And yet there are people
who say Chatts worth will
nevei amount to anything.
Springtime has certainly
come this gentle Annie, and
the fruit crop is safe from the
chilling blasts of winter.
We are authorized by Sam
lligpon to announce through
our paper, to his friends
and the general public, that
he is no longer in the race
for representative, and gives
as his reason for coming
down that he was afraid that,
as the other candidates with
himself had mutual friends,
he w’as afraid of stirring up
too much strife in the demo¬
cratic party. He comes down
in favor of no one, in the race
for representative, but says
he will appreciate it if his
friends will support Clark
Howell for governor.
President M. L. Johnson,
of the Georgia division of the
Southern Cotton Association,
made one of the most sensi¬
ble talks to the farmers last
Tuesday that has been made
in Spring Place m many days.
If our people would take half
the advice given them by Col.
Johnson, there would be a
great revolution in our good
old county. “Plant less cot
ton and raise more of the
things to eat for bothj man
and beast, and hold your cot¬
ton till you get the price you
ask for it’ ’ was some of the
good advice given, just as
long as the human race wears
clothes, just as long as the
cotton mills are in existence,
just that long there will be
cotton raised. It is up to the
cotton grower as to whether
the price will be seven or
fifteen cents.
If we are not very much
mistaken, the Iloke boom
has about fallen through it¬
self. You have heard j j
these , grea , ooms A owns \
sometimes have. Lots will
sell at fabulous prices, because
the boom is on. Then when
the excitement attending such
things and the voice of the
auctioneer is stilled, these
lots can scarcely be given
away. A few of his loyal
friends tried to organize a
Smith club here Tuesday but {
the , , boom heard , j { from said • ,
organization oidn’t ... , make , as
much fuss as a fire cracker
with the -pd bit off—just a
kind of a spew.
Mr. Smith is one of the
finest orators in the south,
first class on jokes, as fine a
specimen of humanity as can
be found anywhere and taken
all together, Is the very kind
of a man to attract attention
and sway the people to and
fro with his eloquence. The
voters ot Murray county have
had time to reflect on tilings
since they listened his speech
and, as was evidenced by the
by the number attending the
organization of the club nam¬
ed for him Tuesday, we are
of the opinion that after due
thought on the subject, the
people have decided that “all
is not gold that glitters” and
rather than take after a “false
god” they had better stick
to one who is true and tried.
THE BANK HABIT.
1 * 088 ibly you have never kept
a bank account. If not, let ns
suggest ttiat you try the experi¬
ment. YOU will find it helpful
in many ways. Aside from the
fact that your money will be safe
from thefts and fire, such a habit
tends to thrift, economy, discip¬
line, and a general understand¬
ing of business principles, all of
which are essential to success.
It also affords a convenient
method for the payment of bills;
and, as the checks are always
preserved and returned to you,
they serve as positive and indis¬
putable receipts. One dollar
will open the account.

The People Themselves.
Senator’Hemenway tells of an
incident that occurred during a
political campaign in Iowa, says
the New York Times.
In one of the towns it had been
arranged that, when the big
orators of the day had their say
with reference to politics, there
were to be a number of enter¬
tainments of the sideshow variety
to be held on the common.
A pompous politician, who hud
served a term in the State Leg¬
islature, and was by reason of
the fact on extremely good terms
with himself, while endeavoring
with a number of ladies to make
his way through a dense crowd
that surrounded one of the shows,
found himself unable to process
further because of a burly indi¬
vidual whom he could not thrust
aside. Drawing himself up to
full height the politician tapped
the offending one on the shoul¬
der, saying as he did so : “Here!
Make way there!”
“Who are you, that you should
push me around that way?” de¬
manded the native.
“A representative of the people
sir!” exclaimed the politician
indignantly.
The man grinned. “Oh, that
ain’t nothin’, ” said he. “We
folks here air the peepnl tlieir
selves!”

A good story is told of John R.
Thomas, of Muskogee, a well
known lawyer of that city, who
was formerly judge of the Wes
n city> who was formerly
j u q ge of the Western district,
says the Kansas City Journal,
One nignt Thomas found
ina shabby little town which
had no hotel. Desiring to stay
all night he asked a lounger m
front of a grocery store where he
might find accommodations. The
lounger went inside of the

44 Well, if that’s the fellow, he
had better pay me vvhat he owes
me before asking me for any
favors.”
“How is that?” querried the
lounger. “Is he is debt to you?”
“Yes,” replied the Indian.
“When he was judge in Musko¬
gee I was brought before him for
selling liquor. I was convicted
and in sentencing me said: “i
give you 60 days in jail and $100.’

A Kansas Wedding.
Country editors all have to
“write up” many weddings.
There is one wedding they all
seem to enjoy describing. Here
is an instance of literary and
personal felicity from the “Leona
(Kan.) Hustler:”
“The bride wore a beautiful
dress of French lawn, at least
that’s what they say it was.
“The groom (that means ‘we’)
wore the customary black nand
me-down, and was about scared
to death.
“There were no bridesmaid or
best man, because the groom did
not think that lie could find
better man than himself.
“Miss Randolph is a peach;
most of her beauty is natural,
and she looks good to us; she is
one of our schoolmates and we
know fcan throw a brick with
remarkable accuracy. A sample
of her rare nerve is shown bv her
vowing to ‘love, honor, etc.’
“The other interested party is
a joke, he came to Leona in the
fall of ’86, without clothes or
money, and is now free from al!
financial debt. There are others
just as bad and they are not in
the penitentiary either.”

To the General Public:
Notice is hereby given to
one and ail.
Barrett, Denton & Linn, of
this place, have refused to
sell me any more flour, as I
sell it cheaper than other
merchants. Now my kind
patrons I’ll have a good flour
just as good as “acme” or any
other brand, and if you stand
by me we will break up this
Dalton Trust between the
Dalton merchants and mill,
so when in town come to see
me; the man who sells you
everything cheaper than the
other man.
Yours truly,
HULL KERR.
