In his speech of dismissal to
the late Grand Jury in Decatur
county Judge Cox ' said that
there was less lawlessness in De
catur and Grady counties than
in any other of his circuit. He at
tributed this to the prosperity en
joyed by the people.
This is the year when every
body must take some loss. Few
business men will make any mon

much. The only thing to do is to
wind up things, strike a balance
