Representative Thos. M. Bell
0! Georgia
It yoq want to meet a kindly,
courteous gentleman of the old
school, just walk into Room 27 i,
House Office Building. Washing¬
ton, D. C., where is located the
office of Thomas Montgomery Bell,
of Georgia. His door is always
wide open to those who have busi¬
ness with him, and the genial Con¬
gressman gives sympathetic atten¬
tion to all comers—provided their
business is legitimate. Notwith¬
standing the pressure of public
business, he always has time for
his many friends, and they receive
a hearty welcome.
Mr. Bell lives in Gainesville,
Ga., and is of course a Democrat.
He was born in Nacoochee Valley,
White County, Ga., and was edu¬
cated in the public schools of the
county and the Southern Business
College, Atlanta, Ga. For many
years he was connected with some
of the largest wholesale business
houses of Atlanta, Ga., and Balti¬
more, Md. He whs married to
Miss Maiy Ella Winburn, ot
Gainesville,'Ga.
Mr. has a long record of public
service. In i 898 he was elected
clerk of the Superior Court of Hall
County, Ga., and was re-elected in
1900 and 1902. In 1904 he was
elected to Congress from the Ninth
District of Georgia. His service
in the House began on March 4,
1905, and he has served continuous¬
ly ever since —ij terms. There
are only four men in the House of
Representatives who have a longer
period of continuous service.
Representative Bell is the rank¬
ing member ol the important Com¬
mittee on the Post Office and Post
Roads, and in the event of a politi¬
cal change this fall and the Demo¬
crats should be successful in carry¬
ing the House m the November
elections, he would become Chair¬
man of this' great Committee. Mr.
Bell has been a member of this
committee for a great many years,
during which time he has made an
exhaustive study of the postal ser¬
vice. lie has consistently favored
legislation for the betterment of
conditions for the rural letter car¬
riers and third and fourth class
postmasters. The several increases
grunted rural letter carriers were
in a great measure the result of his
activities. He also advocated the
increase recently granted to post¬
masters of the third and fourth
classes, and in the present Congress
introduced a bill providing for an
allowance for rent, fuel, light and
fixtures to fourth class postmasters
equal to 20 per cent of their com¬
pensation. Hearings have - 4 >een
held upon his and other bills for
this purpose by a Sub-Committee
of which he is a member.
The picture on the cover of this
number of the Postmaster’s Advo
date is an excellent likeness of
Representative Bell, who may
truthfully be called a postmasters’
advocate iti the Congress.
The Ninth District and the State
of Georgia have reason to be proud
of him, and his public record and
private life justify his continuance
in the public service.
The Postmasters’ Advocate and
the third and fourth class post¬
masters of the United States unan¬
imously endorse the practically
unanimous sentiment of the voters
of the Ninth~Eistrict of Georgia.—
The Postmasters’ Advocate.

SHOAL CREEK NEWS
Rev. Chus. Palmer filled his
regular appointment at Shoal
Creek last Sunday.
Next Saturday, July 3. is the
time set to clean off Shoal Creek
cemetery. Let’s everybody go out
and show respect to the ones that
are resting there^
We notice Mr. J. B. R. Barrett’s
ad concerning the sale of his build¬
ings, etc. Mr. Barrett lias desir¬
able property and we i»pe to see
sell well for such sales often act as
a great stimulus to a town and
county.
While a very few are working
hard for good roads, surely we can
say, Amen.
The Asbestos correspondent gets
up some pretty good stuff concern¬
ing a man’s beard. Well we have
wondered and wondered about this
whisker business. We see a young
hoy shave to get his beard to grow
then when it does grow he cuts it
off to keep it from growing. Well,
well, why worry? This hair busi¬
ness is going out. The men go
bald and keep their faces shaven
and the women go bobDing. We
believe in a few generations the
human race 'will all be beardless
•lid their heads as slick as a coffee
mill handle. Of course barbers
would not have so man} hard jobs,
but we imagine it would injure the
sale of fine combs. Can’t ever tell
you know. Anyway, man is a
curious piece of creation. He
cotnes here with no teeth and very
little hair and immediately goes to
growing both and by the time be
gets a full growth of each he goes
to losing both. The only difference
is it don’t cost as much nor hurt as
bad to lose a hair as it does a tooth,
for women work cheaper than den¬
tists. The only say thing about it
is after his teeth and hair are gone
is to look at all the useless tooth
brushes and combs and the empty
toothpick vase. Oh! boo hoo it’s
just awful.
The Masonic celebration Here on
St. John’s Day was well attended
and was a happy occasion for all
present. Many splendid speeches
were made.
The post office will be closed
next Monday, The rural carriers
will take a day off.
