APRIL FIRST
LAST TAG DAY
Sheriff E. S. Garner ask this paper
to again call attention to the fact
that strict enforcement of the auto
mobile tag law will start in Gwinnett
county on the first day of April.
The state law fixes March Ist as
the last lay on which a 1923 auto
tag can be used. Sheriff Garner as
was the case with some othre county
sheriffs, gave another month and has
granted the use of the old tag in this
county until April first. With this
date only a few days off a large
number of owners have still failed to
get the 1924 tag andare already
violating the law.
Sheriff Garner states that applica
tion blanks for 1924 may be obtain
ed at his office* Before a tag will
be issued by the state department in
Atlanta the application must be sign
ed by the county sheriff. The fee
allowed for this signature is SI.OO
All deputies have been notified to
be on the lookout for cars and trucks
■ not having the new tag and it is
estimated that around 500 cases will
be ready and presented to the Sept
ember grand jury for violation of
this law.
Car and truck owners not without
the newtags canonly escape by keep
ing their vehicles off the CFwinnett
roads or by securing application for
license tag signed by the sheriff and
abtaining said tag before the first
day of April.
Person living out ofthis county
will also suffer the law unlessneces
sary tags are secured bythatdate.
Get your tag or store your car; don’t
get out without the tag if you don’t
want to get caught.
MARRIAGES.
Mr. Noah Born and Miss Ethel
Jones were joined in holy matrimony
on March 15th, Rev. Wiley W. Owen,
of Buford, officiating.

SALSBURY
Cotton Planting
Seed
For Heavy Production and Early Maturity *
A NEW VARIETY
SALSBURY IS DISTINCT
. SALSBURY is a distinct variety—the result of eight year’s plant breeding
by Professor J. W. Fox and Mr. E. C. Ewing, the experts of the Delta and Pine
Land Co. at Scott Miss. Commencing with an extra-early heavy-fruiting
strain of Wannamaker-Cleveland, these men have worked untiringly year
after year selecting and cross-breading, keeping the best and eliminating the
underesirable, until they produced SALSBURY, which we believe to be a per
feet cotton. It has all the disirable qualities of an early big-boll short cotton;
still, is worth a good premium in any market.
