A. Dodd and A. G. White, of Bartow county, Georgia, at private sale, for re-lnvfstnitnt. the follbwlng described! lands belonging to my said wards, bo-wit: ‘’The undivided one-third (1-3) of a certain tract of land containing two hundred and thirty-eight. (238) acres, more or less, whereon I and my chil dren lately resided and lately known as the Swinney place, all lying and being in the 17th District and 3d Secfon of Bartow county, Georgia, consisting of land lot Numter Eleven Hundred and Forty-five (1145.) and of that part, of the old Dickerson place (more patticularly described in John W. Ai.iiib deed to myself, recorded in Clerk'EOffice, Bartow Supetior Court, Deed Book “M M” page 598) consisting of the following lots and parts of lots, to-wit: All of lot Num ber Eleven Hundred and Forty-five (.1145) except a strip of land containing five (5) acres and running of even width across the entire south side of said lot, the 6outb line of said lot being the south boundary of said five acre tract! which is in the form of a parallelogram; all of lot Number Eleven Hundred and Forty-four (1144) except a tract containing one and one- half (1%) acres in the southwest cor- uer thereof, being the tract of one and one-half acres heretofore conveyed by L. F. Shaw to John H. Walker; the east half of lot Number Eleven Hundred and Sixty-one (1161); all of lot Number Twelve Hundred and Fifteen (1215); all of lot Number One Thousand and Ninety (1090) south of the Alabama Public Road, being about raeven (7) acres thereof; all of lots Number Twelve ’Hundred and Thirteen (1213) and Twelve Hundred and Four teen (1214) lying and being on the south side of the center of a private road running from the cotton house eastward to the center of Euhfirlee • Creek, said private rood starting from the tast side of lot known as th3 May- son lot; all of lot Number Twelve Hundred and Tblrty-flve (1235) ly ing north of the e nter of a slough and the center of Euhatlee Creek strip of land containing three and one-half (3%) acres, more or less, of Vlot of land Number Twelve Hundred and Thirty-six (1236),said S’.ripof land known as the n a ck bstween the slough and the creek, and extending to the center cf th:* creek on the south sid' of the slough from the mouth thereof, the center of th? creek being the line; aaid undivided one-third (1-3) interest of said lands being all right*, titles, ,interests, Equities and estates of my fsaid wards in all of th? above de scribed lands.” The reasons for desiring to make said •sale and reinvestment are as fol lows: (a) That I am a widow and cannot personally manage and conduct farm ing operations on said lands advanta geously or profitably, nor can said -lands be rented to tenants so as to f preserve the lands and at the same time derive a good profit therefrom. (b.) Because my said wards are now at an ag? wher? it is n?ces:ary to send them to a better school thin is ac cessible to us while residing on said lands. (c.) Because hired labor is scarce ‘and high, and hard to obtain, and jflherefore I am not able to operate r aaid farm with hired labor at a good profit. (d.) I, myself, individually own the undivided two-thirds (2-3) of the plantation and lands above* describtoed. In which plantation and lands my aaid wards own the other undivided ope- third (1-3,) and the entire place can now be sold to said Dodd and White at and for the sum of seveiqt.y-fLvebun dred dollars (57.500.00,) thus yielding to my said wards twenty-five .hundred dollars ($2,500.00) for their one-third (1-3) interest, and five thousand dol lars ($5,000.00) to me for my two- thirds (2-3) interest, which Is an ad vantageous trade both for me and my said wards, because 1 ran re-iilvest my money in a home for myself and chil dren near a good school and can re invest the Twenty-five Hundred dol lars ($2,500.00) belonging to my said wards from the -proceeds ‘of said sale by loaning the same out on good se curity, bearing interest at the rate of eight i>er cent, per annum, which will afford a larger and surer income for my said wards than could be ob tained from the rental of said lands. A copy of my said |>etition, duly verified by myself, will be served per sonally upon each of my said wards and upon their next of kin, as re quired by law, at least ten days before the time for the hearing of said ap plication. This March 27tli, 1907. MRS. IRIS H. SWINNEY, Guardian of Sallie Fannie Swinney and John T. Swinney, minors. ( MANUK IN 8EAB0AKD SCHEDULE.

More than a hundred thousand dol lars have been paid out in losses in Cedartown and Folk county by the insurance companies represented by W. J. Harris & Co. Many men and women have been saved many years of hard-earned money by insuring with W. .1. Harris & Co. Police officer P. C. Massey pulled a news butch, Henry Barlow, on the Central road Thursday for blind tiging here as the train stops at the station. He was long suspected by the city police, and was caught “dead straight" in a sale. Mayor Lacy is- sessed him $25 nnd costs. Chief M. D, Russell has just re ceived letters from some of the Ala bama companies stating that the new interstate commerce law is interfer ing with their securing of transporta tion for their equipment except by pay ment of the full rate. It is greatly to be hoped this difficulty can be over come, as the fire departments of the country have saved the railroads thou sands of dollars, and the latter hav always shown a disposition to appre ciate it.

THEY CALL A HALT. Editors Standard: — Ou last Sunday eighteen or twenty boys and men passed along the public road leading from Cedartown to Prior’s, going and coming to and from the ‘‘Bell Tree” just, over tbe Alabama Hue. As they came buck, some of them were boistrous, firing off their guns and driving their hired horses at a break-neck speed. Some were ou wheels with big bottles of the damnable stuff sticking In * each hip pocket, where every body could see* it. Two of them stopped in front of Ellis Chapel church where the people were gathering for Sunday School, and while there used profane language. Our people are going to protect our wives, our daughters and our children. I hope you will call attention to the fact that it had better stop or some body will suffer. If you see fit, can publish this let ter, of you can write an editorial on it, but any way warn them that we, the people of this community, are a law-abiding people, and we will call on the law and officers of the Jaw for protection. Yours for justice, sobrie ty and protection. J. N'. BLANK INSHIP, RICHARD GREEN. TWO SAD DEATHS.
