No unusual occasion culled forth fthtft sumptuous repast, jt was only u return to early formed habits and a manner kind that makes the whole world kin. The appeased uppetiles of the fortunate few who were gathered caused them to give vent to their feelings in words of the highest'pruise to the mistress of the household and the ctfef of the culinary department.

The political pot in Dooly county continues to bubble and boil and new candidates are continually be ing lidded to the turbulent stream. The more the merrier, jus the old saying goes, and the fewer votes it will take to elect. H. W.

I guess it will tuke him that long to sling out ull of his mud. He is an old fashioned mud slinger x und campaigner, Mr. Guerry und his prohibition crowd have done everything in their power to get Hon. Toe Terrell to say something and fight back at them. Sooner or later Mr. GueiVy will have plenty of time to ciaw- fish and ke won’t belong to Cer- vera’s fleet at Santiago either. We don’t claim Mr. Terrell a model Sampson. It seems like Mr. Bei- ner and Mr. Potts have got the the Bud penned up, Mr, Terrell is one of the clean est candidates that ever come be fore the people of Georgia. Mr. Guerry is a great old barker and in his own yard raises a great of fuss. The gate wilf fly open day and then he will tuck ail between his legs and he think he is the other fellow. O. B.

But should our law makers decide to open up some “soft snap” that most anybody cun fill, then, and noj until then will we consent to allow the “dear people” to,offer our name .
