Watson of Georgia fully'sustained his unsurpassed reputation as an orator and statesman in the speech which he delivered at Idylwild, last Friday, to an audience of more than five thousand people from the counties of Johoson, Washington, Laurens, Toombs, Jefferson and Wilkerson. He was introduced by Hon. A. S. Bussey, formerly of Wrights- ville, but now of Ashburn. Mr. Watson was in the pink of condition, and in the opening of his speech, as he referred tender ly and lovingly to the loyal friends who had followed his fortunes in the early nineties, those whose faces he recognized in the vast throng before him, and those whose hands had been folded in eternal rest, there came back to the ()ld Gaurd the memories of days that are past and gone when he led them so royally under the banner of Populism, and the old battle-cry, “Hurrah for Watson”, rang out on the Summer breeze as of yore. At the conclusion of his speech, those who intended to support him at the polls were asked to signify their intention, and practically every man in the vast audience pledged his unqualified support. At some date in the near future, to be announced later, he will speak at Sandersville. Mr. Wat son is one of the few real orators of the present age, and our peo ple are to be congratulated on this opportunity of hearing him.

Goodman, The Daylight Corner A summing up the business of the community would be incom plete without due mention being made of F. H. Goodman, who is one of the mercantile war horses of the county. He has made a success of life, and the liberal and judicious application of printer’s ink has been largely responsible. The people of the community have umlimited confidence in Mr. Goodman and his manner of do ing business, and confidence, you know is the hinge upon which the business world hangs. Because of this confidence the store has been given a business prestige that is I indeed enviable. For Goodness Sake Buy your harness where goodness is evident in every set. Finish isn’t the only thing to consider. Some harness looks like a picture but wears like a tintype. Ours is in the long-wear class. Because when we made the contract for our 1908 stock we made quality and durability the watchword. Then by placing one of the largest orders the agent ever took for the particular goods we selected, we succeeded in getting the fin ish and style included with hardly any advance in cost. Right here’s where you win; tor this line of harness which we offer for spring trade is just a little bit ahead of anything around these parts. Needn’t take our word for it. The. goods can be seen any day. If you can do better else- where we don’t expect your patronage. All we want is a show. Come in any time—the sooner the better. Look all you want to—looks are free.
