MADRAS.
We had ice Monday, and it is feared

The sunshine was greeted with broad
smiles the first of the week by most
everyone. Its genial rays proved wel
come to all.
A dog owned by Mr. Hubert Cates
acted rather queerly last Friday. While

but came back Saturday morning seem
ingly all right, but was fastened up

bies. Mr. and Mrs. Ferrell and Mrs.
Cates carried the boys to Atlanta this

“ Miss Bessie Cook, of Newnan, spent

Glass.
Several of our young people were

gin’s illness with pneumonia, and wish
her a safe recovery.
r. .1. C. Wingo spent Saturday and
Mr. Loyd Donegan, at

j Would it be deemed impertinent to
'ask one or two questions regarding
some recommendations made by the
late grand jury? We note that the jury
recommended that the County Commis
sioners be paid $100 each for their ser-
I vices, and that the chairman of the
j board be paid $100 additional to what
he already receives, making $200 per
annum for this official. Now, does the
recommendation of a grand jury
amount to an order absolute, and is
this the Treasurer’s only authority for
the payment of the sums so recommen
ded? In other words, to whom is this
recommendation or order directed? To
the Board of County Commissioners, to
the Treasurer, or whom? Does the rec
ommendation of a jury really author
ize any official to pay the amounts des
ignated? The Governor of a State
may recommend certain appropriations,
but an Act of the Legislature is required
to confer authority to carry out the
recommendation. What actual authori
ty is conferred by a grand jury recom
mendatiorii anyway? Will some one
answer?
Again. If the average monthly ex
pense of maintaining the county chain-
gang is $900, is the hire of the misde
meanor convicts included in this esti
mate? If not, what does the ehaingang
really cost the county? Many people
think our roads are costing too much
under the ehaingang system. Many
are of the opinion also that the Legis
lature, by abolishing the lease system,
has saddled a burden upon the State
that she will grow tired of before long.
The remains of Eugene Page were

CARROLLTON, GA., March 12, 1909.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FARMERS:
We have spent several years building and main
taining a reputation for QUALITY for M-M FERTILIZERS.
The prevailing demoralization of prices naturally
brings to the mind of the manufacturer the question wheth
er he will SACRIFICE QUALITY and MAINTAIN TONNAGE, or
MAINTAIN QUALITY aad SACRIFICE TONNAGE. This question was
easy for us to decide, and to those who know the personnel
of those responsible for the policy of this company, the
decision is already known.
We do not propose to reduce prices to a point
where we cannot maintain QUALITY, although our profits may
be sacrificed.
If QUALITY is a good thing for the manufacturer,
is it not a better thing for the consumer?
Will you, for the sake of a possible saving in
your fertilizer bill of 10 cents to 20 cents an acre, use
an untried fertilizer, or one from a manufacturer whom you
have reason to believe will sacrifice QUALITY?
Avoid this risk by insisting on your dealer fur
nishing you the M-M Fertilizers; and if he won't supply
you, write to the home office at Carrollton, Ga.
Yours truly,
MANDEVILLE MILLS,
