but she had not been in good health
for some time. The deceased was
70 years old, member of the
Primitive Baptist church and was
a most excellent woman. She is
survived by four sons, Sam Bull
ington, of Missouri; Dave, of the
Twentieth district; Walter, of

exterds to every nook and corner
Of the county, and the many words
Of praise and encouragement that
have come to US recently is re-
newed evidence that the paper is
appreciated.
The Democrat does not complain
at the patronage it receives, for it
gets its share OF the printing that
is done by the print shops in the
county. We do think, however,
that the Democrat, as we'll as the
other papers in the county, is
treated fairly by the merchants of
those towns that send their job
work out of the county. There
are three newspapers published in
Carroll county, each one of them
maintains q job Office and is pre-
pared to do comparatively gooc
job work and at reasonable prices
and in view of the fact that they
are spending their money and time
in the interest of the county they
are justly entitled to the prinins
business Of the county. There are
merchants in Carroll county wh(
complain because farmers send GU
of the county for their merchan
disc, and they have a right to thu!
complain, who send ont of TIN
county for their job printing. Th,
merchants, it seems to US. SHOULD
set better example to those wht
buy out of the county.
The printing establishments o.
/ the county are entitled to th,
printing of the county. and ii th,
business men want the enterprise
of their immediate communitie!
boosted they should show their ap
probation of the papers by turn
ing their business their way.

HOME PATRONAGE

The Carroll County Democrat
stands for Carroll county first, last
and all the time. For twenty
eight years this paper has ardently
supported every public enterprise
that has been advanced that was
good for the county as a whole or
for any part of the comfy. We
believe in home people patroniz-
ing home merchants, and as nearly
as possible keep Jour money at
home.
We have taken great pride in
seeing our towns prosper. We
have noted with interest every
movement of every town and COM
munity in the county of pro-
gressive nature. We have never
failed to boost all undertakings of
these towns and neighborhoods.
The building of new business
houses, homes, school houses or
churches, or the starting Of new
enterprises have always been pub.
lished in the Democrat with
word of praise to the promoters.
We have known no party, no COM
munity, no town and no favorites
when it comes to giving the news,
and we believe this paper has been
appreciated, for It's circulation

1900, which was $5,O09,0 900, 900.

real estate transfers than usual
showing that many farmers, who
heretofore have been tenants, are
buying lands and building homes
of their own. This is a good indi-
GATOR.
The county is growing more pro-
gressiYe along many lines. The
farm demonstration and canning
work, the interest in growing
greater varieties of crops, the dis
position to fertilize the land and
make the soil more productive, the
better care taken of stock and farm
implements, all indicate a more
healthy and prosperous condition
of the farmer.
The increased interest in the
schools of the county, the effort to
educate along practical lines, the
greater pride shown in the school
buildings and the care for same are
signs of development that will tell
for good in the future. The county
is making rapid progress in an ed
ucational way, and has some of the
very best country schools to be
found in this end of the state.
The public affairs of the county
have been so managed that the
county has no outstanding indebt-
edness. 1t never issued a bond
for any purpose. Our county,
however, would have been much
more prosperous if bonds had been
issued and good roads built a mum
Der of years ago. Our people are
slow to take hold OF improvements
of this kind, and the county will
never reach that high degree q
prosperity and conteutment, Il
which it is possible for 1T TO reach,
unit we build better roads.
If the draining OF the streams
that are being planned are success
fully carried out, much valuable
and productive land will be opened
up to cultivation, which will add
materially to the prosperity Of Tie
county.
Carroll is a good county. the soil
is reasonably productive, and with
proper care and use of our oppor-
tunities the people can make the
county as prosperous as any Of its
neighbors and more 50 than many
of them.

All other products of the farm

lieye, are exercising more economy
than usual.

Yet to finger near my treasure,
Seems to give my heart relief,
Sweet days past and gone forever,
Fond memory brings again to me;
When you were fair as any flower.

And you became my loving wife.

When the angels took you away;
And they laid you down In Pisgah.
