with that road to become first vice-
president and general manager of
a larger organization which bar

timber, caused eome surprise
this city.
Mr. Graly has been with the
Georgia Southern and Florida

five years ago. Tn fact, he Is one
of the men who built the road, be
ing superintendent of Its con

ta have always been interested In
him and hi* movements. It Is un
derstood that the new company
with which he has associated him
self has a papital stock of $600,-
000 and &jt It will engage In busi
ness on a large scale. It Is un
derstood also that It will have one
or two plants In South Georgia and
Florida, but Is has not been stated
where these plants will be located.
In view* of the fact, that Valdos
ta Is well located as a distributing
ipolnt, It strikes The Times that
this city ought to bo considered as
a proper location for one of the
plants. ' The officers of the com
pany are P. C. Parker, president:
O. M. Grady, vice-president and
general manager; and J. C. Odell,
of Rome, secreary and treasurer.

R|HRtinc from the trees alone, the
^^iew process makes possible the
v extraction of turentlne and It* by-
I product froml tend and otherwise
i waste wood, the pulp going to
manufactured paper.

from D. H. Prevatt, a white man
of Whlgham, containing $25.
It la said that the negro had im
personated a son of D. H. Prevatt,
Mr. Prevatt having a son absent
from home. The negro evldent’y
knew of this and wrote to Mr. Pre
vatt Informing him that he needet)
money and signed the son’s name
to the letter.
It is said that a correspondence
was opened Ibetween the negro and
Whlgham man and several letters
were exchanged. The Whlgham man
became auspicious and notified the
postal authorities of what was go
ing on. It was decided that he was
to send a registered letter to the
negro and when the negro called ut

rested.

A Growl With a Point to It.
The following Is taken from a
Southern newspaper;
“The average farmer buya canned
and dried frnlta—likewise other
canned and dried goods. He gets
up at the alarm of a Cincinnati
clock, fastens hie Chicago suspend
ers to his Detroit overalls, washes
his face with Cincinnati soap In ft
Pennsylvania washpnn, alts down to
a Grand Rapid* table and eats In
dlana hominy fried In St. Joseph
lard on a St. Louis stove. Then he
puts a St. Louis bridle on a Ten
nessee mule and plovpi n farm cov
ered with an Ohio mortgage. When
bedtime romes he reads a Bible
printed In Jerusalem nnd crawl
under a- blanket made In New Jer
sey, only to he kept awake by. a
Georgia dog—which la about the
only home raised product on the
place."
