TO CUR PATRONS:
Having leased the Times and
assuming control of same with
this issue, we feel that a state
ment of our intentions for the
paper would not be amiss.
As a business man to business
men, we are of the opinion that
the man who does the business
this year, will have to hustle.
Advertising is your greatest bus
iness-getter. The buying public,
generally, have adopted a con
servative. and consequently safei"
buying policy. Seek their busi
ness in their own homes—around
their own firesides, the same as
the “mail order” houses do.
Your home paper is the best me
dium you can use to reach these
desirable homes. We can’t sell
your goods, our business is to
tell the buying public in an at
tractive manner what you have
to sell and where you are located.
To our readers, as an editor,
we would suggest that you read
the paper carefully and locate all
mistakes and errors; being sure,
however, you always retain the
sense of the article in which the
mistakes occur. Don’t wait for
us to mail you a statement to
pay your subscription. Be sure
it is paid in advance. Send us
the news items. The editor is a
stranger and will appreciate it.
Visit the office and lets get ac
quainted. We might be cousins.
When your neighbor comes to
borrow your Times, tell her that
she must get her husband to
E3ETTER PRINTING
Printing that stands outirom the ordinary!
Characterized more by fine restraint than
by elaborate decoration.
Printing that rings true because of honest
craftsmanship and the use of honest ma
terials=this is the kind of printing we are
prepared to furnish you.
THE WILLACOOCHEE TIMES
JOB PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS
Willacoochee, Georgia
send us a dollar and they will re-!
eeive the paper for eight whole |
months. In other words make it i
covenant to say a good word to
your friends for your home town
paper.
Thanking each person for the
items handed us this week, we
are Respectfully,
C. B. Smith.
Just what will be the outcome
of the municipal election over at
Homerville remains to be seen.
Both factions are claiming ille
galities, so the chances are the
election will be held over again.
Mickey, that quaint little char
acter, who appears at the head
of this column, also says of the
merchant who has been in busi
ness for a long time and says
everybody knows where he is,
that the people know where the
graveyard is too but they don’t
want to go there.
Our people are looking at the
world with their heads a little
higher this week on account of
the upward trend in the price of
cotton.
The lady who fasted forty-odd
days trying to make of her hus
band an evangelist in the church
of her choice has given up hope
of success, and now his grocery
bill will assume its normal pro
portions.
When in Rome do as Romans
'do, but do not forget what a nice
town your home-town is.
Our genial Mayor is * ‘on the
job”, and notifies the public, in
this issue of the Times, that if
the citizens do not approve the
laws, to have them repealed.
Figures have been tabulated
on the deflation of money in the
past few months, and the Fed
eral Reserve Board reports that
$2.00 for each person in the Uni
ted States, has been withdrawn
from circulation. We miss our
two, too.
Just a little fun will make the
times no harder. Laugh and be
fat: You may have toothache
tomorrow.
We do not hear of some smart
guy advising “eatless” economy.
The Lord Mayor of Cork tried it.
The 10-hour day man will soon
THE WULACOCCIIEE TIMES, WILLACOOCHEE, GEORGIA
be with us again. Large em-'
ployers of labor are cutting wa- j
ges and also requiring labor to |
work 10 hours per day. We pre- i
diet a cessation of the great
wave of crime when this ruling
goes into effect generally.
Wish someone would get mad
and build some more houses in
Willacoochee, if for nothing but
juet for rent.
Did you ever stop to think just
what a good place Wiilacoochee
is to live in? Write your uncle,
and get him to move here. That
is sure enough boosting.
The late census shows that
more than one-half of the popu
lation of the United States live
iin the cities —a powerful argu
ment why farmers should raise
more eats.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
I wish to call the public’s at
tention to a few City laws that
are being almost daily violated
and in most cases un-intention
ally:
Throwing paper, boxes, boards,
or plank, or in fact, trash of any
nature on the public streets of
the Town.
Getting on and off of moving
trains in the City limits.
Hitching stock to shade trees,
fences, light or telephone poles.
Exceeding the Automobile
speed limit of 10 miles per hour
in the business section of town
and 15 miles per hour in other
parts of town.
Operating Automobiles after
dark without front and rear
lights.
Selling merchandise of any
kind on Sunday except medicine
or burial supplies.
The Marshals have been in
structed to enforce the above or
dinances.
If the above ordinances do not
meet with the approval of Citi
zens of the Town, have your
Councilmen to repeal them.
Respectfully,
L. W. Summerlin,
Mayor.
JANUARY?
The first month in the year—
The birth month of good resolu
tions; and consequently, the
month when new Annanias clubs
are organized with many charter
members—when all your month
ly statements bear reminders to
please settle up so as to help to
get all their books straightened
—When farmers move and start
all over again to prepare for a
new crop. When your paper is
starting under new management,
wants a lot of new subscribers,
wants you to telephone in those
news items along with a check
for your subscription—Wants to
send the paper to your boy or
girl who is off at sehool—Wants
your moral support—a good word
to your neighbor who do’n’t take
the paper will be appreciated.
Help Boost.

Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia
Socialism Will Take Farms
After Public Utilities
Are Swallowed Up
The Municipal League of Georgia
*ays:
“From 1910 to 1919, 310,000
horise power were developed by
the Hydro-Electric Power Com
mission of Ontario.”
The Rea! Facts About Ontario
The actual development by the Hy
dro-Electric Power Commission in
Ontario from 1910 to 1919 was less
than 60,000 horse power.
The Municipal League of Georgia
has much to say about the number of
farms in Ontario using the service of
the Hydro-Electric Commission of On
tario.
The facts are that some farmers in
Ontario, living within or close to
tbwns or villages are using electric
service just as they are in Georgia, -
but that electric service cannot be
furnished farmers generally be
cause of the expensive machinery nec
essary to make high tension electric
current available on isolated farms.
Promises Can’t Be Carried Out
None of the promises made by the
Municipal League of Georgia to put
electric service on the farms can be
carried out. These false promises
are written simply to get your sup
port of their raid on Georgia’s treas
ury.
Georgia Companies Ahead
of Ontario
The electric companies in the
United States are devoting
continuous and persistent ef
fort to working out a practicable plan
-of reaching the farm house with elec
tric service at a reasonable cost, but
the problem has not yet been solved.
The companies in Georgia are far
ahead of the Ontario public-owned
body, and second to none in the United
States in the character of equipment
and quality of service rendered.
The Municipal League of Georgia
says:
“The public utilities such as gas,
water, light and power plants are dif
ferent. In them the property of the
public is used.”
This statement is untrue, and is an
other adroit appeal for your support
in their proposed raid on the Georgia
Treasury.
m*. Huge Cost Will Increase Taxes
The facts are that every piece of
property used by a water, gas, light
or power plant must be purchased and
paid for. The water in the streams
cannot be used to generate electricity
unless heavy investments are made in
dams, machinery and transmission
lines. The land that is flooded and
the right of way for the transmission
lines must be bought and paid for.
Will Next Want Free Food
Your farm may be called public
property next on the plea that it pro
duces food and clothing which cr«
public necessities.

With Money
Few men are careless with actual
cash, but many men do not stop
to think that the checks and notes
they give out represent money and
that fraudulent alteration of a
check may mean a serious loss.

That proposal to reduce the cost ol
leather by tanning sharks’ hides maj

Liberty bond prices may continue - !?

Chinese women are demanding rep

If the Turks destroy a few mort
