The happiness of many homes in
Milledgeville was greatly increased
i during the Christmas season by the
coming home of loved ones, who had
de with the history of the city and
county. These reasons should en-!
title it to the enthusiastic support of
the people.
But there are other reasons be
sides those of sentiment. Every
community must have a live and pro
gressive newspaper, and if one is i
published it must receive the support I
of the business men.
Every progressive merchant knows
that by u .in;; the advertising columns |
of his local paper he cun reach the I
public and in this way ^increase the
volume of his business.
The Union-Recorder affords the
merchants and business men of Mill
edgeville their best advertising med
ium for it has the largest number
of readers than any other paper cir
culating in their trading territory.
If the merchants and business men
of Milledgeville will, during the com
ing year, patronize the advertising
and job department of the Union-
Recorder more liberally, we will b<-
aided in giving our best efforts in
publishing an up-to-date and progres

honor and a credit to this community
and we assure them that they shall
be given value received.

This shall be the subject at the
Baptist church for the next several
Sunday nights at 7:30. It is re
markable how great a part a certain
Bible text played in ihe life of many
of our great men.
Next Sunday night we shall have
Thomas Chalmers great text. Chal
mers war a great man, a great teach
er and a great preacher. The .story
of the part played in his life by his
great text is most interesting. There
will also be a male quartette.
On the following Sunday night we
shall have Luther’s great text. We
are so familiar with Luther that we
do not need to rehearse his story.
Yet Carlyle said that the nations of
Europe had risen or fallen according
to their attitude toward Luther.
Sunday morning next the subject
will be “Beginning the Year.” One
f the best ways for us all to begin
the year is to go to the house of wor
ship. It is altogether possible that
rnuny in the pew shall be able to
pr. uch a better sermon on how to
begin the new year. If you should
like to preach it let me know and we
can divide the time.

that the losses sustained two years

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A GOOD
BUSINESS MAN.
Some good hustling business man
could render Milledgeville a valuable
service by completing the organiza
tion of a building and loan associa
tion.
A large number of shares have al
ready been subscribed for, a notice
published that « charter would be ap
plied for. AH that is needed at this
time is for some hustling business
man or men to get together and carry
the movement forward to success.
A building and loan association
would lie worth a great deal to Mill
edgeville, as it would afford- an op
portunity for house building and
home owning in the city. There has
been a scarcity of homes here for a
number of years.
A building and loan association |
would give the man of moderate j
means the opportuni'y to build and j
own his home. It also could be made

Girl students at Northwestern Uni

fact that they are constantly growing

plumpness if they would “lay off” the
ice cream sodas and sundaes and eat
more substantial food.
