(Hointf DO IT NOW dissertation on the timeliness of certain events.) If you’ve winged a red headed widow And she’s found out where you’ve hid, Oh. And you think it’s time to skid-do Ami thus avoid a row. Do not stand upon your going, But u pair of heels be showing F/er her wrath be overflowing— Ho it now. If an heiress you are "sparking” And unto you she is harking, O! then put an end to larking— To win her make a vow. If you’d win the little fairy, Quickly court and quickly marry, Do not wait, lest plans miscarry— Do it uow. If you come in some flue morning With the sun the east adorning, And you r wife without dire warning With a broomstick bents your brow. If you’ve any sort of reason For your coming home that season. Say it quick und say it free, sou— Do it now. —Dalton Citizen. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. I.eSuer, of thel Mr. R. B. Sumner, of Sylvester, hula neighborhood, are dong ratulated In Tifton on business Tuesday.

Tifton has a warehouse with floor space 180 X 180 feed folly equipped to han dle the entire topaceo crop of this terri tory this year. tthree tracks of the three Biffin lines of railroad touch this ware house. Its accessibility and Tifton's central location give better facilities here than any othe r market in South Georgia affords. Four of the largest tobacco concerns: The Export Tobacco Company, Liggett ft Myers, R. J. Reynolds Company, and J. P. Taylor ft Company, will have buyer* here. Some of these buyer* have already arrived. This insures close competition in buying and therefore the highest prices. By actual count there are 1,200 acres in tobacco in Tift county. Add to this 300 acres in Colquitt and 300 acreg in Worth that should find a market here, together with some other outlying places, and it is safe to say that well over one million dollar* worth of tobacco should come to the Tifton market. The effect of the distribution of such a big sum of money can well be imagined. With this volume of business a good market here is absolutely assured and WHIT UNIT HOUR TEETH?

We have assessed all property this year on a basis of two thirds of its present real value. In some instances there hah been no increase over whit the property was turned in at, while in other instance* there has been notable increase. This is due to the fact that we have tried to get all property in at two-thirds of its value, and some of it was given in at the right amount while other property was given in too low. The entire amount of the in crease in assessment* this year amount* to about $400,000, which will give you about $0,800 additional.
