extended to everyone to attend.
The Sentinel was $1.50 a year before the war, dur
ing the war, and after the war. The regular rate
is still $1.50 a year, but this special reduced rate is
offered for the month of JULY because we know
conditions are unusual and we are willing to take
our share of the loss everybody is having to bear.
We want everybody in the county to read The Sen
tinel. It is under new management, Miss Eula King
having recently taken charge as editor and manager.
It is our purpose to enlarge and improve the paper as
rapidly as circumstances and patronage will permit. We
especially desire a correspondent from every community
in the county, for we want to fill the paper with all the
news of all of Douglas County.
_ At the old=time price of $1 a year,
nobody can afford to be without the
home paper.

DOWN IN GEORGIA
There’s a little bit o’ heaven In the
skies so bright and blue,
There’s a bit o’ heaven’s music when
the bluebird sings to yon,
There’s a little bit o’ laughter, and
I hope to catch i 4 t too,
When summer brings the roses back!
to Georgia.
There’s a little bit o’ Ireland in the
clover’s sweet perfume
There’s a little bit o’ Holland where
| the nodding tulips bloom,
We would welcome everybody, if we
only had the room;
For we know they would be happy
down in Georgia.
There’s a little bi|t o’ laughter in the
honey-laden breeze
And thre”s many a golden fortune
for the yellow-legged boes
neath the whispering trees
There’s a little bit o’ paradise be-
When summer comes a-courtln*
back to Georgia..
There’s a little bit o’ croonin’ whelt
the banjo hits a tune
There’s a little bi.t o’ spoonin’ whftti
May “sets up” to June.
There’s many a dream o’ heaven be** 1
neath a harvest moon;
When nature sings her love-sonar
down in Georgia.
