Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1920-06-22

In ABOUT month editors from all
over the state will be packing their
toothbrushes and paper collars and
heading for Carrollton, to attend the
| annual session Of the. Georgia Press
association. Carrollton is planning
the time of their lives for the Geor-
gia editors, but Carrollton will have
to excuse us if our thoughts turn oc-
casionally back to Monroe, where we
were so splendidly entertained last
year.-Cobb County Times.
While it is generally conceded that
the Monroe meeting was the most
profitable and pleasant in the history
of the association, there is no reason
why the Carrollton session should
not be just as good.
Mr.. Bryan probably encountered a
brand-new sensation at the Chicago
convention. We refer to his deliber-
ately going to a session of national
politicians without having some gid
dy person nominate him.-Duluth Tri-
bune.
It's the letter I'll" again for the
Republicans. Harrison was beaten
by Cleveland, Hughes by Wilson and
Harding? The man to beat him will
be named at San Francisco.-Savan-

Lavonia needs at least half dozen
new business houses. Who will be
patriotic enough to help supply this
demand? Yes, and twenty dwellings
could be rented before September 1.
Somebody get busy and help the
town grow by erecting some build
Editor Rush Burton has supple
mented this advice by purchasing
the Lavonia hotel and may decide
to build a few blocks of business
houses and dwellings when the fall
advertising business opens up.
This is mighty good time for
our people to begin to talk more
about hog and hominy. The intox4-
cation from bumper crop and high
priced cotton is not going to last
always and it is q mighty good time
plant food crops.-Lavonia Times
and Gauge.
Mighty good advice form expert
authority. Plant food crops and reap
something to eat.
If the country press is swallowed
UP by twenty -five-cent paper and
other high costs, it will set back
rural America fifty years. Think of
plotting out the schools, the churches,
the rural routes, the telephones, and
you can imagine what would happen
If the weekly newspapers are crush
ed by the profiteers. 1t is the duty
of every reader and every business
man to throw his loyal support be-
hind his home paper in the present
Crisis:-Jackson Progress-Argus.
Editor Doyle Jones did not over
press in the above. paragraph. A
newspaper is the principal asset of
any town, especially If it is one Of
those 100 per cent publications like
the Progress-Argus.
In this issue of the News we re-
produce a very complimentary arti-
Gle regarding the weekly newspapers
of Georgia, taken from that bright
afternoon daily, The Atlanta Journal,
the Georgia weeklies in this editorial,
we are trying to live UP to, as our
trends will surely testify.-Walton
News.
1t was such weekly newspapers as
that published by Editor E; A; Cald-
that suggested the editorial.
If the good friends of the News
who haven't even shown US dollar
since last. year, will only call and
renew their subscriptions, we might
t tax more about going to the press
the first to come and bring or send
the "mon?"-Walton News.
AS Editor Ca1dwell's absence would
be a great disappointment to his
many friends, here's hoping that his
IS. o. S." will receive an immediate
and liberal response.
The noisiest political farmer has
the tallest weeds in his cornfield |
and the fewest potatoes in his hills
Dawson County Advertiser.
Talk makes an excellent fertilizer |
for weeds and grass.
After seeing a hog on the Elm |
wood stock farm place worth $4,000 !
and at the same time investigating |
our immediate pecuniary resources |
We figure were a pretty worthless |
cusS anyWay.-W. E. R., in the Dub |
lin Tribune.
Perhaps you have a brighter fu-
ture than the hog, which should |
mean something on account.
We do not believe the Chicago
platform caused last Mondays ad-
vance of cent gallon in the price
OF gasoline. There's nothing in the
platform that's strong enough TO
lift a gallon of gasoline.-Albany
Herald.
Don't have to lift the price, man,
it scars like the larks of Scotland
There are certain streets in At !
