CUMMING, GA OCT. 20 1917
LIBERTY BONDS OFFER SMALL
INVESTOR DISTINCT ADVANTAGE
The second Issue of Liberty Bonds
now being offered to the public is of
exceptional interest to the small inves
tor for the reason that they bear four
per cent interest and are exempt from
all state, county, city, income, excess
profit or war profit taxes that may now
be in force or that may be levied later.
This is only true where the amount of
bonds held by an individual or cor
poration is not in excess of $5,000.00.
Where the value of bonds held is in
excess of that amount, they are not
exempt from income, excess profit or
war profit taxes.
This is one time where the small
investor gets the best of it, and this
feature is expected to make the bonds
very popular, with those who have a
comparatively small amount of money
to Invest. *
Asa matter of fact, a four per cent
investment under existing conditions
that is free from tax is more attrac
tive than mortgages or other high
class investments bearing a much
higher rate of interest. The Govern
ment very properly considers that any
one who is able to buy large numbers
of bonds is able to pay a higher tax
than is the person who can only invest
a small amount.
South Should Buy Heavily
The South is more prosperous than
at any time in recent years. Every
thing that is raised here can be sold
readily at a price that a few years
ago would have been considered un
reasonable. No section of the country
has been more liberal in its contribu
tion of men, but this contribution of
flesh and blood will be wasted unless
we are equally libi* r al with our money.
When the first Liberty Bond issue
was sold, the South’s subscription was
not what it should have been. This
was largely because of the fact that
Southern people have never been in
the habit of buying bonds of any kind
to the extent that prevails in the
North and East. We are now more
familiar with securities of this kind,
and it is expected that our record on
this second issue will be very much
better,
LIBERTY 30NDS WILL
HELP TO SOLVE THE
CHRISTMAS GIFT PROBLEM
The sale of the second Liberty Loan
bond issue at this time has been hailed
in many quarters as being particularly
timely. This applies especially to peo
ple who are anxious to make Christmas
gifts of unusual value, because they
will he able, by making small payments
from time to time, to acquire Liberty
; onds before the arrival of the holiday
\,son.
Christmas Packages for Soldiers.
If you have a son, brother,
sweetheart, or other relative, in
the U. S. Army, and want to
send him a Christmas present,
anu want it to reach him on or
by Christmas morning, you must
mail it not later than November
15. Every package "must bear
the inscription “Christmas Mail”
and in the upper left hand corn
er the name and address of the
sender, with the complete ad
dress of the party for whom it is
intended. Every parcel must b
so wrapped as to admit of easy
irispeetion by the postmaster.
WANTED—CIean, cotton rags

Strickland & Wisdom.
For Sale or Rent.
I have two very desirable
homes in Cumming—homes that
are worth the money. I want to
rent or sell one of them and will
make an attractive price. For
further information see meat
once. R. E. Hope.
Here are some straight from
the SHOULDER and interest
ing facts about the bonds of
the Second Liberty Loan now
offered for sale:
1. A LOAN. —You lend your
money at interest, you do not
give it.
2. EASY PAYMENTS. A
few dollars down buys a bond.
Bankers and employers every
where arrange payment of bal
ance out of savings.
3. SUPERLATIVE SAFE
TY. —The promise to give you
your money back, a promise
signed by all our 110,000,000
people, including the signature
of every multi-millionaire in
America. Your bond is like a
mortgage on the whole United
States.
4. SAFE KEEPlNG.—Abso
lutely safe in any honest bank
er's vault; safer anywhere than
currency, for it is plainly a re
ceipt for money you deposited
in the Treasury of the United
States.
5. TAX FREE.—No tax as
long as you live on any pur
chase not above $5,000.
6. MARKET VALUE—You
can sell your bond or borrow
on it on a moment’s notice.
7. THE GOVERNMENT IS
NO RICHER than the people. It
needs the SSO of the average
man. All patriots must help.
J. A. McCORD TERMS
LIBERTY EONDS THE MOST
CONSERVATIVE INVESTMENT
"Liberty Loan bonds are the safest
investments in the world, and the most
conservative bond buyers in the coun
tiy will bo the heaviest purchasers of
every loan floated,’’ says J. A. McCord,
governor of the Sixth Federal Reserve
Bank. He added, however, that these
specialists would not have the field to
themselvc.Ain the present war loan, hs
they did to a large extent in the 3vst
issue.
The great majority of the American
people were at that time unacquainted
with bonds and securities, according to
Mr. McCord, and needed lo be educat
ed. That they have received this edu
cation, he said, was evidenced by the
interest shown by our .laboring class
in the Second Liberty Loan.

CATTLE FOR SALE.
There is a large number of
high grade feeding steers and
pure bred Hereford breeding cat
tle for sale in the drought strick
en region of Texas that will have
to be sold and transferred to sec
tions where there is feed for
them or be slaughtered. The U.
S, Department of Agriculture
has placed a number of special
ists at Ft. Worth to locate and
purchase the kind and sex of cat
tie desired by sections wishing
to purchase. These eatt'e will
have to be shipped in car lots.
The U. S. Department wired me
to know if my county could use a
car of these cattle 1 replied by
wire that I thought my county
could use a mixed car of Ilere
foros weighing from 250 to 500
pounds for breeding and feeding
if prices were right I think we
can get these cattle delivered
here at very reasonable figures.
I want every farmer and busi
ness man in Forsytn county that
are interested in building up live
stock industry in Forsyth countv
to meet me in Cumming at my
ofiiee on next Saturday, October
27th, at 2p.m., and lets talk this
cattle business a little. I believe
a car load of thorough bred
breeding beef cattle scattered
thoughout the county will do
more for building up the county,
financially, than any other pro
ject we can enter into,
Please meet me promptly and
let’s let the world know that
Forsyth covnty means business.
Yours very truly,
S, J. Smith,
County Agent.
