Mr. and Mrs. Homer, Colwell are
happy over the new little daughter
who has come to bless their home.
Miss Hunt and Miss Reynolds are
at work planning for a beautiful ope
retta for Commencement. The com
bined latent of these artists assures
t in* city of a rare entertainmenU
'l’he announcement in this issue of
Mr. T. \V. Stedlmm for Tax Receiver
brings before the people one of the
good citizens of the county. His
friends will take pleasure in giving
him theiv hearty support in his race.
Mr. W. J. Wood, special agent for
the Prudential Life Insurance Com
pany, has paid two death claims re
cently, one in Macon and the other
in Jackson, within ten days after the
deaths of the insured parties. These
prompt pay meats make his company
vory popular with the people.
Mr. Bluina Carmichael had the
misfortune to receive a fall last Fri
day while rolling a game of ten
pins, breaking one ot the bones in
his leg six Indies above the foot. He
wasc. r ied to his home on Coving
ton street, where lie received skilled
attention, and since lias been getting
on nicely.
The announcement of Judge B. P.
Bailey for re-election to the Clerk’s
office assures us who will be the next
Clerk. Judge Bailey’s popularity is
based on his efficiency and his uni
form courtesy and kindness to the
people. No man is better known and
none better qualified to fill the office
he has so ably filled for several terms.
Congressman C. L. Bartlett, whose
name has been a household word in
the Sixth district for fourteen years,
announces in this issue as a candi
date for re-election. His card tells
in brief of bis stand for his home
people, his efforts for their good, the
many years lie has represented them.
He is a strong man and his friends
will give him strong support.
Mr. Edwards, or Macon, but for
the past several years an electrician
in New York city, has been elected
by the City Council to succeed Mr.
H. R. Poltitzer as Superintendent of
Watsr and Lights. He comes highly
endorsed, and is now busy with his
new duties in the city. Mr. Poljitzer
will continue to reside in Jackson
and engage in the plumbing business.
Tlie formal announcement of Mr.
J. A. McMichael, or Mr. “Reet” Mc-
Miclmel, as he is more familiarly
known, for Tax Collector, brings
into the political arena one of
the best known men in this
section. Reliable, painstaking and
conscientious in his official duties,
what better recommendation can be
given a man? He measures up to
that standard.
To introduce Col. Threatt Moore,
who announces this week as a candi
date for Representative in the Legis
lature, to the Butts county people,
would be like currying coal to New
castle. No introduction is needed,
for he was born and reared here, and
there is no one in this county who
does not know him as one of the most
highly gifted m ii, and one whose
big heart has won many friends who
would be glad to see him win the
race.
