THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN,
T
LITTLE TALK
ABOUT YOUR BOY
You think about a great many things. What Is your thought
about yonr boy? You spend many, anxious hours over your busi
ness. How many serious hours do you give to the lad? You dream
about additions to your land and your bank account and accumula
tions In material things. What Is your dream about additions to
the manhood and accumulations ot character in your growing
child? What If your business grows In large ways and your son In
small ways? When you are dead you will cease to live In your
business; but you will never cease to live In the child that bears
your name.
Furthermore, you are mightily concerned about the proper se- (
lection of those who are to aid you in the management and devel
opment of your business. How much concern do you feel about
those who are to aid you In the development of the character of
your boy? If In this day and time, tact and skill and Intelligent
and consecrated service are needed to develop a business enter
prise. they are Infinitely more Important In developing a human
soul and shaping a human character. Those who can aid you in
creating character and power In your child are worth more to you
than those who can aid you In adding another dollar to your bank
necount. Now If you are Interested In this matter read a few lines
more.
Thirty-four years ago the North Georgia Agricultural College
was a government mint. The gold of the hills was gathered here
and stamped and sent out for circulation Into all the world. For
more than thirty years the state of Georgia has been stamping
the mint marks of genius on the brains of boys and girls, and
they, too, have been going out for Intelligent service In every
laud. It has been doing better service In putting the right stamp
on character than It ever did In placing an image and superscrip
tion on gold.
Are you looking for a quiet and safe place for the education of
your boy, a place where he can grow In stature, where he must
work, live simply, think honestly and learn obedience to rightful
authority? '
If so. send him to the North Georgia Agricultural College, lo
cated in the mountains.
God Almighty has made no climate for the development of brain
and brawn like the climate of the everlasting hills. The still small
voices and moving shadows of the mountains have a potential influ
ence In moulding and directing for good a growing young life that
nobody has yet deflned.-
The North Georgia Agricultural College with full courses In
practical Agriculture, Mining and Electrical Engineering, In train
ing for teachers, courses for business and full course In academic
work, with Ita splendid system of athletic and military training, may
be the best place for your boy.

cus of the leaders of the Citlxens’ Club
and allied factions General Peter W.
Mslldrlm was chosen a candidate for
mayor. This organisation was led by
J. S. Collins and the selection of Mr.
Meldrlm came after the refusnl of
Mayor Meyer to permit hls name to go

the light will be between Air. Meldrlm

cessful In the county election In June.

A GOLD MINE
in South Georgia
Not to be dug from the bowels of Mother Earth,
by systematic, intelligent farming in
South Georgia lands.
but
905 Acres of as fine South Georgia lands as
can be had. 225 Acres of the tract already under
high state of cultivation. Practically every foot
of the tract can be successfully tilled except
where branches flow. About 700 Acres lie al
most as level as a yard.
A new railroad has recently been built right through these
lands, giving a main stop in the midst of the plantation. A far
mer living not over ten miles from this tract of land on a similar
farm has cleared by book account in the last three years over
$30,000.00, a record that the world can’t beat, and a healthier
section cannot be found.
