Many readers of this paper already know that we are the largest Organ Dealers in the United States, and that we sold
1,800 Organs during the year 1905. We frequently have bargain sales of Organs and Pianos and in every case, give
our patrons more for their money than can be gotten anywher£. In selling out.this car load of Putnam Organs at about
hall price, we are going further into the price-cutting business than has ever been done. To do mgre and better than ever
before is our policy. We can't afford to let well enough alone. We must be ahead all the time.

HAPPENINGS
£ MEIGS
About Labor, Lights, Tax
and Other Things .
of Interest.
Bad Roads.
The "Rural Rooters," especially
■umbers 2 and 3, who go out from
this place are complaining very
much about the terrible condition o(
their rOade. On one of these much
of the worst portion is a byway ,and
must be puf In condition by the
neighborhood. If these places are
allowed to continue the matter will
be reported to the department, and
that portion or the route will be dis
continued.
To Camp At Brick.
R. L. Daniel, of this place, overseer
of a squad of the county road gang,
gives the Information that h's camp
will be at Brick for the present.
Those Interested will make a note.
To Collect Tax.
Mr. E. S. White will be In Meigs
■II day at the City Hall on February
17th for the purpose of collecting
the road tax for this district. Every
body will do well to pin this notice
in bis hat.
Lights and Water.
Mayor Wilkes Informs us that the
question of electric lights will be
put tn shape at the next meeting of
the council. We only hope that a
water works attachment will be
made. This town always has plenty
of money. So no bonds will be nec
essary. ythat a pity!
A Lrgtslntlre Candidate.
Will Meigs furnleh one of the
candidates for legislative honore In
-'the next race? If tfc moon hits
right you will hear from this dis
trict In due time.
Labor. Scarce.
Farm labor la scarce %n this part
af the county. Perhaps, U farmers
should nin&c the price of farm work
commcnsurnto with the price paid
for other work, things would even
up. ? ,
Holding Cotton.
We know "at least one farmer who
has two years’ crop of cotton on
hand. That farmer has about one
dozen other things to sell, which
allows him to hold his cotton. In
a short time he will have three crops
on hand.
Spring on tlie Farm.
Farmers are gulled Into believing
that spring has come. The atmos
phere is full of the smoke of log
burning heaps and on every breeze
rides the enlivening “corn-song” of
the negro plow-hand, spiced with a
melodious "gee” and "haw," now
and then. Truly this balmy weather
Is deceiving. If there Is any kind
of business that Is more enjoyable
than farming It must be school
teaching.
Tomatoes Forget Season.
Mr. J. W. Hall has tqrnlsueu u.
ripe tomatoes for our next Sunday's
soup. No wonder farmers are plow
ing, plum and peach trees are bloom
ing and Mie hens are cackling, when
tomatoes have forgotten their season
of the year. We verily believe Re
can raise anything In Meigs district
from a difficulty to a weather flag.
, Cash tlie Word!
Thcre'are two stores here that do
a strictly cash business. One has
been In operation for several years.
The proprietor can write a good
hamji'but he never practices In an ac-
coSnt book. The other carries a fair
sized stock Ad Is doing s satisfacto
ry business.
Questions Cnrolinn Philosophy.
We do not quite see the philoso
phy In the suggestion of the man in
South Carolina on the whiskey
question, discussed In the editorial
columns of this paper. If the ob
ject of prohibition Is the reforma
tion. of the old "gum logs” who are
already soaked in the vile stuff,' It
will fall. Nothing but the religion
of Jesus Christ can reform him.
There Is Vo sense In curing drunk-
new by giving whiskey. Would yon
try more rattle snakes to cure the
bite of one? We need not hope to
'lessen the number of drunkards In
the next generation by giving It all
the beer and wine It can consume.
The prohibitionists will have work
to do Just so long ns no crusade Is
made against the numerous newspa
pers that cdntaln blotant Illustrated
advertisements of the various whis
key bouses. Some of these adver
tisements contain, pictures of some
aid (deluded, If real- preacher charg
ing his old age to some certain brand
of whiskey. Such a preacher should
not preach the funeral of this de
ponent. He Is a botch, and we have
more reapect tor a thief who can
Bteal a ham and get away with It
than we have for a bptch preacher.
