spot in the course of time.
Our county doesn't,feel any small
er than it felt last year and nobody
has noticed it shrinking up to any ap
preciable extent, but according fo the
tax books thpre are just 18,819 acres
of Jand. Jekd'in the eounty this year
than at the same period of .7915,
And .that does no£ tell all of the
story; fpr last year’s returns show-
ed'17,388.acre's were lost. ...»
For .the- past two yC&rs," the Board
or Tax Equalizers lias been going
Very 'carefully over the property re
turns and checking up the lands not
returned. Last year it was. fqund
that there was 17,338 acres not-re-
burned. Before the close of the books
nearly all of this was accounted for.
■This year,,in going over the books,
cheeking back against the number of
land lots and the number each should
contain it is estimated‘that' 86,157
acres have not been returned. A few
of these small tracts have been re
turned since the list given below was'
made out, but when the reports were
firdt made by the Board of Equalizers
the Districts with the number acres
not returned were: Brighton, 4,838;
Brookfield, 2,914; Docia, 3,399;
Chula, 3,798; Eldorado, 1,898;
Omega, 2,336; Ty Ty, 6,703; Tifton,

NEW JUDICIAL CIRCUIT HERE
Atlanta, Ga„ June 7.—While it is
seldom that a congressman or a' can
didate for eongresa attracts much at
tention outside his own particular dis
trict, .Judge*W. Ei' Thomas, of Val-
dgsta, has injected, a feature in his
platform wffich has been the Subject
of statewide comment, especially
smonf the farmers. ;»• r ' **
It is the question of the right soft
of a marketing bureau, one that will
rc/ider efficient service, judge Thom
as doeb not believe enough strenuous
work has beep done'in this direction,
and he expresses confidence that with
the proper’effort, a marketing agency
can be established that will’ do the
work. *
Judge Thomas says the producers
of the South have been working too
long now for the benefit and enrich
ment of the eastern manufacturers.
He has investigated the situation,
particularly with regard to the prb-
ducts of his own.section, %nd is now
working on what As proposes shall be
a practical plan to bring about better
marketing conditions for these as well
as for other agricultural products
of Georgia and the south.
If Judge Thomas’ plan works out,
it will be far more- than a loeal affair.
SHERIFF’S SALES TUESDAY.
O.nly three pieces of property of

Another surrey levied on as the
property of Mrs. M. D. Whiddon un

The story is of a little girl yihoso

Cunard who made such a hit in the
Broken Coin.
Lnter in life many incidents close
about the heroine of the rinf, but the
pictures must be seen to appreciate
what wonderful exactness a mam

the minuteness of life as it is lived
by circus performers.

DISTRICT AGENT’S REPORT
Mr. W. D. E. Allen, special rep-

quarters in Jacksonville, was in Tif
ton Tuesday. Mr. Allen usually trav
els the Florida territory, but a special
^rlp was made through here to in
quire into the melon and cantaloupe
businesi.
Mr. Allen says that although the
acreage Is limited, the cantaloupe
and melon crop through this section
are the best for years. He had been
through Lowndes, Brooks, Thomas,
Mitchell, -Grady and a portion of
Tift counties and pronounces the out
look remarkable for crops of aU
kinds, Including melons, sugar-cane,
corn and cotton.
“I have traveled over the best ag
ricultural states in the union,” said
Mr. Allen, ” and I have never seen
anything to equal your section for
resources for diversification of crops.
Your people can raise anything they
want to, and I expect in a few years,
when you hsve solved your market
