No town can have prosperous merchants when h pood percentage of its people trade nway from home. "Because by trading at home you make it possible for more people to secure employment. You build up •» place for the coming generation to work without leaving home and being subject to the temptations and hardships of getting a start in u “OUR STATE BIRD” There has not been anybody Milledgeville during the past we who has not been a little thankful at least for paved sidewalks and streets. In every heart there is a joy that beat i with fervor when the first note of the Robin is heard in spring. All human beings marvel at tht melody of the songs which are pro duced by our feathered friends, yet there are few people who delve into the study of bird life and the songs and habits of the woodland Now, however, there is an interest being manifest throughout the state for a state bird. Georgia has her ,tate flag, her state flower, her state song, why shouldn't she have her state bird? Why shouldn't the peo ple of our state be willing to give just a small amount of their the feathered hosts who make for us a better place in which Throughout the state nominations have been made for this state bird "Because your home merchant isj Hnd tbe vote these three Jr friend and helps you in time of j as no »" in *e*. th « broWn need, helps you care for the needy “ u “‘ "Because the supposed saving in ice away from home is a myth, and sts you much more than the few nts you might occasionally save on purchvw which the out of town istomer gets as a bait.

The city of Milledgeville has vested a large amount of money for a street sweeper. The citizens should co-operate in keeping the streets clean. The indications are that Hoover, who is the tatting Republican Candi date, will not go to the Convention with enough votes to nominate him. If he tdtould noi it- cart be safely pre dicted that Resident Ccolidge will be the nominee. If - s; The people of the Southland .are today paying tribute to the memory of the men who wore the ?rey in the war between the States. No braver soldiers ever went into battle than the those who left their homes and firesides nnd enlisted under the Confederate flag. Their deeds of heroism, will ever live and their memories will be always cherbkel by the people. The public schools of Baldwin County will clone Friday of next week, May 4th. The fact that Bald win County has one of the best school systems of the State-cannot be de nied. County School Superintendent P. N. Bivins haa builded a system that give* the children of Baldwin County an opportunity to secure a high achool education. He has re ceived the cp-gperation of the Board of Education In his efforts. Just for your remembrance of the men of our towro Did you know that in the coune of two years our town furnished five state presidents —men who acted in this high ca pacity in their special line of busi- nea, as follows: Dr. M. M. Parks, President of the Education Associa tion; Dr. E. A. Tigner, President of the Dental Aaaociation; Mr. Miller S. Bell, President of the Bankers As sociation; and Mr. R. W.

E. Hyman makes hia formal an nouncement for Senator from the Twentieth Senatorial District, com posed of Washington, Baldwin and Hancock counties, it being the time for Washington county to name the Senator under the rotation system which haa been observed for many year* Mr. Ilyman has served three terms in the lower branch of the legislature and hia experience legislative work will be of valuable assistance in the senate. Washing ton county does not contain a i popular citiien and it is quite like ly that he will be elected without op position, aa our people are confident that he will discharge his legislative duties in an entirely satisfactory manner, and that he deserves this promotion in the political affairs of the state. thrasher, the red headed woodpecker, and the purple martin. An interest ing group for bird lovers of Georgia to study are these three, yet the vir tues of the brown thrasher stand far superior to the other two. True it is that the red headed woodpecker is a lovely bird drelied in his handsome coat of gorgeou: oring, but it is the bird's ability to sing as well as looks that mu considered. No one enjoys the per- sor who is beautiful but dumb. Tho.*** who know the woodpecker know that this time worn saying is truly ap plicable. His every move is a tinual peck on hte trunk of a or a harsh squawk as he flies head. Then comes the second candidate^ the purple martin, and this might be «aid for the bird which t®nu* of the bird lovers seem to want to term as “the social bird." Does the purple martin stay here the year around? If he does what does he contribute to the song life of the community? He hasn't a sweet song and the oodpecker far surpasses him in beauty. But when the third candidate is mentioned, the brown thrasher the hearts of bird lovers swell with pride. It is he who wears the glorious 'elvety coat of rich brown with a soft grey vest tinged with arrow heads of brown. It is he who makes the roadside cheerful and the trailing a joy forever. He knows not only his own song but numerous scores that bunt from the throats of his other friend* These he poun forth in • profuse strain so clear and melodious that that the very soul of the listner seems to feel the presence of the divine. As lovers of music and beauty, which Miall Georgia pepole select? The vote of the school children in Baldwin county will determine to a great extent the final selection. As a true citizen of Georgia.

WHY BUY AT HOME The Columbue Ledger points to the discussion of a Texas paper on the great question, “Why should you buy at home?” The Ledger notes that records at the local post office and express quarters will show that quite a few Columbus people still buy from mail order houses in other citiea. Following are the -arguments: “Because in buying at borne you are building -up your home town rather than its competitors, and when your home town grows your proper ty values increase. “Because M you build up your home stores they will be enabled and justified in carrying larger and more varied stocks^of goods so you may. have the variety to choae frbm that those who tapde away froja. home give as their' excuse for trading in the city.
