CRANDALL
Mr. Editor:—W e don’t see
anything in your paper from this
place. 1 thought 1,would write
a few words. Everybody seems
to have the pale bill about Their
cotton crop. We don’t see but
one man in this section that is
enjoying life, that man is in
charge of. the Allaculsa Lumber
Company, J. W. Beard. He may
be overjoyed of the idea," that
his two car loads of. corn cobs
are at Wetmore ready to come
down the new line of railnftul by
March 1st. 11)00. He will give
a lot of men and boys a job.
Wo also learn that lion. • A. W.
Fite and Hon. Gordon Lee, are
to have a Badger Fite on or
about, the 1st of Aug. l.HJb.
Said Fite to take p ace at Co
hutta Springs. Col. Sam P.
Maddox is to pull the Badger as
he is a man that will do the fair
thing; also, lie can stand the
sight of blood without making
him sick or exciting him anyway.
After said Fite, Fite is to Fite
publicly. Hon. Gordon Lee
will still hunt the balance of the
year. I guess lloke Smith has
already taken the oath of office
as Governor of Ga. “We don’t
hear anything in the upper end
of Murray about it, If Col.
EsteU makes the race Murray
will give him a neat majority
over Snvith or Howell either.'
Smith outrun any man 1 ever
saw when he first come out, but
it is all bio wed away now. By
flic time the election comes oil,
it will lie blowed so far it will
never come back. There is a
man up here that is personally ac
