We are trust people straight-out, but it reads like this—Trust Parker will lead Teddy a light. When you are asked if you know of a good town for a man ufacturing industry, give the name of Cairo. a I knew it would be Parker, *♦ is the cry now, although it seem ed that they were not exactly satisfied when the applauses for Groover was being read off daily. ♦f* The showers that we have been having for hhe past week has put the crops in “trim. tt Doubtless you have heard the cry of dry, dry, dry off and on for the past three months, and there has been a few of our far mers to suffer considerable dam age, we have made numerous inquiries, and as a whole we be lieve this ns airound and excep tionable fine crop year up to date. At a woman’s sufferage meet ing up in Boston the other day, one of the ladies present—a sin gle lady of course—proposed as a compromise to be offered to the male population that in re turn for the right of suffrage they offer men the privilege of piuralty of wives. The married ladies present opposed the prop osition, denouncing it as an old maid scheme. The Daily Bainbridge Argus will make its first appearance on next Monday, so says the weekly. It is up to the people of Bain bridge to place another feather in their cap for the town; a good daily is a credit to any town, and especially a prospering town like Bainbridge. Let the people show their appreciation of Bro. Tiller’s effort by giving him their support. Groceries!! Get your- Fancy and Family Groceries, Fine Fruits and Confectioneries.

Whenever a bill of any sort is introduced in the state legisla ture for the purpose of giving the growing counties of South Georgia advantages which be long; to them bv everv kind of right, some fellow from the up per part of the state rises with a bill to offset these advantages by giving to the counties in the upper portion advantages which do not belong to them by any kind of right. Now, we really hope that we do not misunderstand the bill to be introduced for the reappor tionment of representatives from the various counties of the state, which is said to be a com panion of the bill to create new counties, but it looks to us like the bill is for the purpose of giving to counties in the upper section of the state advantages they should not enjoy. By di viding some of the larger coun ties in the southern por tion of the state the number of representatives from this sec tion would be increased and to that extent South Georgia would be benefited. But this section is entitled to all of the benefit that it would give her. She has the population as well as the wealth and her present growth indicates that she will forge ahead of the other sections of the state in the near future. It is probable that the won derful strides which Georgia is making causes some of the poli ticians in the upper section to look forward to the time when the state’s political center will drift considerablv below the geographical center. If a reap portionment can be made on lines .so as to give the larger counties in the upper portion of the state advantages over the majority of counties in the sou thern portion, the act will pre serve to that section much of the political power which has drifted from her as the tide of population and wealth have ccme this way. The average politician in North Georgia is not satisfied that every state institution should be located in that sec tion, but they want every other advantages that can come to them. The time has come for South Georgia to exert her in fluence in Georgia’s affairs, and she should begin to reach out after the ripening “plums, ’ t as well as work to secure such a changing of the map and appor tionment of counties as wfll give her what she deserves to have, and no more. Her repre sentatives should be on the lookout for mearsures that are framed to rob her of advantages that are clearly hers.—Valdosta Times. Annoucenments. Thomas County. FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
