The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1922-01-24
WITH GEORGIA EDITORS.

The Toccoa Record, published away up Oh!
the northern boundary OF the state, mas 1ouhu
lit out on us. 1t says:
I 1T is reported on apparently reliable att
thorty that the business men OF one OF Geor-
| gias best farming counties invested 9Z4oUOO
| in the stock of foreign oil company and
that the company went broke. 1t would be in
teresting to know how much money has been
Withdrawn from Georgia banks in this way,
money that the banks need now to loan to
the farmers to enable them to carry on nor
NAL operations on their farms or to invest IN
sweet potato curing houses or creamerles to
enable them prohtably to market their crops
Georgians must learn that the best place to
invest their spare money is in Georgia.
Editor Kelley of the Fort Gaines Georgian
inst pestered by the ancestor fad, and gives
those who are this to think about
Did it ever occur to you that the folks
! of today who will be honored ancestors
flew generations hence are not the kind OF
folks that spend much time Dragging about
the blue blood and heroic deeds OF those who
Horned trunk and main limbs OF their gen
ea1ogieal tree? Everybody can either boast
| of or plead guilty to possession OF ancestors
! OF some sort. Most OF us have all sorts. Our
own ancestry is fair sample, we fancy. Some
| OF ours really were average, everyday people;
some were, you might say, Just passable;"
others kept out of jail by moving further west
the goods. Were your dead-and-gone kinfolks
any different"
A political year, contrary to the accepted
! belief is not without its compensation in the
opinion of Editor McGill of the Worth Coun-
| ty Local. He tells why i'll the following:
Georgia and this section of the state will
have a small sprinkling of politics this year.
Already the prospective candidates are feeling
the pulse OF the voters by giving the glad
smile, the hearty handshake and anXously
inquiring about the health of the family. 1t
won't be long before they will be kissing the
babies, and sitting on the fences at the end
of the rows where the farmers drive out to
talk over the affairs Of government with
them 1t will be a good thing for our county
and state 1t will help divert the attention
of the people from hard times talk, which
never does any good or gets anybody any
thing
Editor HARDER, of the Commerce Observer
makes this bit of sound and timely obServa-
ton on the subject OF markets:
Conferences may be held and conventions
staged, but the solid fact remains: Every COM
munity must build its own market for poul-
try and farm products. Stern necessity will
force attention to these money producers;
then, the next step is for farmers to learn
Ihow to grade box, crate or can the Commodi-
ty to be sold, and be in position to guarantee
! its quality and weight. Commission merchants,
wholesale houses and jobbers do not and will
not buy products which they cannot stand
behind Nor will they handle products which
are not properly prepared for commercial
use"
It is noted that ''Moultre has also received
the glad news that the war is over" and the
Thomasville Press tells us of the result as
follows:
''Moutrie is now supplying its citizens with
light at 10 cents per kilowatt hour with
minimum charge of only 50 cents. This beats
all other south Georgia towns in price of
this very essential municipal supplied COM
modify. Moultrie works in and out of sea-
son with view to building a big city, and
Just such work as that above mentioned is
long step towards that end People looking
for new location are attracted by such in
ducements as the above"
An undesirable individual like this one the
Meter Advertiser pays its respects to is in
every community:
THE man who has nothing else to do but
stalk around and criticise institutions which
are trying to help themselves and the general
public ought to be suppressed ThoughtleSs
remarks, generally proceeding from gross ig-
norance often do harm and never do the re
marker and good"
