THEY COME AND GO.
Miss Louise Pickett has just re
turned from a visit to Dawson.
Mr. E. W. Oliver, Ty Ty's only and
original druggist, is at home again
after a little visit to Atlanta..
Mr. W. R. Johnson, who has a saw
mill in Colquitt county, spent a few
days with his family last week.
7 Major Pelham, who comes to
Worth county every fall to look after
his business interests^ was in Ty Ty
last week.
Mrs. Hattie Oliver has returned
to her home in North Georgia after
a visit to relatives here. Miss Oliver
is a sister of Mrs. E. W. Oliver.'
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Parks, of Jack
sonville, have been visiting Mr.
Park’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. B.
Parks, and 1 , other relatives and
friends.
Lota of people now living remem
ber when a trip from here to Albany
meant two days travel. Mrs. W. C.
Thompson made the trip a few days
ago, did some shopping and got home
in one morning. Mrs. Aaron Forks,
also, made a trip to Albany in about
the same time.
Mrs. Albert Nelson and her two
little girls, who have been visiting
Mrs. Nelson’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. E. Williams, and other relatives
>snd friends here, have returned to
their home in Birmingham, Ala.
Their visit was longer than at first
intended as Mr. Nelson was called
West after they left home.
Mr. W. E. Williams insists that
Ty Ty is as good a market for cotton
as any in Georgia, and better than
any in South Georgia, and he gives
some very convincing figures to prove
it. Some people think that Tifton
nan, whoso office, warehouse, and so
on, are under the big oak tree, has
helped the price along considerably.
But farmers are not troubling them
selves about the cause, so long as
they have been getting from four
teen to sixteen and a fraction.
TEMPERANCE.
about, of course, by the climate and
other natural conditions. This is
how we acquire so many ancestor*
living at the same time. This being
as the Margrave of Azilia called it,
"the most delightful country of the
universe,” we never get "weary of
breath," but just go right on living.

There is no drunkenness in Ty Ty
now, and none of the vices that go
with that condition, and very few
drunkards are growing up. In anoth
er generation the number willlb sHll
further reduced, and gradually this
evil will disappear. When whiskey
is so hard to get, "treating,” that
fruitful source of intemperance, is
very little practiced, and boys are not
taught to drink. Recognising this
fact, an effort was once made by
some of the temperance people of
Southwest Georgia to organize an
“Anti-Treat Society," but the effort
failed. It required the strong arm
of the law to fo.ee people to be tern-
prate. Local option was not enough,
and prohibition is not too much.
If the liquor people and th?ir
friendi expect their interests to be
served by the Governor-elect of Gear
gia, they arc probably doomed to dis
appointment. No intelligent person,
even one opposed to Georgia's prohi.
bitlon law, can fail to see the wonder

. . When a truck load of packages,
easily recognised as whiskey, was tak
en from a train in Ty Ty a few days
ago, a jusUarrtved passenger wasl
somewhat scandalized by the quanti
ty; but on that very day the Tifton
Gazette reported about eight ‘imes
that quantity received in Tifton by
one train.
Now Tifton is probably eight times
the sizo of Ty Ty, but the number of
trains arriving there, in excess of
those which reach Ty Ty, will more
than make up the difference. So
Ty Ty is nO more than her neighbors.
Nevertheess, Mr. J. B. Hollins-

A SEMI-PHILANTHROPIST.
Within the past year, Ty Ty has
received several very desirable new
citiiens, and these men and their
families had to wait until some semi-
philanthropist built houses for them
for most of the people live in thei
own houses and seem to expect otk
ers to do the same. Mr. W.
Sykes has made provision recently
for two families, having just com
pleted two neat and comfortable
bungalows on the “South Side,’’ and
rented them.
This is well, and let us hope that
the good work will go on till it will
not be necessary for new-comers to
be obliged to go running about seek
ing shelter. Professor Grlner, prin
cipal of the Ty Ty school, came last
week with his family and household
goods, to take possession of one of
Mr. Sykes’ houses, but it was not
quite finished; so, leaving his house
hold goods, he went with bis family
to visit relatives in Berrien county.

GRANDPARENTS GALORE.
One of the most talkcd-of persons
in Ty Ty just now is the newly ar
rived daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Al
bert Lyle.
She is all a baby ought to be, of
course, but what makes her especially
interesiing is the fact thst she haa
nine living grandparents. There is
one great-great grandmother, the
grand-mother of her grandfather
Lyle; then there aro four great-grand
parents—Mr. and Mrs. Culpepper on
pro. the father's side, and Mr. and Mrs.

these quarts would be gallons—and th . mother—and four grandparents.

that percentage would lack consider,

temperance. And that is a most ex

As our school opens again October
2nd, it should behoove each and ev
ery one of us to get ready for the
opening (the first day) as that means
much to each pupil to be on hand the
first day.
The teachers cannot make a suc
cessful school, however efficient, un
less we have the co-operation of the
trustees first and then the patrons.
Let’s unite and make this the best
school year, by bringing our children
