ed Mr. J. H, Lamb today from a rep
rezentative business house in Savan

which the Crisp county power amend

“Your letter of the sth received,

folks in Cordele, for the feeling that
you have towards us for the way in
which you were treated in the recont

“Cormit me to gec in ithe Boginning
that we have many folks in Savanuah
lwhu regard your city and surrounding
