Ed Reese is a great money-maker, but
always takes time enough off - in a cam
paign year to help save the country. Ed
is moreover an enthusiastic partisan ef
Hoke Smith, but for whose forceful and
majestic presence at the “head of af
fairs” in the II. K. Senate he believes
this country would soon go to the bowows
—whatever that means. Ed was reading
the other day an account of a particularly
sanguinary encounter between the
warring forces in Europe, and he was
stirred to indignation at the wanton
waste of lives and money—especially
money. “Lord-a-mercy,” he blurted
excitedly, “this here war’s awful! I’m
goin’ to write Hoke Smith and toll him
to put a stop to it! I’m plumb dis
gusted!” And Ed believes Iioke can do
it.

Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Barks, Mrs. J. E.
Featherston and Mrs. W. C. Kinnard
returned Saturday from a pleasant au
tomobile trip through North Georgia,
returning by way of Athens, leaving
that city Saturday morning. Their
route carried them through Gainesville,
Naeoochee Valley, and Tallulah Falls
and Mr. Barks says they found better
roads up in the mountains than we
have in Coweta. It is a common com
plaint of automobilists that our roads
while properly graded as a general
thing, are allowed to fall into disrepair
through lack of attention, when a little
work from time to time would keep
them in good condition. Following the
late heavy rains, the roads have been
serried with ruts in many places, and
travel is difficult and uncomfortable for
any sort of vehicle—automobiles espe
daily.
