AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 26, 1915
BUT, THEY HANG ON
This isn’t the season when newspapers are making money with
-which to pay dividends. There are mighty few in this part of the state
that havve made any real money in six months, but there isn’t a one of
thte-m that is grouchy or cheerless or pessimistic; they are the real op
timists and they deserve the proper credit therefore —Thomasville Times-
Bnterprisie.
The Enterprise is correct when it says the newspapers are the real
optimists. They smile and predict bright days when there is nothing in
sight to thie average man but the darkest cloud's. They are truly the pro
phets of sunshine, prosperity and happiness. The newspaper may not
(have a dollar in the bank to meet the weekly .payroll, but it smiles all the
same. After spending the day at hard work trying to do something for
his town and community, the editor leaves his desk at evening and starts
home for a night’s rest only to be criticised by about half the people that
he may meet for something that did or did not appear in his paper. Mer
chants who have spent $4 for advertising, expxecting to get S4OO worth of
business look upon him with suspicion and secretly half-way accuse him
of running a “skin game” Once in a while some good fellow tells him
his paper is a fine paper and doing good work, but the roses sometimes
seem few, as compared with the thorns. But after all, “aren’t the rosea
sweet?”—Wayeross Journal-Herald.
The Times-Recorder has been preaching for years that it pays to
“Buy at Home,” and now comes an experience of a Florida woman to
prove it. A lady en route from Madison, Fla., to Atlanta to do her shop
ping, was robbed of $l5O while on a train near Macon. Had she purchased
her spring attire at home she would not have been in danger of being
robbed, and besides would no doubt have obtained better values at home
than in Atlanta, but probably the Madison merchants are like some of
those in Americus, and do not adve rtise —therefore the trade doesn’t
know what nice tilings they are offering.
Czar Nick has certainly made himself feit in the European war. But
for the Russian army it’s more than likely that the Kaiser might even
now be safely in Paris.
Between keeping the dove of peace pacified and throwing scares into
old John Barleycorn it may be said that the Hon. Bill Bryant is a rather
busy man these days.
It may be true that the life of the 15-inch naval gun is short, but not
as short as the life of the things its shells hit.
The tailors in convention assembled agreed that the perfect man
should be 34 inches around the waist. What he should measure around the
head is, of course, a matter of speculation.
The fortified hills along the Dardanelles ought to prove to he valuable
scrap iron mines after the allied fleet has completed its bombardment, and
no doubt digging the metal out of the landscape will become a flourishing
Industry when the war is over.
It is said that Russia has spent $100,000,000 in this country for war
supplies but of that sum $20,000,000 were spent for lessons in buying. In
other words it cost Russia sls each 'or shraprnel shells which were worth
only $6, and there is reason to fear :hat when the war is over American
business will be known in Europe by the firm nan;? of Cheate, Grafft, Swin
del & Company.
Our idea of nothing to worry about is the lack of rhubarb pies report
ed in certain sections of the West. If there is anything in this world that
the human family can get along without it is the rhubarb pie.
Italy may get into the war in spite of tho efforts of King Victor Em
manuel and his ministers to maintain a neutral attitude. But if she goes
into the maelstrom we fear the patriotic Dagoes in this country will shove
up the price of bananas and peanuts in order to fatten the war fund of
their native land.
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young says Chicago women will generally vote for
Sweftzer for mayor. This shows that so far as the fair sex of that city is
concerned Sweitzer is the cheese.
At this solemn moment the Hon. Ted Roosevelt with one hand to his
ear and an earnest look on his fate is waiting to hear somebody mention
hiui for the Republican presidential nomination in 1916.
