Adamson to Get Important
Chairmanship
Georgia is positively assured of
three chairmanships in the Sixty
second Congress, and possibly more,
as a result of the recent landslide
that placed the Democrats in com
plete control of the Lower House.
Congressmen Adamson, Bartlett
and Hardwick will certainly pluck
plums in the organization, and it is
not inprobable that Congressmen
Brantley, Bell and Lee will land
chairmanship, Congressmen Lee,
Edwards, Hughes, Roddenberry and
and the newly-elected members;
Schley Howard and Tribble, will be
well cared for in the matter of com
mittees.
Judge Adamson, who lives in
Commerce carries with it some de
sirable patronage that is controlled
by the chairman. There is a com
mittee clerk, besides the stenogra
pher, messengers and door-keepers.
The clerkship pays at least $2,200
per year, and the assistant's place
is worth nearly as much.—Atlanta

Pretty Touch For the General.
A French general’s wife, whoso
tongue lashing ability was far
famed, demanded that an old serv
ant, who had served with her hus
band in the wars, be dismissed.
“Jacques,” said the general, “gc
to your room and pack your trunk
and leave—depart.”
The old Frenchman clasped his
hands to his heart with dramatic
j°y-
“Me—I can go!” he exclaimed in
& very ecstasy of gratitude. Then
suddenly his manner changed as
with utmost, compassion he added:
“But you—my poor general, you
must stay!”

him under the terms of this statute.
Hence every man in t his county.
I except arresting officers, who are
carrying pistols unconcealed are
violating the law; and all who carry
[ them concealed are offenders.

Cheery Homes
It doesn’t take many pieces of Furniture to make a
room look comfortable and home-like and even if there is a
piece or so less and the furniture is good, the room won’t
look bare, but no matter how much trash you put into a
room you don’t get the true home effect, Trash in furniture
is conspicuous, may be it doesn’t look that that way in the
catalogue, but you will always find it that way when you
get it home and iu the room where you intend putting it.
Now the difference between trash and good furniture is ap

difference and buy our goods accordingly.
