There was an enthusiastic meet*

Club last week. Mrs. Holt of the

most of them, and, for those "built to
rent, tenants are always waiting?
The northern part of Ty Ty also
is improving. It is some higher, and
on that aeount, is considered by
those who live there as somewhat
more desirable for homes. But all
of Ty Ty is high and dry, and there
is really no choice as to locality.
SPEEDlNG r TH£ MAILS.
There was a lively mix-up or
Route 2 Tuesday, and almost a serf
ous accident
This is a motor route, and W. F.
Sikes is the carrier; but on this oc
casion, his brother, W. J. Sykes,
who is the substitute, wag carrying
the mail and driving a pair of horses,
The horses became frightened and
started to run. Mr. Sikes held them
until the bits broke, when, of course,
they became unmanagable. He was
thrown from the buggy, the pole was
broken and the horses ran for some
distance.
Mr. Sikes continued to hold the
fort, after he had picked himself up,
until Mr. E. J. Cottle happened
along in his automobile. Mr. Sikes
transferred himself and mail bags to
the car, the horses were captured, a
buggy borrowed, and the mail deliv
ered as usual.
Mr. Sikes was somewhat bruised
and his cye-gla*scs were broken, but
there were no other casualties except
a broken buggy.
in a few days, exterminating as many
as possible of next year's boll weevil
crop. Land that was planted in cot-
ton this year will be turned over as
soon as possible and sown in grain.
Mr. Butler executed the favorite
maneuver of the South Georgia
farmer this year, and "came out
ahead"—that' is, be paid up all his
debts and had a comfortable little
surplus to deposit in the bank.
This state of affafrB, all too un
usual a few years ago, is gradually
becoming the common thing, and the
indications are that in a few years
more our farmers will be paying as
they go with no gaunt specter of
debt waiting at the year’s end to
gobble up their earnings.
Mr. Butler says bis cotton was leas
damaged by boll weevils than by
rain.
THE BEST EVER.
The home of Mr. Edgar Jones,
southwest of Ty Ty, and not far
from town is about completed and
will be occupied by the family in
a few days. ,
Mr. Jones moved to this vicinity
several years ago, but after a few
years residence here he moved to
Cordele. It did not take him long
to decide that Tift county was best
of all.' Returning, he bought the
Te phus Parsons place on which he
has built a comfortable home.
IN HER OLD PLACE.
PAINFULLY HURT.
A somewhat serious accident hap
pened to Mrs. Zary Nipper a few
days ago, from the results of which
she is still suffering considerable
pain.
Mrs. Nipper was standing near a
large gate, which was open, when
there came a strong gust of wind
which slammed the gate against
her and knocking her down. She
was carried into the house and med
ical aid summoned. After a careful
examination, it was found that no
bones were broken, but there was a

There are many other desirable lots
in that vicinity, and, for some of
these, prospective homes have al
ready been planned.
This annex to Ty Ty was origin,
ally more than a hundred acres, a
part of which lay within the city
limits, but many of the lots have al

on these lots are occupied as soon
completed. The owners live in
arm and hip, and severe bruises.
Mrs. Nipper is old and feeble, and
the accident has shaken her up con-

not serious, she is still confined to
her bed.
