The Tribune extends its unfeigned commiseration. 666 breaks a cold quicker than any remedy we know. Christmas in Pearson. There was no extensive demon stration in Pearson during the holi days. 11 was the quietest Christ mas Pearson has known in many years. There waslittle or nodrink ing or drunkenness to be seen. The things that broke the inonot ony of every day life was, first a small Christinas tree at the Baptist church Thursday evening for Mrs. J. B. White's Sunbeam band. The little folks were out en masse, and Jjuite a number of grown people loaned their presence to the occa sion. The exercises was coin meuced by the Editor who read scriptures bearing on the promise and birth of the Savior, God's best gift to the world, and whose birth they had gathered there to cele brate. He drew a simile between the gift of eternal life through the Savior, the expression of God's great love to fallen man and the gifts on the tree which Santa Claus would give them as an expression of the love of parents, guardians and friends to the children present. Elder John F. Smith led in prayer. The children’s program of songs and recitations was then rendered. Then Santa Claus entered, speak ing in an attempted unknown tongue, praised the Sunbeam Band and kept the little folks laughing and in a good humor while the presents were being distributed. The benediction by Elder Smith ended a very pleasant evening for the children belonging to the Sun beam Baud. The second was the more preten tious tree giown at the Methodist church Friday evening under the auspices of the Sunday-School. "The opening exercises were similar to that at the Baptist church the night before, also the program of songs and recitations by the young people. Pastor Luke acted the part of Santa Claus and put the children in a most pleasant humor and gladdened their hearts with the beautiful love tokens on the tree. Nearly every child in the com munity was remembered and had presents on one or the other trees. A decided effort was made to reach them all. Marriage Licenses Issued.

PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 31, 1020 STATE TREABUBY RAID 101 GUY PEOPLE Facts of Vital Interest to Everybody in Georgia Bonded Debt of State And Counties May Exceed $150,000,000.00 The Constitution of Georgia imposes restrictions on the debt creating au thority of the State, its counties and municipalities. , These restrictions were decreed for the protection of the property owner, the wage earner and the farmer, against the plausible schemer whose smooth words and half truths might cajole the public into lending the public credit to disastrous ventures. In their wisdom the framers of the Constitution knew that .public administration of prwate business was never successful. There fore they wrote into the Constitution a restriction that the State might not issue bonds except for state purposes; that cities and towns and counties should not exceed what they fixed as safe limits in incurring debt; and when bonds were issued such a per centage of voters should authorize them as would without any doubt dis close the sentiment of the people. Not Equaled By Carpet-Baggers Now, to help the Municipal League of Georgia, raid the Treasury of the State, all of these restrictions must he swept aside and Georgia and its towns and counties must plunge into unre strained and unrestricted bond issues, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. The total amount of the bonds authorized by the negro legisla tures in reconstruction days was but a bagatelle when compared with this proposed raid on the Treasury of the State, and the arguments put forth at that time in favor of these bonds were no less plausible than are now ad vanced by the gentleman who writes the literature of the Municipal League of Georgia. It is of no concern to the promoters of this project that in order to protect the people of Georgia from Inung multced by this bond issuing process, many of the issues of Reconstr/fiction Days were repudiated and are still unpaid. The total bonded debt of Georgia is now $5,818,202.00. If these bills be came laws the bonded debt of tire State and its counties and towns would soon be over $150,000,000.00. The interest on this debt would he not less than $7,500,000.00 every year Huge Taxes To Benefit Cities Only people living in the larger cities and towns would get either serv ice or reduced rates, but every home, every farm, every business man and every earner must pay the in terest arid any deficit in operations. Is it fair to the farmer that hi" property and his earning:; shoidd be mortgaged to enable the residents of the larger cities to ride on street cai'3 at less than the rides cost? Is it fair to the farm, r that his home should be mortgaged to provide electric lights in the brilliant hones ot the dwellers in large cities? Is it fair to the people who live out side the larger cities that they should be taxed to provide gas at less than cost to cook the food of the fashiona ble folk living in the cities? This is exactly what these bills will result in if they become laws. NOW—TUB USHR RAYS THE COST. , _ GARBS*! HELPED REGAIM STRENGTH Alabama Lady Was Sick For Tiree Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous and Depressed—Read Her O.'/n Story of Recovery. Paint Rock, Ala. —Mrs. C. M. Stegall, Of near here, recently related the fol lowing Interesting account of her re covery: “I was In a weakened con dition. I was sick three years in bed, suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn’t walk across the floor; just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn’t get any relief. I couldn’t eat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. “1 began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven’t had any trou ble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I don’t think there is a better tonic made and I believe it saved my life.” For over 40 years, thousands of wo men have used Cardui successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailment 3. If you suffer as these women did, take CarduL It may help you, too. At all druggists.
