FELICITATIONS ON AN ANNI
VERSARY
Felicitations are extended to the
Union Recorder, at Milledgeville,
which is observing now its hundred
and tenth birthday. The Union Re
corder, a consolidation of the Mil
ledgeville Union with the Southern
Recorder, onc a Whig and one a
Democratic paper, has been in the
capable hands of the Moore family
for more than half a century. Jere
Moore, the business manager of the
Union Recorder, is the third genera,
tion of Moore publishers. His father
and his uncle arc present publish
ers of the paper. The Union Recor
der is the second oldest paper in
Georgia, the Chronicle at Augusta
enjoying that distinction of being the
South’s oldest daily newspaper and
Georgia’s oldest The Telegraph is
the third oldest in the state among
the dailies and weeklies.
The Union Recorder offers a rich
field for Dr. Rabun Brantley, of
Bessie Tift, who won his doctor’s de
gree by his research in Georgia
journalism. Through the musty files
of the two papers, such a capable
man as Dr. Brantley could find the
shades of Stephens and Ben Hill and
Toombs and Longstreet walking. Ho
could make a fa cir.ating book abot
those days when Milledgeville was
the capital of the state and the monu

FACTS FOR CONSIDERATION
For the thirteen years that Wester

the city manager plan, the average
annual tax levy for all municipal
purposes has been $5.38 per $1,000
valuation compared with $10.84 i
