The editor of this paper has
never received one penny for the
little write-ups he has been giv
ing our county officials lately.
In fact, they knew nothing about
them until they saw them prin
ted.. We always ke to_give
credit to those who deserve it,
and we honestly believe that Jets
Davis has as competent and as
economical set ot officers as you
will find iu the state. Men who
Vave the interest and welfare of
the county at heart, And again,
it naturally does us good to say
nice things about people who de
serve it, Qur rule hbas always
been, if we can’t say something
good about a person not to say
anything at ail. There are sever
al hundred more men in Jeff
Davis county who are just as
good, no doubt, as those whom
we have been writing up; out,
they do not hold public offlces.
And, if weall would adopt the
pian to compliment and eacour
age our officers when they do
their duty, instead of always
looking for some little biunder
they might make,to censure thein
for, they would feel better many
times, and so would you. And
the world would be better if we
all would adoptthe rule of throw
ing lityle bouquets at exch other,
g.,hex} we léerform our dutics well.

Mr Curl Britt, the popular |
mail carrier on Route I,happened
o a véry painful and serious ac
cident on Sunday afternoon last,
between 3 and 4 o'clock. He was
out driving a new horse which
he had just traded for, and while
crossing tha G, & F. R T on the
Mcßae and Baxley voddy the
animal became frightened at
'\snmething and run away, throw
iag My, Britt from the buggy in
front of the house where Mr,
Berry use to live, brealking lis
left thigh in two places, He was
carried to the offize of Drs,
Montgomery and Girtman soon
after the accident, and they did
everything within their power to
relieve his sutfering. After
dressing his wpunds he was car
ried to his home near the court
house, t
He is badly hurt, and no doubt
it will bemany' days before he
will be able to be up and out a

His many friends throughout
the eounty deplore this sad ac
cident. '

Hon. L. W. Johnson, our Rep
resen'tative in the Legislaturee,
has the interest of our old Con
federate Soldiers at heart, and
is always willing, ard anxious,
4o rehder them any assistance
possible, in the way of securing
a petgion.
~ we ‘take the following para
graph from a letter he received
from Hon. J. W. Lindsey, of At
lanta, o few days ago, Mr. Lind
sey is at the head of the pension
office, and he is &nxious for
every old Confederate soldier in
the ‘state—who are entitled to a
pension—to draw one. He says:
“l\iy purpose in bringing
this matter to your attentive, 18
o urge upon yoi its impertance,
for eveybody is vitally interested
in the subject, and it beh >ove~s‘
us in some crganizad way to

No doubt there are many old
confederate soldiers in Jeff Davis
county, to-day who are entitled
to a pension, but don’t know how
to o about getting one. If they
