Next Tuesday, November 4th. there will be an electiou in Hous ton, as well as throughout Geor gia and all other states of the union, for Representative in the 58th cougress. . It is the earnest desire of our nominee and other leading demo crats .that a large vote.be polled. The papers for holding the elec tion and the tickets have ^beeu sent to the preoincts, and the size of the total vote depends entirely upon the interest manifested by the people. Voting is a duty, and in this instance it is no less binding be cause there is no opposition to Mr. Lewis in the election. The preoincts are so situated that, no voter will be obliged to go furth er than about five miles. Three timeB Mr. Lewis has been elected to represent the third dis trict of Georgia in the federal congress, and the fourth election is now upon ub. This certainly is evidence that his service has been satisfactory, and surely we should show our appreciation by some thing in the neighborhood of a full vote. Under similar circumstances the lamented Crisp, then our honored Representative, was sub ject to mortification in congress because of the very light vote by whioh he was elected. The re publicans claimed that the light vote was an evidence of suppres sion, or fraud of some kind, and insisted that Mr. Crisp was not entitled to a seat in congress. Let us not put this humiliation upon Mr. Lewis. Going to the polls next Tues day will not involve any materi al sacrifice, and only a "few hours of time. The expense of a large vote will not be greater than a small vote. The managers and clerks of each precinct are paid per diem, and the size of the vote at the several precincts will not have any effect upon the amount to be paid. Over fourteen hundred Houston democrats are entitled to vote— all who registered for the pri mary—and at least 1.000 of these should cast their ballots next Tuesday. Let each of us determine to ex ercise the privilege and duty of voting, and we will be proud of the vote, and the party will be benefited. In The County Court. Four criminal cases were tried County Court last Wednesday. Three were convicted and one re leased. Wes Moore was tried for larce ny from the house, adjudged guil ty and sentenced to 12 months in the chain gang. . Andrew Hall—simple larency— convicted “and sentenced to the chain gang for 12 months. Steve Allen—assault and bat tery-adjudged guilty and sen tenced to pay a fine of $20, or serve 6 months in the chain gang. He paid the fine. Sol Woodard was charged with simple larency—stealing sugar cane from the farm of another negro— adjudged not guilty and released. A Scotch verdict might have been appropriate in this case — guilty but not proven. County court will be in session again next Monday. - —The interior of the Perry post office has been considerably changed, making the situation more convenient for the post master. The mail boxes, former- merly across the rear portion of the room, have been moved to the front, just to the right of the door. 559 Cherry.

There have been sev eral suoh fairs in Houston; all have been good, and good results have directly followed each. In Jones county three successive an nual fiijirs have been held, and the farmers there say that the benefits are plainly in evidence. A mord progressive system of ag riculture is displacing old meth ods, the productiveness of the soil is being increased, crops di- versfiied, and the price of farm lands going up. We suggest that a number of Houston farmers get together at once and arrange the .foundation for a county fair in the fall of 1908. . . — From all sections of the coun ty we reoeive information that the acreage devoted to oats and wheat this season will be largely increased. Wherever conditions of the weather and of harvesting work have been favorable, con siderable planting has already been done.
