Editor Ernest Gamp, of the Walton Tribune, asserts that the Monroe girls are pretty by the square foot. Editor John Shannon, of the Commerce News, insists that the Commerce girls are pretty by the square inch. Coving ton girls are pretty any way you take them.—Covington News. Editor Camp, of the Walton Tribune, says Monroe has all soils of chickens.—< ’onyers Times. We can easily foresee the big gest gathering of Georgia editors in Monroe that the state has ever seen —Marietta Journal. Editor Jack Patterson has greatly improved the Covington News, and the merchants of that town should show their apprecia tion by acording him a more lib eral advertising patronage. Cov ington has a fine set of business men but apparently most of them are hiding their lights under a bushel. Be liberal with your news your sake and its sake and the paper, Mr. Merchant, not only for town’s sake, but for the sake of the outside world which largely gauges your standing and activi ties by the showing you make in its columns. —Walton Tribune.

Ticket Comm. TO THE VOTERS OF BARROW COUNTY. The information has reached me that a member of people in the < 'ounty have expressed the idea that it would be much better to continue the lease of the present Coprt House at SIOOO per year than to build anew Court House. That no one may be mislead in voting next Saturday upon tlie is suance of bonds for the Court House, I want to advise that the (’ounty cannot re-lease the pres ent building for anything like SIOOO per year after the lease ex pires in January 1921. 1 have never considered that the Sharpton estate has received a reasonable rental from this build ing and i could not afford to agree to a continuance of the present lease.
