ARE YOU DOING
YOUR PART.

Does town and community make
a paper, or does a paper make a
town and community
AS we see it., the making is not
one-sded. Each is necessary to the
other, A good paper cannot be
published in u town or community
that does not support it unless it
can get a portion of its support from
outside territory, though any com.
munity can count on having its
editor give the best paper that the
support 1t affords will permit. His
pride will guarantee this.
A good paper is the best possible
advertisement Of a town. 1t is taken
for granted that it could not be good
if the people of its community were
not progressive. Thus it comes
about that q town and community
that supports its paper, in turn is
pushed toward by it.
VIII you not lend us your sport
in making the Journal a success to
the betterment of your neighbors
and our condition?

STAND BY YOUR TOWN.

The best way to build up a town
is to stand by every man in the
place who does right. Whenever a
man is doing well. do not tear him
down. All residents should be
partners, not opponents. In All
avenues of livelihood the more bust
ness your rival gets, the more you
will do. Every business man who
treats his customers honestly, court
eously and fairly will get his share,
and The more business that can he
secured by united efforts, the better
it Will he for all. When a to~ II
ceases to grow it beginning to die, and
the mere people who try to kill each
others business in their town, the
more readily utter ruin comes to ALL
Stand together for the advance
ment of every business and every
citizen. If man shows ability to
pro per d. not, through jealousy,
pull him back or weight him down
through cold Indifference.

munity to put on clean up cam

Circus Season is Open.

And now comes the season of the
circus and it wont tie long till the
awarty lads and the buxom lassies
will be gazing in wonder at the
miraculously and marvelously clad
equestriennes as they perform the
wonderful feats aback the bespangled
horses as they cavort around the
saw-dust ring. How their eyes will
bulge with animation as they gaze
on the dare-devils who defy death
in the cages while they taunt the
terrific tigers Of the jungle.
But they won't have a darned
thing on their dads and mothers,
for just behind them, gazing over
their shoulders they to will peer in
eager anticipation of the coming Of
Tie big tent and procession, and
their minds will wander back over
the pag7s Of memory and they will
in retrospect hear the side-show
speelers, iostle among the merry
throng and taste the red lemonade
and popcorn balls as in their youth
when probably love with them was
young
Who does not love the circus, and
who, through its coming and visit
thereto is not made gladder, young
er and more fit for the trials of life?

OUR LOCAL
BASE BALL.

While the season is fast ripenlng
for the base ballist to get busy as a
bumbe-bee in n new-blown holly
hook, and while in many localities
the lovers of this clean and unlyer-
sally American sport, have mistaken
the departure of robins for the
equincctial advent Of the warmer
glow Of the sun and have thus taken
time by the fore-lock and plunged
bodily and heartily into the practice,
the Leesburg boys are a little
slow or perhaps more discreet, and
have but now begun their practice
work on the field, which in short
time promises the lovers OF good
and snappy ball somewhere to go
and something worth while to talk
about.
Several games have been shedul-
ed to be played at an early date.
Go out and see the boys play
these games; they should receive
the encouragement Of the whole town
and community. They are the boys
Of today but will be the men on the
morrow, as parlance goes, and their
agility and athletic development
thus acquired will better fit them
for the sterner duties to which they
will fall heir.

WOMENs CLUBS,

We heard man say, the other
day, that he wished there were some
wav to abolish women's clubs, that
a woman's place was at home, etc.
That man il brute. He married
to get a servant, a slave, piece OF
property, not partner compan-
ion or better half to make his life
more enjoyable by sharing his sor-
rows, cheering his joys and inspiring
him to higher plans OF living. lie
thinks of his wife as he does his
horse or COW, or probably his Ford
car, .1nereIy as a possession to help
him along the way Of easy living
and probable wealth. He does not
realize that his wife has as many
rights social and moral, as he has.
He does not need a club, because he
is On the street and in the mart every
day, seeing people, fraternizing
with them, while hiswife is at home
and at work in the home, making it
for him the most blessed place to
abide.
We do not think wife should devote
her time to club work to the detrl-
ment of the sacredness Of home, nor
to the point Of allowing her husband
to wear buttonless clothes and socks
without heels and toeg, though we
do think that the woman, be she
mother and wife or spinister, should
be allowed those privileges
and be insisted upon to take them
az a duty, ii necessary, to carry her
into the inner workings Of social,
educational and charitable work
such as is accomplished by and
through their several club organiza-
tons.
If the average husband would do
all of the work at home that should
be done by him and not leave a
large part OF the drudgery to his
wife she would be able to make
home what it should be and have
ample time to attend club meetings
too.
Every woman should get out,
now and then and no man with a
soul uncaloused through neglect OF
I her will require his wife to stick at
home like leach to sloth.
Women's work is being seen from
different viewpoint, altogether, to
what it was a decade ago and the
force of their organizations and &C
compIishment is being felt most per.
ceptibly in better world and q
purer and more moral atmosphere.
We not only say let the women
have their clubs but we say encour-
age them in their work, which is a
revelation unto those men who will
but open unprecedented eyes and gaze
upon it.

SERIOUS CHARGE |
FOR B0OTLEGGERS.
Judge Would Have the Charge.
of Conspiracy to Break Law
Lodged Against Violators..

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE Fed
era1 grand jury assembled in Savan-
nah this morning to pass on cases of
defendants charged with civil or
federal statues. The grand jury will
dispose of matters which have accu-
mulated since the last term.
In charging the grand jury Judge
Beverly Evans said, 'It seems in
some localities there is a highly or
ganized body of men engaged in the
liquor traffic. The national prohibi-
tion act places comparatively small
penalties for the first violation of
the act. 1t seems to be plain the men
who finance the sale stay behind the
scene and act through irresponsible
persons who are willing to run the
risk of conviction and in case fines
are imposed have them paid for
them. This condition may be met by
treating such schemes as conspiracy
to violate the prohibition act and
they may be indicted as conspiracy
to violate law of the United States"
