TOOLE, Editor and Prof Advertising rates made known on ap plication. Colquitt, Ga. Nearly Twenty Three With the issue of the 25 iust The Lilieral will have rounded otr twenty-three years in Mille> county. The paper has made some mis takes, but it goes without sayim that we have put forth our bed efforts to make The Miller County i Liberal tit to be read iu any hom> in Georgia. Many years we labored on with out collecting our dues. In fact an attorney here said something like thia: “Mrs, Toole will do th work, but you will have a tiro getting her to present a bill.’.’ We were trying to fully mec the expectations of a large fa roil; . whose demands are usually heav on parents. In the years past, lots of tlx business men have failed to us the advertising columns. Enthiu lactic work availeth much let witbout the backing of the enter prising citizens. The Decatur County Board o Commissioners have the EXPEN SEB of each squad of the chaii gang published monthly. Tas payers know bow their money it being expended; and this patron age helps in the dissemination of news and information. , Only one paper is published 11 Bainbridge. It has the supper' of the banks, merchants, profess ionals, mechanics and others. W> think only one is published in Al bany, and the Herald is most lib erally supported. The Miller County Liberal prob ably gives the best service for tin least money of any publication ir South-West Georgia; therefore, it deserves the patronrge of th' people. Printing materials have advene ed more than anything else w> I know; therefore, we need the pat < tot all we do. I — t Reap Knowledge t (j Sir Walter Scott, whose n«m* Q waa immortalized by bis works said: “It is with deepest regret that I recall in my manhood tin t OPPORTUNITIES which I neg a lected in my youth. Through ev ery part of my literay career I ; have felt PINCHED and HAM PERED by my own ignorance, aid I would, at this moment, give halt t the renntatiou I have had the goo. fortune to acquire, if, by so doing I could rest the remaining part 01 a sound foundation of learning and science.” Keep It Up. One step won’t take you very far You’ve got to keep on walking; One word won’t tell folks what you are, You’ve got to keep on talking; One inch won’t make you very tall You’ve got to keep on growing; One little "ad” won’t do at all, You’ve to keep ’em going.
