Remarks From Sycamore.
E tors Fitzokualo Luadek :
it is understood here that there is
g <ng to be some repairrs made this
summer on the court house building
at Irwinville. It was so mentioned in
the last issue of the Irwinville Dis¬
patch, I am told. Now, it seems best,
owing to the fact that an election will
take place this fall and the legal voters
he called on to vote for and against the
removal of the county seat, these
repairs be postponed until the matter
is settled at the polls, and whether or
not Irwinville will continue to be the
county seat. As a tax payer and old
resident of the county, I object to the
to laying out money for these
repairs for the simple reason that the
county is in debt and is compelled to
borrow money at 6 per cent. If the
county really has money on hand with
which to make these repairs would it
not he better and more business like
to take this same mhney and apply it
on the county debt and stop this 6 or
7 per cent interest ?
A majority of the people here on
this side of the river, I believe,
favor Fitzgerald, and if the other side
will give that enterprising city their
united vote, then we will have one of
the best cities in South Georgia in our
ebuhty, and this $1200 or $1500 will
not have to he expended on a frame
building. Mr. Henderson should he
asked not to make these improve-
ments until it is absolutely necessary
they should be made and until the
voters decided the county seat ques
tion at the polls.
Success to The Leadei; and its men
who were “ Born to Hustle.”

Old “ Uncle Sunnier” Is Dead.
Editors Leadel : The oldest man
in Georgia, and perhaps the oldest in
tiie United States, died last Friday
night. "Uncle Sumner,” as he was
familiarly called by all who knew him,
was an old negro living with his great
grand, son on the farm of Mr. J. W.

there. He was totally blind for about

the response the old man made. I
told him who i was. “ 0 ! come in!
come in ! and have de cheer and talk
to me som. Yo kno Pse lonesome.” I
went in and took a seat. The old man
talked and the freely, times he telling used of have. Indian When wars
to
r asked him how old he was, he toid
about lieing in Savannah when Gen.
Pulaski was killed. People who knew
him say lie always told the same story
about his age. He lived an honored
life and expressed the hope of eternal
rest just a short while before he
breathed his last. All the natives of
Irwin county knew “ Uncle Sumner.”
He was honored by all knew him.
