GA. PRODUCTS DINNER A GREAT SUCCESS.
Ifhe dinner served at the court
house Tuesdav evening was one
of ithe most important events
that has hanpened in Douglas-
ville in a long time.
Everybody seemed to catch the
spirit of progress that this
occasion has aroused thoughout
the state, and when we realize
that nearly a hundred such
meetings were held in Georgia
Tuesday evening we can begin
to remember the tremendous
effects.
If we knew exactly how many
people throughout the state
attended these meetings we
could tell you how many people
loyal citizens than they were a
week ago.
Hon. Eb T. Williams accompa
nied, by Mrs. Williams came out
from to represent the State
Chamber of Commerce and made
a rousing speech ip behalf Of this
great organization.
The local speakers were enthu
siastic, one of them in saying he
would have been ashamed: of
himself had he not come out and
wasasha tried of those who could
come and didn’t, expressed the
sentiment of those present,.
Following is the menu and
program of the occasion that
will long be remembered as a
THANKS GIVING.
j&K: Winston Team l. O. O. F.
The Winston team came down
Monday night and put on the
first degree for Douglasville
Lodge. This is the team that
won first prize in the recent
contest at the Division meeting
and they have in some respects
improved in their work. It|i|;
doubtful if there is a lodge in
Georgia that can put on this
degree better than Winston..
Come again brethren you are
»*iways welcome.

In jpnany ways Thanksgiving
is one of our, most delightful
events- It comes at a time when
the rigors of winter are not vet
at hand. We have at our dis-
posalall the varied products of
the soil, and the time for a
season of partial re?t for the
farmer is at; hand. One,of its
most delightful features, which
has become quite general is fee
gathering together under ithe old
roof-tree of all the scattered
sons and daughters on this day.
Two, three and sometimes four
generations thus meetaround the
festive and hospitable table of
the old homestead, and thus fra
ternal ties are strengthened and
filial piety encouraged.
The greatest day in America
should be one of rejoicing and
thanksgiving by all the people.
This is the time when the whole
nation gives thanks for the bless
ings of the year, £ hahksgiving
Day Was first established in the
United States by the Pilgrims at
Plymouth, New'England, replac
ing Christmas, the great family
festival, and has been gradually
adopted in other parts of the
country. Congress recommended
days of thanksgiving annually
during the Revolution and Wash
ington, in 1879, after the adop
tion of the constitution. Other
days of national thanksgiying
have been proclaimed, and since
1863 the last Thursday in Novem
ber has been annually proclaim

Cheap Paint
The cheapest paint is the one that
goes fathest and wears best; there is
most in a gallon of it, ,
What is a quart of milk worth?
Depends on the milk.
So of paint; depends on the paint.
Devoe is worth the top price, what
ever it is. Poor paint is worth nothing
at all; you’ve got to p^y your painter
$3 $4 a gallon for putting it on; and i§
isn’t worth it.
Devoe goes twice as far and wears
twice or three times or/pur times ar
long.
The cheap paint is Devoe at the top
of the market. DEVOE.
J. L, Sslman & Son soli our paint, ndv

the fall business mostly passed,
I deem it a proper and opportune
time to call attention to my fel
low citizens to the fast approach-
ng primaries that come- oft -in
the spring, for the nomination
of a candidate for Judge of the
Superior Court, Tallapoosa Cir
cuit.
God permitting, I shall be a
candidate for this position, and
ask the earnest consideration
and support of all the people of
our county and circuit.
The office I am seeking Jis no
mean position, and I trust I
realize, and I, call the attention
of the people generally to its
importance. I know when I
ask you to vote for me for this
position, that it amounts to ask
ing you to commit the keeping
and protection of not only your
property, but also your person
to be under the guidance of the
law. Public confidence, prosper!
ty, protection of life and proper
ty, and the general enforcement
of law in the interest or grganiz-r
ed society, are all dependant
more or less upon the judge on
the bench. All people, of every
class in the circuit, are therefore
interested in securing the very
best man obtainable for the posi
tion.
In my judgment a man should
possess certain qualifications to
fit him for this position of honor
and trust: First above all,'he
should be HONEST, every fibre
of him both warp and filling
should from inheritance, educar
tion an,d trailing know nothing
but to be true. Second: He
should have good COMMON
SENSE and a reasonable knowk
edge of the law. Third:, He
should understand human nature
ay actual experience ai d corij-
tact. Fourth: No tra e
malice or retribution should
have a place in his make up to
predudice or influence his action 1 .
These qualifications, unless I
ana deceived!n myself, I believe
I possess,, therefore, I the more
cheerfully and oonfidently pre-
sent my eandida.cy and ask that
you honor me with this position
of trust, and if elected I will
endeavor to administer the laws,
tempered with mercy, equally,
justly and promptly to all alike.
As it takes four conn ties lo
make up our circuit, ;d d h
one is equally interested, and
neither would be.wiiliny, to Uar
all the |g or the circuit
judge alone, therefore,.genei aily|
sink out of rfeieEiibfar.ee, ai cK
the people of
in all matters in which all ni'M
vitally interested, howeyt i «
in this oneness of brotherben
all and. each should be recog-tl
nized as his brother’s equal, and
Spirit of sectional selfishri ss
should be allowed to deprive ex:r
mutual burden-bearer of his reSk-
onable share of any ho hois
benefits that may accrue by rea
son of-the union.
Therefore, coming eluxr to
the point, if.every^section of the
circuit (counting by ecu,ties)
has had the honors of suj plying
a judge except the county of
Douglas, then she, having waited
until the last, is justly entitled
tp the honor at this time accord-
inj to jail principles of rotation
and: “turn about is fair play”,:
•provided she puts forth a suita-
ble knd proper person for the
place.
In entering this race I am
resolved that, let happen what
may I am determined to run a
clean race, working for myself
and leaving it with the people
to judge as to whether I am
best qualified for this position of
trust or not, and if any one,
even my best friend should’
after investigation, find fhat it
is to the best interest of the
circuit for me to be etected, then
I .. .shall have no cause to be
offended in the slightest if he
should so vote, but if on the
othe ? llftft you should vote that
T am' qualified, no man can enter
the face that will appreciate your
support more than myself.
Thanking you in advance for
any and dll favors shown me,
qnd hoping to have a communi-
dation from you, either public
or private, I will ever remain
Very truly yours,
Eldred S. Lumpkin,
Lithia Springs, Ga.
