We are having to restrict our acre
age of cotton and it would be poor
judgment to try to defeat the pur
poses of this cotton reduction by in
creasing our yields per acre. But i'
is entirely legitimate to plant a bet
ter staple like Stoneville that wil
bring us more money for the same
amount of cotton.*
Everybody come that is interested
in better profits from our cotton
crop.

RETIRING MAYOR HAS
CARD OF APPRECIATION
—— I
To Councilmen Settle, Nutt, Moore
and Finley and city employees:
Gentlemen:
In severing my connection with
the City of Jackson, officially, I
! wish to express to you the high es
j teem and appreciation of having had
the pleasure of working with you for
the past three years.
These years have been the most
trying in the history of our little city,
strewn with many obstacles and pet
ty hinderances, rendering it hard to
carry on as we had hoped to do.
However, through untiring efforts
and extreme economy you have serv
ed the interest of the taxpayers well
and I most heartily congratulate you
or, the many achievements accom
plished without the necessary fi
nances, caused by the depression and
the people not being able to pay
their taxes.
I am particularly gratified to look
back over our official association
and recount the fact that there has
not been the slightest differenc nor
bickering which demonstrates the
fact that men can co-operate by ris
ing above selfish aggrandizement and
work for the interest of taxpayers
whom they represent.
If I can be of service to you in
any way, please do not hesitate to
command me.
Yours truly,
J. L. LYONS.

"HOM-ONb” STORE TO
OPiN HERE SATURDAY
SELF-SERVING, CASH STORE UN
DER OWNERSHIP OF H. L. AL
LEN WILL HAVE FORMAL OP
ENING FEBRUARY 10
Jackson’s latest business is Allen’s
“Hom-Ond” Food Store, which will
formally open its doors to the public
Saturday morning, Februax-y 10th.
The new store is located on Second
Street, and has been completely re
modeled throughout and new fixtures
placed as designed for all “Hom-
Ond” Food Stores.
The “Hom-Ond” is not new to the
people of this section as they are
located in Eatonton, Barnesville,
Griffin, Hampton, Atlanta and many
other places. These stores are not, as
some may think, chain stores. This
store is owned by Mr. Homer L. Al
len, a resident of Jackson. Mr. Allen
explained that a “Hom-Ond” Store
buys in conjunction with hundreds
of similar stores and has chain store
buying powei’, which will enable it
to put grocei'ies right down to rock
bottom prices, but is in every respect
a local institution and deserves the
support and patronage of people in
terested in the progress of local en
terprises. As most people know, the
“Hom-Ond” Store is of the self-serv
ing, cash variety. Every article is
labeled and priced. The customer
walks in, selects what she wants,
can-ies it to the cashier and pays
for it. ;
Mr. Allen extends a cordial invita
tion to every citizen of Jackson and
vicinity to attend the formal opening
Satui’day morning. He expects a
lai’ge number to inspect his new
place of business at that time.
Mr. H. L. Moody, from Atlanta
headquarters, is here supervising the
opening of the new store.
MR. JEFFERSON HAYES
PASSED AWAY TUESDAY
The death of Mr. Jefferson D.
Hayes, 46 years of age, occurred at
liis home near Jackson Tuesday night
at 9 o’clock. Death resulted after a
protracted illness.
Mr. Hayes, who was an esteemed
citizen of the county, is survived by
one daughter, Mrs. Mildred Piper,
of Henry county; five sons, James,
Emory, J. D. Jr., Ezra Hayes, of
Jackson, and Howard Hayes, of Por
terdale; three brothers, Carlton, of
Jackson, and G. H. and W. F. Hayes,
of McDonough. His wife preceded
him in death several years.
Funeral services were held Thurs
day afternoon at 2 o'clock at Mount
Bethel in Henry county, with Rev.
R. C. Owen, pastor of the Jenkins
burg Methodist church, officiating.
