Cairo, Thomas County, Georgia, November 4, IQ04.
Woodland Items.
BY UNCLE JAKE.
I Mrs. Martha Fulford returned
home from Meigs the latter
part of last week where she had
been spending some time with
friends and relatives.
Mf. James Massev is visiting
his father and sister, Mr. Rob
ert Massey and Mrs. F. M Nor
ton this week.
Mr. W. H. Waldron and son,
Malcom, went to Thomasville
Saturday.
Owing to sickness in his fam
ily, Mr. Will Pindergass failed
to John come to sing Sunday but Mr.
A. Hudson, occompanied
by his two charming daughters.
Misses Ollie and Stella, from
Cairo, led a few lessons which
was enjoyed very much.
Mr. Hiram McMillan was
married Sunday to Miss Viola
* Norton, Rev. G. P. Reviere offi
ciating.
A good many people went to
Thomasville Monday to see the
circus, and a few went Tuesday
to hearHor. Tom Watson speak,
and it is strange how different
people are. I heard quite a
number of democrats express
themselves on his speech, some
saying he made a good speech
while others said he never made
a single point. Of course all
the Pops thought he made a
good speech. They tell me that
ignorance of the law excuses
none. I heard a good old man
say on Sunday that he was not
prejudiced to no party but he
was a democrat, because he be
lieved in what they advocated:
a high tariff, and when they
failed to do that, he would vote
the republican ticket. Well I
know I am ignorant but I try
to inform myself on things
where I can. While I don’t
claim to be what is called a
democrat,! read their papers.
I don’t think that any man can
vote intelligently that don’t
read both sides of the question.
Lots of people vote that never
read as much as the platform of
their party, not saying anything
of platforms of other parties.
Coming to the truth of the mat
ter, I believe there is very few
in any party that can endorse
everything that is put in
platforms.
