In these war times, the high cost
of living, talk of bread cards, scarci
ty of sugar and such, has just about
got your scribe to thinking that Judge
Morris ought to have the power to
send everybody, young, or old, who
is able to work, go to the war, or
chaingang one. I hope the Grand
Jury will look into Kennesaw gamb
ling, matching and tigers, that are
not blind, but are beyond draft age.
Our young boys both large and small
have been led into gambling and
matching by older men. The four
hundred of Kennesaw are just as
guilty as the negroes who play in the
pine thicket.

TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Few people realize what a county

have been taking it so long, that they
do not fully appreciate it’s value, or
they have never taken it at all, and
do not know just what they miss.
At the price which we charge for
The Journal, we can not see how any
one, with any interest at all in the
county or it's people, can do without
it.
Less than two cents per week, and
we venture the assertion that you
will agree that the price is too small.

It is the earliest variety known to this section—
beats all others to the gin.
It is easily picked, has good-sized boll, resists storm
and drouth, and makes more profits than any cotton
ever grown.
We invite you to write to any business concern or any farmer
in Milton county for the truth of these statements. If they
are not true we don’t want you to buy the seed.
Numbers of tenants in this county declare this cotton has
made them enough more than other best varieties to pay their
rents.
