While standing in front of hi* car,
Fred Wright, driving at great speed
ran into him knocking him to t

POULTRY SALE
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Second Sale of Season To Open At
Nine and Clue At Three. Agent
Nesmith Write*
The second poultry sale of the
sonson will be held at the Georgia
Depot, Wednesday May 23rd. Tho
sale will open at 9:00 o’clock and
close at 3:30 o'clock P. M. No prices
have been received yet, but any one
who cares to ascertain prices can do
so by calling me Saturday. There
will also be a price list posted on
*ho window of the Chamber of Com
merce as soon as received and any
one can get price.** from there.
There were a few birds brought
to the last sale that had been over
fed with grain. Please do not do
this .as it causes the buyer consider
able losses in transportation. Fur
ther, all birds that come in over fed
with grain will either be refused or
docked five per cent at the discre
tion of the seller. Fowls cannot
digest grain without grit. There is
not grit in a poultry car and if the
crops are full of grain at the time
they are confined to the car coops
the food sours in the craws and the
birds usually die or lose considerable
weight in transportation.
This ia probably the last sale of the
season. Whether or not we have an
other sale depends entirely on the
price received and the amount of
tonnage obtained on the route.

MASS MEETING
SUNDAY EVEN
Matter of Orfani ration of Associat
ed Charities To Be Discaaaed.
Churches Join Plan
There will be a mass meeting of
the citizens of Milledgevillc on Sun
day evening, May the 20th, at 8:00
•’clock P. M., in the Chautauqua tent,
at which time the matter of an or
ganization of As*>cisties Charities
of this community will be discussed
and plans formulated for its organ
ization.
All the churches of the com
munity have agreed to combine in the
interest of this meeting and the same
will he a Union Service of the
Christian people of this ctiy.
A need for the Associated Chari
ties to take care of the request for
financial assistance that arc con
stantly being made upon our citizens
have been keenly felt by the business
men nnd others and as a result of it
this mass meeting has been called.
Progressive cities all have these
organizations to relieve private indi
viduals of this burden. The City
Council and County Authorities are
cooperating in this enterprise and in
many inutnees beggars are prohibited
upon the streets.
Milledgevillc citizens contribute a
great deal of time and money to the
local institutions that are here and
when out*, ler calls are made upon
them by transients, beggar.:, tramps
and others, most frequently an un
just imposition is the result.
It is expected that this mass meet
ing will take definite steps to have
this organization perfected and this
unfair burden lifted from the indivi
duals of thiB community.
At an election held the past week,
Messrs Frank Bone, J. R. Normcnt,
