Don’t forget now and let’s write. True-Love. The Canadian Agreement The Democrats in the house have acted wisely in deciding to support, the Canadian reciprocity agreement. The vote was 90 to 22. As the Savannah Press has al ready pointed out, this agreement will be a good thing for the coun try. It is the first step in the di rection of low tariff. It is an acknowledgment by the govern ment that the present tariff is too hgih and that the people should have some releif in the reign of the present exorbitant prices. The Democratic contention all along has been that the Pavne- Aldrich tariff bill worked an in justice to the people. President Taft, who has defeated this lull, is now the first one to shoot a hole in it by proposing this trade agree ment with Canada It is an im portant concession and is a recog nition of :he Democratic conten tion. It will help rather than hurt the cause of tariff reform When the Democratic house comes into power it will continue the work begun by President Taft and go right along making the tariff reduction general and en forcing the principle already established.—Press The remains of our old friend Mr. B. F. Spivey were brought to Lyons for burial Thursday morn ing and a number of our people met it at the depot. Mr. Spivey was taken suddenly ill from an acute case of Bright’s Disease about a week ago near Quitman and in spite of the heroic work and care of friends and physicians, his soul took its flight to the un known beyond. He was a fine old gentleman, liked by all who knew him, and his funeral was largely attended. Rev. J. W Kytle offi ciated at the ceremony The re mains were accompanied to Lyons by a brother, who lives in Savan nah, and a close friend. Mr. Paule tte of near Quitman. Mr. Spivey was one of the pioneer citizens of Lyons and in a later issue will sav more about him. The property of the Vidalia Ad vance, sold by the Sheriff last Tuesday, was bought in by J. E Shumpert, cashier of the Bank of Vidal ia for SSOO. The paper has never lost an issue and it is very probable that it will be continued under the same management as before. Tom Walker, the barber, sells Ess-Tee-Dee, the best hair tonic, on the market. See Toni and let him tell you about it. Col. J' J. Wiliams was a busi ness visitor to lleidsville last Monday. Gradually weave getting more light on that big Democrat ban quet. The day after Baltimore took over a whole new lake of water. The LYONS PROGRESS. FEBRUARY 10 lv*l 1 I That Colit ge on Wheels. • The State College of Agricul ture will run its second education al train this spring. It will be equipped with seven cars leaded with manv things which will lie of valuable information for the farm ers. One cur, for instance, will be loaded with live stock. A strong force of able lecturers will be on board to lecture on practical top ics for the farmers. Providence permitting, I have agreed to es cort the tram through the First Congressional District. I am anx ious to have as many of the farm ers of the different counties meet, us as possible at Lyons Feb. 20th. Our schedule puts us at Lyons at 3:130 p. in., on February 20th., I hope to- meet ns many farmers of T-oni'is countv as possible at Lyons. The Chamber of Commerce of Vidal ia sent me a long petition asking that the train stop at Vi dal ia. I forwarded the request to Dr. Soule, of the State College, and urged that we arrange to stop at Vidalia. I trust we may be able to do so. At any rate, let all the schools and people generally of Toombs arrange to meet us at Lyons and Vidalia on the 20th. E. C. J. Dickens President, First District Agricul tural School. Ridge Dots.

A Mr. Gee, who claims to have conducted the popular voting con test for our neighbor, the Vidalia Advance, has sent us a communi cation that brands and charges fraud in the contest. It is very personal against the manager of the Advance and we think it pro per to omit the matter as it is of no concern to us. These contests alway scause strife and we don’t want to be the organ through which it may be aired. Judge Williams was in Savan nah the first of the weeK. He and Col. Giles assisted in the prosecu tion of a negro Brunswick Mcßae, who killed a Mi. Warnell in Brr an county a few years ago. Mcßae was tried twice in Bryan county and both times'was convicted of murder. His lawyers got a change of venue and this time the case is being tried in Chatham county. Dr. E. P. Bomar received a tele phone message from Statesboro Wednesday afternoon announcing that his daughter, Miss Ethel, was ill.
