GRADY COUNTY WILL
HOLD ANNUAL FAIR.
Thomasville, Ga., Oct. 15.
The Grady county fair which
closed a few days ago was con
sidered such a success that it was
decided to make it a permanent
institution to be held every year
at Cairo. Officers elected to
serve during the coming year are
J. S. Weathers, president; W. J.
Pearce, vice president; B. M.
Johnson, secretary; D. L. Wil
liams, assistant secretary, and J.
E. Forsythe, treasurer.
DIRECT TO THE PEOPLE.
Why not go direct to the sov
ereign power in whom alone is
vested the right to make or
change any existing law we may
have on our statute books?
Who dare stand up before the
people and deny them the right
to express their will at the ballot
box?
This is the very essence of the
referendum now written in every
" state Democratic platform and
universally endorsed by Demo
crats.
It has been the practice in the
Democratic party in Georgia for
many years to refer all such
questions as the sale of liquor,
fence or no fence, and such
moral or industrial questions di
rect to a vote of the people.
It is, therefore, no violation of
Democratic teaching or practice
in Georgia to demand that the
people be heard by a direct vote
on the question of local option or
state-wide prohibition.
If the people want this ques
tion settled now and effectively,
it is the only way it can be done.
The election of either candidate
for governor as a matter of fact
absolutely settles nothing.
It is this very idea of referring
these questions directly to the
people that has most contributed
to the solidarity of the South; and
having wrested our state govern
ment from the hands of carpet
bag rule, since that day the state
has been governed by our best
element of people.
By these ties we have been ce
mented together like a stone
wall, and today stand to win con
trol of the national government
over to Southern Democratic
ideas in the interest of the whole
people. Shall we give up the
fight at this late day and deny
the right of the people to be
heard?—Rome Tribune-Herald.
COFFEE COUNTY FAIR.
Douglas, Ga., Oct. 14.—The
seventh annual fair of the Coffee
County Fair Association will
open at Douglas Nov. 14 and con
tinue through the 18th. The ag
ricultural and stock exhibits will
be the best, and the poultry ex
hibits will excel by far any pre
vious fair. A large poultry
raiser of Michigan will bring a
car of poultry, besides the local
exhibits, and the races will be
the best ever had here. The
Midway and free attractions will
be something extraordinary.
A PUZZLING ANSWER.
Gomer Davies was riding on
the Central branch the other
day when a very loquacious indi
vidual sat down beside him and
began bombarding him with
questions. Gomer got very tired
of his talkative friend, but did
not complain. Finally the fellow
looked down and noticed that
Gomer had a wooden leg.
“How did you lose your leg?”
he asked.
“I will tell you upon one con
dition, said Gomer.
“What is it?”
‘That you will not ask me
another question.”
“All right.”
“It was bitten off.”
This aroused the curiousity of
the questioner a good deal, but
he made his word good and asked
no further questions.
“I’ll bet,” said Gomer, “that
that fellow has lost a lot of sleep
since then wondering what sort
of an animal bit that leg off.” —

SOUTH’S OLDEST
WOMAN DIES.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 15.—Mrs.
Nancy Williamson, the oldest
woman in the South, aged a little
more than 110 years, died at her
home in Augusta this afternoon.
She is survived by nineteen grand
children, thirty-three great
grandchildren and seventeen
great-g reat-grandchildren.
Though feeble and all but help
less, she, up to a few days ago,
employed her time by sewing
articles of clothing for her young
est descendants and knitting.
BUYING LEGISLATORS IN JOBLOTS,
One day, writes Sloane Gordon
in Success Magazine, a former
member of the Ohio house dis
played, % inadvertently, a large
roll of bills in the Neil house
lobby. A fellow member gazed
in awe at the show of wealth.
“I just sold a drove of hogs,”
explained the former member
rather hastily and confusedly.
The observing one was
thoughtful. He did not reply for
the half-minute usually essentia)
to the full-measured beat of his
mental processes. And then
“Yaas, ” he drawled, “and I’ll
bet I was one of them hogs. ’ ’
A TRIBUTE TO GRANDMA.
(Read by little Miss Mildred
Kent at the Kent reunion at
Glen wood.)
(grandma, grandma, we love you so well,
Our love is so Jgrroat that we cannot tell;
But today wo celebrate the fact that you’re sev

And beg to say that your life has Ilf tent up Instead

We all hope and pray that you’ll he received into

And there be met by St. Peter bearing for you a
golden crown.
May we all meet ypij iri that Land of Pure Delight
Where there is no more darkness, bijt where all is
bright;
In that land of loveliness and eternal bliss
Far away and above such a frowning world as
this;
In that land where the angels shout and sing,
perennial praises to oijr blessed Redeemer and
King.
And there may we all with grandpa, Aunt Betsy
and Mary,
Forever dwell In the greatest and besfcof Heaven’s
commissary.
Along with David, Saint Peter. James and Paul
And crown our Jesus, King and Lord of All.
WHO WAS WAITING.
Former Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, Mr. Shiras,
is set in his views about the
sphere of woman, says the Sat
urday Evening Post. Mrs.
Shiras is a devotee of whist, and
was at one time a member of a
whist club that met on several
evenings each week.
After a club meeting Mrs.
Shiras asked one of the club
members to drive home with her
in her carriage. When they
came to the Shiras house the es
cort stepped to the door with
Mrs. Shiras.
The justice opened the door
himself in answer to the ringing
of the bell, but as the hall was
dark it was not certain who was
in the hallway.
“Is that you, Mr. Justice?”'
asked the person who had driven
home with Mrs. Shiras.
“Yes,” he replied; “this is the
old man waiting for the new wo
man.”
RATTLESNAKE GOES TO CHURCH.
While on their way to church
at South Newport on Sunday last
Mr. John Mclntosh and Mrs.
Mclntosh heard a noise like a
, rattlesnake. After returning
! from church Mr. Mclntosh, fear
i ing that the snakes were after
! his chickens, made an investiga
' tion. And to make a long story
short we would state that his
snakeship was found under the
buggy-seat, having made the trip
to church undiscovered. It
proved to be a big rattlesnake.
