In every business there should be at least an annual stock-taking, and there is no better time to do this work than at the beginning of the year. Not only should in dividualsand mercantile interests take stock, but firms and corpora lions —and people collectively who are bound together by common in terests. The old year, just gone, was fruitful of polities and elections — the like of which was never known before in the history of the Ameri can people, for bitterness without a parallel. However, with the passing of the old year also passed politics and elections; we have en tered an “off year” as to these things. They have given way to an activity far more serious and important—the material develop jnent of Atkinson county. The old year from an agricultur al standpoint has not been as fruit ful sis the people desired. Too many of our farmers pitched their crops last year with a seeming stolid indifference as to the results. They seemed to be entirely salisfi ed so they had something growing in their fields. It did not occur to them to consider the law of "supply and demand” in determining what they should grow. Had they done so they would have diversified their crops—raising nothing but food and forage; the necessities of life. Food and forage will find a market at a fair’price atjall times. Sweet potatoes are bringing a good price now, and corn and syrup will bring a better price later in the year. During the old year tradesmen generally have scarcely held their own and, as the result of (lie con ditions of the old year —their being no market for cotton, wool, hides, naval stores, lumber, nearly every thing upon which our people de pended to get money to meet their demands, —if pushed would havg to land in the Bankrupt courts for protection. These are grouchy but true statements, and the people must face them just as they are. One of the worst results from this state of itffairs is the feverish and unsettled disposition of many of the people; they are ready to poll up stakes and make a change, to seek a new Eldorado. The Tribune here and now ad monishes everyone thus inclined that the same conditions prevail everywhere in this fair land. Yon can’t hide yourself from them, and you might as well determine to work out the problem in Atkinson county —no better place ou earth. Look over the situation in which you lind yourselves on the thresh old of the new year: set up a prac tical goal, work up to and beyond it. The Tribune is sure all lines of activities in 1921 must be curtail ed. All prices are descending to a lower level until it reaches normal. It is sure the best success will come from pursueing but one line of business. Follow this business earnestly and v igorously, ami you will succeed. It will belabor that will yield a satisfactory harvest, providing you select a business you thoroughly understand. Let 'us got busy for the new year; plan wisely and definitely and work up to the result you an ticipate. Let us make 1921 the best year of our life from every stand poin t, ■«. The doughty Col. Jesse Mercer. Federal prohibition promoter, is in Savannah to interview specially Mayor Murray M. Stewart. There is no "Blood on the Moon” but they are sassing each other to “beat the baud.” OUR BANKS. The Tribune is specially proud of the splendid condition of the Banks of Atkinson county —Bank of Wiilaeoochee, Merchants and 'armors Bank of Wiilaeoochee and r>*nr*on Banking Company—at tbe beginning of the new year.. The latest published statements o£ these institutions are a wonder ful revelation of faithful'and con servative management on the part 1 f their officials—one and all. i’hey show that rigid economy has been practiced, that every leak has been found and chinked. The dividend end of the propo sition —so dear to the hearts of stockholders —have been well taken care of and will be paid on their regular dividend day* The banks of Atkinson county have never failed to pay an annual eight per cent, dividend. The by laws of one, and perhaps all, of them fixes a maximum of eight per cent, divi dends conditionally. These facts are refreshing to the stockholders of these banks, espe cially when they reflect that banks all around them in contiguous territory are falling by the way side and their affairs being closed up by the State Banking Depart ment. • After all the success of a bank, and other similar institutions, do pend largely upon the confidence which the people have in them, and it emphasizes the necessity of maintaining the utmost good faith and confidence between the banks and the public. To keep the record straight Col. 0. W. Ful wood, of Tifton should revise his scrap book. The records of the City of Tifton show that it was incorporated in 1891, the charter naming W. 11. Love as mayor, and 11. 11. Tift, .1, 1. Cle ments, M. A. Sexton, John I’ope and Dr. ,1. C. (loodman as council’ men. 'These are the gent lemen to whom Cob Fulwood, as- Notary Public, administered the oath of office thirty years ago.' II is true the price of hogs have fallen off to a mere pittance ap parently, still our farmers must continue to raise hogs for home consumption, if not for market, and while engaged in the business they might as well have the best strain of animals for the foundation of their herds. It always pays to do things well and to have the best of anything whether for cominer cial purposes, or for home eonsump tion. It keeps one satisfied and in a good humor. In another column we carry an advertisement of Cedar Hill Stock Farms, near Adel, (la., naming the date it will sell some excellent bred stock bogs, the big type Boland China. These are the hardest and most profitable breed of hogs on the market. SPECIAL COLUMN, lone (Cut « Wont. WAN 1 KD—Man With Team or auto to handle McConnou Products direct to consumer in this county.
