CHIPLEY, GA. COL. PEAVY ADMIT LEO 10 LAW PRACTICE. The many friends of Col J. B. Peavy will be pleased to learn toat he has successfully passed the StaUBti Examination and has been admitted t<> the practice of law in Georg.a He has formed a partnership with his brolher-in -law, Col, A L Hardy, and will be located in Hamilton. Since coming to Harris County, Mr. Peavy’s career has been re¬ markable in many "-espeets. With¬ out co lege training, he volunteer¬ ed to enter the training camp at Ft M< Pi'trson at the beginning of the late War, where lie won a Com nwssson as Second Lieutenant" He went from there to France, where he was twice wounded, gassed once; was recommended for a Cap¬ taincy more than once ; was recom¬ mended for a Majority by his superior officers; won the Distin¬ guished Set t ic- Cross for valor and aeqiuitted himselt with distinction as a soldier from this County. Mi Peavy has spent not more than six months reading law in the office of t ol. Hardy ; and it is considered remarkable that he stood the examination for the Bar aftergoing through the experiences of War, which, to say the least, were cu cuiaied to drive out the memory of law and every other study save that of the stern thought of duty as a soldier. He stood the examination belore Judge G. H. H ward in Columbus.

WALKER D. HINES. Utrttfr Gtneral o/ Kmilrtads* Work more — r~ I Produce more — Save more — But we can’t continue increasing our production unless we continue increasing our railroad facilities. The farms, mines And factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity. Without railroad expansion—more en¬ gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter¬ minals—there can be little increase in production. I3ut this country of ours is going to keep right on growing—and the railroads must grow with it. To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities—and so increase production — there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads. The nation’s business can grow only as fast as the railroads grow. S r (m admtiAement i& published by the Stssociatipa ofShuluxuj %xeaitiwe&.
