receive no attention. If you do
not think enough of what you
write to sign your name to it we
will not think enough of it to pay
any attention to such manu
scripts. 7-3-tf.
Boost the fair.
Boost the best county in the
state.
The various candidates are not
a bit bashful about their claims.
They do say that “Bunk”
Cooper threatens to carry a
county!
The weather is mighty hot for j
the candidates to be coming
down the home stretch.
T. W. Hardwick’s opposition to
the parcels post will lose him
thousands of votes.
Commerce is next to Valdosta
in the per capita wealth of its
citizens. It is first in hospitality, j
Little Joe stands for the su
premacy of the law. That is a
mighty good platform for any
candidate.
The announcement of Judge C..
L. Bartlett, made this week, will!
add interest to an already excit-;
ing campaign.
With watermelon and camp
meeting time on hand the people j
up here in God’s country will be j
well entertained for the next few;
weeks.
While Rufe Hutchens is not
saying much he is sawing wood
right along and when all the
votes are counted he is going to
surprise somebody.
If talk is worth anything Judge
Nat Harris is a sure winner. He
is waging an active campaign
and though the oldest man in the
race he is covering a lot of terri
tory.
Butts county has already be
gun preparations for a fair to be
held this fall in the city of Jack
son. We are sorry that Jasper
county can not do likewise.—
Monticello News.
It is too bad that *‘5500,000,000
is available for immediate use,”
but that your Uncle Reuben can’t
get a cent of it until it trickles
down through the various chan
nels, costing him the same old
rate.
Why shouldn’t the farmer be
able to borrow money as cheap
as any other class? That
‘‘l want your vote but not your
note” letter promises to make
history before the chapter is
closed.
Biennial sessions of the legisla
ture, four year terms for officers
and the salary system will im
prove things in Georgia wonder
fully. The state is afflicted with
too much politics, too many poli
ticians and demagogues.
More important to the people
of Butts county than the sena
torial, gubernatorial or any other
campaign is the election of the
proper man for representative
and senator from this district.
Jasper county is still fighting to
have the boundary line between
Butts and Jasper changed. In
case the line is changed it will
mean a heavy financial loss to
the citizens here. The people of
Butts ought to elect her very
best men to the House and Sen
ate, for thev have a man-sized
job ahead of them.

months, Mrs. Annie Farrell died

Mrs. J. H. Price, in Pepperton

summer with her son in Valdos
ta and while there contracted fe
ver which proved fatal after a
lingering illness.

had many friends who regretted
to learn of her passing. She was
a member of the Baptist church
and an estimable Christian char
acter.
A son, T. R. Farrell of Valdos
to, and a daughter, Mrs. J. H.
Price of Pepperton are the sur
viving relatives.
The funeral was held at the
residence Saturday afternoon at
2 o’clock. Dr. R. VanDeventer
conducted the services and inter
ment was in the Pepperton cem
etery.
In their sorrow the family have
the sympathy of their friends.
Rather sell my goods than
move them. Taylor.
State Politics
Has Strong Hold on People.
Macon County Citizen: ‘‘‘Lit
tle Joe’ has a very strong hold on
the affections of the people and
has the confidence of many thou
sands of the voters, especially in
the rural districts. These have
always given him their support,
and they will do so again. This
is a vote which does not make a
loud demonstration until election
day. ’ *
One Sure Winner.
Hawkinsville Dispatch and
News: “While there is a diver
sity of opinion as to who will be
the successful candidates for oth
er offices, every one admits that
Judge Nat Harris has a strong
lead for governor and is sure to
be elected.”
Can’t Find the Opposition.
Waycross Journal: “We un
derstand,” says the Dublin Cou
rier, “that the biggest trouble
Hoke Smith’s campaign mana
gers are having just now is the
job of locating the opposition.”
Little Joe Some Runner.
Greensporo Herald - Journal:
“Little Joe can outrun anything
except a cucumber vine.”
No Money on Farm Property.
Macon Telegraph: “Much of
the boasting about ‘Rural Cred
its,’ ‘Loans to Farmers,’ etc.,
were punctured in Atlanta a few
days ago when four different
banks refused to loan money on
‘farm property’ without regard
to collateral.”
The Light Is Breaking.
Greensboro Herald - Journal:
“The great and immortal truth
is beginning to bore its way into
the knot on the top-end ef some
people’s neck that ‘Little Joe’ is
going to be elected.”
Where Is Rube?
Macon Telegraph: “Rube Ar
nold is awfully quiet during the
present campaign. Is he still
istening for the master’s voice?”
Go to see Taylor, he will make
you some good prices as he had
rather sell his goods than move
them.
PLENTY OF FRUIT FINOS
WAY TO CITY MARKETS
Atlanta, Ga., July 30. —This
has truly been a season of plenty
so far the watermelon, peach and
canteloupe crop has been con
cerned. There have been com
plaints of bad crops, but never j
in years has Atlanta had such a j
supply of these delicacies and at
such prices.
It has been an especially happy;
year for the Decatur street negro,
chief consumer of the watermel
on, and an especially hard one on
the managers of the much abus
ed new Atlanta crematory. The
crematory, designed to burn all
the city’s garbage, balked abso
lutely on a carload of watermelon
rinds at one swallow, and is clos
ed down for repairs.
