A Change.
1 have purchased from Mr. Taylor,
who has been the manager of the Her
ald for the past two years, his interest
in the lease contract and will continue
the publication of the Herald and Ten-
nille Tribune. Mr. Taylor will still be
connected with me in the publication
of the papers. This change was not
made on account of any disagreement
but simply because it was deemed beet
by all concerned, and we will appre
ciate the patronage of all customers
who have been so liberal to the Herald
in the past. It is my intention to make
the Herald better with each issue and
its columns will always be open to the
discussion of any subject of public in
terest.
A. J. Dunham.
Th" r <*ar I -er” tax has put this
article out of business in Washington
county.
Georgia has one editor named Wind.
But we don’t think he is on the Atlan
ta Journal.
The preachers are giving the sinners
something to think about during the
revival this week.
We wonder what the paragrahers
will do now that the extra session of
the Legislature has adjourned.
The people all over the State are
shaking handB with themselves over
the passage of the convict bill.
The season for the straw hat and
fire-cracker hosiery is passing but in
the north they still have the sheath
gown.
It iB said that Editor Gray, of the
Atlanta Journal, is not registered and
cannot vote in the coming election.
That is sad.
‘•The roar of the booming cannon i6
already being heard over the Graves of
Hisgen and Ilearst.—Eastman Hustler.
We presume Yancy Garter will be in
fit trim to accept the leadership of
Sydney Tapp’s bow-wow party after
Little Joe puts a quietus to his Inde
pendent aspirations.—Oconee Enter
prise.
The Altanla Journal said last Sunday
that Tom Watson was the worst toe
democracy ever had. Yet, two years
ago Editor Gray could find no words in
the dictionary with sufficient eclat lo
praise Tom Watson. Oh, consistency
what a jewel thou are—when you hit
in the right place!—Madison Adver
tiser.
The farmers of the south are facing a
crisis in their business. Ootton is
going down, and they are watching
with breathless interest the fight be
tween the bulls and the bears. The
hucccbs of the bulls means the success
of the farmers, the success of the
bears meaiiB the doom of the farmers.
The time is rapidly approaching, be
loved, when the farmers of the South
will pay no attention to the speculators
of Wall street, but will sell their pro
ducts at their own fixed price straight
to the consumer.—Madison Advertiser.
Stop a Minute!
Come to Sandersville next Saturday,
to the great tent meeting, run by John
B. Culpepper, and his son, Burke. It.
is to be an all day affair. Bring your
dinner, and enough to feed a hungry
neighbor. Mr Culpepper served the
Methodist church of the county thirty
o«ld years ago, and wants to preach to
all his old friends and their friends and
he says he want them to meet and hear
his son. First service at 9 o’clock, 11,
3, 5, and 8. The ministers and church
es are invited and this bids fair to be
one of the greatest meetings in the his
tory of the county. COME! Mr.Cul
pepper says tie the dog, pile your fam
ily in the wagon and come.
WILL SUPPORT NOMINEES,
Hon. Joseph M. Brown, the nominee
for governor, made the flowing state
ment to a representative of the Athens
Banner last week:
"I am glad to encourage others
to vote as I shall vote—for the
nominees of the national Demo
cratic ticket—Bryan and Kern. No
Democrat in Georgia can afford to
vote otherwise.”
During all the time when one or two
of the daily papers were roasting Mr.
Brown bo hard there was notone of his
friends who had the slightest doubt
but that he would support the national
Democratic ticket, but there was an ef
fort made to create the impression that
Mr. Brown would not support Bryan
and Kern, and the above statement
will undoubtedly put to flight all the
false reports and rumors to the con
trary. Mr. Brown is now making a
tour of the state in the interest of
Democracy.
It is impossible for ns to get poetical;
it isn’t in our nature, but we will say
that the lall time is here and it is time
to pay your subscription.
The controversy between some of
our citizens about the new city court
bill is getting real warm and is decid
edly interesting to a great many peo
ple all ever the county.
The irony of fate is something fierce
sometimes. The city officials are try
ing to move the hitching racks off the
public square but so far have been un-
able to find a suitable vacant lot.
We want to see the next legis
lature pass a law against the carrying
of concealed weapons, making the pun-
ishmant so strong that one example in
each county will be a sufficient lesson
to completely break up this cowardly
practice. Concealed pistols together
with a little Chattanooga boose will
create more crime than anything else
in the world.
Washington Circuit

The second Sunday and Satur
day before, of October, will be

ices at Deepstep at 8 p. m. and at

The Millen News came to our desk
last week with the prettiest print they
have had in some time and it was full
of good live news matter too. We con
gratulate the management on ita ap
pearance.
Do you think the merchants who car
ry advertisements in the Herald would
carry them if they didn’t get results?
Seems to us that the Herald is a
puller for the live merchant, as is
shown by our advertising colums thiB
issue.
J. H. Evans’
Residence Completed.
Dr. J. H. Evans has completed
his hundsome two story residence
on East Church street which is

ably to the price of adjoining

clusively on this job which insured
a strong wall that will not crack.

doors, blinds, interior and exte
rior finishings as well as the Ivory
Cemeut Plaster was furnished by

Some of the nlost caustic paragraphs
we have seen in years are directed at
the head of Yancey Carter, the inde
pendent candidate for Governor. We
suppose, though, that he is only out for
the notoriety and he will certainly get
* plenty of that, and then some.

The Atlanta Journal contends that
there web a deal between Watson and
Brown’s supporters to deliver the elec
toral vote of Georgia to the populist
candidate for the presidency, and Mr.
Watson says there never was and is not
now such a deal; so there you are.
The Herald rejoices with the friends
of the new convict law on its passage.
It will be remembered that the Herald
has stood for the paBt two years and
has used its columns to call attention
to the abuses of the lease system and
the placing of felons in competition
with the wage earners of our common
wealth.

paper. We furniBh stamps and

For Goodness 5ake
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; for 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. Buy only when
you are satisfied.
