He goes further and states that he is considering the dead statesman and his family in Us recommendation and does it in the hope that it will lie regarded as a token of affection from tho people of the district. Judre Hark states that no one had a right to expect this appoint ment as there were no promises, ex- 1 ressed or implied and this being the case, lu* was at liberty to pursue in , urse r.

Christmas goods are being display ed and the first man there gets the best pick. lt*s as easy to apply for govern ment jobs no was it Is for a rich widow to become a bride. There are only twelve million tele phones in -use In the whole world, and some of them get good service. An old maid once remarked that a pair of socks would hold all she wanted for Christmas. How about it, girls? Thanksgiving dinner this year cost mere than at any time in the past fifty years. It shore did taste good, though. We are expecting a big holiday trade in Thomasvilie, and the buy- at-home spirit will predominate more than ever before. The people of Thomasvilie con gratulate Mrs. Roddenbery sincerely and heartily on securing the Thom asvilie Post Office. Up in New York a Judge sentenc ed a man to fourteen years hard la bor for carrying a concealed weapon. Hie thing must have gone off acci dentally and killed somebody. The Americus Times-Recorder has claimed the pennant. Hope it wont Avork quite as disastrously as a simi lar claim made last summer. The Thomasvilie Times-Enterprise says that .'00 turkeys sold in its town were all raised in Thomas county. If every other county in Georgia only had the same record! —Macon News. The Post Office will change hands about the first of January, four months before the term of Postmas ter Disimikes expires. He proposes to give up his position on the first of the year &ul enter into other fiusi- iiess. The l ost Office i< fairly romplet without the Post Master, and it is customary for a Congressman t consult his own feelings in makin appointments. Mr. Luke's friends would have had a lot to say about the local post office, in case the Thomas county candidate had won, but as Judge Park won, it is up to bis own supporters to approve or disapprove of the course pursued. Personally, we would have ac cepted with good grace any appoint ment made by the vi< torioug candi date and in the same spirit we con gratulate Mrs. Roddenbery and see no reason why she should not ac cept. as she can procure such assis tance as is necessary to run the office. While the plums are falling, Mrs. Koddenbery’s friends, and tlie people generally, will be glad she re ceived one of the best. A GEORGIA PRODUCTS MAX. There is a merchant in Dublitj who certainly has the right idea. He believes in Georgia products, es pecially in the matter of eggs and poultry, and the way this merchant puts the idea before the public, by advertising it in the newspaper of his city, is inspiring and convinc ing. His advertisement is«n veritable sermon. Read it: “We wish the people of Dublin and Laurens county to know that we are paying around 33 cents per dozen for eggs (cold storage at that), 12 cents per pound for hens and small chickens and 12 \' 2 cents, per pound for turkeys. We will do even better than that for our home ieople. We will give you 40 cents per dozen for fresh eggs, 12 Vs cents per pound for hens and 13 cents ,.er pound for turkeys. Ar e you going to continue to have your lien house in Tennessee?” If more dealers would follow the example of this Dublin merchant, there would he more incentive for Georgia farmers to devote greater time and effort to poultry raising. The trouble Is that dealers will posi tively pay higher prices for import ed eggs and poultry, when they could get fresher eggs and fatter chickens right in their own terri tory by offering the same prices. ! It is to be hoped that the inter est stimulated in Georgia products by the campaign of the State Cham ber of Commerce will arouse a deep er appreciation in the merchants of the duty they owe the producers of their own state and community.— Macon News.

Atlanta, Nov. 29.—Statewide ef fects are beginning to be felt as the result of the harnessing of the big water power at Tallulah. The im mense energy that had lain dormant so far as practical results are con cerned since the dawn of creation, is now working with tlie power of hundreds and thousands of men and horses, for the material apbuildiug of Georgia. Not oniy ia Atlanta, but every where where the big tower lines run, it is beginning to mean the spring ing up of new manufacturing in dustries, encouraged by cheaper and more abundant and better power; a day current for all purposes wftere there has only been a night current in many instances before; a pros pective decrease in city and town taxes because municipalities can now obtain power cheaper than they used to make it.
