J J TAYLOR MOVES
HIS STORE
j J Taylor has moved his store
No. I and also >tore No. *2 to the*
buildings owned hy him hut former
ly occupied hy Jackson Furniture
Co., and H. Augustine.
These stores a re connected bya large
oner, arched door in front. Plac
ing his large drygoods and grocery
business side hy side and making it
much more convenient for him.
Both rooms have been overhauled
and repainted and present an ele
gant appearance. Mr. Taylor *s
one of the largest and wealthiest
merchants in this part of the
country.
Besides these two stores he lias
smother filled with a large stock of
all kinds of hardware and farming
implements. Mr. Taylor has been
in the merchandise business in our
city for nearly thirty years, and we
venture to say that no man has
done more for Cochran and Bleck
ley ( 'utility than Joe Taylor. He
is widely known all through this
section and during his long, busi
ness career lie iias helped scores of
men to get on their feet. We have
•often heard it said that Joe Taylor
doits the largest business with the
least friction of any man in the
county. Such men are always real
factors in the upbuilding of their
community.
He has the reputation of being
lenient uii in.- ereitii customers in
stead of hard on them yet he has
l»een successful, as it >s our infor
mation that he is the largest tax
.-jmrer in'the county.
TWO HUSTLING SALESMEN
Messrs. A. J. Yearty and E. C.
Kder lelt Cochran Tuesday morn
ing to solicit business for ihe Macon
Fertilizer Co. Mr. Yearty covers
several counties surrounding Bleck
ley and Mr. Elder works South
Georgia and parts of Fla. Both of
these men are "hustlingsalesmen.”
Mr. Yearty is now one of the
oldest salesmen for this firm (we of
course mean the oldest in service)
and holds the record for selling
more tons than anyone else.
Mr. Eider has been connected
with this firm only a short time
but la* had splendid experience as
a travelling salesman before he ac
cepted his present position and is
one of the very best men on the
road.
We are glad that these enterpris
ing men make Cochran their home.
Mr. Elder has lived in larger cities
but says lie would rather live here
than anywhere he has ever lived,
which certainly speaks well of our
little city as a home town.
MOVES TO COCHRAN
Col. A. C. Ba{ford and family
k-ft this week to make their home
in Cochran. Col. Saflohl will con
tinue the practice of law in the new

scientious attorney, and carries
with him the esteem and good
wishes of a host of friends in this
jiiirt of the state. Col. Stallings is
* young lawyer of great promise
and also leaves a large circle of
.friends in this county.
We commend them to the kind
consideration of the citizens of
Cochran and Bleckley county. —

IMPROVEMENTS AT
SOUTHERN RAILWAY
The Southern Railway Company
has contracted with the City of Coch
ran for their water supply at this
station.* They will erect a water
tank at the cost of about $3500 00
and will p:y the City something
like 8125.00 per month to furnish
the water. This will he a right nice
income for the City and will be
greatly to the interest of the Rail
road as the arrangement will do
away with the necessity of a pump
ing station here and give them a
constant supply of water.
The tank will he placed near the
depot so it will he convenient to
passenger trains when they stop at
the station.
They are also building a house
track on the east side of the depot
which will he more convenient to
themselves and their patrons.
JA< KSON FURNITURE CO
Since the Jackson Furniture
Company has moved into their new
quarters they have one of the nicest
furnituie establishments in this
part of Georgia, Their large and
up-to-date stock fills four rooms
about 25x20. Their stock is taste*
fully arranged. The four glass
front display windows reach almost
to the floor, placing almost the en
tire stock on the two lower floors in
view fioin the side walk.
The ground floors are connected
hy two large arch doors and both
rooms are heated hy a large hand
some base burner heater v <
rooms are well lighted
lights in each room
elevator in the rear.
Altogether this establishment
would do credit to a much larger
city than Cochran.

from Abbeville was in the city pros
pecting this week. Come on Mr
