Those making addresses of note were: Cols. W, D. Heartsell of Spring Place and R. N. Steed, of Eton. Col, Steed’s response to the welcome address could not be surpassed by any one in the state. W. D. Ileartsill, when called on for a speech said he was not an orator, but a plain plow hoy, which the convention adopted and gave him the name of “The Plow Boy Orator.” It was con¬ ceded by all present that his speech was the main feature of the occasion. Other delegates attending from Murray county were I. N. Stuart and Hardy Ryan, Ohatsworth; M. L. Roberts, Spring Place; J. P, Naney, Dr. S. A. Brown and John Black, Eton ; J. A. Owens, J. H.

Oxford, 81 Hamilton St., Dalton Ga. 8 1 0-1 WHITFIELD COUNTY DRIVES OX CARTS. NOT ML RAY Editor Argus; In an article on April 15 headed “Fanners, Gome to Town With Much Cot ton” the writer seems to be in a quandary as to where it came from. He seems to have heard it was from Murray county. And he says, “one fact which seems to contradict this statement is to be found in the fact that Mur¬ ray county usually drives ox teams and there is not an ox team in the whole carravan.” Each team was drawn by a spank¬ ing good pair of horses ora well fed pair of mules. After twenty-five years expe¬ rience with the farmers of Mur¬ ray county 1 desiie to say that the facts he mentions would make me believe that the cotton came from that county, as those are the kind of teams they drive. Many ox teams are drawn through this county to Dalton, and well may Dalton wish for them to increase for they come from the mountain section of North Georgia, and are driven by citizens from the mountains of which a Georgian might well be proud. Respectfully, S. E. BERRY. Tunnel Hill, Ga., April 16, 1909. Editorial Note— Now, Prof Berry has gone and given us away. We wanted to make it appear that we raised that cotton, even if we had to tell a fib about, it Why will some people always meddle in other people’s business? There’s one thing about it all that’s true. If Murray does have more horses and mules than Whitfield, she hasan’t got, an au¬ tomobile. Hoot, mon, she didn't have a railroad until a year or so ago. —Dalton Argus. Merchants, ship your produce to Clark & Stuart, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Stuart of this firm is a son of Mr. V. A.
