All at Home Once More.
Forune or fate, or the goodness
of God, has sent all the children to
our old home on Gaskin avenue.
All four of our daughters are at
home at one time this week. One
of them Dollie, has never married
and we hope never will, has never
been away, but the others, Agnes,
Mattie and Euola have, but they
arc at home again. This may never
be again, in our day, therefore, we
make a note, and rejoice in the
goodness of God.
Perhaps we do not deserve all
that God gives us, the many bless
ings that come our way, but we are
thankful anyway.
Yes, we love to see all the girls
at home, hear them talk, after sup
per, as they huddle around their
mother, and tell about how they
missed us and how they got home
sick. How they got the children
ready for tt.e trip “home,” and the
train seemed to be lagging behind.
But, then, there were only three
of those girls and now—bless your
life, there is one boy and four girls !
And you ought to see and hear
them all try to talk at one time—
that is, their mother’s talk and they
yell, squeal, laugh and make the
shingles on the roof rattle some-
time.
Yes, our girls are all at home
this week, thank the good Lord,
and as most of our readers know
the “printer girls” we want them to
know ail about it.
Coning to Investigate-
Mr. J. W. Crow, of Toledo,
Ohio, writes Mr. J. M. Jardine, of
this place that he and a party of
capitalists will leave that place
about the 18th, of October for a
tour of inspection in southern
Georgia. They will probably go
from Toledo to Atlanta ana from
Atlanta to Brunswick. From that
place their objective point will be
Coffee county. They have selected
this date, October 18th, for the be
ginning of their trip because it is
their -desire to strike this section
about “cane grinding time,” as the
real object of their visit is the
investigation of the syrup making
process with a view of entering in
to that important enterprise on a
large scale.
Calvin ward’s Majority.
In our last edition, copying from
a telephone report Mr. Denton hud
been using, we made Mr. C. A.
Ward’s majority about 300 less than
it should have been. His majority
was 985, about the largest ever giv
en a man in Coffee county, an able
and fitting attestation of the esteem
and confidence of the people for
one of the purest men in Georgia.

The ticket is a long one, carries

court judge and solicitor in the

amendments to the constitution
and is much longer than a column
of the Breeze.

To the Farmers-
The Southeastern Cotton Buyers’
Association last year sent out cir
culars stating that on account of
excessive amount of bagging which
had previously been put on cotton
at the gins, and the fact that spin
ners had been billing back to the
cotton merchants amount of excess
bagging and ties above six yards of
bagging and six ties to the b.tle ;
that all of the firms belonging to
the Association ■ would hereafter
put a penalty of not less than 50c
per bale upon any bale which had
upon it above six yards of bagging
and six bands. This penalty to be
increased according to the amount
of excess bagging there may be
above six yards and six bands so
allowed,
New Arrangements at the Post Office.
Postmaster Touchton is getting
things in good shape at the Doug
las Post Ooffice, and in order to
wait upon the public with more
satisfaction the office is divided in
to three departments, as follows :
Miss llortense Briggs is general
delivery clerk. Miss Minnie Mc-
Cormick is stamp and money order
clerk, and Mr.—Oxford is mailing
clerk. The department does not
pav enough for clerk hire to em
ploy this extra help, but Mr. Touch
ton says the demands of the public
require it, and the public must be
taken care of at this post office.
