W. S. Hancock ~ -
“ Buys Interest in |,
Bell Drug Co.
- Mr. W. S. Hancock of this
place closed a deal yesterday and
has taken charge of the Bell
Drug Co., of Albany. Mr. Han
cock will have charge of the
business, which is capitalized at
$75,000. \ .
Mr. Hancock moved to Lees
burg about two years ago with
his family from Edison and
bought Leesburg Drug Company
and made a success in that line.
The business* here will still be
long to Mr, Hancock and Mr.
Turner., Mr. Turner having been
connected with Mr. Hancock
since he bought the Leesburg
Drug Company. The Drug busi
ness here has recently been in
corporated and the style of the
firm is the W. S. Hancock Drug
Co. s :
: Worth Recording.
A Washington woman had scrimped
for a long time to take g trip to rana
ma. A man very much younger than
herself, In the deck chair beside her,
was making the voyage for the good
of a frazzled nervous system. He was
a whimsical youngster, who could joke
at his own ups ang downs, and she
was used to boys, so they talked of
this and that until at last the subject
came around to the thing that makes
the traditional mare go. The woman,
still dazed at the Aladdin-like power
that could transmute small economies
into a fairy world of blue ocean bil
lowing into blue sky, took her turn
at the conversation by voicing clviliza
tion’s oldest platitude:
“Money talks, doesn’t it?”
“It sure does, though my money
only knows two words—'Good bye.”
And the woman has brought it home
a 8 one of her good lttle storles.
~_lf the human race is ever brought
to a seasonable degree of physical per
fection, it will be done through pre
ventive medicine.
- To The Public.
This is to notify the public
that I am no longer connected
with the Lee Sales Agency, of
Leesburg, Georgia, and that I
am no longer responsible for any
transactions pertaining to busi
ness of said company.
Very Respectfully,

No Message Has Yet Been
. Received by Sheriff at
! That Place as Where
| Prisoner Will Serve Life
} Sentence.
Albany, Ga.,, Aug. 24,—Glen
M. Hudson, who would have
been hanged today for the mur
3der of his two little stepsons,,
Robert and Issiah Temple, but
for the recommendation of the
prison commission that the sen
tence be changed to life im
prisonment and Goyernor Hard
wick’s acceptance of that recom
m:ndat'oy, dces nct yet know
where he will serve his time.
Sheriff O. F. *Tarver has re
ceived no instructions as to where
the prisoner is going and says he
will likely not know until a de
puty arrives from some other
copnty with an order for Hudson.
This happened in the case of
Ludy Riley, another white man
saved from the gallows last
month by executive clemency, a
baliff coming in the night for
the alleged assialant ofa ten
year-old girl and taking: him
away without giving him op
portunity to tell his people fare
well
Hudson received the news of
the commutation of his sentence
with little emotion remarking
‘““that’s good’”’ and refraining
from furti @: comment. He has
proved an emotional prisoner,
but one very easily handled dur
ing his thitteen months of im
prisonment. Deputy Sherifi A. L
Denson, the jailer declared.
Meeting Of Executive

At a mecting of the Lee (J\nmtyl

Would Be EraLarrassing.,
During the soclal session of a lodge
the other night the expenses were de:
frayed by levying fines on the varlous
‘members for real or fancled infrac
tions of tlie rules,
The forfeits were collected by the
sergeant-at-arms,
In one instance, however, the ser:
geant made no effort to collect the
fine, and the chairman directed his
attention to the oversight.
Again the sergeant remained In.
different.
Rapping for order, the chairman ex
claimed : ~
“The sergeant-at-arms has refused
to collect a fine from Brother Amley
We will hear what excuse he has t¢
make.”

“You can’t come into the building,”
sald the severe man in the uniform.
“You're a book agent.” °
“I'm not,” protested the visitor, “I'm
a literator. If a man who sells houses
is-a ‘realtor, a man who sells books
has u perfect right to be known as a
‘literator.’ ”
Anclent Advertisement.
A drinking cup was recently sold at
London, belonging to Sir Arthur
Evans’ collection, which 1s chiefly in
teresting because on it in Greek is an
inseription clalmed to be the first
known advertisement. It runs rather
plaintively: “Made by Ennion, let the
buyer remember.” lor the Twentleth
century buyer, it 18 not a question of
remembering, but of endeavoring to
trace the history of one whose work
must be more than 2,000 years old.
Ennion I 8 belleved to have been an
artist of Sidon, the principal city of
Phoenicia for many centurles, and
‘even In the Middle ages a place of
considerable importance, Now it 18
little more than a village, Its glory
having faded as completely as the
fame of its cltlzen, whose request,
nevertheless, “to be_remembered, has
not remained wholly unheeded: :
