“FORGOTTEN TOWNS”
Georgia Weekly Review: Some-
thing of unusual interest is happen-
ing in the newspaper field at a town
not a hundred miles from Atlanta.
The town and county have been hard
hit in recent years, due to crop fail-
ures, bankruptcies, and one thing and
another; and the merchants and other
business people have never gotten
over the "scary" of the afterwar de-
pression, a “scare” that has been al-
lowed to go unchecked until it has
all but brought about complete com-
munity-wide business suicide. Of re-
cent years one enterprise after an-
other has been allowed to lag and
die out or drift away, until finally
the local newspaper—the only one
in the county—was compelled’to move
its plant to Atlanta because of an
absolute cessation of advertising pat-
ronage. The owners of the paper
continued to print it from Atlanta,
but, as would naturally happen , under
such circumstances, had no interest
in the appearance it made nor wheth-
er or not it served the interests of
the town for which it was published.
And the town in turn had no interest
in the paper. There was lost every
vestige of co-operation between the
ltical newspaper and its people. The
paper has been able to continue pub-
lication through advertising patron-
age of outside merchants. Realizing
the fertile possibilities of the situa-
tion, an enterprising newspaper man
in an adjoining county, 12 miles, be-
gan the publication of a new paper
for his neighbor county, carrying the
trade appeals of other and nearer out
side merchants into the unprotected
territory. The merchants of the
newspaperless town are making no
bid whatever for the trade. In fact,
(they would never for the world ad-
mit it) there is every evidence to sup
port the belief that while these
“prideful” newspaperless merchants
jealously watch one another, the out-
side advertiser is walking away with
the cream of their trade. Here is the
unparalleled situation of two news-
papers for one county being published
outside the county and supported by
outside merchants. If the situation
is allowed to continue a child can pre-
dict with every degree of certainty
what will eventually happen-—Georgia
has several "forgotten towns”. Will
the situation Lcontinue ? It probably
will. The fact that the business men
allowed their newspaper to sicken and
shrivel and finally move away is evi-
dence that the deadliest of all com-
munity ills—lack of public spirit—
has gained firm hold. The disease is
further indicated always by a dis-
position to be completely self-satis-
fied and the belief on the part of the
merchants that “everybody knows
me”. Other towns in Georgia are
giving some indication of a drift in
the direction this town has taken.
Here certainly is an object lesson for
them.

The Lone Climber
A young man traveling the road of
life,
Alone, and unaided had climbed to
a place
Where - the trail grew dim and the
way was blocked
By a jagged cliff that he had to
face;
It was far too steep for a man to
climb
And the road around was thorny
and rough,
But the young man tackled the task
with a will
Because he believed he was strong
enough.

But always he thought of the time
to come
When he’d stand at the top and
smiling down,
Be proud of the place where he
started from.
With passing days his hair grew
white,
He was bruised and sore as
neared the crest—
Then at last with the dusk and the
coming night v.'
He topped the hill, where he stopped
to rest.

If thirty men will go to the Metho-
dist Sunday school, 25 to the Baptist
Sunday school, 26 apiece for the two
Christian churches, there will be a
few things take place in this little old
town and in the surrounding territory
that will wake people up to some
things. God said “Try me, and see
if I will not open the windows of
heaven and pour you out a blessing”.
This town has never tried God! And
until we do, we mustn’t expect great
blessings. We can all find time for
business, fishing, vacations, family re
unions, baseball and so on; some of
are married to our business and can’t
find time for anything else. Then in
what respect do we think God owes
us anything if we refuse to give Him
as much as one hour in seven days ?
Let’s all meet each other at Sunday
school at 9:56 a. m.
A man remarked to us the other
day that the other fellow is always
the party who made the wrong drive.
a course of training. If the course
in voice culture is a success, we shall
demand that two or three cats in our
neighborhood be given instruction in
voice at once. The way these cats
talk to each other is awful.
Wylie Herald: A country newspa-
per more often gets "cussed” for not
having anything in it and sometimes
it does look like it is falling down on
itts job, but many times it omits
good news for the sake of someone’s
feelings. In that case it should be
given credit for being considerate,
even if shy on news. Sometimes we
wonder if the method of Chas. Shel-
don was not good, telling the truth
as he saw it, even though his news-
paper was not popular.
We are compelled to make this re-
mark: we shall refuse to publish any
article not written plainly, and those
coming in after the usual closing
time. This we arc led to do because
of the practice of some to withhold
reports and write-ups until after the
time announced as closing time, and
it must be understood that we cannot
delay our publication because of the
negligence of one or two. Events of
Friday, Saturday, Sunday and oMn-
day surely can be written before the
following Wednesday; in fact, it us-
ually takes about ten minutes to fix
up most of the reports.
The following members of the M.
E. Missionary Society of this place

ing of the Society which was held in

Miller Rev. Porter. The meeting
wap highly enjoyed and profitable to
those in attendance. The talks were
good and especially the talk made by
the delegate from Old Mexico—a na-
tive of that country—was very much
appreciated.
Frisco was granted the Jubilee
meeting in October. The Society is
to meet next Monday at 3 o’clock.
E. W. Sonntag fell off a wogan
of wood Saturday when one of the

wheels passed over both of his ankles

swollen ankles. He was able to be in
attendance at Sunday school.

Millions of
Model T Fords
are still in
active service
FOR nearly twenty years, the Model T Ford led the motor
industry and it still is used by more people than any other
automobile. More than eight million Model T Fords are in
active service today—an indication of their sturdy worth,
reliability and economy.
Because of the tremendous investment which people
have in these cars and because so many of them will be
driven for two, three, and even five more years, the Ford
Motor Company will continue to make replacement parts
until, as Henry Ford himself says, "the last Model T is
off the road.”
For the Ford Motor Company has always believed that
its full duty consists not only in making a good automobile
at a low price, but also in keeping it running efficiently for
you as long as possible at a minimum of expense.
No matter where you live, therefore, you can still buy
Model T Ford parts with the same assurance as formerly,
knowing that they will give you the kind of service you
have a right to expect; and at the same time protect the
money you have invested in your car.
All Ford replacement parts, as you may know, are made
of the same materials and in the same way as those from
which your car was originally assembled, and are low in
price because of the established Ford policy.
So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T
Ford over the longest period of time, we suggest that you
take the car to the nearest Ford dealer and have him esti-
mate on the cost of any replacement parts which may be
necessary. You may find that a very small expenditure
will maintain the value of your car and will b^, the m»a*if.
pf giving you thousands of miles of additional service.
