He was recently elected President of the Butts County Chamber of Com merce, and is the man at this hour to be our mayor. Mr. McKibben and Mr. Ham are both good men, and are familiar with city affairs.

BUTTS AND JASPER BOUNDS BEING SURVEYED Work Commenced This Week to Establish Def inite Boundary—Gover nor Ordered It. * Governor Slaton has ordered a survey made of the line between Butts and Jasper counties. The purpose of the survey is to establish a .correct line between the counties, to settle the strife and suits over taxes that has existed ever since Jasper first tried to rob Butts coun ty of her rightful taxes. JasjJbr county hascontended that the east bank of the river was not the correct line, and has held up the taxes for that reason. The controversy never started until the taxes from the big dam were paid and it seems that the attempt is only a result of Jasper’s inordinate avarniciousness- The survey will begin in the lower part of the county and will take in the space occupied by the big dam. There is little doubt but that Butts will be sustained, and the line remain the same GRUNT PARK LION CUBS GROWING VICIOUS AS THEY GROW OLDER Atlanta, Ga. —That you can’t makFa pet kitten out of an Afri can 1 n cub simply from feeding it 011 mi.k from a bottle and stroking its head, lias been once more dem onstry-d at Grant Park, The pretty lion cubs, which a iiionllijago were safe pets for a hu man baby to roll over and play with on the door, are becoming dangerous, and will soon be more than a match for the strongest grown man. Their claws and teeth are growing longer, and their jung le instincts are beginning to show themselves. The milk diet has been replaced by small scraps of meat, which they grab ravenously with their little paws, and tear and snarl over for all the world like tlieir full grown parents. Grant Park has been particularly successful in raising these cubs, which will be worth several thous and dollars each in a short while. v Fat Rome Bread. R. A. Franklin & Cos.
