Buy Your Diamond Where You Are
Sure Y ou Will Get Just What
You Think You Are Buying
Aside from Ihoir beauty, people buy diamonds because they
feel that their money is not spent, but merely in vested—con
verted into another form of wealth.
The pride of show is intensified by the thought and feeling
that the value is there.
Tlie real value of your investment depends largely on the
reputation and character of the dealer of whom you make your
purchase. If you are absolutely sure the diamond you buy is
all it is claimed to he, you are satisfied both with its appearance
and with its real worth.
There is no mystery whatever in our system of selling dia
mends, for the simpler the method 1lie more diamonds we sell.
Naturally we have made it our business to explain our methods
of grading and selling to people, and to 1his reason we attribute,
its constant increase.
We want you to examine carefully the grades and the
plans under which we sell diamonds.
If \ on rail not eall at the store, we shall he glad to forward

PRESIDENT IIIS
n
Judge Richard B. Russell, of lhe|
Court of Appeal**, raflier pride him- |
self upon the size of his family—he i
iH the proud father of fourteen —but
that seems lather small potatoes be-
Hide a Catoosa County farmer who
boast* a family of twenty.
When Judge Russell wan a candi
date for Governor, his fourteen olive
branches were fashioned Into one of
the moat insistent planks in his plat
form and now that be is up for re-
election to the (’ourt of Appeals—
even though no opposition is in sight
-the judge doubtless will dust off
that plank and put It In evidence
again.
Of the Catoosa gentlemen, who
ought to be a Arm supporter of Judge
Russell, The Catoosa Record says:
"Joseph Peters, of Catoosa County, a
prosperous and highly regarded farm
er who lives about three miles from
Ringgold, Is the proud father of
twenty children, all of whom are alive
and well and nearly all of whom are
still on the old home plantation. Mr.
Peters Is the ideal father, according
to the patriarchal ideals and accord
ing to the anti-rare suicide notions
for which Colonel Roosevelt is fa
mous”
Judge Russell is now the presiding
judge the Chief Judge of the Court
of Appeals, and has served on the
cour* since it was created. He is the
only member of the court who has
served either a full term or since Its
e.sta blishment.
All the weekly newspapers, practi
cally without exception, are skipping
their issues of this week, on account
of the holiday season.
It Is a custom of long standing
among the Georgia weekly newspa
pers not to issue an edition on Christ
mas week—and it is not a bad cus
tom, moreover It gives the country
editors a chance to enjoy the holi
day season, really and truly.
Rev. J. M. Cash, an itinerant
preacher of Dalton, has entered the
list of candidates for the Legislature
in the special election to name a suc
cessor from Whitfield to the late
S K. Herr\
In his formal announcement. Mr.
Cash says: "Having served you as a
minister of the gospel. I now have a
desire to represent you at the Capi
tol." The announcement of Mr. (’ash
brings a four-cornered race, the other
three candidates being G. G. Glenn,
H. D. Keith and A. T. Gilbert.
Cash is a pretty persuasive sort of
name for a politician and maybe It
Is all right for a politlclan-preaeher.
Anyway.t Cash Is expected to give
the rest of them a run for their
money in Whitfield. ' u e election is
to be held on January t.
ing things of one sort and another
over, and feels better,
In Saturday's issue it says. "Griffin
is determined that Atlanta. Macon
and Rome shall not have all the
near-beer brainstorms so it has
gone and organized one of those law
enforcement leagues of its own. Go
td It. brethren. Like the lamented
Sam Jones, we naturally hate a dull
time."
Because of the great pressure of
work upon it, and the extraordinary
delay caused by the prolonged Frank
case hearing recently, the Supreme
Court will not be able to give itseif
any Christmas recess this year.
In ordinary circumstances that high
court u’ould have quit work Saturday
and have permitted itself the luxury'
of making this week a genuine holi
day. However, the state of the docket
will not admit of that relaxation at
this time, and so the court is in ses
sion to-day, as usual.
The Georgia Supreme Court is one
of the hardest worked tribunals in the
Union—and it Is one of the most
markedly underpaid.
Only about half of trie Georgia
Congressional delegation will return
to Georgia for the Christmas holi
days.
This is very unusual, of course, and
is occasioned by the long extra ses
sion of Congress which merged into
the regular session a. few weeks ago.
Both Senators and Representatives
have been obliged to make their holi
day arrangements almost exclusive
in Washington, and now that the time
for "a run home at Christmas" is at
hand, the Christmas doings all have
been framed up for Washington, and
there is nothing to run home to.
This means, too. that campaigns
for re-election to Congress must be
conducted largely from Washington.
The regular session will run cer
tainly well along toward June, if not
to August. In fact, it has about
reached the point where Congress is
In session practically all of the time.
The next State primary likely will
be called for August, and may he a
little earlier. In that event, the mar
gin of time left for campaigning will
be rather narrow, and to make much
of it, candidates will have to do some
grand and lofty hustling.
There will be contests In several
Congressional districts--and w arm
ones, moreover—not to mention other
interesting rumored fights that may
or may not materialize.
WASHINGTON, Dec 22.- Presi
dent Wilson paid his compliments to
"calamity howlers" to-day when he
indicated to callers at the While
House that the nation understands it
is the duty of "hard-times prophets"
to keep busy always.
The President expressed himself a*
deeply pleased bver the evident incli
nation of the business interests of the
natkn to conform to the provisions of
tlie Sherman anti-trust act, but de
clined to make a specific statement on
the business conditions of the coun
try at the present time.
He waa asked if he knew of any
other corporations that were making
ready to follow the voluntary disso
lution move of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company.
He had none specifically in mind,
he said, and reiterated his belief that
Interests generally would adjust
themselves to legal requirements.
That the Government naturally is
willing to co-operate with all busi
ness men who desire to obey the law
is self-evident, according to Presi
dent Wilson’s views. He has gained
an impression from members of his
Cabinet and man.yjmembers of Con
gress that business men in genera!
are more than wilting to reorganize
in accordance with the provisions of
the law, and said the agreement as to
the dissolution of ttie American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company, em
phasizes this impression.
1914 State Fair Dates
Shifted for Masons
MACON, GA., Dec. 22.—In defer
ence to the Grand Lodge of Masons,
which will meet here in annual con
vention on October 28 and 29, the
directors of the Georgia State Fair
have, changed the fair dates to No
vember 3 to 10. It was originally
planned to hold the fair dui^ng the
last ten days In October.
For the purpose of stimulating
greater interest in the work of the
girls’ canning club, the State Fair
next year will pay $1,000 in cash
awards to the girls raisine the largest
yields and putting up more cans.
Awards amounting to $100 will be
given to the winners in the pig clubs.
Quit Gum and Rum
And Build Warships,
Is Advice of Maxim
new YORK, Dec. 22. The $30,-
000,000 spent yearly in the United
States for chewing gum would pay
for three dreadnoughts and the $2,-
000,000.000 contributed annually to
John Barleycorn would pay for 200
battleshjps."
Hudson Maxim suggested this novel
means of supplying a greater navy in
an address delivered to-day at the
"Peace" services in the New York j
Theater. The only waj to prevent
war, Mr. Maxim said, was to be ready
for it. He declared that if Spain and
the United States had been a little
better prepared there would have
been no war in 1898. Modern weapons
contributed to peace, he said.
"The machine gun is a labor-saving
machine." said Mr. Maxim. "It makes
possible in case of war that nineteen
men should stay at home to do pro
ductive labor where twenty once had
to go.”
