The following paragraph from the
Augusta Herald are words of truth:
"The glory of our land, the future of
our city, state and nation must rest
upon the character of our young men.
Whether worthy or not, into their
hands must be placed the standards of
the future. As they are. so will be our
national and civic destiny. To shape and
mould them for higher ideals, for no.
bier things than we have known, is our
duty. If the son is not better than the
father, then has the father been rec
reant to his duty. If we cannot place
the feet of our children upon a higher
plane than our feet have pressed. we
have been delinquent.
The home merchant is the man who
gives you credit when you have no cash
to buy the necessaries of life, The
home merchant is the man who HELMS
you to pay the taxes that run yonr
schools and pave streets. The home
merchant is the man to whom YOU
appeal in time of distress for favors.
Then why should you ignore him when
you desire to make purchase? He
sells goods goods at as low figures as the
man who! does business in the big city.
The home paper is the friend in need
1t is to the home paper you must look
for all aid in time of depression and it
heralds good tidings in time of prosper
ity. Remember, the hills look green far
away
We are told it is now against the law
for any one to take a young mocking-
bird from its nest or capture the same
in any manner for any purpose what
ever.
Judge Gober says while there will be
a good peach crop made, it will not be

No establishment can long continue
to do business on the strength of form
er prominence, says persistent news
paper advertiser. In every growing
community the population is constant
ly changing, old citizens dying or re-
firing to private life, while new men

lishments as well as old showing daily
enterprise, people cannot keep in mind
