Miss Tattler Says
That Christ; >s will soon
be here, and she hopes
YAasomebody will remember
f* j her and give her a pretty
I I doll if they can get ac-
I M quainted with her in time.
That possum and ’simmons arc
ripe now, but “Macom” has com
pletely “skipped the country.”
That the time of year for wed
dings is around again, she believes.
That the senior editor of the
Breeze went to Waycross Tuesday
on business, he claimed, but she
thinks he went to John Robinson’s
circus to “see the elephant.”
That it is some people’s chief
delight to tarnish and expose to
vile the goodness of others.
That of all tilings in the world
that she despises most, it is a hate
ful tale-bearer that has a tale that
never ends.
That the Bible says that “favor
is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but
a woman that feareth the Lord,
shall he praised.” She’s triad of
that,
That ever since she was a child,
she has been taught that “wine is
a mocker, strong drink is raging,
and whosoever is deceived thereby,
is not wise.” Now don’t get de
ceived and prove yourself to be a
fool during the holidays.
That she hopes the “fool-killer”
will not get in on time during tho
holidays, for there might he a great
slaughter in Douglas.
That Capt Smith, the Air Line
conductor, has been crying out for
turkeys for Cristinas, but he has
failed to get any, so he will have
to do like herself, eat ’possum and
’simmons Christmas day.
New Face at the Window.
Postmaster Finley has secured the
services of Mrs. Comas, well known
to our people, as his assistant at the
post office. Mrs. Comas will doubt
less find her work perplexing until
she becomes used to it, and if the
wrong paper or letter happens in
your box say nothing wrong, hut
return it to the office and it will he
put in its right place, and if any
one happens to get your letter from
a box they will coufer a favor on
the postmaster and the lady by re
turning it like wise. Alistakes will
happen, even in our own private
affairs, and where the letters of one
thousand people and the transfer
mail for a dozen offices all come in
a bulk, to be opened while an im
patient public is rattling box keys
and calling for mail, once in a while
little errors will creep in. We hope
Air. Finley will find in Airs. Comas
an assistant whose services cannot
he dispensed with, and that while
the public shall find a faithful official
in the little sad faced woman she
will he pleased with the despensa
tion of God which places her where
she is to-day.

Some Corrections In Leeal Adver
tising-
Objection was made to A. J.
(ones as administrator on estate of
A. Brown.
Dr . Jefferson Wilcox was not re
lieved of guardianship of Phillips
minor children, but “received,”
and is now in discharge of his
duties.
Only “half” the timber on lot
515 and 516 in the 6th district will
he sold in January/
Air. J. J. Phillips takes his mail
at Ambrose, Ga., in the future.
Stole a Mall Pouch-
Last Monday morning at Hazle
hurst a negro snatched the mail
pouch from the early morning train
and ran to a nearby pond and cut
it open with an ux. He was caught
in the act and dropped it and ran.
Blood hounds have been sent for

Can You Help This Young Man.
Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 23 —Ed-
itors Douglas Breeze, “I am the
only one in this school from our
county and desire your aid in the
Atlanta Journal’s contest for the
; five students that are to represent
this school at the inauguration of
the President. Hoping that you
will do me this favor, 1 remain,
Yours Very Respectfully,
(Cadet) Ika F. Wilcox.
AL G. AL and A. College.”
The readers of the Breeze know
this young man, better than we do,
and they being readers of the Atlan
ta Journal who proposes to send
young men from five colleges who
receive the most votes (coupons in
the Journal each issue) to Wash
ington in March, should not fail to
send in all the coupons they can
secure. He will make a good rep
resentative, and the county should
have one ou that trip.
Nichols News Notes-
Your reporter lias been so busy
lately attempting to attend most of
sugar-cane grinding and sugar
boilings until he can’t get time
to write much.
Mrs. Missouri Meeks had the
sad misfortune last Sunday to lose
her nice dwelling house and all of
the small out-houses, by flames.
It is thought by many that the
house was set on fire by rats.
The Nichols young people are
having the most joyous time imag
inable boiling syrup and pulling
candy.
The cane-grinders extend Miss
Tattler a most cordial invitation to
attend the frolic and drink all the
juice she wishes, if she will only
make herself known on her arrival.
It seem* that the store-keepers
are busy selling Christmas goods
now-a-days.
M.
Our Municipal Affairs-
To-day is the time for electing a
new or re-electing the old city
fathers for the coming year. We
believe the latter would he the pro
per course to pursue. And the
Breeze cannot see where a change
could he made for a better adminis
tration of the affairs of the town.
The present council has done a good
deal of valuable work, and have had
to do so under s'otne difficulties.
There may he some slight changes
made in the alderinanic board, but
we have heard of no opporsition,
as a whole, to either the mayor or
aldermen.
Since the above was in type, at
a meeting last Thursday night, the
following ticket was nominated:
For Alayor—W. P. Ward.
For Aldermen —F. L. Sweat,
W. O. Paxson, N. T. Creel, J. R.
Overman, J. W. Williford.
Thes**re s all good men, and if
elected will give the people satisfac
tion. In this case, as the old coun
cil is composed ot good men, no
mistake will be made i* to-inorrows
election.
