Petty of the Cen tral of Georgia in n statement pub lished today extending cordial Christ mas greetings to the friends and pat rons of the railroad. “The year 1928 ha been one of rece wlon in mo* lines of business activity,” says Mr. Pelley, “and thisi ha- been felt in the South as well us in every *ther part of our country. Some of ! k is recession has been due to the uncertainty that invariably ac companies a national election, but >t is encouraging that the disturbance j of the economic structure has been lew than in other presidential elec tion years. With election issues w*4- th’d, the Central of Georgia believe* thut this country will have a contin uance of prosperous conditions. It believes that this will be particularly true of the South. The steady in crease in the number of industrial plant* seeking southern locations bear* striking witness to the high value which manufacturers .and capi talists of other sections place upon our abundant natural advantages.” Mr. Pelley declares that wjitle de creased earnings from both freight and passenger traffic made it neces sary for the Central to readjust its service and to put into effect every possible economy, there was no sacri fice of efficiency. “The standard of service was kept us high us in form- year* when receipts were greater" he states. Sir. Pelley not only expresses ap preciation for the putronuge his com pany received during the year but for the good will and cooperative spirit evidenced by the shipping and traveling public during 1928. As an instance of the fair minded attitude toward necessary economy measures, hi- say*-: "the public has in general ac cepted the .abandonment of unprofit able and little used passenger trains as the best interest of both the railroads and their patrons." ('losing with the pledge to keep llu Central's service at the highest pos sible standard of efficency in iti29 and other years to come, Mr. Pelley says: “Recognizing their obligation to furnish good service, the employes and office* 1 * of the Central of Geor gia in a spirit of both confidence and optimism extnd holiday greetings to their company's friends and patron*." JEDfiES JOSHil Thin Lady—You’re u coward. You’re even afraid of your shadow. Fat Lady- Well, why wouldn’t 1 be.

Customer—“That, sir, is perfectly evident.’’ Little Jimmy was peculiar.
