OLD TIMER WRITES OF HIS RECENT VISIT TO FT. VALLEY Uncle Hcz Hankins Writes Very I merest inn Letter to the Paper—Good Funner Likes the Progressive Gity and Its Live Men Imnts. and Praises It as a Produce and General Market (.enter. Peer Eddytur: By gosh I didn’t know Fort Valley wuz' such a Lizzy little town, hut I can tell you she's all right and a plum Me and Lize and the kids had been aworking hard all summer am 1 fall and got together sev’ral bales of cot¬ ton an’ a bunch of country produce an other stuff what we had to sell. So Liza sez to me one nitc we mite as well sell the things rite now and get ’em of’en our minds. We had been a readin’ along bout the markets an from what we could get bv word of mouth and thru the local paper we decided that Fort Val kv wuz about the best market in reach and Liza decided she alus does the decidcn for the family case she’s deecidedly the better half, as how I’d better hitch up ole Beck an Judge to wc'un horseless kerridge an drive a few loads or ruther pull a few lodes —oh no, I, mean drive the mules an Jet them pull a few lodes ov produce an cotton to Fort Valley an sell at once. Wall, we had to pass threw an other town or 2 an all them thare store merchants run Out an tried to glop Beck an Judge sose we'd traid in them thare towns, but we jist ast the price of cotton an produce an come on. An so we driv on again till we driv up to Fort Valley. I got $275 and some odd sense for my produce and cotton an ns 1 knew Liza’d Want ter know where all the money went to—I make all my fi nancial reports to my ole woman—I thought I'd better put them green backs into the Citizens hank and draw checks as I traded with the merchants. Liza sed she seed in the bank add as to how a check was good as a receipt and the Citizens bank was strong enough to hold my three hundred and •everal more hundred besides. I went around and turned it over to Mr. Shirley one of them clever cashiers in there and he shoved it inter a big sack they hed to keep change in dur ing the day. I wuz feelin' purty good over 1he prices I got for my cotton an’ prod uce an’ as I nachly felt like buyin’ somethin in Fort Valley I wont round to the A. & P. store. Bein as how Liza alters wants biscuits fer brekfast an a leetle short sweetnin for her cof¬ fee, I bot a sack ov there famis A. & P. which they sell. I took sum ov them good canned goods an sum Sun nyfield Skinless bacon and sum New York State cheese and sum of that honest to goodness ole time Red Cir¬ cle coffee, very best ground. This and a dollars wurth uv sugar nn a mity big one it was, got me kinder started and when I wound up I had to give Mr. Durden a check for $20 to squar off. Sim spied sum iso cream conns in at Copeland’s Drug Store an jest hed to stop nn git one. They're a big sody water contraption in front thar whor a feller kin git nil kinds uv sett drinks and sides that the Copeland’s Drug Store carrys jis a lot uv good sniellin’ artikles for the wimmin folks toilet to say nothin uv comes an breshes and face whitenin an can dies an stationery an fountain pens and inck an pineels. Everybody in thar is polite as a baskit of chips an they alius sells everthing a little less, Thers a plenty of fisics in thet store to fill eny kind uv doctors perskrip tion an them boys knows how, cans theys reglar registered pharmacists, Them there ortymobiles shore do luk swell and run orful fast. Sim an me was past by scads uv em on our way to town but we conght up agin with one uv of em a short ways outa town stuck in a hole. We pulled the feller but an then he couldn't git the blamed thing started. So we jest drug him to Williams & Evans Garage. Bless Pete, them boys jest tickled its rig* a little an titened up sum curly cues here an there an then twisted its tail with a hard yank an blim the contrary thing humped up an begun to rattel natchel like an the fellers -eves jest luffed when they tole im what the charges wuz. Williams & Evans gives quick wrecker service, too, an handles auto accessories an car parts. Feller tried to git funny as 1 past him whislin “Why Don't Ye Git Yore , Hair r .

Them boys in thar sure do no barberin from the word go an they ' done sich a nice on my head I jest says to myself I’ll git my whisk ers tuk off an see if the ole woman knows me when I get hack home. Shucks alive 1 didn’t hardly know my ,,wn M ' lf wtlt ' n 1 luk<,<1 ln lh,> K ,ass ' Gee but they wuz a lotta gals in thar getlin there hair bobbed an the ole lady wuz powerful jealous when I told er about seein all them thare K«od lookin gals. As I’tl jist had my whiskers took off I natchelly wanted to have my “shadow snatched,” so me an Kim had » dozen of them thar cabinet size pho togrufts made at the Rembrandt Studio, for to send round to kin folks. Cost me only a few “bones” and the gal* «t home has decided them to swell go down lug j thar an have sum uv fotos made to send to ther jewlarkies an when we have our family reun.on next month we gonna go down and hev Mrs. Tomanck take our picture an frame em up in sum of them pur ty style 12 to 20 frames she . , s go . . Pound she also develops codack fil jlunins in good shape, and her charges air very moderate, too. ! Me 1 an Sim kinder begun to feel a ■lectio empty in the craw bout twelve 'o’clock on SO we went round to Poole’s Lunch Room for ter git us a snak. They shore feed you good thar; but | then they orter for I they keep stuck sum uv the finest meats ever my j grinders into anywhere, an Mr. Poole, the boss thar, knows jist how to have em cooked an served to a hungry man. Them beef stakes and pork chops of their’n simply melts in your mouth. I jest couldn’t help but wish i Liza wuz er-long ter help mo an the kid put erway all them good things that wuz down thar fer our dinner. | An you kno all that thare good home cooked dinner never cost me hut very little, neither. i uv ‘ l sudden I felt role shamed myself . . new uv puttin on airs in a sute and hadn’t hot Liza nothin to ware, so 1 went back round to Gold man’s Dry Goods Store where I know ed a swell line uv ladies ready to wear , wuz kept all the time and picked out R p Ur ty navy blue dress for Liza.

Mr. Johnson takes price in turnin out ther very best and they’ve got a up-to-date cleanin and pressin' plant what turns out work in a hurry.
