THE STRANGER WHO IS 1
WITHIN OUR GATES 1
What Effort Are We Mak'llg to
Reuch Them or Stop Thom a*
They Past On.
By J. L. SIBLEY.
Every day, if not every hour in
the day, there passes through Mill
edgeville from two to twenty auto
mobiles laden with tourists, and
their belonging? on their way to
Florida or some other spot in God’s
country at least during the winter
months, if not all the time.
We let them go without one effort
to stop them, or interest them in
this section or city. They run all
the way from the laborer to the
multi-millionaires. Some have money
to buy homes with, some looking
only for comforts and pleasures, but
it i s all the same to us, we sell them
a little gas and with hardly an extra
word let them go to enrich other
communities.
There are often tired women and
children in the cars who would en
joy an hour’s break in their jour
ney, for some come from North and
West of the Ohio River, and as far
East as Maine.
Why don’t we get out a little
I folder, giving the exact road with
every turn, marked from Sparta to
Macon, showing Milledgeville, so
they could run it day or night, also
give them a description of our city,
schools, county products, prices of
lands, and everything that pertains
I to this county and Middle Georgia;
and see that one or two of these get
in every car that conies through
this town.
I believe it would he well to have
a nice camping ground set apart for
these people some where near the
e.ty, so that they would stop over
at night, with electric lights, water
and etc. They might not stop the
first trip, hut they would stop as
they returned and pass the word to
others on the road and it would ad
vertise our town from Dan to Ber-
sheba.
We have got to be up and doing.
These people used to go through by
Savannah to Florida and when the
roads and bridges are renewed, they

The true worth of a man or woman is the measure of his or
her character.
Did it ever occur to you that precisely the same is true of a
banking institution?
If this bank enjoys success and a high reputation; if it is a
truly up-building force in the community; if it is fulfilling
its highest mission as a bank, it is all due to the character
that makes it the institution it is.
