PAYING THE PAPER-MouI-

trie Observer The Covington
News declines to publish Grand
Jury presentments because the
fee recommended was too small
to cover the cost. Grand Jurors
were accustomed in years past to
recommend Give dollars" This
liberal amount was supposed to
set the local paper up in comfor-
table financial circumstances for
quite while, and cause the local
editor to long for the, return of
the big court.
Owing to better bookkeeping
and the higher costs OF publish
ing, this five dollars fails to give
satisfaction today. The Editor de
clines to give twenty five dollars
worth of space for five dollars.
In this county it has been a Gus
tom for a number of years to rec
commend that the papers pub<
fishing the prescntmcnts be paid
the usual sum therefore. This
leaves it up to the County Com
missioners to trade with the pub
Usher on the price.
The county is safe-guarded by
the watchfulness of the commits
sioners, and the publishers have
chance to be heard as to what
they think is a fair price for the
work. 1t would be better pol
icy for the Newton County grand
Jur es to adopt.

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT
HOME-Ihe dollar you spend at
home may again find its way in
to your pocket; the money sent
away from home is irretrcivably
gone. . More than that, dollar
turned over five times, passed
hand to hand five tlmes, is as
good as five dollars that are not
passed around. The faster a dol
lar is spent the more it is worth.
A community could stage bus
mess boom with a thousand dol
lars i'll cash if each successive DO
SCISSOR OF the cash would pass it
on. That may sound funny at
first but it is sound economic
principle. Money is only med
ium Of exchange.
The EXCHANGE makes pros
perity, not the medium. Hard
times are not result of scarce
money; they are the result of
slow cash turn over, of reluctant
buying. The trouble with this
country today is not so much that
money IS scarce, but that a man
with a dollar is afraid he can't
get another one if he turns what
he has loose.
Fitzgerald could stage a real
business boom today with not
single dollar more being brought
INTO the town, if the dollars that
are here were started passing
4 around as fast as they were a
year ago. The man who is cling
ing to a dollar for dear life would
have a chance 60 get and spend
the same dollar two or tire times
If he quit squeezing it so hard the
lady gasps for breath and the Gag
lie hasn't room enough to emit a
healthy scream.
And every dollar that leaves
Fitzgerald. i'll whatever form,
makes it just one dollar harder
to start business boom. And ev-
cry dollar that is spent in Fitz-
gerald contributes just that much
toward bringing back a healthy
condition in business.
The Athens Banner has the fol
loving to say about business con
ditions, and the success of the
Athens Banner is evidence that
Editor Hugh Rowe knows what
he is talking about when he talks
about business:
Spend 1t Here
Business conditions have been
bettered. Any merchant will
tell you that. He may not ex-
plain that it is not good, as good
as he would like to see it, but he
will not say it is lot worse than
he expected it to be.
Home buying of every article
needed would make 1t great
deal better. Athens merchants
have always. carried stocks that
are complete with the best the
market affords and have consist
emily adhered to close profit mar
gins. Can we say that Athens
people have always carefully in
vestigated the opportunities to Sc
cure their needs here, before
shopping i'll other cities?
Athens merchants are also lib
eral advertisers, and their an
nouncements have caused great
flow OF trade to come into the
city. With the present very much
improved conditions existing it is
still a very wise thing for our
people to spend as much of their
money here as they can for goods
which can be supplied over Ath-
ems counters. When you start
shopping, SPEND YOUR MON
Ely HERE.
