Mrs. L. A. Dorough D.es
On Punday evening July the
10th, 1944 the grim reaper visited
our little city and bore away the
lovely spirit of Mrs. L. A. Dor
ough.
Mrs. Dorough was ahoutseventy
lour years old, had been a resident
of Koyston for the past twenty
years.
She was a woman of rare accom
plishments —possessed a wonilertul
intellect that had been well devel
oped by good educational advan
tages. She was a splendid writer
and considered one of the most
brilliant women of the state.
She leaves six children, three
sisters and one brother, a host of
grand children and friends to
mourn her departue. Two of her
sons Col. T. (J. Dorough (thepres
ent inemlier of the legislature from
Franklin) L. \V. Dorough and
Mrs. J. A. Dyar are and have
been for years residents of Koys
ton, Eugene Dorough and \V. P.
Dorough (owners oi laid den &
Kates Music House) live in Atlan
ta Georgia, while Lee Dorough the
other son i sides in Hanks county.
Koyston Keeord.
Automobile Line
A first class graded road will
soon be completed from Lula to
the Franklin county line, connect
ing with the graded road to
Carnesville.
The slogan of our citizens now
is an automobile line from fames
ville to Lula by way of Homer.
If the authorities from Hanks and
Franklin counties would soil this
road, then a stock company will be
formed and an automobile schedule
put on at once. This would put
the citizens of Carnesville only a
thirty mile drive to Lula where
they can take a train almost hour
ly for Atlanta and the northern
cities. If this were done.
Wouldn't the Southern It. K.
soon run a branch road into this
territory rather than the automo
biles should have the tratic.

John R. Coopr in Homer .
Hon. John R. Cooper, candidate
for the senate, addressed several
hundred people in the court house
here Wednesday afternoon, and
was heartily cheered by his hear
ers. He Hayed Slaton, Hard
wieek and Felder from who “tied
the dog loose,” but left Hutchins
severely alone.
The main plank in Mr. Cooper’s
platform is that he wants the of
fice and he wants it bad. He said
that if defeated this time he would
try it again ami the liest way to
get rid of Cooper would be to elect
him now.
Mr. Cooper was introduced by
Col. Oscar Drown, his lifelong
fiiend, who related many incidents
of his boyhood days in Gwinnett
county, and the hard struggle the
noted lawyer had in getting an id
u cation.

Threshed oats are fine for fowls, if
fed Intelligently. They will some
times produce crop-bound, if fed too
freely when first fed. Almost any dry
bulky rations will produce crop-bound
when fed In large quantity. However,
oats are a very valuable ration for
fowls, but we would prefer to feed It
alternately with a mash food made of
pure wheat bran, hominy feed and
ehorts.

“Clean up the bowels and keep
