We want all errors. 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”. I till Ml JUDGE MUREll 10CIL TILEIT 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. IGHT TO THE VOTERS OF In Story Book Book Land a Pretty 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.
