TIME TO TAKE STOCK.
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, ■«.

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.
