointed if they evinced no in
terest in our beautiful homes and or
ehards. They will be taken, no doubt
on sight-seeing tours through oui
city and its environs. Let us, then,
provide things honest—of good re¬
pute and pleasing appearance—for
them, that our good be not evil spok-
Let’s clean up our premises, re¬
move the dilapidated fences, get rid
of all unsightly heaps of rubbish,
• and pull down the antiquated signs.
What an excellent thing it would be
if the approaches to our city could
be made to create a more favorable
first impression upon the stranger
who comes into our gates by automo¬
bile. On the Macon road, especially,
for well-nigh a mile before entering
F'ort Valley both sides of the road
are flanked with all manner of un¬
sightly rubbish dumped there evi¬
dently by our own sanitary (?) de¬
partment. Some other roads are aim
iliarly ornamented in spots near the
city.
• • Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”
Let’s clean up.
This suggestion is backed by the
Civic Improvement Committee of thi
History Club and the Civic Commit¬
tee of the Chamber of Commerce.
Let each individual do his part.
OPTIMISTIC ACTION.
(From Atlanta Constitution.)
Interviews with representatives of
big business in various lines indicate
a general improvement in business
conditions.
All signs point that way ■especi¬
ally the optimistic spirit, which is
everywhere in evidence, because the
business revival has already begun.
And one of the surest signs is that
business firms are increasing their
advertising appropriations for this
year.
In this connection The I’hiladel
phia Record has this to say to those
who are not improving their opportu¬
nities to share in the business re¬
vival;
“ You can’t make business by op¬
timistic talk, but you CAN make it
by optimistic action. The people who
won’t get their share of trade in the
coming revival are those who believe
in letting the heater fire go out be¬
cause the weather man has an¬
nounced the i mminence of a severe
cold wave. M
“Optimistic action” is the thing—
the business builder that warms up
to the work, and the greatest factor
in present and future prosperity.
Keep up “the heater-fire!”

CASH BOOK DIARY SHOWS
RECENT WEATHER NORMAL
Mr. D. Bums was showing some
friends Monday daily weather re
cords which he has kept in his cash
book for the past seven years and
which show that the balmy, spring
like weather we have enjoyed in this
vicinity the past week has been alto
gether seasonable and true to form,
Mr. Bums’ cash-book diary shows
that the last week of January has |
been characterized in practically
every one of the past seven years by
THE LEADER TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GEORGIA
just such weather as that of the past
week.
According to .Mr. Burns’ records
the weather next week—the first
week in February—if it runs true to
form,will be ruiny and colder, and
week after next will see freezing
weather with four-inch icicles hang¬
ing from eaves and spigots.

DODGE IT
Once in Awhile Your Blood Clog*
and Your Vitality Runs Down
THEN TAKE PEPTO-MANGAN
You’ll Pick Up Again Quickly with
Plenty of Red Blood
Corpuscles
Physicians nowadays take a blood
est when you are run down. They
•ount the red corpuscles in your
blood. If these are too few they give
you a tonic for your blood. It hap¬
pens right along. They are always on
the lookout for indications of weak
blood.
Why? Because they know when
your blood is weak your resistance
to disease is low. Your vitality and
energy quickly run down.
You can tell when your blood is
weak. You look pale, feel tired. You
are not ill, but you don’t feel right.
You don’t want to do things. That
is the time to take the well-known
tonic, Pepto-Mangan.
Pepto-Mangan builds red blood cor¬
puscles. Physicians have prescribed
it for thirty years.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid and
tablet form. The medicinal value is
exactly the same. Take either kind
you prefer. But be sure you get the
genuine Pepto-Mangan — “Guile’s.”•
The full name, “Gude’s Pepto-Mau
should be on the package.
