SffKING INFORMATION.
Editor News; Please ex pres.-
your opinion about this:
Patricks school district has no
school house. If the compulsory
education law comes into effect who
will build a school house, or will it
force children to go where there are
houses? If there was no houses in
the country would we he forced to
take them to town? lam in favor
of education, for mine is very limit'
ed. But there are some poor peo
ple who can’t take their children a
long distance and they are Wo small
to work. What will he the result?

Under the terms of the hill, as in
troduced, only those children living
within three miles of a school house
will he forced to attend school, then
only for a period of three months
in the year- The bill as framed does
not cumtcmplatc the building of
•school houses, hut will operate to
force attendance. Under the Me-
Miehacl school law Patricks district
may vote local taxaction and share
in the funds set aside for the pur
pose of building school houses. If
Patricks district has no school house,
it seems to us that the interest of
the children in that section de
mands that one he speedily built,
We are no authority oil school law,

to Hon. B. D. Moore,(\>unty School

Confederacy, died at her home,
in Colorado, after an ill incss of six
months.
Mrs. Hayes, A J years old, was
the wife of J. Addison Hayes, presi
dent of the First National Bank, of
Colorado Springs.
Friends throughout the country
had gained the impression that Mrs.
Hayes suffered from cancer, but
the cause of her death was an
nounced by her attending physicians
as a complication of diseases.
Mrs. Hayes, the last of the family
of the only president of the Con
federacy, after the death of her
sister, Miss Winnie Davis, at Rich
mond, Va., made a trip through
South ajfew years ago when she was
made the “Daughti r of the (am
federancy’' in her sister's stead-
Her mother, widow of the southern

two years ago.
Mrs. Hayes is survived by two
sons, Jefferson Haves Davis and
William Haves, and two daughters,

Hayse Davis hears the name of his

Fitzgerald 1 went, to Alma, spending
two-days with kinfolks and friends.
While there 1 sure enjoyed myself
eating fine melons that weighed
from forty to sixty pounds. Such
melons 1 never saw. 1 saw land
that was taken in since Christmas
that I believe will make a thousand
pounds of seed cotton to the acre,
at least that is what is expected of
it. In Alma 1 saw the best corn
that 1 ever saw grow. There are
six acres in the lot that I do believe j
will make 100 bushels to the acre,
and a lot of two acres that will make

ARE YOU IN THE MAR
KET FOR A FARM?
If so we are the people you want
to see. We have been selling from
5 to 8,000 acres of land every year for
several years past, and always handle
(
farm lands that appeal to our custo
mers.
When you buy a farm you want
to get one in a healthy section, where
you have the best of school and church
facilities, kind neighbors, not too far
from market, strong and productive,
land, and land that will continue to
enhance in value.
Our farms offer you all of the
above advantages and many mere we
cannot take time to explain in this ad
vertisement;
Most of our farms are in Middle
NT
and Northeast Georgia, the paradise
of all the South, and a section of un
limited opportunities and possibilities.
During the past five years we have
sold more farms than any real estate
firm in Georgia, and we know of no
one in all this large number but who
has had the opportunity of making*
from 25 to 200 per cent on his invest
ment.
We have some very desirable
places for sale this year in Jackson,
Walton, Gwinnett, Oglethorpe, Greeny.
McDuffie, Talifario and other counties.
Farms ranging from 50 to 2,000 acres,
and prices and terms that leave no ex
cuse for the man who really wants a
home, or the man who wants to buv
t
for investment.
If you believe in DOING things
we will be glad to hear from you, show
you our bargains and give you any
information desired.
Write us what you want, where
you want it, and how many wish
to locate in same community. We
have some large tracts of land that can
be cut iute any size farms to suit pur
chaser.
