WHY THE HOME PAPER?

Have you ever asked yourself why you take your home paper, Q
why it is necessary to have a home paper at all?
Do SO, and you will star a train OF thoughts that will be illuminating
to you.
The big city daily comes to you and gives you the important news
Of the outside world, but you and the home people are too small for a
place in its columns.
About its only thought of you is the money it gets from You.
it you obtain much of your knowledge of the greater affairs Of life.
But it utterly ignores you and yours.
Hence the local paper, and likewise your reason for taking the
local paper.
You cannot exist without knowledge of the affairs of your home
community.
You must know of the plans and of the work of the local authori-
ties, and you must know of the domgs of the churches, and the lodges,
and of your neighbors, and of the Community in general
You cannot obtain this knowledge from the big city paper, but you
car and do find it in the columns OF the home paper.
You buy the big city daily because you must know Oft the progress
of the world, for your mnd is developing day by day and demands TINS
greater fund of information.
But your mind Graves even a more intimate knowledge of affairs
that are vital to the interests OF you and yours, and these things you
find only in the home paper.
TO the great city paper you ar but a single pebble upon the beach,
a drifting sand Of the desert.
But to the home paper you are n OF u.s., a II important factor in
the community a force with which to be reckoned.
A disrupted and disintegrating community ear a shrnkage and
loss in property values and a stagnant public mind. Hence the home
paper has a YER watchful eye to the interests OF the community and
of yourself, for only in the preservation of the community and of your
self cal the home paper hope for a continued existence.
The home paper is YOUR FRIEND, and you know it.
you believe in the home paper and its ceaseess work for home and
home people.
Your interests and those of the home paper are identical, and you
need t quite Is much IS it needs you.
And the nan who recognizes the necessity for a community OF inter-
eTs becomes a builder, and not a destroyer.

One of the best farmers in Baxter county from the standpoint of thor ough and careful preparation of the ground and producing more than the size of the crop, is Miss Ollie Bing- ham, 14, who lives in the north part of the county, near Bald Dave noun tain. Her crop consists of approxi- mately five acres of corn and five acres of cane and is one of the best cultiyat- ed crops in that section.
 She is the daughter of n widow, and she and her mother make a living for the family. They own small place on which they make a small crop and rent other land. The land on which the girls corn crop was made this year was very rough She broke the land in the spring, planted it and has cultivated it five times. In a few days she will start to pull the fodder The crop will make from 40 to 30 bushels of corn, which is an excellent produc- tien for that section.
 The crop which was grown on the little home place also had the same careful attention and will make enough rough feed for the little bunch of stock which they own, and enough mo- lasses to supply them through the wtn- ter. Ollie is ambitious to get ahead, and has not allowed her farming ope- rations to interfere with her school work.

RESIDENTS OF WoMBLE ALLEGE THE LIST CONTAINS lLLE-
 GAL NAMES.
TO PETITION COUNTY JUDGE
The Poll Tax Receipt List as Com pIeted By County Collector Has Been Filed With State
 Treasurer.
Womble.-


 Residents of Womble have petition ed County Judge J. B. Kelly to inves- tigate and to reduce the list of county poll tax receipts. They allege the list contains illegal names enough to give Womble, with LILA votes, a ma jority for the county site removal The poll tax receipt list as completed by the county collector and filed with State Treasurer R. G. McDaniel when the settlement was made recently con- tains 2,268 names This would make it necessary for Womble to show l. 1855 votes for removal. It .s said evi- dence will be introduced to show that with the illegal names eliminated a majority voted for removal of the county seat to Womble. AS the list now stands, Womble lacks 21 votes.
 The election commissioners in ses- sion at Mount Ida canvassed the vote from 21 of the 24 townships and gave as the official count: Womble, 1,114; Mt Ida, 127 The commission did not declare the result and did not report the vote counted as total from the county. This action, it is said, was due to Commissioner John c. Middle ton, who refused to sign either a re port that Womble lost or one that the total vote was canvassed. The com missions only report was on the count from 21 of "A townships. L. L. Beavers of Mt Ida and T. J. Mason gil of the north part of the county arc the other commissioners.
