Blakely, Ga., June 25, 1931.
A FINE OPPORTUNITY.
A fine opportunity is presented
the incoming governor to accom
plish something constructive for his
state. Mr. Russell was elected on
a platform which pledged economy
in state government and a reorgan
ization of the many bureaus and
departments which are at present
functioning in the state govern
ment. While the savings which
would result from such a reorgani
zation would not run into “big”
money, they would be worth-while
and would be a step toward curb
ing added taxation. With a major
ity of the members of the legislature
friendly to the Russell administra
tion, the chief executive is placed
in a more favorable position > than
any of the governors in recent years.
May something good come of the
new administration!

of war debts will help to improve

The new governor is in favor of
redistricting the state rather than
a state-wide election to reduce the
number of congressmen from twelve
to ten. The Legislature will prob-1

this matter.

The baseball fans of this city
have shown a fine spirit of loyalty
towards the local team thus far in

turning out in larger numbers than

family’s friend, who comes to the
bedside when he is needed, whose |
sympathy, cheerfulness and under- j
standing of the individual patient,
have helped us ’through many a
gloomy hour is inferior to no man
in his profession. He supplies some-!
thing that is often even more neces
sary than his knowledge and skill.
To him we are a human being, not
a mere name and case record in a
file. And if he is wise enough, as
he usually is, to know when we
need a specialist’s attention, then
we are right to trust him and to
honor him as highly as we honor any
great name in the medical roster.
We can’t do without him. Let no
man speak slightingly of him.—The

Wonderful Shops
No other city in the world, unless
it may be Paris and London, can
compare with New York for its
shops. One can find tricky little
clocks right'from the Swiss Alps,
dried olives from Greece, which na
tives of that country swear are in
finitely better than the best Cali
fornia queen olives, Armenian pas
tries and confections, shawls from
Persia, and in fact almost every
thing the world has to offer in the
way of novelties and luxuries.
Turning the old proverb around,
a woman and her money are soon
parted—if she goes shopping in New
York.
New York Bargains
A half page advertisement in the
New York Sun the other night of
fered for sale a necklace at half
price. The advertisers, a famous
jewelry house, said they were will
ing to take $46,000 for it. They also
offered a few diamond trifles around
SIO,OOO or so.
There are lots of real bargains
here if one can afford them.
Theatre Bargains
One good tip for visitors is about
Joe Leblang’s theatre ticket office,
back of Gray’s drug store at Forty
third Street and Broadway. If you
get there half an hour before the
theatre opens you can always pick
up cheap theatre tickets, usually at
half price. Maybe they will not be
for the show you have set your
heart on seeing that night, but they
will be for sortie show just about as
good.
Recently we acquired for $1.50
a pair of tickets for a first-class at
traction that had been running here
for months. It just happened to be
one night that the house had failed
to sell out and rather than let SIOO
worth of seats go unsold, the theatre
rushed over a block of seats to
Leblang’s and they were sold over
the counter. Joe Leblang, who
founded this business, died the other
day, leaving a million.
Novel Ticket Selling
Whenever a pair of tickets comes
in that way to Gray’s store, a man
on a stool back of the counter calls
out what he has and the waiting
crowd surges forward and the first
one to get to him buys the tickets
and darts out for the show.
As far as we have ever seen, this
town is the only one in the world
that has an establishment like
Gray’s.
Where Chorines Buy
Dresses that sold at the height of
the winter social season for S3OO
and even more, can be bought for
less than SSO very often. And they
have wonderful material in them.
Hats are also something that can
I be bought for little money, provided
one knows where to hunt.
One of the favorite districts for
bargains is in mid-town, right off
the theatrical part of town. Chorus
girls and actresses with thrifty dis
positions do all their buying in little
shops where marvelous deals can be
made and where bargains in the good
old French way still exists as part
of the business. Loaded with $25
or S3O in currency, with luck, a well
dressed woman can return home even
i better dressed and with bargains that
■ she will brag about for months.
Furs
One of the lines in which the
greatest apparent bargains can be
obtained is in furs. For SSO one
can buy a Hudson seal coat that
looks wonderful—in the window.
Fur scarfs for sls are plentiful and
other furs are accordingly priced.
Nearly every shop girl in New
York has her furs, all bought and
paid for on infinitely small wages.
That they have to skimp on their
food to pay for the finery goes with
out saying, but they get them, unless
thety happen to brush close to a
woman who is expensively gowned.
Then the contrast may be noted.
In the deals it is a case of caveat
emptor. Let the buyer beware—
that she knows what materials and
styles really are.
Horses Expensive
If someone led a Percheron weigh
ing 3000 pounds down Broadway he
would probably cause more excite
ment than if he towed a live dino
saur down the car tracks. The only
horses seen in the city are the
chucky truck horses and the fine
saddlers one sees along the numer-,
ous bridle paths in city parks.
A good saddle horse can cost J
| anything up to $1,500 without being I
a blue ribbon winner or the pos- j
sessor of a long pedigree. The j
I same horse would have cost Gen- I
I eral Grant about $l5O while Presi
dent Roosevelt could have mounted |
his Rough Riders, and probably;
I did, for about SIOO each.
In the last few years something!
| has happened, either money is freer 1
or the few who wants horses are !
wealthier than the buyers of other
days.
To get a well-matched team that
! can do a mile in five minutes costs
; nearly as much as a Rolls-Royce—
and they cost considerably more to
keep and the depreciation is much
heavier. Good horses are a profit
able thing for any farmer to breed
and raise.
