Douglasville People
Dear Bro. Duke—Please allow
me space in the Sentinel to
extend to the good people of
Douglasville, one mid all, my
heartfelt thanks for every kind
ness shown to me or mine while
,i resident of jour town. Even
iho “cup of water” can never
t>? forgotten, the palling years
nor changing scones oblit
erate from memory your unstin
ted kindness, it will be held
sacred forever.
y, ever 1 win able to do for
you from the youngest babe to
the oldest man or woman was
ghdly done, was prompted ly
;,i<vi. ut love. If in the future,
I, by j’uance, should meet with
you or yours I shall be actuated
by the same spirit, shall gladly
serve,
I shall miss the church servi
ces. the Sunday school, the
prayer meeting, the Boy Scouts,
the Red Cross and a thousand
other memories more enduring
than bronze or gold. I wish for
all the highest and best.
By the time your readers shall
see this I shall be engrossed in
my duties at Paris Island, lost in
the multitude of a great army
whose colors for a hundred and
fifty years have never been
trailed in the dust, have neyer
been hauled down by the strong
est foe, nor neither will they
now. They will be borne back
home gloriously when the en
emies guns have been silenced
forever, to float over a land
“Bounded on tdie North by theicy lakes
On the South by the milky way.
Bounded on the East by the rising sun.
On the West by the Judgment Day.”
Dear friends, one and all, good
bye, good bye!
With love and all good wishes,
I am Sincerely Yours,
J. C. Atkinson.

Chicken Thieves
Douglasville seems at the
present to he infested with chic
ken thieves. Reports have corr e
to us from a number of people
who have lost a large number of
fowls, particularly fryers.
The editor of the Sentinel has
lost some twenty or twenty-fiye.
A bull dog or a shot gun are
very efficient in such cases, and
we suggest that everyone who
has chickens provide themselves
with one or both of these reme
dies and that an immediate stop
be put to this prowling business,

Letter From the Georgia
Chamber of Cemmerce
Explaining System of
Establishing a Market
For All Kinds of Pro*
ducts.
ili- L. Ll.lJ :fl r .4,
Atlanta, Ga.,
September 21, 1917'.
Editor Douglas County Sentinel, 1!
Douglasville, Ga.:
Dear Sir—We note editorial in
your last issue with reference fo
the great need of a marketing
company in your city and county,
and we wish to advise yon of the
plan proposed by the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, and
being carried out with marked
success by a number of counties
in the state:
Have the business men and
prominent citizens form a ware
house company for storing food
products, the warehouse to be in
charge of a competent man who
will- make a small charge for
storage, assembling, standard
izing, etc., issuing a receipt to
the farmer for the goods stored.
The warehouse company will
agree to advance the farmer a
small amount on his storage
receipt. The company need not
actually put up any money, hut
underwrite it for from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars.
The warehouse company, with
the assistance of the warehouse
man, will seek outside markets
for the products stored in the
warehouse, in carload lots, J'' - *'''-
ing the goods in storage sii >.ur
prices and selling when the de
mand is good.
The Georgia Chamber of Com
merce will assist all possible in
finding a market for prodacts
by putting the buyer and s-tktr
iu close touch with each other.
Please call on us when we can he
of service to you.
Faithfully yours,
Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
G. V. Kelley;,
Assistant Secretary,
Good Cattle for Georgia
Current newspaper articles
announce shipments, already
begun, of nearly 9,000 Short
horns and other varieties of high
grade cattle for breeding pur
poses, from Texas to various
points in Georgia.
The Department of Agriculture
calls attention to the fact that
tick-free cattle are being shipped
only to"Georgia counties which
have been freed of the tick.
Tick-infested counties cannot
afford to get these splendid cattle
for breeding purposes, and ran
only buy from tick-infested terri
tory. They may get some fair
stock, but cannot hope to get the
same splendid quality of breed
ing cattlejthat comes from the
tick-sections ofjTexas and other
statas.
Every Georgia county wants
the best, and to get it there is
only one thing to do—Get rid of
the cattle tick at once l
