Mr. Taft thinks the White
House seems quite homelike.
As soon as one man shoots an¬
other then they discover that
they knew all along he Avas crazy.
The Secretary of the TrofiSlIVy
might send around a quart or so
of the new gold coins so we can
see if we like them.
The Chint Emperor died of
(4 nephritis, diabetes, and sciati
ca, n ot to mention heart failure,
want of breath, and a little poison
added to make a sure job.
A Chicago Magistrate ordered
a man not. to si )f >ak to his wife or i
permit her to speak to him the forj
two weeks. Problem; Was I
man convicted or acquitted?

A St Louis woman wants a |
diverse because her husband has
given her only one hat and one
dress in 25 years- There is no
justice in the courts if she does
not Avin a suit this time.
When M r. Kern is elected Sen¬
ator from Indiana, we feel sure
“Sunny Jim” Sherman is good
natured enough to call him to
ti the chair” at an early date, in
order to let him see how it feels.
A Chicago man who deserted
his wife and children to marry
his “affinity” was recently beat¬
en into a pulp by the said affinity.
There probably isn’t anybody in
the world who never does any¬
thing praiseworthy.
A Chicago policeman who in
stituted a raid and then failed to
recognize a faro layout is going
to be discharged. In this case
as usual, innocence is its only re¬
ward.
When Jin: Woodard was nomi¬
nated mayor of Atlanta the peo¬
ple knew he got drunk occasion
ly. Noav let them swallow their
dose and elect him as the regu¬
lar Democratic nominee.
Rumor says that the Princess
de Sagan formerly Countess Cas¬
tellano and still more formerly
Anna Gould is going to get a di¬
vorce from her present princely
husband. As she married the
Prince to spite the Count she
may now be contemplating re
quarrying the Count to spite the
Prince. Ain’t it awful?
And now Bryan says he will
again be a candidate in 1912, if
the Democrat? nominate him.
No doubt about him being nomi¬
nated, provided there are enough
Democrats left to hold a conven- j
tion. Why not make Bryan a;
(( Perpetual Candidate” aud save i
the expense of holding nomina-1
tions.

Card of Thanks
We deeply appreciate Port Valley’s magnificent vote of Satur*
It strengthens the faith, always held, that it is safe to
proposition to the fairmindedne*of til flic people. The great
especially of Fort Valley ; . Hs he r< suit of the
shows—believe in fair play and a “square deal »»
It has taken 12 years for the telephone business to become
supporting, and we always had the utmost confidence that Fort
people would not get the benefit of our *13,658.80 investment
for a dozen years, and then try to t ite ;'<ut us when it
some profit.
We wish to especially thank the telephone subscribers for the
way they rallied to to their exchange. It. has always been
solely in their interest, and this policy will be continued.
Many remained away from the polls indicating their <PP<>; itioii to
taxes, but our subscribers generally were cut I b 1 M work
against the bonds, showing their hearty co-operation with us,
we greatly appreciate.
The fact that only 13 subscribers voted against us, 10 of them
accounted for, makes this quit* the most unanimous;
that ever happened in Fort Valley, and increases our obliga¬
to the subscribers to give them the very best service possible;
the handicapping conditions surrounding us
