Snow the Absolute Superiority OF
Royal Baking Powder.

He labors enough to insure health, sees
his broad acres year after gear into fru-
i5ion of tountiful yield and has the
respect and good will Of his neighbor
He is more independent than any mon
: arch on the throne in this wide world.
He sleeps sounder and peaceful more
than the Gar Of Russia amid his gold.
And this condition will continue under
the stimulus of the friendship of neigh
bors, when all the powerful rulers shall
have been gathered to their fathers
Blessed be the farmer. He is the man
: we look to through good and evil, in
, sickness and in health, in storm and in
drouth. He is the mudsill of our whole
fabric.
Well, yes a man may live without
taking newspaper, and so could he
live without wearing shoes. The mer-
chants can sell goods without adver-
Using, and so could he sell some goods
even if he kept in cellar. But it is
our observation that the man who takes
the paper and wears shoes gets along
better than his neighbor who does
neither. SO does the man who adver-
tises get better trade than the man
who fails to do So
A Marietta gentleman the other day
in speaking of business success, remark
ed: There is nothing that will break
up merchants trade quicker than the
reputation of unfair dealing, little
overcharge or double charge, palming
oil inferior goods, or presenting ac-
counts the second time after receipt
had been given. This style of dong
business drives off customers who try
other merchants. If they receive bet
ter and fairer treatment with the new
merchant, then it only confirms their
conviction that they were dishonesty
treated by the merchant with whom
they had formerly traded" Evidently
honesty is the best policy as well as
right in principle
Go into the homes of the leading men
in the county and there you find the
county, a daily paper, or if he lives in
the country, one or two weeklies, the
church paper of his denomination and
a magazine or so. This is a reading age
and the men and women failing to sup
ply themselves with reputable litera-

great deal of pleasure but they are
placed at a disadvantage among their
fellows.-Lawrenceville News.
A team of Odd Fellows of Ohero-
kee Lodge went to Acworth Monday
night and initiated nine members in
the recently revived lodge at that
place. All the degrees were conferred
Those who went from Marietta were
Noble Grand Homer r. McClatchey
Mr.. j. j. Hunt, Mr.. Clarence Power,
Mr.. l. @. Ferris and Mr.. Frank Lump
kin. They report hospitable and royal
treatment.
The worst man l ever knew had no
vices. He attended church and broke
no commandment and INDUCED in no
excuses. Yet he Ragged his wife and
children to the grave, and destroyed
every flower of pleasure which sprang
up by his hearthstone and ruined the
tender young lives about him with the
unceasing temper of household tyrant
and petty demon.-Ella Wheeler
J Wilcox.
Prosperity is not brought about by
the people sitting idly around whiting
) dry goods boxes and croaking about
hard times" the scarrity of money,
and so forth and so on. Good, hard,
; downright labor is the only route to
5 the green fields of prosperity, and he
who seeks to gain his living in any 9TH
er way than by the sweat of his brow
will be brought to the realization of his
, mistake pretty soon.
DR.. ] Fl Patton and Judge NJ Stone
left Tuesday evening to attend the State
Synod at Valdosta. There will be no
prayermeeting Wednesday night at
Presbyterian church, but the regular
meeting of the Christian Endeavor
! will be held. Rev. W Waddell will
preach at that church next Sunday
morning.
. Did you ever think what tireless
letter writer a good local paper is?
Day after day and week after week,
reaching into years it goes on telling
the marriages, births, deaths and the
coming and going of people of the
-. town the business success or failure
crops, improvements, meetings in fact,
events of all kinds. All is a grist that
comes to the hopper of good local pa
per. Why, if you undertake to write o
letter to your absent friend and tell
half the news your local paper does,
