“LARKLAND” WILL FURNISH BIG FUN
FOR VISITORS TO ATLANTA FAIR
Atlanta, Ga. —(Special.)—Fun and
plenty of it will be the slogan at the
first annual Southeastern Fair in At
lanta, October 14 to 21, inclusive.
You can plan for it right now by
going to your home bank and buying
one of the little blue keys for fifty
cents, which will admit you to the fair,
and may result in making you the
owner of a thousand dollar Reo auto
mobile on the closing night.
Tins little blue key is nothing more
ncr less than an admission ticket with
which you unlock the gate yourself,
and at the same time put your name
on the list of those from whom the
lucky owner of the Reo automobile
will be chosen. These keys will be
on sale in every country hank in
Georgia before October 1. They are
good for admission just like a ticket.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
* • ~ JLu
For Congress
1 hireby announce myself as acan
didate for congress for the 7th dis
trict in the National election to he
held on November 7th, as the regu
lar republican nominee and if elect
ed 1 pledge myself to do everything
in my power to advance the inter
ests of our people. The democratic
primary will be held on September
12 to select its candidate and in
view of the fact that both candidates
in this primary are running on the
same principles I respectfully urge
the voters to refrain from voting
that part of the ticket and leave
themselves perfectly free to choose
between our respective platforms,
which I will try to discuss with the
voters before the final election.
Very truly yours,
W. AKER MAN.

For Clerk
I hereby announco myself inde
pendent candidate for Clerk of the
Superior Court. I solicit the sup
port of every voter and if elected I
promise to servo the people faith
fully and impartially. Holding that
to serve the people is the first duty
of every public oflicial, if elected, 1
shall strive at all times to make the
office serve the majority and not the
minority.
DEED BIRD.
Having received strong solicita
tion from many good Democrats and
citizens generally, I have decided to
announce as a candidate for Clerk of
Superior Court of Walker county.
I believe in the good old demo
cratic doctrine that the expressed
wishes of a majority of the people
should he respected in the public
affairs of the county, and earnestly
ask the support of every voter.
When an oflicial has received the
endorsement of a majority of the
people, I regard it as his duty to
respect the rights and interests of a
majority by performing his full
duty impartially under the law; and
if he fails to do so, he has no just
claim to their further support.
If elected, I promise to faithfully
perform the duties of the office im
partially, and without favor to any
claso, person or faction. It will he
my pleasure, as well as duty, to
serve all parties with equal prompt -
ness and fidelity.
