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. Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer; DeVoe. \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. (m) WATCHES! ©JEWELRY! SILVERWARE! SPECTACLES!
