Seventy-four head of Grady
county beef cattle sells for
THREE THOUSAND AND
NINE DOLLARS AND FORTY-
FOUR CENTS. These wide-
awake gentlemen know that it
pays to raise stock in Gradv
county. They have the goose
which lays the golden egg and
they are not selling their covvs to
the Western buyers. They are
rapidly improving their heards
and they have more beef cattle
which they will place upon the
marked at an early date. , These
cnttle'pay nicely for their fatten
ing by given the farmer the very
• best grade of fertilizer in return.
These gentlemen are aware that
the all cotton route' leads to pau
perism. They are splendid pilots
and they are steering their ships'
in the other direction. Watch
them land on the golden shore
Nb better stock-raising sec
tion can be. found in Georgia
than we have right here in Grady,
and" if our farmers would follow
these gentlemen's wise example
and quit the all cotton route and
turn their attention to stock-rais
ing and to the production ,of pro
visions we would, soon have the
most prosperous county and the
most contented people in the
State. Grady'county is naturally,
the very best stock-raising and
provision producing portion of
Georgia. Here the farmer who
will give his farm the attention
which it should have can. be the
most independent beings on earth
The above- named gentlemen
are not the only farmers who re-
c ignize the wisdom of stock-rais
ing. Dr. Eugene Ciower has a
small fa'rm near town and he
gives some of his attention to
stock-raising and provisions.
Thg,Doctor recently sold a herd of
fine beef cattle for- $517.17.- He
has perhaps the finest stock of
hogs in the county and his little
farm is bringing in the golflen
sheaves. The -Doctor produces
everything on his farm which
will do for man or stock to eat
and does not trifle away life try
ing to make money out of cotton
growing'; Dr. Ciower always
the leading political influences in
Southwest Georgia, and ran
Judge Frank Pack, of Sylvester,
an uncomfortably close race Sfor
Congress a few months ago, for
the succession to Judge Ander
son Roddenbery.
Mr. Luke does not s'tate posi
tively anh unequivocally now
that he will he in the race again
this summer against Judge Park,
but he undoubtedly left the im
pression upon the. minds of those
he discussed the matter with
that he most likely will he.
He frankly admits an ambiticn
to 'serve his people in Congress,
and he is sure to have a try for
the position sooner or latere
with the betting running larg
ely in favot of sooner!
Luke is a strong man, and a
man who makes friends easily.
He is.one of the best lawyers in
Georgia, and if he runs for Con
gress again the race will be well
worth keeping one’s eye on!

It is believed that Georgia will
come nearer uniting on him than
any other man.
While Col. N. E. Harris has
practically announced, still there
is a sort of reservation in his
statement. It is possible that
Jiidge Thomas! entry would tend
tc keep Judge Harris out.
It is said that in this event
Speaker Burwell would certainly
be a candidate for the governor

It is,also believed that the en
try of Judge Thomas would cause

Some comment i; heard here
on Mr. Harris’ proposal to call
the state committee together
again to discuss and try to for
mulate some plan to prevent gub

where there would result a good
deal of trading.

Columbus on a charge of bigamy
