stands so strikingly developed. What 1t

ing and for broad-based prosperity in the

suggestion for the whole commonwealth.
What it has done for the business interests
of its immediate vicinity is a record Of

rural and urban progress alike is to be
measured only by the power of productive
enterprise and creative example.
The citizens of Ashburn and Of Turner
county who pioneered the creamery that

to be congratulated. Theirs is the spirit of
which community growth is made and from
which the widest prosperity of Georgia will
be harvested.

GOOD WILL
BY DR.. Frank Crane

Many people regard the goodwill of a
concern as more or less an airy nothing. They
are inclined to smile at it.
Looked at one way, 1t seems quite tenucus.
Over century ago Lord Eldon defined good
will as the probability that the old custom
ers would resort to the old place"
In the practical business world, however,
this mere tendency of mind is of immense
and solid value.
Millions of money have been spent for
Sheffield cutlery, for Delft pottery, for Ven
ice glass, for Paris fashions, for Gobelln tap
estry and for Cremona violns, money which
was drawn to these goods simply because OF
goodwill.
Goodwill may be intangible and invisible,
but so is electricity. And electricity is very
powerful.
What is known as "watered stock" has in
many instances been nothing but goodwill.
And this was SO powerful tEat the profits
accumulated squeezed out the water, and the
public has eventually bought the stocks at a
price many times the value of that originally
represented by the visible assets.
All business is built on service, and good
will representing public opinion of that serv-
ice comes near to being the foundation OF
business.
Great fortunes are built up on goodwill
which is fed by proper advertising.
In times past monopoly was supposed to
be the basis of great merchandising success.
In the modern world, however, monopoly is
becoming more and more difficult, If it is not
becoming impossible. In other words, good
will is eating up monopoly.
Goodwill recognizes the public as the final
arbiter. 1t makes a mans success rest not
upon a patent right or a government privi-
lege but upon the favor of the people.
Instead of this foundation being a shift
ing or an uncertain one, it's solidity will be
made plain to you if you will step into the
next shop and inquire what goods have the
greatest sale. You will find that it is those
goods which rest upon strong and vigorous
goodwill which has been built up by persis-
tent and judicious advertising.
For instead of being a by-product Of mod
ern business, advertising is it's very basis

1T ALWAYS GOES
BY BERTON BRALEY


" Philosopher. sinner and saint,
May roundly declare that they
amt
A bit affected by words directed
To giving them some acclaim,
But nevertheless you'll find
With people of every kind
A bit of chattery,
Gentle flattery
Pleases them just the same.
v T always is wise to have
A certain amount of salve
Il To use whenever
You may endeavor
To register dulcet charm;
For, as you will ascertain,
All mortals are slightly vain
A bit of chattery,
Pleasant flattery
Never does any harm.
IN HEY may not accept in full
The oleo that you pull,
- But, boy, you said it,
They'll give you credit
For having a lot of sense!
Don't spread on the salve too thick,
little will do the trick,
A bit of chattery,
Gentle flattery
Pleases the DANES and gents.

Railroad Carnival of Fraud


In the above table of bonds appear $780,
600 of the cambridge, Cuthbert and Co.
lumbus railroad bonds which had been en-
dorsed, yet not one mile of the road was
ever constructed. In the case of the Car
tersville and Van Vert railroad, $275,000,
and the Cherokee railroad, $500, 900, they
were one and the same railroad the state
endorsed two sets of bonds When $275,-
600 of bonds had been issued and endorsed
for the Gainesville and Van Vert the name
of the road was changed to the Cherokee
and 100000 additional bonds were issued
and endorsed, and this, too, when only
three and a half miles were completed.
I have already referred to the Albany and
Brunswick railroad, but the additional state
ment can be made that for $1,125,O0O Of
the bonds of that company there was no
road completed, and as there was a debt
of 100000 against the corporation an
authority says there was doubt as to
whether any of the endorsed bonds of
$3.50. 900 had been rightfully applied
The first sittings of the bond investtga-
ton committee were had in Atlanta, COM
mencing March 1, 1872, and holding until
May i, 1872 Then the committee visited
New York city and conducted extended ses-
sions there. Numerous dispositions were
taken in Europe. where many bonds were
owned, principally railroad bonds, believe.

Complete Links Of Sixty Mile Boulevard Through Jefferson To St. Clair

Both the city commissioners and the county board of revenue moved definitely Tuesday toward insurng an early start on the widening and paving of First avenue between Forty-first and Forty-seventh streets.
 The revenue board voted to accept the contract submitted by the city, subject to the condition that paving between the car tracks be done by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company; while the city com mission, in regular session. gave its full approval to the project and au- thoriZed President D. l.. McLendoa to sign the contract with the county board on behalf of the city govern ment.
 Start on the work early next year was in prospect as a result of this joint action. The motion pledgine county cooperation was introduced bv T. F. Huey, who was largely re- sponsible for the proposal on the part of the city. The city is to pay all expenses incident to widening this street to 70 feet and will construct all necessary gutters and curbs on condition that the county pave up to IS inches of the car tracks. All other paving Is to be done by the street car company, according to an amend ment introduced by Mir. Huey, which it is thought the city officials will accept, although no official action has yet been taken. If the Blrmins- ham Railway, Light and Power com pany agrees to this plan. the contract will be awarded January 2. 1924, and work will begin ediately there after
 First avenue will be closed and
