Plans are being made by the city
officials under the direction of Al
derman L. H. Andrews to open the
new bridge over the Oconee river
with impressive ceremonies when
the new concrete and steel structure
is completed.
Mr. Andrews received a proof
this week of the bronze marker that
will be mounted on the west side
of the bridge naming the structure
the Old Capitol Bridge. The marker
will be about four feet high and
two feet vide. On it will be on-
craved the names of every Governor
that served the state while Mil-
IcdgevQle was the cnpitol and the
date of his tenure of office. At the
bottom will be the name of the pres

The marker will also give the dates

The farmers still have something
else to be thankful for. This year
there were a large acreage of cotton
land released from cotton which
was converted into producing food
and feed crops.
Many of the farmers of the county

Coach Butts Issues Challenge for
fieturn Game and Claims State
Championship.
Coach Wallace Butts issued a
challenge to Coach Jake Morris for
a return game with the Middle Geor-
^la College after the Cochran conch
had laid claim to the state Junior
College Championshio.
Coach Butt* questioned the right
of the M. G. C. coach to claim the
championship, although his team had
defeated G. M. C. by a score of 7
to 6. Conch Butts pointed to the G.
M. C. record and stated that the ca
dets had won more games and
against more impressive foes. Coach
Morris claimed the championship af
ter G. M. C. had defeated the State
Teachers College, although the
Teachers had previously defeated
M. G. C. by a score of 6 to 0.
An effort is being made to get a
post-seasoned game with the Coch
ran team in Macon early in Decem
ber. G. M. C. lost to Middle Georgia
point although the
cadets clearly outplayed the Coch
ran team. Coach Butts said he would
also claim the state Junior Coll
Championship and advised the Coch
ran coach that if he wanted to de
pute it he could meet him in Ma
con or on r* neutral field selected by
game early in December
and
rightful claimant of the state laur
