Health about as usual. Chills and
fever still prevails in some families. <
Rev. B. F. Guille preached at Wai- ■
nut Grove Sunday. t
evening in this part of the county,
evening in this part of the couynt.
The biggest half of the cotton is 1
already picked. I
Mr. S. E. Jones, county school com- t
missioner of Chattooga county, in
forms me that perhaps we can get t
Prof. Christian to teach the Chat
tOGgaville school. We would like to i
see him and if he can come- and see |
the trustees he may secure the school i
for the next term, as 1 understand ;
Miss Lula Williams will not take
the school. f
Crops are very short, in this sec- i
tion of county. And all farmers are f
very busily now gathering the crops, c
We have no time to go anywhere c
except to the fi<-ld, unless compelled i
to. We really are too busy to stop t
to go to mill, if we could get bread t
without going. Our people here have a
got a move on themselves. 12 7-8 cts. J
cotton means something to us, and c
it is being sold very rapidly and d
every man, woman and < hild that t
can pick cotton are now in the r
field and as fast as it can be pick- v
ed it is hauled to the gin and then
to market and sold, and if the price :
still remains good we will soon bld
goodbye to our 1909 crop of cotton.
Our debts are to pay, that Is our ra- 1
tion bills, our guano bills and by the
time all is settled we will be about ‘
even with the world again.
We notice In the News that Dave f
Henley will soon be around to see
us ail about our taxes and as I will 1
make only one bale of cotton this
year I am not ready yet to pay. Dave
will have to wait with me until I *
get my cotton picked and sold. ,
1 would have liked to have been
with the old Confederate soldiers at ’
their picnic at Summerville last 1
Saturday, but I was too busy to go
and the weather has been fine for 1
picking cotton and we must get it
out so we can pay our taxes, as we 1
don't want Tiny Glenn down here
levying on our old sage fields for
taxes. 1 hope all our old ex-confed
erates had a good time. We all do
surely deserve a little of the good
times of this life for we have seen
hard times and rough times and
hard fighting and marching. Dur
ing the four years of the war I near
ly walked all over the Southern
Confederacy, and I got so tired tarry
Ing my knap sack, gun, cartridge
box, and haver sack and canteen of
water, that 1 promised myself if
1 ever did got home 1 never would
carry anything any more that I could
get out of honorably.
1 was at Lyerly last Friday. John
Rose wanted me to try a disquali
fied ease for him and 1 did hate
to quit picking cotton and peas to
go. But John is a good fellow and
brought me home one time from the
army when I was tired and sore walk
Ing and currying that big, heavy
load.
Well, Mr. Editor, excuse my long
letter this time. 1 feel like ,
when I get to writing on the war, |
taxation and cotton picking and get
ting a good price for it that 1 hard
ly know when to stop.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
Wenk nnd unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for much sickness and suHering,
therefore, if kidney
trouble is permitted to
| continue, serious re
sults are most likely
to follow. Your other
organs may need at
tention, but your kid
neys most, because
they do most and
should have attention
first. Therefore, when
I
5 >ur kidneys are weak or out of order,
y ou can un ler tan. I how quickly your en

seems to f il to do its duty.
If vou arc sick or “ feel badly,” begin

i‘he mild and immediate effect of

The Cook-Peary controversy is
arousing considerable interest and
in some places the people are voting
for the man they want for the dis
coverer of the Pole. The ballot box
cannot determine who got there, or
whether it was discovered at all, but |
the people are anxious to show how ]
they credit the claims of the two men
and so far, Cook is far in the lead.
But we Georgians don’t use much
of the article Cook and Peary are
dealing in, and when the winds raise
their arctic requiem around the cor
ner of the house we don’t care to
vote for either man.

Friday afternoon the railroad commis
sion turned down the petition of 146
I sheriffs of the state, who asked for
the privilege of riding free when
traveling after or . with a prisoner
■ within the state.
