FLO VILLA NO. 1
Miss Vera Treadwell, of Indian
Spring, is the guest of Mrs.
Evan Smith.
Rev. Mr. Linkus, of Fitzger
ald. is spending a few days with
Mr! J. 0. Cole.
Mr. W. J. Webb, of Locust
Grove, spent Sunday with Mr.
W. H. Vickers.
Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. Duke spent
last Saturday and Sunday at
Jenkinsburg with friends.
Mr. Robert Henderson spent
last Wednesday in Macon buying
fixtures for his ice business.
We direct the Commissioners’
attention to a broken plank in
bridge near Mr. N. K. Wicker’s
residence.
Hon. Walter Wise, of Fayette
county, was in our vicinity last
week in the interest of his can
didacy for the Solicitor’s office.
Mr. Wise has many strong
friends here.
Mr. Van White, one of No. l’s
sterling young farmers, has dem
onstrated to the young men ‘ ‘that
there is more in the man than
there is in the land.” Our
younger farmers will profit by
following his examples as a
farmer.
Mrs. 0. E. Smith received
news a few days since of the
serious illness of her uncle, ex-
Senator S. G. Treadwell, of Dal
ton. Mr. Treadwell will be re
membered by many of the older
citizens of Butts county, having
resided here when a young man.
Does Mr. Bartlett really mean
to give us that anti-jug law, or
is he just joking? What do you
say? Now is the time to speak
or forever hold your peace on
the subject. This might be the
great good he could do the coun
try with a Democratic house.
We sympathize with Mrs. C.
L. Maddox in the death of her
father, Mr. Wesley Lemon. Mr.
Lemon was possessed of many
noble traits of character, having
been a consistent member of
Pleasant Grove church from boy
hood. We can truly say a good
man has entered into the haven
of rest.
Mr. Will Thomas, of Newton
county, visited his mother last
Sunday. Mr. Thomas is one of
Butts county’s old boys whom
she should be justly proud of.
He now ranks among Newton
county’s largest farmers. You
can just keep your eye on the
Butts county boys, they will take
the lead wherever they cast their
lot.
There has been a question
sprung in Butts county as to
whether the Hon. C. L. Bartlett
offered any aid to the Union
News when the postal authorities
endeavored to keep it from cir
culating as second class mail
matter. Perhaps some of the
correspondents of the county can
give the desired information.
We don’t want to do Mr. Bartlett
an injustice, but would like to
have the facts in the case so we
can put him in the right attitude
before the people, and especially
the Farmers Union men of the
county. .
What has become of our cor
respondents’ picnic? We should
not let it die down. Let’s keep
writing and talking about it.
How would it suit the staff to
hold our picnic near the great
plant which is being built on the
river. No doubt the correspon
dents would enjoy a day out
here viewing the work. And
there is one of the prettiest
groves you ever saw near the
place owned by our esteemed
friend, Mr. B. T. Deason. I
know he would gladly allow us
the use of it. It is where the
Maddox family hold their annual
reunion.
Some writer once said, “young
man, go west and grow up with
the country.” Now, as time
changes everything, we are
ready to say, “young man, come
east.” We have greater induce
ments to offer you than the emi
nent writer offered you to go
west. We have cheap lands that
are capable of growing anything
that man or beast can consume,
besides our magnificent forests
which have grown up since the
war, when east Butts was the
richest portion of the county.
Above all, our fine water falls
which have been dormant since
Sherman’s destructive march to
the sea, will soon be whirling
thousands of spindles, manufac
turing every pound of cotton
grown in Butts and adjacent
counties. I doubt whether Fall
River has any better powers than
nature blessed us with on the
Ocmulgee. There are yet two
more large plants to be built in a
radius of four miles of the one
just started.
