County Missed Misdemeanor Convicts. Plans to Entertain Governor Brown. WWWV%%%V% Read This Ad. The Washington county officials were eager for ita proportion of the oonviots that had beon working in what have been known aa "Wild Gat” camps and Secretary Newman of the county Board was in Atlanta on November 6th expecting to receive about twenty live, but the owners of the Wild Oat camps had taken advantage of the sit uation and turned the misdemeanor convicts back to the counties from whom they had been hired and deman ded their money instead of turning them over to the Frison Commission, as had been expected. There were ubout seven hundred misdemeanor convicts illegally held at these Wild Cat camps and the Prison Commission had planned to turn them over to the several counties. This county will, however, receive its full quota of the felony convicts on April 1st. While it is not definitely known what day Gov. Elect Joe. M. Brown will come to Sandersville it is thought he may come sometime in December and Already the Mayor and Oounoil and other citizens are discussing plans to entertain him. Should school be in session while the Governor Elect h in the eity, he will be asked to talk to the sohool children, because It in well known how deeply interested in children and eduoation the new Governor is. There will also likely be a public reception where all our citizens may have the opportunity to meet the distinguished visitor. Other plans will be made when Mr Brown decides what day he can reach the city and Mayor Evans and the members of the city counoil will take the matter up at some subsequent meeting.

A Good Showing. t Congress meets the first Monday December and for the next several months will be engaged in making the laws and appropriating the money of the people. The country is interested principally in the subject of tariff revision prom ised by the republicans and now being considered by a special committee in Washington. It is generally expected that the tariff will be so revised by the republi cans as that several more millions of dollars will be added to the treasury and expended in extravagant appro priations and in paying more office holders. The present income from the Water Works and Electric Light Plants of the city of Sandersville is more than one thousand dollars per month, or to be exact, for the last month amounted to the grand total of 11194.88. As the city has grown, the income has gradually increased and when the next month has come and gone, other patrons will be added and a new and better showing will be made. The present income is very gratify ing to our citizens and shows the im portance of these enterprises as well as the good management of the commis sioners. And it must be borne in mind that making up this showing, all the street lights are figured free to the town. Jeffersonian Boasts of tory in 10th.
