There are many striking exarn
oles of the value of good roads.
Wherever roads have been perma
nently improved it is found that
there has been a very great increase
in value of the adjacent property.
Don’t have the nerve to send
items to this office announcing do
ings gotten up for profit unless you
want to pay for them. We sell our
space and papers for a living. If
advertising is worth doing it is
worth paying for.
Good roads will lead to the gen
eral improvement of the country
side. The farmer who drives to
and from town over a spacious,
smooth well cared for road will un
consciously come to effect corres
ponding improvements in the man
agement and operation of the farm.
If you know or hear of an inter
esting item in the community,
make it a point to see that it finds
a place in your local paper. We
should appreciate your effort. Any
thing which tends to better or
brighten the news service of a pa
per makes it of so much more val
ue to the community, and the sub
scribers are the ones mostly bene
fited therebv.

\n unoccupied man cannot he
happy—nor can one who is im
properly occupied. There are
swarms of idlers in the world, that
is m n who pursue no useful occu
pation, and sponge their way, of
ten living upon the hard earnings
of others. In this gr ind and glo
rious country no one need be with
out an honorable occupation.
Did you ever stop to reilect that
it "was one thing to talk about peo
ple and another thing to have peo
ple talk about you? If those of us
who use our tongues a little too
freely, about our neighbors, would
stop and reflect about this matter
and know the great ev : l that comes
from too much gossip and tattling,
we are sure we would call • halt
and gossip no more forever,
r
Our town has never enjoyed such
a trade as it has the past few weeks,
and it is increasing. T.e fact of
the matter is our business men
have got right down to business ]
and are selling goods cheaper than
they can be bought in any town of
th : s size in the state, and the peo
ple are fast finding it out and are
coming here from adjoining coun
ties to do their heavy trading.
He didn’t have a dollar; be
didn’t have a dime. His clothes
and shoes were looking just as
though they’d served their time.
He didn’t try to kill himself to
kill himself to dodge misfortune’s
whacks. Instead, he got some
ashes and filled five dozen sacks.
Then, next he begged a dollar. In
the paper in the morn he adver
tised tin polish th t would put the
sun to scorn. tie kept on adver
tising, and, just now, suffice to say,
he’s out in California at his cottage
on the bay.
There is a tine meeting in pro
gress at the Methodist church be
ipg conducted by Rev. Lucian Ro
per, the pastor, and Rev. Mr. Con
way and wife, of Cartersville. Three
services are held each day. two at
the ch urch, one at 11 o’clock and
at night, and one on the streets at
3 o’clock in the afternoon. Street
preaching is something new for
Camming, but the people are great
ly pleased with it. Already great
good has been accomplished. The
meeting bids fair to be one of the
best in years. Everybody cordially
invited to attend.
The investment by conservative
citizens in business and residence
property is a very good indication
of the faith of the citizenship in the
town. Their advance has been
gradual but it has only been in
keeping with the general prosper
ity that has been prevalent in ibe
town. People who formerly re
sided here on their return visits are
quick to see the change in condi
tions. There is an atmosphere of
good times prevalent.
Just at this time the mail order
houses are active in flooding the
country with l ig handsomely got
ten up catalogues, quoting attrac
tive prices on staple articles and
making all sorts of big sounding
claims for your cash. They do not
offer to exchange their goods for
the farmers’ eggs, poultry, butter
or other produce. They don’t trust
a penny’s worth, but make you
pay cash before you get the goods
and the freight besides. If any-
wrong with the goods or
they do not suit, they will not ex
change them for you. They pay
no taxes into your city or county
treasury, with which our schools
are maintained, roads, bridges and
sidewmlks built. They do not con
tribute to our churches, charitable
institutions, nor to our poor.

Yesterday we were asked if we
ever saw a baldheaded woman. We
answered “No, ’ w° never did, nor
did we ever see a worn in waltzing
around town in her shirt sleeves
with a cigar in her teeth, and loaf
ing around the stores. We have
never seen a woman go fishing
with a bottle in her pocket, sit on
the damp ground ah day and come
home drunk at night. No r have
wt? ever seen a woman yank off her
coat and say she could lick any
man in town. God bless her. she s
not built that way.
