AMERICAN SHOE STORE I UNCLE GEORGE AT TAMPA Tampa, Fla., 12-21-24. Dear Brother Hardy:—l am afraid I can’t intercut you any but will write a little any way. We have had real pretty weather ever since 1 have been here. Sunshine and warm most of the time, almost too hot some of the time. There are a lot of Yankees here, but they are in a good humor and most of them are very jovial, crack ing jokes and telling tales. I strike up with some of them that fought in front of Longstreet and they love to talk about the different battles that I was in. It is a great pleasure to mp to meet them. There is one old fel low that was in Meade’s corps who was horn the same year that 1 was, he in August and I in October. He greets me as comrade. He loves to talk about the war. I am craving pecans. Have quit the paper business. The nuts are so high I am not doing so much in the way of making money, but am hav ing a lot of fun. That counts some, you see. I am paying my expenses and save a little and am satisfied, so that is worth its weight in gold, and I am not kicking. I am sticking close to my cracker. Don’t get arouno to see what all is going on and don’t know much to write. I don’t hardly realize it is almost Christmas until 1 see the show windows down town. They are certainly pretty. Anything you can think of is to be seen and the people are shopping to beat the band. 1 am at a loss to know what I will do for my Christmas fun; expect I will just crack nuts and saw wood, although I am invited to dinner by two .

CULLODEN LETTER Barnesville News-Gazette: It has been some time since I have written to my old town paper, so I wish to show my appreciation of its weekly visits by writing once in a while to let my friends know that I am still living and have not forgot ten them. Your paper is just like a letter fr6m them each week. Everything is moving along nicely down here. Lumber business will soon be a thing of the past. One of the planers has been moved to south west Georgia, 150 miles from here. If the weather is not too bad the other will be through here by spring. There is a revival in farming. Everybody seems to be wanting to make a good start. A lot of land is being plowed. I think the inten sive ulan will be the watch word for all. It is not the man that culti vates most acres who makes the most by any means. Plant no more than you can tend with ease, prepare well and deep. We will have to let the thin land he sown down or planted l in velvet beans, it will do more to bring it to life than anything 1 ever saw tried. I hope to see the farm self-sustaining, then old man Hard times will die a natural death and we will be contented and happy. Mav it thus be. Mr. Otis Sullivan is having his house remodeled. When he gets through with it he will have a lovely home. All the peach men around here are pruning their trees and plowing the land. We have the same preachers for another year. The Missionary Bap tists are planning to build them a new church here. Ido not know the amount that has been raised. They now hold their meetings in the Meth odist church. F. M. MEANS.

SPECIAL TAXES DUE All business men who are subject to payment of Special Taxes for 1925 should understand that under the new laws and regulation a much more rigid enforcement will be re quired than heretofore. The law requires that all who are subject to these special taxes shall register with the ordinary and pay the tax to the county tax collector and all such taxes are due on the first day of January. The new department of revenue will begin sending men into the va rious communities of the state to see that the law is observed. Mr. Gus Smith, tax collector of Lamar coun ty, has already received all blanks and books necessary for compliance with the law. It is very important that business men meet all these re quirements and avoid the penalty at tached for failure to do so. There is in your town a man or a woman who will make a good Life Insurance Salesman and earn more money than they would in ’V ’ i any other position. Either myself or one of my rep resentatives will visit there shortly and I will ask you to write me that you are interested, so that I can make an engagement to meet you when we arrive. R. F.
