WATER AND LIGHT.
The city of Pearson, as the coun
ty seat of the young county of At
kinson, has assumed obligations to
its own citizens and the genera!
public she can’t afford to ignore.
Among these obligations are the
duties of providing a bountiful
supply of wholesome water, plenty
of light that they may see then
way at night, and a place where
stock and vehicles can be cared
for at all times.
These things could all be suppli
ed by private individuals but then,
the city would have to supervise
them, and see to it that the service
is satisfactory. Hut, we haveVait
ed for several years for private
capital to furnish these conven
iences only to realize that “There
was nothing stirring.” Hence the
necessity is upon the people of
Pearson to wake up to the silua
tion, and shoulder their duty in
the only sensible way open to
them —by voting for bonds tomor
row to provide these conveniences.
Let us do it willingly and cheer
fully.
The time has past when the lit
tle city of Pearson can dare to
maintain, a standstill policy —let
conditions care for themselves in a
hap-hazard way. She must go for
waid and onward until she reaches
the zenith of her glory. There is
no halting place.
The Tribune, while thinking
along this line, recognizes the fact
that the citizens of l*e r ou are,
and should be, vitality interested
in having good roads leading to
the county seat. They are so
interested from at least two stand
p >ints —one of patriotism, in order
that the citizens of Atkinson
county can come to the county
seat over good roads; and the other
that the city’s commercial inter
ests may be enhanced. These
things are worth while, and the
people of Pearson should lend a
helping hand and not wait and de
pend upon the county authorities
to do it all.
Let us go to the polls tomorrow
and by our vote provide two of the
needful conveniences—water and
lights. Then follow' it up with
strong efforts for good roads. Let
us do our very best; success will
be our reward.
The Atlanta Journal goes to the
limit in giving publicity to the
Wilson-Lansing imbroglio. Just

Aruie school is to continue only
.three weeks longer for the 1919 '2O

striving to do their very best and
learn all that is possible. Of
course we are rejoicing over the
fact that w e are to soon have vaca
tion, but its sad to part from have
inado.
Wo were very glad, indeed, to
have one of the teachers of the
Arson school. Miss Until Parker,
to visit our school last Monday.
She was here visiting her sister.

large and appreciative congrega

her home on Saturday evening,

pleasant time.
M r. B. W. Douglass. Sr., was on

time.

THE BOND ELECTION.
Court House and Jail Bonds win,
Road Bonds Lose.
Tl e bond election last Saturday
passed off quietly.
The voting at the Pearson dis
trict was enthusiastic and over
whelmingly in favor of the court
house and jail bonds, but not so
much as to the road bonds. There
vere 508 votes polled; only six of
hese were against bonds for build
ing a court house and jail, but
quite a number opposed the issu
ing of road bonds at this time.
There was no special effort made
to explain the road bond situation
to the voters until the last moment.
Hence, many people voted against
road bonds because they did not
fully understand the proposition.
This w ill not hurt as another elec
tion can be called whenever the
County Commissioners see fit to
do so, and when the voters can be
better informed on the subject.
The Axson district w r ote was
light! only 163 votes were polled,
but the Tribune is proud lochroni
cle the fact that these were solidly
in favor of the court house and
jail bonds. Those voters of the
Axson district who were indiffer
ent or opposed to bonds did not
show up at the polls to vote either
way.
The Willacooehee district polled
less than half her voting strength,
the exact number being 150, of
which 101 were against and 4!) in
favor of court house and jail bonds.
There seems to be in the city of
Willacooehee a coterie ef voters
who consistently and presistently
against the interest of the county;
they accomplish nothing beyond
showing their colors, The Tribune
says to them in all kindness that
they hurt nobody but themselves;
they succeed in doing themselves
and their neighbors an absolute in
justice. The election is over,
bonds have won, but the Tribune
wonders if this coterie of voters
realize the condemnation they
would have brought down upon
themselves from a great majority
of the people of Atkinson county,
yes of the Willacooehee district, if
by their intemperate votes, they
had succeeded in defeating the
court house and jail bonds and
forced the County Commissioners
to build these conveniences and
levy a sufficient, tax to pay the
cost in one year! Fellow-citizens,
think upon these things!
The Tribune is glad that the
most important part of the bond
election has won and that a court
house and jail can be built for At
kinson county without any serious
buidcu being placed upon the tax
payers. The road bonds can wait
a little while, but it will remain
a vital issue until their issue is
authorized.

Georgia’s Water Power.
Hon. John W. Greer, of Moultrie,
was in the city Monday represent
ing the Municipal League of Geor
gia, an organization of the smaller
eities and towns of the State, hav
ing for its purpose the utilization
of the water powers of the State
for the various purposes for which
electricity can be used, practically
discarding the use of w'ood and
coal for any purpose whatever.
Mr. Greer made a talk to the
City Council and a number of citi
zens on this and various progres
sive movements, such as furnishing
local markets for all the products
of the farm (about which the Tri
bune lias published much informa
tion and urged our people to co
operate with each other in procur
ing) and the necessity of an organiz
ation —County Board of Trade or
Chamber of Commerce- —which
would serve to get the progressive
spirits of the county together to
talk over the many needs of the
young county and securing an ef
fective force in getting them in
operation.
For Atkinson county Mr. Greer
recommended a tentative organiza
tion similar to the “Get Together,”

INFLUENZA
AND WEAK
BLOOD.
Run Down and Listless Condition May Make
You a Target For tbs “Flu."
BECAUSE BLOOD IS PROBABLY THIN.
At This Tir’e of Danger, Taka Pepto-
Mangan —!t Builds Rich, Red Blood.
No matter how- well you usually
are, if temporarily you’re run down,
you're a target for the influenza.
Contagion always gets listless
people first. Whether they real
ize it or not, their blood is thin
and undernourished —in no condi
tion to tight off the germs it meets
everywhere.
It is a wise precaution to take a
good tonic at this time of danger—
some well known builder of red,
vigorous blood, like Pepto-Mangan.
And if you did not think of this
in time —if you are now recovering
from a light with influenza —your
blood xvill need help for weeks
after you think the clanger is past.
Take no unnecessary chances.
Get Pepto-Mangan and start tak
ing it today, l’epto Mangan is an
effective blood builder that has
had the endorsement of physicians
for years.
Pepto-Margan is sold by drug
gists in either liquid or tablet form,
just as preferred. There is no
difference in medicinal value.
Hut be sure you get the genuine
Pepto-Mangan. Ask for Glide's
I’epto Mangan and be sure the
name is on the package. —Adv.

Mr. Greer was given an enthusi
astic .vote of thanks at the conclu
sion of his address.
Mr. Greer was for many years a
resident of Pearson, spent his
schoolboy days here; is a brother
in hnv of Hon. Jeff Kirkland. He
took a drive around the eitv and
suburbs, and noted the many
changes time had wrought since he
was here. He told the editor that
the changes and prospects were
very pleasing to him.
