THE NORTH GEORGIAN
Farmers of Forsyth County Should Get
Rucker’s Select No. 1 Cotton Seed Now.
Price $3,50 per Bushel at Warehouse .
The roads are fairly good now, and any farmer can come in his Ford and get his seed,
coming to Alpharetta and returning within a few hours, lie can bring his neighbor with
him and bring back twenty bushels of seed with him. Every farmer in Forsyth county
who desires to know the truth about the Rucker cotton ought to come down into Milton
county and enquire for the facts, and then he will plant no other variety of seed.
The Rucker cotton is a cross between the Cook and the King, possessing the good qual
ities of both and the bad qualities of neither. It is a very early itifty-fifty cotton, frequently
turning out c;o per cent. lint, and seldom falling below 46 per cent. The bolls are large
and very easily picked. Acre for acre it will bea any other variety producing seed cotton.
Forsyth county farmers who come after seed and fetch their sacks can get what they
desire for $3.50 a bushel. At this price we can make no discount for any number of bushels.
These seed are well matured and thoroughly culled. They arc the purest and best that
can be produced. They are seed that have been grown this year from the best seed we had
tl ucker Cottonseed Company,
Alpharetta, Ga.
The Cumming friends of Mrs.
Warren Brannon are sorry to

journey.
How to help Save our Soldiers’
Lives.
Save peach stores, apricot pits,
the shells of hickory nuts, but
ternuts, walnuts, prune pits,
plum pits,,cherry pits* date seed
and olive pits. The carbon pro
duced from these materials when
placed in respirators will save
the soldiers’ lives by absorbing
German poison gas.
Dry the materials thoroughly
and deliver to the Red Cross
room at J. G. Puett’s residence.
Every person in Forsyth coun
ty can do this.

NOTICE.
To the voters of Forsyth County
It is of the utmost importance
to the people of the South that
we get out a full vote in the No
vember election. This is the only
vote which is reported to Wash
ington, and it is this vote upon
which our representation is bas
ed. As long as our vote does not
show a comparative full strength
so long will bills be introduced in
Congress to reduce our number
of Representatives.
It only takes a short time to
vote and I trust every man in the
district will cast his vote on No
vember sth.
Very truly,
Thos. M. Bell.
Notice to all Millers and Mer
chants of Forsyth County.
We wish to especially call your
attention to a recent order pass

This record must be kept in
such a way that‘it can be easily
inspected at all times, and any

To the Democrats of Forsyth
County:
The Democrats of Forsyth
county are earnestly requested to
go out to the polls on November
sth and vote for the nominees of
the Democratic party, both Nat
ional and State House officers.
It is necessary for different
reasons that we make a good
showing at the polls on election
day.
The Republicans favor, and are
making it an issue in the north
ern states, to fix a price on cot
ton and to prosecute the war to
a final end, without considering
peace terms. The Democi’ats
favor ending the war by nego
tiating peace from an allied stand
point, and not losing any more of
our boys at the front.
Certainly we don’t want a price
of 25. cents fixed on our present
cotton crop.
We have been informed that
there will be a ballot at the polls
duplicating the Democratic Bal
lot except the name for United
States Senator. Be sure that you
vote the Democratic ballot.
Again urging all democrats,
and the committee
from each militia district, to get
all the vofers out to the election
and roll up the biggest Demo
cratic vote ever shown in For
syth county. •
While this is your privilege
and duty, I want to thank you in
advance for doing it.
Faithfully yours,
E. A, Bennett,
Chairman.

The Doctor Away From Home
When Most Needed.
People are often very much disap
pointed to find that their family physi
cian is away from home when they most
need his services. Diseases like pain in
the stomach ana bowels, colic and diarr
hoea require p.ompt treatment, and
have in many instances proven fatal be
fore medicine could he procured or a
physician summon* and, The right way
is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Colic and Diarihoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe a better medicine
for th"se diseases. JJy having it in the
house you escape much pain and suHer
ing and all ribk. Buy it now; it may
save life.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
The best of us are like animals—we rush into holes for
shelter. Home is such against the hardness of the world.
Margery Bell, the Cleveland girl who ran away, said on her
return home: “You'll never mow how much you want and
need your mother, or your brother, or your father, until
jyou’re away from them.”
61 Ah, how strong, how unerring, are the fundamental in
stints of human nature ;we can never outlive them. The
joyous child allured by the bright flowers, the butterflies, the
rainbow, may forget and wander far. But when the feet
are bruised and the limbs weary and the heart sore, and it
seems naught but strangeness, it cries for home.
Men and women have a little stronger limbs and a little
stronger hearts ; they can chase the butterflies and the rain
bows a little farther, and then they, too, must like the little
child, see the mocking folly of it all and weary, heartsick,
cry for refuge—home.
For many of us the old home may no longer exist except
in memory, but if in memory it is enshrined, then whatever
the disappointments, the deceptions, the despairs of life, we
still may turn new hope, new courage, and new inspirations,
as did this poor girl, back to the old home, where love glows
against the world’s coldness.
Misfortune has its recompense when it turns us back to
set our lips once more to the spring of love tnat is pure and
undefiled.
Amid joy and successes our surroundings seem not so near
to us; they are remote in their unreality; their glitter and
abundance. And when sorrow comes it finds us sick with
loneliness, it is then that in the lowly home of childhood
every table and chair and picture seems to take tongue and
call and call, and call to us. And the call comes thru the
distance and thru the tike strains of deep-loved and
never-to-be forgotten music, filled with multitudes of sweet
associations tnat make the heart beat quick.
Hold up your heads, girls ! The ugliest of you may have
the beauty of health and purity and innocence. The plain
est may make herself so beloved that the hearts of those who
know her will long for her presence, and to them she shall
seem the very queen of beauty, If your lips are too thick
and lacking in curves, teach them to utter sweet words of
sympathy and noble words of inspiration. II your handsare
too large, let them ever be ready and helpful, the glad al
moners of a generous heart. It will shine thru and be ap
parent to the dullest eye, and while making the mind and
heart beautiful, do not forget the body. Keep it clean,
wholesome and pure, and you will be a delight to yourself
and those about you. No matter how bright the eyes may
be, if they reflect unkind, unlovely thots they are not beau
tiful. No matter how soft and white the hands may be, if
they cannot work they are useless members commanding no
respect.
“A good wife’’ —how'much happiness is contained in these
three short words. Her power for good L is perfectly irre
sistible. It does not matter how energetic or industrious a
man may be, with a careless or spendthrift wife his best ef
forts are in vain.
Thete are hundreds of young men in every great city, in
the very lowest depths of degradation, whom the home in
fluence carefully and prayerfully extended thru tender, af
fectionate, womanly letters, might have saved. There are
hundreds of others, just taking their first lesson in vice, who
may be brought back to purity by loving words from moth
ers, sisters, or sweethearts. Until a man becomes thoroly
vicious, the thot of a 'pure woman’s love will do much to
restrain him from iniquity. If that love grows careless of
him, he grows careless of himself. Think of this, you who
have sons, brothers, or lovers away among strangers. Re
member that you owe them a sacred duty; and give them
frequent missives from home, freighted with love and ac
companied by earnest prayer.
Keep the home*-fires bright if you would have the winter
of life warm and pleasant,
There is always a ray of light to pierce our gloom, if we
will not close our eyes and refuse to see it.
There are a great many things in this world that we are
not sure of but there is one thing we may be sure of—“Be
sure your sins will find you out.
