Don’t Forget To Register.
Houston Democrats should not
forget that they cannot vote in
the primary on June 6th if on
May 26th they have not register
ed. This requirement is by order
of the state executive committee,
and by order of the county com
mittee.
In order that the inconvenience
of registering be reduced to the
minimum, a book has been placed
at every voting precinot in every
district of the county.
At Perry citizens of any district
can register, and the book is open
every day in the Ordinary’s office.
At the other precincts, each voter
must register in his own district.
Voting is equally a privilege
and a duty, and every good citi
zen should vote. If it be embar
rassing to choose between two
friends, candidates for the same
office, it should be remembered
that if you fail to choose, the
choise may be made by some one
less competent.
The vote will be for candidates
for all Georgia offices to be filled
by election this year, and so far
as Houston offices are poucerned,
the nomination is equivalent to
an election.
The Primary Precincts.
By order of the County Demo
cratic Executive committee, the
Voting precincts for the primary
on JJJune 6th next will be the
same as those authorized in 1900.
In that primary the polls were
open at 18 precincts, as follows:
Perry, Fort Valley, Powersville,
Byron. LaVilla, Oeuterville,Well-
ston, Bonaire, Kathleen, Heard,
Grovania, Hayneville, Elko, Hen
derson, Taylor’s, Haslam’s, Myr
tle, Claud, and there could have
been voting at Dennard and Oak
Grove.
The total vote in 1900 was 1,-
286.
Death Of Mr. T. T. Martin.
At 4 o’cIock last Sunday morn
ing Mr. Thomas T. Martin died at
the home of his brother, Mr. J.
Dallas Martin, in Perry.
At 6 o’clock Sunday afternoon,
the burial was at Evergreen Cem
etery, with Masonic honors, fol
lowing the religious service con
ducted by Rev. Albert S. Dix,
pastor of the Perry Baptist
church.
He was born in Tennessee in
1848, served as a musician in the
Confederate army, and came to
Georgia in 1871, joining his broth
er and others of the family, who
came here in 1869.
In 1866 he became a member of
the Baptist church and for a num
ber of years had been a faithful
and zealous Mason, in early years
a member of Houston Lodge No.
85.
For twenty years or more he
lived in Perry, a good man and
true, most highly esteemed. Sev
eral of the last years of his life
were spent at Vienna, and from
there he returned to Perry about
8 months ago, being seriously af
flicted with a cancer in his mouth.
He suffered much, but he bore
the affliction with Christian forti
tude, and the assurance is strong
that he has been called to eternal
peace and happiness.
Surviving him are three broth
ers and a sister; he having been
unmarried.
The sympathy of many friends
is with the bereaved relatives.

—Mr. Miller G. Marshall has
gone to Maoon and is now in bus
iness with the Reid Shoe Com
pany of that city. For several
years he has been in business
in Perry with Mr. L. M. Paul,
and h^s proven himself a business
man of exceptional merit. He is
apt, courteous, an excellent judge
of goods and value, correct and
just in all transactions. His
many friends regret that he has
seen proper to leave Perry, but if
the change is for his good, they
cordially congratulate him. Mil-
lee has the characteristics that
will surely make him a winner in
the game of life.
—Tax Receiver Stafford was in
Perry last Monday, and says the
people are fairly prompt in re
turning their property for taxa
tion. He is inclined to think
there will be some increase in the
total valuation, though he has
not ye t been able to make any
definite comparison with the re
turns of last year. His second
round of appointments will be
completed next Tuesday after
noon, at Bass’ store.
—Within the last several weeks
a great many fish have been
caught at “Houston Factory”
with hook and liue and in the
trap. Last Tuesday we are told
two young men of Perry, Howard
Miller and Fred Schilling, caught
about 80 pounds of bream and
perch, many of them weighing
asjmuch as a pound each. They
spent the day there and came
home triumphant late in the af
ternoon and talked of their great
sport and good luck. There is
another part of the story, howev
er, to the affeot that a considera
ble portion of these fish were
caught with a “silver hook” from
the trap*
—Mrs. S. M. Ogburn, mother
of Mrs. E. J. Thompson of near
Perry, died last Friday night at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
R. L. Jolly, at Winchester. She
had been there several weeks on a
visit, and was sick most of the
timo. Mrs. Ogburn was 68 years
old, a most estimable Christian
lady. She lived at Delta, Macon
county. The bereaved ones have
the sincere sympathy of their
many friends.
—From the Maccn Telegraph
of May 1st, we clip the following
item: “Mrs. Tempest Johnson
died at her home in Byron and
