Maddox is a man of the peo ple. Ilis every pulse beat is in unison with the heart throbs of the masses. From a lad of 17, following Lee and using a musket, he has won his way, step by step, in the confidences of the people until today he stands securely entrenched. * ¥ ¥ John W. Maddox is my sort of a man. He is loyal to the right and true to every trust del egated to him by his people and his country. * ¥ ¥ Without quitting his post of duty, trusting implicitly in that spirit of fair play that he knows his people to be endowed with, he was assaulted throughout the district by an aggressive op ponent who is gifted and bril liant. . *** The result, however, is as it should be, a complete and over whelming victory for the brave man who dared risk his own personal success rather than quit his post of duty. * ¥ ¥ John W. Maddox is one of the ablest men in Congress. He is peculiarly fitted for the office and, so far as I am concerned, he will remain the representa tive of the Seventh congression al district of Georgia until Geor giana call him home to serve then as govt rnor. *¥* Do you know that Mrs. A.

Un der these circumstances she has thrown on the market the most desirable millinery bargains to be had in Rome. A word to the wise is sufficient. A * * ¥ Oh , the hotness of the heat!
