THETOWNDOCTOR
Is ;hcre anyone who thinks that
it isn't a pood idea to make the town
in which he lives just a little more
attractive, a little more interesting,
a little bit larper, and a little bit
better?
But, if r hpii came into your town
a stranper and said to any twenty
people on the street, or in the stores,
“This looks like a pretty pood town
here.” what percentape of the replies
do you suppose would be for the

you. what would you say?

and :» customer said, “This looks like
a prefy pood store,” and you answ

like it.” or “Well, it used to lie all
ripht." the boss would no doubt fire
you: if he didn't, he should! If

1N MEMORY OF MRS. HERBERT
HOOD
Mourned and wept by scores of
friends and loved ones, Mrs. Herbert
Hood departed this life on January
7, 1929 in Valdosta, Ga., born and
reared in Washington county, she
spent the greater part of her life
here. Before her marriage to Her
bert Hood, she was known and ad
mired as Sallie Lou Veal, she had re
sided in Valdosta for the past six
years where she pained many friends
by her gentle maqncr and lovely
Christian character.
She. curly in life joined the Metho
dist church at Dccpstcp and since
that time has lived a consistent
rhrist-like life. To knew her was to
love her—such a devoted wife and
mother, loving and dutiful daughter
and sister, true friend and neighbor.
It was a pleasure to be associated
with her—always so kind, so pure
of thought and speech and so
thoughtful of others—truly a eharm-
ing personality. Such a character
a- hers is indeed rare.

You don't have to be mayor, presi
dent of u civic club, head of a bunk
or a store to be important; your
vote counts just as much as that of
any junker, doctor, lawyer, mur-
chant, or city official, and it’s the
munity—the things you do for or
against it—that makes it alive or
dead, good or bad, forging ahead or
standing still.
When industry considers your
town, it is the people they want to
know about, not just the few shining
light.- — the big boys alone—and have
their nun study. It’s you they “feel
out,” often without your knowing it,
and on you, your attitude, how you
look at, act toward, and talk about
your community, depends on whether
their report is favorable for -a new
factory, distributing point, head
quarters for representatives, or for
whatever they are considering your
As a citizen you are a salesperson
for your cor .munity the same as a
clerk is a salesperson of a store; the
merchants, bankers and professional
people arc the same ns department
heads of u store, und the policemen
of your community are the floor
walkers.
It’s always up to the sales force of
any business. Yotfr town is a busi-
nes- your business—ufcu! just the
plaining to the last, still thinking of
others..
She is survived by her husband
an.l wo sons, Gamctte and Lamar
of Valdosta, her mother and father,
Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Veal of Miiledge-
ville, seven brothers, Louie, Dock
