Most of the farmers through this
part are just about done pulling
fodder and are busy manufacturing
syrup. It pays anyone now to
raise their own cane, in fact it pays
to raise anything and everything
we can that is good to eat.

Congressman Bell Thanks the Voters.
Gainesville, Ga., Sept. 30,1918.
To the Voters of the Ninth District
I take this method of thanking
the voters of the district for their
generous support of me in the pri¬
mary election of the nth inst. It
is indeed gratifying to me to know
and to feel that my friends .stood
loyally by me and I appreciate it.
To carry the district by a popular
majority of 7,005 without making
a campaign makes me feel that the
work I have done for the people is
appreciated, and it will help me to
the better performance of my duty.
Sincerely yours,
Thos. M, Bkll.

$49,700 To Be Raised In White County
The people expect that Liberty
bonds will be sold in nearly every
home in White county. UncleSain
has apportioned to us the neat sum
$49,700, and we are going to buy
that much or more, just as we did
in the third loan.
Every person who buys all the
bonds he or she can is doing the
ESSENTIAL duty toward the de¬
feat of Prussianism in the enemy
countries, and entitled to the full
measure of doing it.
Each district in the county has
been allotted an equal share of the
total, based upon tax valuations as
shown by the tax digest, and these
allotments are as follows :
Mt. Yonah..............$15,000
Nacoochee.... .. T.'T.Tr:. .
Shoal Creek............. 3,500
Mossy Creek............. 10,000
Chattahoochee........... 11,000
Blue Ridge .. 5 °°
Blue Creek .. 2.000
Tesnatee .... 5 °°
White Creek. 5.000
Town Creek. 1,500
The Peace Our Soldiers Want.
The Stars and Stripes the official
newspaper published by the soldiers
of the American Expedition ary For¬
ces in France, say editorially about
the enemy peace offensive :
“Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of a compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking a peace
by agreement let the sideliners who
have had enough of war; let the
secretly inclined pro-Germans who
think this war should end without a
decision let them one and all know
once and for all that foi the Ameri¬
can Exdeditinary Force there is no
such word as ‘Peace’ with the Huns
unbeaten. The man who talk of
peace to day, except through vic¬
tory, is a traitor.“
The enamy peace offensive is iik
ened to the action of German ma¬
chine-gun crews in the Vesle fight¬
ing, when they fought and killed
Americans until they were sur¬
rounded, then shouted “Kamerad.”
The mothers of the Americans sol¬
dier in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage
of the ancient Spartan mother is in
the hearts of the women of America.
The object of Fourth Liberty Loan
is to bring that peace—a just peace,
a righteous peace, an American
peace.
