No Postponement of Cuban election

ttry Root has addressed a letter to
F. G. Pierra, the representative of
tbe Maso party in Cuba, who is at
present in this city, denying bis
request for a postponement of tbe

Cuba, aqd that such postponement
would call on tbe United State*

A Generous Donation.
The following letter will explain
itself:
DsWitt, Ga., Dec: 16. 1901
Maj E. M. Mallette, Tbomasville,
Georgia:
Dear Sir:—I will ship by tomor
row’s freight 104 Pecan trees for
tbe c ty—the balance will follow
later.
These trees are from the Mag
ntimbonum huts.
This class of trees from tbe»e
nuts this season have not sold for
less than a dollar each.
I hope they will reach yon in
good ' order and that your city
authorities will take good care
and make a success of them.
Tbe above is a part of tbe dona
tion to your city promised earlier^
Id tbe season.
Yours truly,
•, Cl. M. Bacon.
This generous action on tbe part
of Major Bicon, will be duly and
deeply appreciated by the citiz9na
of Tbomasville. Major Bacoa, at
his lovely home at “DeWitt,”
is surrounded by beautiful trees,
and bis broad acres are dotted
with tbe fiuest -varieties of fruit
He is making a specialty of the
pecan, and has, perhaps, tbe finest
variety of this popular and always
saleable out, to be found in any
southern nursery. The farmers o r
Thomas county could make no
better paying investment than to
put out a few acres of pecans.
