NHY NOT ADVERTISE 0U8 cOvNTYs

Gen. Phil Cook, secretary of state OF
Georgia makes the suggestion that each
s,ou0ty in the state make out small or
large pamphlet, according as the county
desires, containing brief information
which would be of interest to persons in
other states, and be prepared to answer
enquiries. He is often requested by par
lies in the north and northwest t) fur
nfsh information about different parts of
the state which he can not give for
many reasons, but if put in succlnct form
descriptive of the topography and posi-
BILE Industries of the county, its health,
climate, fertility, people, schools,
churches, roads, and everything of mate
rial Interest that could be put into it,
the secretary could answer inquiries
with facility without taking his valuable
time to dolt for county forgetful and
negisctful of It's own welfare.
Bongherty, Randolph and Clark coun-
4ies have prepared handboolIs, and the
benefit to those counties arising from
the distribution Of these pamphlets is
already being felt,
tits tile fashion now for cities, towns
and counties to advertise their advanta-
YES. and they will profit by the methods
adopted by good business men. When
A merchant wants to draw customers he
advertises his goods. If he is unknown
or in an out Of the way place he feels
that advertising is all the more necesSa-
nv. He knows that people at distance
are not going to hunt linn up unless the
TACT is brought to their notice that he
has Just what they want, 1t is the same
way wi th localities desiring settlers and
capital. SO long as they hide out nobody
viii hunt them up They must advertise
and attract public attention.
The cheapest way to do this is to pub
fish pamphlets, and the matter is one that
would have been worthy OF the attention
of the late grand jury. Could not ouI
commissioners, who are charged with
the best interests of the people, have
prepared and printed a pamphlet telling
of the advantages of Gus county? The sum
required for the pub ication of a few
Thousand Of them would be small, and
the advant ages derived from a proper
distribution Of them would be untold.

Do anything but lie for Dawson.

Those who have been accustomed to
cry ''hard ii mes'' would be surprised to
visit the country and see what a lack
there is for their doleful tune. There is
more bread and meat and other home
raised provisions in the country to-day
than at any time in ten years, and the
condition of the farmers is truly encour-
aging. is true they haven't much
money, but they have plenty of home
raised supplies to run them, and when
the crops are harvested the proceeds will
go into the pockest of the honest tillers
of the soil.
