A CARO EROM MR A. C. TOWNS
To the voters of Troup county;
Four years ago I asked the voters
of Troup county to support me tor
Ordinary. More than one thousand
of you cast your ballots for me I
want to again assure you of my high
appreciation for that loyal and un¬
wavering support at that time, and
earnestly request you to give me your
influence and support again iu my
race for Ordinary.
There were many good men for va
rious reasons of their own, who did
not vote for me in the last election:
however, I hope to bring my candida¬
cy before the voters at this time in
such a way as to not ouly gain the
support of many of those who opposed
me, but also to merit their support
and influence.
One ot the reasons I ran for Ordi¬
nary four years ago. was that I thought
that 12 was enough and
16 years too long for one man to hold
public office. I am still ofthat opin.
ion, and not believe that any man
should hold office continuously foa a
period of 20 years. One of the fun
damental principals of our form of
government is the rotation of officers
If elected Ordinary I promise a
clean and efficent administration of
the affairs of the office. Again thank
ing you for your consideration and
earnestly soliciting your support in
my present race, 1 beg to remain.
Very respectfully,
* A. C. Towns,
Adv Candidate for Ordinary.

With the annoucunent of a two
million dollar approprition for the
promotion of education among
demobilized soldiers, saiiors
marines, the YMCA launhes the
greatest educational project in its
history and tne most far-reaching
single veuture since the war
Under this plan it is contemplat¬
ed that more than 40,000 free
schoolarships will be granted ex
service men opening new educa¬
tional opportunities in all lines
and with the best class of educa¬
tions institutions in ti e country
This work of study may be per
sued either by personal ottaiid
auce at some institution which
too student may elect with the
approval of the local Educational
Committee of the YMcA or by u
Correspondence Course in the As¬
sociated YMCA schools in New
York City. These schoo 8 are
among the largest and most
thorugh of theii kind in the world,
being posessed of a thoroughly
modern equipment in every way
and having a stuff of hundreds of
trained and experienced educators.
The apportioning of the two
million dollar fund among the
Various states has been made upon
i basis of twvjeents per capita of
the state’s population according
to the census of 1910. It is de¬
signed to spend this money as far
as it is practicable among the
various counties of each state at
the same per capita ratio.
This fund for the State of Geor¬
gia umounts to $57,000.00. Add¬
ed to it will between five and and
six thousand dollars more for
college and university scholar¬
ships alone. - These last will be
granted in sums not to exceed
$500 00 for any one scholarship
The general fund of $57,000. is
available in sums of not to exceed
$200,00 for any one man and de¬
signed to aid men in Correspond¬
ence Courses, business or commer¬
cial study and short term courses
in mechanical and agricultural
pursuits. In Georgia, due to the
fucts that some eighty per cent
of her seivice men come from
(arms to which they have return¬
ed, specia attention will be given
to promoting training in all
branches of agriculture.
These scholarships are available
as long as the funds hold out to
discharged service men, Americans
who served with our Allies, or to
sous of American who died in
se rvice during the war. Ai plica¬
tions must be made and all grants
given betore September 30th,
1920. The scholarship need not
be used, however, before that date
but is good until June 1921. The
requirements are simply that a man
be honorably discharged, that

three miles north of LaGrange. He

farmer and citizen, and invites the
voters to examine him up and down,
and all the way around, before reach¬
ing a decision as to w bom they w ill
choose for the office, because- he is
persuaded by his friends that such an
examination will result in his elec¬

This community was saddened
again Monday morning by the
news that Miss Vena Knowles, a
former pupil of our sbool, died
Sunday at the home of her father,
Mr. A. B. Knowls, in Columbus
after a lingering illnes3 of several
months.
Her remains were brought here
for funeral services und interment
Monday at eleven o’clock. The
service were coundueted by Rev
Flanders, pastor of the Methodist
church. Besides her father she
left one brother and many other
relatives and friends to mourn
her untimely death. She was
only fifteen years old but a con¬
sistent member of St.Luke church
Columbus. A tender plant has
been cut down, we know not why,
but it serves to track us all that
life is very uncertain and death
is sure.
Rev.J. W. Smith preached his
farewell sermon to his church here
last Sunday night the people were
loath to give lim up but they
wish him much success in his new
field of work.
Mr. H. M. Hobbs has been on
the sick list this week but is im¬
proving.
Miss Annie Florrie William has
retuned from the hospitulin Rome
much impromed.
The weather man seemes to
have lost control of “guesses.”
The cold east wind is hard of
the eyes but the sight of the Sun
would heal them.
