To The Voters of Decatur County
and all others concerned.
Brinson, Ga., Feb.7.1916.—On
account of a report that has been
circulated throught the county
that Mr. S. W. Martin through
outside influence failed and re
fused to do his duty in apprehend
ing the murderer of my son,
John Reynolds at Brinson, Ga.,
on the 12th, day of March 1915.
In justice to Mr. S. W. Martin,
the present sheriff of this county
and his deputies. I feel that I
should try to put at rest any and
all such unfounded and damag
ing reports against Mr. Martin.
I being the father of Mr. John
Reynolds, the most interested
party of this terrible crime, I
wish to say; that Mr. S. W.
Martin at the time ot this crime
did every thing and even more
than could be expected. And I
have reason to know, that he is
yet doing every thing possible to
aprehend this fugitive, having
spent his own money in going
out of the State to take up any
clue or identify any suspect,
“opportunity”
“There is a tide in affairs of men,.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the rest of their lives
Is bound in shallows and miseries.
We mu3t take the current when it seiyes,
Or lose our ventures’’.
When Bill Shakespeare grabbed a quill'from Mr. A. Goose and
speared these few immortal lines on Titrie’s Page, he probably
didn’t think they would be quoted by countless millions. They are
very applicable to our contest.
TODAY we are HERE, and TOMORROW we “ain’t”, and
with our TODAYS are our OPPORTUNITIES, and with our tomor
rows come the thoughts that Maud Muller had after the judge
rode by—“IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN”.

MIKES BIG HIT
To the Voters of Decatur Co;
I am a candidate to succeed
as Odinary of Decatur county.
My. records are open, and* you
can see from them my efficiency
as an officer giving special study
for what is required to do and
be done. I am willing, and it is
my desire to perform the duties
required in the office for another
term.
With my experience I believe
I could be of greater service to
the people of the county than
before in this important position.
During my time of the past in
office, I have devoted my entire
time and efforts in the perfor
mance of the duties, as is shown
by records, I am compelled to
rely upon my friends and to
those who feel the ^character of
my public services, and rely up
on your support for my re-elec
tion.
Assuring you that I shall be
grateful to you for your support
on election day, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
T. B. Maxwell.

CO. GARAGE. »
To the SECOND HIGHEST in this race goes a $400 PIANO,

prize, than is offered in many a weekly newspaper campaign as a
first prize.
To the THIRD HIGHEST will go a $100 Life Scholarship at
THE DRAUGHON BUSINESS COLLEGE, Atlanta, and this
carries a full year’s instruction in bookkeeping, typewriting, arid
shorthand.
And, in addition, special cash prizes aggregating $35 are given

Fannie Brockett won $5, and last Saturday $5 in g6ld was won by
Miss Irene Walther who turned in the greatest amount of
cash subscription business for the week. $5 will be given away
Feb. 19th, at 2 p. m. to the candidate turning in the GREATEST
NUMBER OF NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS.
In addition to this fine prize list, every candidate that competes
to the end of the contest, does not win a grand prize, or a special
cash prize, and turns in even as little as $25 in cash subscription
business, GETS A CASH COMMISSION ON EVERY DOLLAR
THE CANDIDATE TURNS IN. With such a prize list, and with
NO LOSERS (for all get something, a prize or a commission) the

THAN WE EXPECTED. It is SOME RACE, and the final winners
will know they have been in some scrap.
KNOW IT IS SOME FIGHT
NO CANDIDATE CAN SIT AT HOME WITH FOLDED
HANDS AND WIN THIS CAR. The only way to WIN is to take a
receipt book, call on your friends and get them to subscribe or re
new their subscription. THIS IS THE ONLY-WAY TO WIN, AND
IT TAKES WORK. Also DON’T BE OVERCONFIDENT because

In Story Book Land, presented
by local talent at the'Callahan
Theatre on last Friday ‘ night,
was a signal success. A large
audience attended the pretty
little production and roundly ap
plauded the' amateurs who in
many instances performed like
veterans of the stage.
One hundred and forty-four
persons were in the cast and
everyone deserves credit for
their acting. From the smallest
child who played the part of
“Snow Drop” to crusty old King
of Hearts the entire cast de
serves praise.
Mr. J. L. Francis, under whose
supervisien the play was staged,
was to a large degree responsible
for the success of the production.
This young man worked untir
ingly to perfect the smallest de
tail/ The finished product was
a tribute to his abiity untiring
effiort.
Several spectacular dance num
bers were well received. Dances
of the follies, and nympho, of the
flowers and the snowdrops were
pretty. The young ladies who
took part in the oances were
graceful exponents of Pavola.
Several catchy songs were in
terwoven in the scheme of the
play. Every number was well
rendered and the large audience
was more than pleased. Mrs.
Harry Gammage, as Mary Quite
Contrary and Miss Catherine
Chestnut, as Little feo Peep,
were easily the stars of the
evening. Both their acting and
singing were of professional
variety.
