R. D. Cole was elected a member of
the hoard of tux equalizers, to fill tho
unexpired term of the late P. li. Mur-

over they could not have selected a
better man for this difficult and re
sponsible position, and the board us
well as the public are to be congratu
lated. Public-spirited yet conservative,
and actuated by a patriotic sense of
duty in everything that he undertakes
for the welfare of his town and county,

ship in the Southern School of Teleg

When Mr. G. E. Jenkins, Campbell
county’s popular sheriff, took his de
parture from Palmetto for Fairburn he
was presented with a beautiful watch
chain and charm by his many friends
of that hustling little city. For a num
ber of years Mr. Jenkins had been the
city marshal of Palmetto, and had en
deared himBelf to every one in the
town. It was with much regret that
they gave him un to assume the duties
of his higher office. The presentation
of the beautiful gift was made by Mr.
Charles Jackson. Everyone acquainted
with Ed Jenkins knows that he never
gets “full,” but he admits himself that
this was one time when he was “too
full for utterance.” — Fairburn Mes

A deputation of citizens, including
Messrs. R. D. Cole, T. M. Goodrum, H.
H, North, Geo. I,. Wynn and G. E.
Parks, appeared before the County Com
missioners Wednesday and made a
strong plea for an appropriation to sup
plement the sum already raised by pri
vate subscription with which to con
tinue farm demonstration work in this
county. The amount required is $500,
and it was shown that $225 of the sum
needed had been secured from private
sources, leaving $275 to be raised. Af
ter hearing from the delegation the
Commissioners agreed to make the
appropriation requested, thus assuring
a continuance of this important and
much-needed work. It is not known as
yet who will be assigned to this terri
tory, but efforts are being made to have
Mr. H. G. Wiley returned here for
another year. The action of the Com
missioners in making an appropriation
to aid in carrying on demonstration
work in Coweta will be approved by
every citizen of the countv-.
