THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR- THURSDAY AUGUST 12, 1920 ( Ad verti semen 1 1 PEACOCK INTRODUCED BY COL. FRED HARRIS On the occasion of his ad dress in Mt. Vernon Aug. 3rd, Hon. Roscoe Peacock was introduced by Col. F. M. Harris, Mayor of Mt. Vernon, in the following: Fellow-Citizens of Montgomery County: We have with us this morning one who is a candidate for Con gress. While still a young man he has quite a varied experience in life. He was born and reared on a farm in Dodge county. Realizing that his opportunities on a farm were limited, he set out to prepare for a greater life. He worked his way through col lege, having graduated at the Berry School, at the Academic Department of the University of Georgia, the Law Department of the University of Georgia, and studied at the University of Michigan looking towards the de gree, Master of Arts, and also the University of Paris. While in college, he was a leader in athletics, and was captain of the football team, and was elected by the University as assistant coach for football. He was also active in literary work and was presi dent of one of the debating so cieties at the University. With all this, he was able to secure two degrees from the University of Georgia in five years. From an educational standpoint, he is eminently qualified to represent the people in the office to which he aspires. Yet a young man, he has had considerable experience in affairs of government. He was elected to the State Senate by an over whelming majority, and was unanimously elected president pro tern of the Senate, and was serving in this capacity when war was declared. He promptly resigned to answer the call of his country. He was exempted from military service on account of his office, but he chose to stand the hardships of war with others, and enlisted as a private soldier, rising to the rank of first lieu tenant in the field artillery. He was in four of the biggest bat tles of the war, and was recom mended for promotion, and for a distinguished service cross for bravery in action. He refused a majority in the judge advocate department as it would not per mit him to be on the firing line. His entire record in the army was clean and filled with valiant service to his country, and such service should now recommend him to us as a loyal and patriotic citizen and one who is willing to risk his life if necessary in the defense of his country. He represented us on the bat tlefields of Fi ance and now that the battle is done and the sword laid aside, he desires to continue to have the privilege by repre senting us in congress. The spirit and patriotism which prompted him to lay down an office to risk his life and endure the hardships of army life for his country is an example worthy of trust and honor, and 1 take great pleasure in introducing you to the Hon. Roscoe Peacock of Eastman, Georgia, candidate for Congress of the 12th District of Georgia, j We wish to announce to the public that wo have purchased the I Cocklield Grocery Co., and the business will continue as the Conner- Dickson Gro cery Co. It will be our policy to keep a clean, up-to-date lino of groceries. Wo shall appreciate the patron age of the public gen erally, and promise good service. T. B. Conner, E. O.
