We are indeed sorry to chroni cle the very sad death of Mrs. J. W. Duncan, which occurred at her home in the northern part of town Monday morning. She had been ill for little more than two weeks. Her death was a pecul iarly sad one, as she left a little babe only a few weeks old, besides <> small children and husband to mourn her loss. She was about Hi) years of age and much loved and respected by a large circle of friends. Mrs. Duncan was a thoughtful and consistent neigh bor, a kind and true friend, a most faithful and patient wife and mother. Her unselfish and gen erous deeds of love and kindness to her friends and acquaintances will long linger in the minds of those who loved her. In her death the grief stricken husband and lonely, motherless children have lost their dearest and best friend. May her life and example ever be a guardian angel and a guiding star to each of them in leading the way to a higher and better life here and hereafter. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the heart broken family in this, their sad dest hour. Milltown. Cigar Factory Notes. Geo.

The time for mayor’s election is getting close on us, and it is high time the temperance people of the town were waking up and stirring things. If there is a man in New nan who will go to work and rout the “blind tigers,” let’s run him for mayor and get rid of the hate ful things. The writer can’t see any differ ence in licensed saloons and “blind tigers” that are winked at and patronized by “pillars of the church.” Now we’re not taking |*up for whiskey, but would like if to be the man who got rich off of those poor wretched creatures. They will both go to hell ( unless a change takes place) and if there are any degrees there of warmth, it will not take any figuring to see which will get the warmest recep tion. The devil’s idea of a good time is fire; and as the whiskey men are his best agents, he will be sure to pay them off in the best he's got in his shop. We are glad our editor is a tem perance man, and not afraid of hurting somebody’s feelings by publishing our little articles on temperance. O that all the men of this town would go to work to drive out all the blind tigers and every other evil that is doing so much to drag our young men and women down to disgrace and shame.

They are just saying to the tiger men: “Get all the folks you can into trouble and we’ll pull them for all President M. L. Johnson, of the Georgia division, Southern Cotton Association, has written a strong letter to euch county presi dent in Georgia urging them to keep up the good work of the as sociation. Mr. Johnson calls attention to the victory that has crowned the efforts of tiie association. He asks that the biggest rally of the ycur be held on the first Tuesday in NoVemlier and urges the cotton growers to stand together. The letter in full follows: “Cass Station, Ga., October 25, 1600. Dear Sir: We are unquestion ably winning. It is the other fellow who is now faciifg a condi tion and not a theory. Thespecu lative, spinning and consuming worl<{ is facing the condition of the cotton producers—sitting steady— holding cotton—fixing the price, and not selling for less. Let not one falter. It is a com mon cause, identical interests and whipping the same enemy, “Every bale of cotton held has enhanced the value of that sold Therefore in the fight not a bale should sell, unless it be absolute distress. Yet such need not be, every county in Georgia can take care of every bale therein. “Be not fooled by misleading statements. Read between the lines. Is really the frost scare making cotton advance? Possibly, to some extent. The real cause, the main cause, is the farmers holding, and they say it is the frost because they do not want you to know that you are doing it. I tell you that it is you, and 1 want you to realize your power! and know the* weight of your ac tion. “Therefore, in view of the facts and the approaching first Tuesday in November—I most earnestly urge you to rally your people on this regular meeting day and more thoroughly organize increase your membership— provide for taking care of distress cotton in your county and procure as near un animity as possible. “Beyond a doubt the time is at hand for their effort. Let us press our advantage to its utmost ami future victories will lie more easily won. Yours for anoth er victory, “M. L. Johnson, “Pres. Ga. Div. H. C. A.” not by the crowd that works for them. Dear friends, lie very care ful who you vote for, and be sure he is a temperance man; for we lit tle folks who are growing up would like lo have good examples to go by. Remember, boys make men, and the boys of Newnan will some day help to make the laws of Georgia. The kind of mun they make will depend a good deal on the kind of leaders they have. We are sure that some of you older people think we are a weak little set, and so we are; but with our mother, the Woman’s Chris- tian Temperance Union, to hack us, we’ll make you open your eyes some day. We’ll rise up, and down alcohol. Our Legion was represented at the Woman's Gonvention by our lady manager, Mrs. R. J. Barnett, and Mrs. <’. IL Hollis, assistant manager; and we were highly rec ommended by a lady who visited us last summer. We are few in number, and small in stature, but we will count some day. We will ask the citi zens of Newnan to help us all they can to save our town from the drink curse by living good, honest, temperance lives. Young as we are, we have learned that many homes in our land have been ruin ed by strong drink. We little folks don’t want whiskey to lie where we will ever see it when we get grown. Perhaps there are lots of folks who don’t know what our pledge is. it is this: God helping me, I promise not to buy, drink, sell or give alcoholic liquors while I live; from all tobacco i’ll abstain, and never take God’s name in vain.
