We iad a nice news article from Prentiss this week but the writer failed to sign the article. Therefore we cannot print it. As stated before tne Press will not publish the names oi correspondents without their con sent. However for our own protec tion all Utters, .articles, etc, must be iign d. ; ' 4Th'. people living up tht rialroad mibl do well to investigate the mat ter of building a power line and using cheap power from Franklin's dam. Nearly every farm in Cleveland coun ty is lighted by electricity. Macon county has a similar opportunity., .. wi t i r . ' rranKiins ruture Within the past month there have been many evidences of : JFraniklins future growth. ,.Of course a few proj ects of importance were started some months ago and Franklin is just nbw beginning to realize what these 'proj ects mean to the future of the town and county. Among these is the con- fic from Franklin to the Georgia line last Tuesday. Even though. the link of the , 'Ashevflle-Franklin-Atlanta highway through Rabun and Haber sham counties is not complete a great increase in .the tourist travel is noticeable here by reason oi the concrete road to the Georgia line. . But undoubtedly the most impor tant project now under way in this vicinity is Franklin's municipal power dam, worK on tnis aam wnicn ai full capacity will produce 2250 horse power began April 3rd and the con tract called for is completion' by March 1, 1926. The contractors are nowof the opinion that the current -eenerated bv'bur municipal dam will be available for use by' October 15th. As the dam nears completion the lands adjacent to the lake are in creasing in value. The Lake Emory holdings on the east shore of the lake have been surveyed and. staked off into building lots. These lots are now being sold with great rapidity and at a good price. The. Lake Eb ory Company owns 500 acres adjoin ing the lake less the many lots which have been sold within the past two weeks. '.'.-' 'A local development company re cently bought the Franks holdings pf 60 acres on Rabbit Creek. These holdings are also adjacent to an arm of the lake which will extend up Rabbit Creek almost to Jthe bridge on the Franklin-Dillsboro highwiy. This company will develop and place hs holdings, on ial'e in. the near fu ture. : . -: , Real 1 estate men of Florida and Georgia whb appreciate the trend of events in Franklin are arriving al most, daily with a view to investing in town and lake properties -.Two contractors are now pouring concrete on the road from Frank Jin to Dillsboro. Within a year,:or less time this road; wjJl be finished. Franklin will then be jiear the center.' 6f a,concrete road 36 miles in length. "More than 200: men, including sev enty five convicts, are now engaged iti making a macadam road from Franklin to Bryson City. The Ma con County Commissioners wide awiike, broad minded men, and ev ery1 one of. them a good roads enthu siast, have about completed .rrahge meuts wheeby work will sowtart on highway No. 28, both towards Highlands and towards Hayesville. Within the past few months there have been five big auction sales of Franklin real estate. Hundreds of eager investors- attended these sales and bought lots. New residences aig goin up all over town and -still the cry is for more houses. ' , All these projects tend toward op timism. In fact Franklinis now com ing into its own. It appears that nothing less than; a calamity can stop Ihe. growth of our' little town. ; Re gardless '.oi the claims of other town? and cities a glance at the map will snow- ttiat rankJjn is the real gate way from the south to the mountains of Western North Carolina.

"; Today The Press inaugurates a new advertising service one which the publisher believes will not enly help him in the' way of 'building-. up a more profitable business but one which will prove also of ircat value to every business man in franklin and to the general public as well. ' . In the business life of every community the interests of each- in dividual are more or less interwoven with the interests. "of the c.oin nmnity as a whole. The .man without capital has a better chance to succeed in a live, prosperous town than he can possibly have in a dead, unprogrcssive town and by the same token the modrcn, up-to-date busines man can achieve greater success in a community where the people who patronize him have money to spend and where they know that they can get what they want when they want it at prices and on terms equally satisfactory with those they can secure in any other town' or city in the country. In order that the people shall know these-things, however', some means must be provided for the business men to get the information to them and that newspapers are the best medium for the purpose has been so frequently and so thr- , oughly demonstrated by the most 'successful business institutions in the country as to permit of no argument. In comjjjon with other lines of commercial activity the advertising business has been developed within the last few years into a system that closely approaches a science. Experts, men who by years of experience and study have demonstrated that they are qualified to produce advertising ideas that will get results for the business men who employ, them, are, in a way, directing the' advertising business of the entire country and their knowledge and the results of their experience are now available to every progressive newspaper in the country and through them to every advertiser. Under its present management the policy of The Preset has been, and will continue to be, that of SERVICE to the community that supports it and in keeping with this policy the paper has secured an advertising "sales service" from Bonnet-Brown of Chicago,, one of the very foremost concerns in that line in the United Spates. Through the use of this service The Press is able to place at the disposal of its advertising patrons the very latest developments in advertising cuts,, borders, ideas and suggestions. The service does not mean any "hand-me-down" "ready to run"- advertisements such as some ad writers sell to business men at big prices, but it offers up-to-the-minute cuts,' i suitable' for prctically every line of business, borders and designs . which feature almost any article the merchant may wish' to offer at that particular tunc, and advertising ideas and suggestions of value to tvery man who vants zn attractive, business-getting d. The 'service tomes 'or, every month, that for August k ikhv on Me at. The Press office and advertisers are invited to all at their . earliest convenience, look them over, and make selections. Don't wait for our advertising man to call. We are pretty busy and he may be, delayed. , ' If the old fashioned, sloppy, change-once-every-few months method o'f advertising without cuts or other attractive features paid, certainly ' a modern, attractive up-to-the-minute system such as we are now able . to offer you AT. THE SAME PRICE will pay you better. Think it over and then come in and look our proofs over and try .out this better way of advertising. The Boy Scouts . v . A town without a Boy Scout troop is in a bad way. Fraliklin knows this from experience. Until the recent organization of the local scolcrttroop Franklin never dreamed of tne niany ways in which a scout troop can help. The motto of the Boy Scouts is, "A good turn every day," and, Franklin Scouts are living up to their mptto. Rev E. J. Pipes the scout master, states that the engenuity of the boys in making opportunities for "a good turn" is remarkable. During the Truett-McConnell meet inp the Boy Souts will conduct strangers from the headquarters of the committee on hospitality to the rooms and homes assigned the strang ers for their stay in Franklin. That the Scouts will justify the responsi bility thus imposed upon them no one doubts. ., ., A Scout in taking the oath agrees to keep' himself "physically strong mentally awake and morally straight." These few words, it seems to us, in clude the sum and substance of mak ing a MAN. The citizens are co-operating in making our local Scout troop a suc cessful, organization. Miss Olive Patton has granted to the boys the use of her lake at Camp Taukeetah for swimming lessons. Mr. R. A. Patton has offered the use of a site for a camp cabin; and when the ' time comes to build that cabin Frankfin will gladly give the neces sary funds. In building a cabin for the Scouts the, parents realize that they are building character in their sons, making them physically strongl and mntally awake. Franklin is proud of its Boy Scouts arfd glad of the opportunity which the ScpUt training gives them in the making of men. -. , ' , Commissioner , R. A.
