alarm. At an early hour Wednesday
morning, however, she suffered a com

Mr. J. B. Cole is building a nice
6-room residence for R. E. Washington
at White Oak.
We now have here one of the best
schools we have hod in a long time.
Mark our prediction: This is going
to be a good crop year. Everything
points that way. Farmers are rather
late with their work so fur, but the
ground will be freshly plowed when
planted, and the seed will spring up
and grow off, and a good yield will be
the result.
You will always find fresh fish and
oysters at Cole & Co.’s on Saturdays.
Our old friend, Sam Callahan, BayB
two months of Leap Year are nearly

What’s the matter, girlB? You may
lose a bargain if you don’t begin to
stir about.

This country seems to be drifting
towardB a monarchical form of govern
ment. Take, for instance, the case of
Tom Watson. Can’t any man with a
spoonful of brains Bee that all this out
cry against him is a political move, for
no other purpose than to kill his influ
ence? I am a Georgian, and proud
of it. I am also a Democrat, and do
not think we ought to be debarred
from expressing our opinions concern
ing the administration of our govern
ment, even if it does reflect upon our
party. I believe in fair play. Who
ever heard of a man being taken out of
bis own county dr State in order to get
a jury, not merely to try, but to con
vict him? A change of venue is only
granted in cases where an impartial
jury cannot be obtained. Id Mr. Wat
son’s case it speaks well for him, be
cause he has among hia following some
as true men as Georgia ever produced.
Point out to me a man in Georgia who
haB a purer record behind him than has
Mr. Watson. Enough of a thing is
enough, and should Watson run for
Congress in his district I wish him suc
cess, as we need men of his sort in
Washington.
Several of our county candidates were
down to see us last week. They are
all clever, and we wish we could vote
