Dr. Chas. A. Wikle Writes
of the Advantages of
Good Roads.
The letter below which was writ
ten by Dr. Charles A. Wikle is in
deed interesting. We especially
commend the last paragraph as a
200¢ object lesson and think it well
wvorth tie consideration of the vo
ters of Cobb county.
Editor Journal and Courier :—
Since traveling through a por
tion of Michigan I have been so im
pressed with their good roads I
feel constrained to touch upon the
importance of public highways.
We have led the world in the con
struction of railroads, but we are
far behind in good road building.
It is said that only seven pef cent
of the roads in America are improv
ed and kept in repair while in Eu
rope all the roads are almost as
good as city streets.
Of course they help the automo
bile but they help the farmer a great
deal more and I am glad that the
prejudice against the automobile is
disappearing and a more enlighten
ed and practical view is being taken
of it. The era of American bad
roads 1s fast passing away.
The idea is settled the moment
the driver of a loaded wagon of
cotton or some other farm product
turns his wearied horses out of
mud and ruts and emerges upon
the smooth, hard surface of an im
proved roadway.
The perspiring animals them
selves prick up their ears, and with
a sigh of relief start off at a brisk
er rate. Not only that, but the far
mers can haul from three to four
times as much with less damage to
his team and wagon.
A nice, smooth highway running
through a community brightens ev
erything about it and the effects
are sometimes marvelous. The peo
ple take more interest in their
homes and even the farm lands be
gin to climb in price.
The time has passed when good,
thrifty people are going to move
into a community where bad roads
obtain. 1 dare say that there is not
a farmer in Cobb county, the ban
ner county of Georgia, who, if he
gives the question his intelligen
thought and consideration, would
not gladly vote for bonds for the
improvement of our roads.
[ have as good a road from my
home to Marietta as can be found
in the state, but I would gladly be
taxed that others throughout the
county could enjoy the pleasure and
comfort of driving over just such
a road. Yours truly,
CHAS. A. WIKLE,

DUNBAR--BAILEY.
Mr. and Mrs. George William Dun
bar, of Loganville, announce the en
gagement of their daughter, Myrtle
Belle, and Mr. Walter Stansell Bailey,

The wedding will be a quiet affair,
which will take place at the home of
the bride on July 31. No cards.

ANSWER IT HONESTLY.
Are the Statements of Manetta
Citizens Not More Reliable Than
Those of Utter Strangers?
This is a vital question. '
It is fraught with interest to
Marietta.
It permits of only one answer,
It cannot be evaded or ignored,
A Marietta citizen speaks here,
Speaks for the welfare of Marietta,
A citizen's statement is reliable,
An utter stranger’s doubtful.
Home proof is the best proof.

Marietta, Ga, says: “Having used
Doan’s Kidney Pills on several occas
ions when I bave felt in need of them,
I take pleasure in advising their use
to other kidney sufferers. I used
Doan’s Kidney Pills particularly for
attacks of backacke, caused by heavy
lifting and straining Whenever I
have had this trouble, I have found
that Doan’s Kidneys Pills can be relied
upon for relief.”

better shape to give the side STREETS
the attention which is needed so badly.
All towns and cities in both Ga. and
Florida are doing their street work this
way and it seems to me to be the only
solution of the problem,
Another important crying need just
now is a good modern hotel. One that
will accommodate visitors from both
north and south. Ido not believe that
we should build a large hotel, but con
struct a modern fire-proof building with
all conveniences, on some convenient
lot close in where tourists and any one
who has the price can be accomodated,
All we need now is for our citizens
to get together and push the move
ment through. It will be the best in
vestment that can be made. It will
make no difference whether a dollar is
ever paid in dividends or not. It will
help all branches of business and we
will be amply repaid in this way.
We now have the best organized po
lice department that we have ever had.
Blind tigers and law breakers are scarce.
Our fire department is doing excellent
work and with our new water works
system the sum of $lO,OOO is being sav
ed yearly in the way of insurance, and
all branches of the city government are
being run at the lowest possible cost.
The earnest co-operation of our citi
zens is asked to help the administration
in every way they can for the better
ment of the city.

POINTS OF VIEW. B
Lillian Russell, advising women on
how to be attracaive, tells them never
to appear listless or bored but to smile
and look pleasant no matter how it
goes against the grain. She adds—
beauty without common sense isl
‘meaningless and undignified. Also to
‘most people it becomes tiresome like\
)a flower devoid of fragrance. Miss
Russell does not lecture abcut clothes, l
baths and grooming which subjects!l
have been harped upon until we are|
tempted to believe that godliness is|
next to cleanliness in some minds.
This everlasting grooming and preen
ing by women reminds me of the old|
darkey who resented the stress her!
employer laid upon order and cleanli
ness in the kitchen, declaring: ‘‘l’spises
ter wuk in dese houses where de folks
does mo’ cleanin’ dan dey does cook
in.”’”” To be constantly manicuring
and massaging and brushing, using
cosmetics until a complexion is piano
polished, not only gives an unnatural
appearance but is like spending more
time sharpening and cleaning shears and
pruning-hooks than using them in field
and garden.
I recall a lovely litttle brunette,
whose face could light up with the
brightest smiles until she was radiantly
beautiful, especially in evening clothes
under glowing electroliers.
At her pink and white church
wedding she was veritably a vision of
loveliness—but can you guess when she
looked her best to me? It was on a
street car early one Sunday mofning
when an errand for a sick friend
carried me to a town-town drugstore—
that was years ago before trained
nurses were so plentiful. As I took a
seat in a returning car, behold the
passenger next to me was this dainty
maid.
Not only was her hair unkempt but
her face and hands needed soap and
water and she was anything but fresh
as to her apparel but she smiled at me
without embarrassment and said: ‘‘l’ve
been up all night helping to nurse a
sick baby and I wanted to get home in
time for Sunday school. I did not ex
pect to meet anyone I knew this early —
but I’'m sure anyone would pardon my
looks under the circumstances.”’
I thought: You look prettier to me
right now than you ever did before,
Lucy, and you belong to the salt of the
earth which would lose its savor if al
lowed to spend much time in a mani
curist’s parlor.
