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.

Williams 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 ed bv the president as a national ft|i|^ving Day, If ' j > 8 COL. E.

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 a 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.
