GOOD ROADS HERE
FI
Good roads such as no other
counnty in the state can boast
are found in Decatur county. De
catur county has more good roads
than any other county in the
state. In all there are 1827 miles
of graded sand clay roads in this
county.
The county has in Capt. Geo.
S. Tucker, without doubt the
best road superintendent in the
state. His work speaks for itself.
The autoist who travels over the
Decatur county roads invarabily
wants to know “who build these
good roads”. The answer is al
ways the same “Captain Tucker”.
The county is rapidly replacing
the old wood bridges over the
creeks and branches with modern
re-inforced concrete structures.
It is the purpose of the commis
sioners to keep the bridges up to
the high standars the roads have
set.
If during the week ending the
18th, inst, your taxes are not
paid you are going to force me
to do something that I dislike to
do very much, that is put your
txaes in the hands of the Sheriff
for collection. I am loth to do
this, knowing the stringency, of
the times, but the law, as well
my large bond, will not allow me
to wait any longer. Trusting
that you will respond at once
and appreciate my position in
this matter, I am,
Yours faitfully,
T. M. Battle,
Tax Collector.
ELATED OVER THEIR
IIISITJOJAINBBIOEE
A party of four young auto
mobile tourists from Kansas
City. Mo., spent Tuesday and
Wednesday in Bainbridge. They
were more than pleased with the
country and were frank to say
that they would return next fall
in preference to going to Florida
as they have in the past three
winters.
In the party from the western
meat center were Messrs. W.
Lavy, Clark, Miller and S. Lavy.
They were on their homeward
jaunt from Miami to Kansas City
when they stopped over in Bain
bridge.
While they were here they
were shown over the county by
Mayor Callahan and secretary
Quimby Melton of the Board of
Trade. The good roads of the
county were a revelation to the
visitors.
“You can bet that we’ll al
ways be found boosting Bain
bridge,” said the spokesman of
the bunch befqre they left the
city Wednesday afternoon.

Big Meat Packing Plant
Will be Ready by Fall.
Farmers Already Pre
paring to Raise Hogs on
Large Scale.
The big packing plant propos
ed for Decatur county will be a
factor in the development of
Bainbridge, Decatur County and
southwest Georgia. Those be
hind the plant state that it will
be ready for business by the
middle of November.
Decatur county farmers are al
ready begginning to prepare to
raise hogs on a large scale. The
plant will have a capacity of 500
hogs a day and 75 head of cattle.
Quite a number of hogs and
cattle will be needed to keep
the plant under full operation the
year round.
Interest in the plant is not
restricted to Decatur county.
The bordering counties seem just
as interested as Decatur. From
all sections of southwest Georgia
comes the word that the plant
will be supported from the very
start. Numerous parties living
outside the county stand ready
to subscribe to the capital stock
of the plant. *
Definite announcement as to
the campaign to raise the capital
will be made within the next
ten days. The committee ap
pointed to care for the prelimin
ary, work has been quite busy
gathering data, and everything
is about ready for the actual
campaign to assure the plan to
begun.
Twenty of the most influential
men of the county have decided
that Decatur county needs a
plant and that if will be ready
by fall. This guarantees the
farmers that the plant will be
ready for them in time to care
of the hogs they are now raising.
The highest market prices will
be paid for hogs and cattle at
all times. Those behind the
movement to build the plant
are anxious to impress on the
neccessity of having hogs ready
for market twelve months in the
year. It will be impossible for
the plant to take care of all the
hogs ‘ uecatur and surrounding
cuunties can raise in the three
fall months. But if the hogs
are divided between the twelve
months of the year it will be an
easy matter for the plant to
handle them all at a profit, both
to the farmer and the plant its
self.
