There’s a reason.
Mr. Coggins has a small
string of very good horses that
have been blazing the trail over
the southeastern track circuit
m a manner which has made all
the camp followers of the pon
ies sit up and take notice. In
other words, Mr. Coggins’ two
best bets—-Sledmer, with
mark of 2.13Vi. and Our Doc
tor, who bears a 2.07 Vi record,
have made a big clean-up at
Nashville, Birmingham and
Louisville. In the three starts
Sledmer ran away with the
handsome stake —$1000— in
each instance, besides a num
ber of side stakes. Our Doctor
has won several large stakes
and has been first under the

At a meeting held Tuesday
morning City Council decided
to extend water mains across
the creek to that portion of the
city known as Sunnyside. Work
on the new extension will be
gin immediately and unless un
avoidable delays occur water
will be flowing to that fast
growing suburb within a very
short while.
Outside of the city proper
this is perhaps the most preten
tious move council has made to
ward supplying the entire popu
lace with water for both home
use and fire protection, and
that it will meet with a hearty
response from the good people
of that settlement is assured.
All homes from the creek to the
old county asylum site will be
supplied with an abundance of
water and aside from other con
veniences the fire protection
feature will be of vast benefit
to property holders in that vl
cinity. .
With the completion of this
extension Canton will be one of
the best “watered” cities in the
state and council has done its
duty well.

JOEL I. WORLEY
GOES TO BEYOND
Mr. Joel T. Worley died in
Atlanta Saturday and his re
mains were brought to Wood-
stock Sunday, from which place
interment was made at the
burying grounds at Sixes on
Monday.
Mr. Worley was for a num
ber of years a prominent citi
zen of Cherokee and had a
large circle of friends, to all of
whom this announcement of his
death will come as a source of
regret. At the time of his
death Mr. Worley was well ad
vanced in years, only a short
ways from the three score and
ten mark.
The Advance offers condol
ence to the bereaved.
Mr. Jess C. Taylor, who lives
;near Ball Ground, although
Canton claims him, is not only
| a scholar but a gentleman and
a potato raiser—considerable
potato raiser, believe us. Mr.
Taylor happened to have busi
ness in the city Monday and in
passing his potato patch he pick
ed up a couple of yellow yams
—one weighing 6 pounds and
the other one 5 pounds—and
brought them along to the Ad
vance office. Out of those two
potatoes the entire Advance
bunch has had potato pie every
day since Monday, besides help
ing our friends to a few messes.
As we said a few lines above Miss
Mr. Taylor is a scholar and a
kind hearted gentleman.
May his tribe increase and his
shadow never grow less.

20.—The big majority
which New Jersey rolled
up against woman suf
frage grew today with
the steady dribble of be
lated returns. Figures
still incomplete presaged
a verdict against “vote
for women” of not less
than 55,000 majority out
of approximately 350,-
000 votes cast at yester- 4*
day’s special election. 4*

There’s nothing to it—you
just can’t keep Canton out of
the limelight to save your life.
We had thought that the good
old burg had figured in her
share of the good things, but
now comes word from Barnes-
ville that the Canton contin
gent at Gordon Institute has
just about sewed up everything,
athletically speaking. The
local lads are making good—
very good. Max Sandow and
Isham Teasley have been se
lected as regulars on the 1916
baseball team; Tom Galt and
Sid DuPre have made the. foot
ball team, while Bryant Has
son and Joe Brown are cutting
didos on the basket ball team.
There being nothing more to
capture at present the boys are
resting on their oars until some
thing else turns up. The fu
ture career of the young men
will be watched with interest
by numerous Canton friends.

At noon a sumptuous dinner

The address of Miss Ethel

pleasing feature of the morn
