Is the remark a certain Sylvania lady made in our store the other day. “I like to trade at your store because
I can always find just what I want,” she continued, it made us fee! mighty good to hear this too. It shows that
our efforts to give greater values at lower prices are being appreciated. We want every lady in Screven county to

In view of the fact that every one in the world
gets tired at some time, we have decided to give ev
ery one who willl take it, a rest for a small out lay of
cash. Old Hickory Porch Chair, the kind Webster,
Olay, Stevens and Tombs were partial to $4.75.

(“Dedicated to the lovers of ‘English
as she is spelt.’ ”)
(lire day through the primeval wood,
A calf walkt home, as good calves
should;
But made a trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have
fled,
And, I infer, the. calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs a moral tale.
The trail was taken that passed up next day
By a lone dog that way.
And then the wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail o’er vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too,
As good bell-wethers o’er always hill do.
And from that day, old woods and glade
Through those a path was
made,
And many men wound in and oat,
And turned and dodged and bent
about.
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because ’twas such a crooked path:
But still they followed—do not laugh—
The first migrations winding of that calf,
And through this wood way
stalkt
Because he wabbled when he walkt.
This forest path became a lane,
That bent and turned and turned
again;
This crooked lane became a road
Where many a poor horse, with his
load. „
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And traveled some three miles in cne.
And thus a century and a half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years past on in swiftness fleet,
The road became a village street
And this, before the men were aware,
A city’s crowded thoroughfare,
And soon the central street was this
Of a renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and a half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf;
Each flay a hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about;
And o’er his crooked journey went
The traflic of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
They lly a calf near three centuries dead,
followed still his crooked way
And lost one hundred years a day;

Wore I ordained and called to preach,
For men are prone to go it blind
And do what other men have done.
They follow in the beaten track,
And out and in and forth and back.
And still their devious course pursue,

He further says, that what is
really bondage, is to be the
eternal slave of the live stock
dealers. Correct; but let’s see
what brought it about. Had we
never gone in debt or borrowed
money we today would have had
money of our own; and if we
had stood shoulder to shoulder,
the live stock dealers would not
be making so much out of us.
Instead of $250 for horses and
mules, we would be getting them
for $150 and $175, and instead
of buying com and hay at $1.25, it
we would not. have to buy to
feed that stock on. What
brought this about? Greed lor
gain, and the mania struck or
hit so many of us, trying to keep
up with the times.
. My Brother Walker says to
raise the money we need to build
roads ot chert or gravel, would
require 25 per cent, of tax, that
is if a man is worth $4,000 would
have to pay $1,000; he could
not, but if it be divided by 50
this would be a nominal sum,
one practical to pay. Let’s see;
25 per cent, of $4,000 makes
$1,000 for 50 divisions, and we
find it would be $20.00 per when year.
But that won’t work, for

As it is, our tax for 1905 was
$20.00 on the $1,000, and I see
no prospect of its getting any
less for the next thirty years to
come. While our couuty is only
bonded for $40,000, lt- went out
that it was for $80,000, but it
will amount to more than that

Ordinary, Wilcox County, Ga.
Now, Mr. Johnson makes it
appear that the people are in
favor of bonds, Mr. Warren
tells me that most of the people
were opposed, but as the debt
was already contracted and the
property assessed, that it (bonds)
was the only remedy out of it.
I have talked it over with 40
men in different parts of the
county,"and they were alTopposed
to bonds, except one, and he, no
doubt, expects to make something
out of it.

story, he could see no logical ap

voter, don’t let the bond business
rock your conscience to sleep,
until you vote for them. If so,
when you awake to conscious
ness, you will not be able to go
