Card of Thanks.
I desire in this manner to thank my
good neighbors and the good friend? I

of my late wife. The people were all
good to both of us, gave us every at

will ever feel greatful to them. The
illness of my good wife covered many
months and during the time she never
lacked attention. It gives me pleasure
to say this of my good friends and
neighbors and when their time comes
ihey will meet one on higu that will
also show the same appreciation that I
am expressing here in this article.
With best wishes, I am, Very truly,

Lyons, Jan. 3rd, 1911.
Dr. John Meadows, in the Advance
last week, came out favoring County
Commissioners for Toombs county and
a bond issue. We are not going to take
issue witli Dr. John on this question
because we want bonds for good roads.
We can’t favor county commissioners,
however, because we were once strung
in the same place that Dr. John said
he had been strung. If the people want
them though, we are going to lay quiet
this time. Let us have good roads un
der any circumstance.
Don’t forget the mass meeting at the
Court House next Saturday. Judge
Mason is anxious that a large attend
ance be the result as he wants to have
some one talk fur and against the bond
issue An expression from the people
is necessary at this time and we be
lieve it will be iii favor of the bond if
tiie people understand the question as
it is.
It is now Clerk of the Court Hagan,
Collector Thompson, and will soon be
County School Commissioner Brantly
The latter has not made his bond yet
but he is expecting it every day. He is
taking some interest in the work, how
ever, and he is going to lie a good man.
The other officers are the same as they
have been for the last few years.
$25.00 Reward.
I will pay the above reward for the
arrest with evidence to convict the
party or parties who broke open and
burglarized my old home place at
some time since Nov. Ist, 1910. Among
other things that were taken was an
old cap and ball rifle that was a
relict. Any information will be gladly
appreciated. K. B McLeod.
