Here the house of a colored wo

furnishings of the resident.

The alarm Tuesday morning at
11:00 o’clock came from the resi

slight damage was done here. A
dresser was damaged and the wall
near it scorched. According to
Mrs. Venters, she had placed a
match which she though was out,
into an ash tray on the dresser,
and went to the kitchen. Some
ties were hanging on the dresser,
and apparently caught from the
match. When she returned to
the living room the whole dresser
was on fire. This blaze was ex
tinguished before much damage
was done.

69.
The sudden death of Mr. Frank

to his loved ones and friends.
:
dent Mr. of Key this was community; a life-long he resi- j

born in Grady County on May
12, 1880, the son of the late Gaines

wife is the former Miss Cora Mug
gridge. He was a member of the
East Side Baptist Church and
lived an honest, upright Christian
.life; always calm and gentle in
his nature, he saw only the good

nearly three-score and ten years ;
is held in high esteem by all who |

In addition to his widow he is

the heater over, setting the build

to get out himself. He is said to
have a brother, Willie Bell, liv
ing in Pennsyalvania; but no
other relatives living here.

The re-registration office, locat

will remain open about two more
weeks, M. G. Patterson, chairman j
of the Board of Registrars said j
Wednesday, in order to give all!
those who wanted to qualify und

Following the legislature’s ac
tion in postponing the deadline
on registering until 1952, appli
cants dropped to five or ten

State Revenue Dept.
Urges Georgians To
File Tax Returns
In a series of advertisements
running in this newspaper, the
State Revenue Department is
urging Georgians to file their
State Tax returns as soon as pos
sible, and reminding taxpayers
that the law requires a penalty
and interest on late returns.
Commissioner Charles D. Red
wine urges all persons who should
make returns to do so at once.
According to Mr. Redwine,
prompt returns helps the State as
well as the individual taxpayer.
The recent session of the Gen
eral Assembly ^increased the ap
propriation of the Revenue De
partment for the purpose of hiring
additional field men and audi
tors to enforce the tax laws more
stringently.
The Department is now check
ing all Federal returns, plus hav
ing other sources of information
heretofore on available, and it is
unlikely that any citizen who
should file a State return will be
able to avoid doing so.
Here’s How To Prevent
t
A Headache
ORDER YOUR FERTILIZER EARLY
That's the one way to be certain that you'll have the ferti
lizer on hand when you are ready to plant. Labor, ma
terials and transportation all are on a reconversion basis.
Little improvement is anticipated before crop planting
time, anyway.
Again, as in years past, we are able to furnish our
customers with that high-standard SWIFT'S "RED
STEER" FERTILIZER, which is made from the best mater
ials obtainable. Before this fertilizer is placed in bags,
it is sent to the laboratory for testing, to make certain
that it meets the standard of quality that is set for "RED
STEER" FERTILIZER.
We are now shipping and placing in our warehouse
all the fertilizer we han house—but it will be impossible for
us to store enough to take care of our demands.
We are again asking that you come in to see us—
PLACE YOUR ORDER and TAKE DELIVERY of your fer
tilizer. If you do this YOU WILL HAVE WELL CURED
FERTILIZER AT YOUR PLACE WHEN YOU NEED IT.
Save yourself a lot of worry. Get your RED STEER
ordered early . .. NOW!

Yesterday, February 23rd, the
Colonial Stores, they having a

plus $10,000 in other prizes, will
be given away throughout this
store’s territory. It is said to be
the first time that scholarships

Four Governors, including Gov.

their endorsement to the contest.
The Colonial Stores are an

of other newspapers in the four

cars owned by the Class 1 rail
