Hazlehurst Officials
Split Up Over Marshal
““A house divided against
itself cannot stand.’”’ and Chy
;oflicials divided and working at
loggerheads cannot do any\hing_
beneficial for the City.
A split-up is existing amemg
the Mayor and some citizens on
one side and four AMerman anrd
some citizens on the other side.
It is like this;
Mr. Jack K. Davis entered
the race for Mayor of Hazle
hurst against Col. Newt Gas
kins, and promised the citizens
that if they would elect him he
would cut the City Marshal’s
salary from $140.00. per moath
and change City Marshal. This
was his solemn promise to the
citizens and he was elected by
a large majority, winning over
one of our very best citizems.
Time came when Mr. Davis was
sworn in as Mayor and amenag
the first things he did was ex
plain to his board of Aldermen
that he wished to carry out his
promise to the people amd
change City M:-:hal. The pre
sent marshal, ..ong with others,
placed his application before the
Alderman for election and four
of the Aldermen, Dr. S. W.
Martin, Messrs J. A. Cromartie,
Jr., J. F. Matthews and A. D.
Finly. voted to elect the same
marshal, Mr. Lynn voting in
co operation with the Mayor.
The marshal was duly eleeted
by amajqritay; oL S Alderes
and kept the badge and club.
Mayor Davis immediately dis
‘missed the marshal from his
services and appointed, tem
porarially, Mr. Sam Deal, one
of the best citizens of Hasle
hurst, as Marshal. The old
Marshal, being duly elected by
the Alderman, ignored the
Mayor and continued perform
ing his duty as City Marshal.
Mayor Davis posted notices up
advising the people' that Mr.
Deal was the only official mar
shal serving Hazlehurst, and
‘thus it is.
It is either Mayor . Davis
working for the interest of
Hazlehurst, or the four above
named Alderman working for
the interest of Hazlehurst. One

" Notice Of Election
GEORGIA-—Jeff Davis Ceunty.
City of Hazlehurst.
Notice is hereby given that
an election has been called for
the purpose of electing a suc
cessor to A. D. Finley, Esq.,
member of Council of the City
of Hazlehurst who has resigned.
Said election will be held on
May 22nd, 1929, between hours
of seven o’clock a. m. and four
p. m. Eastern Standard Time
and all candidates for said office
must qualify five days prior
thereto.
| J. K. DAVIS, Mayor,
b City of Hazlehurst.
Mr. James Taylor was a visit
or to homefolks here last week-
right. The side that is wrong
should not hesitate, in the in
terest of Hazlehurst, to resign
office and resign NOW. Our
City has too much at stake for
the officers to be working and
pulling against each other.
Hazlehurst continues to grow,
not blooming up all at once, but
growing steadily, and now is
the time that we néed co-opera
tion and harmony among our
citizens.
If Mr. McLoon is continued
as City Marshal, we trust that
every citizen of Hazlehurst will
give him every encouragement
and helpful hand im working
est i R -
i oil
If Mr. Deal is our official City
Marshal, we trust our citizens
will do the same for him,
But for the best interest of
Hazlehurst lets get back to
gether and work together for
Hazlehurst.
Since the above was placed
in type, Mr. A. D. Finley, for
mer Mayor and recently elected
as a member of the Board of
Alderman, tendered his recigna
tion as a member. Mr. Finley
informed a News reporter that
he resigned ‘‘to get out of the
muddle’’ but would co-operate
with all the:City Officials in
working for the best interest
of the City. And we might
add here that Hazlehurst grew
and prospered under Mr. Fin
ley’s administration.

Woman Born Blind
Is Given Eyesight
By Surgery At 48j
New Orleans, May 3.—The
World is a miracle to Mrs. Bdtty |
Anna Wagoner, blind for 48
years, and now gazing upon‘
the unknown to her from her
ward in Charity hospital here.
Obtaining first sight through
‘an operation the first marvel to
Mrs. Wagoner was the face of
a human being, the nose, the
‘eyes and the mouth of the sur
geon which she had only known
through touch.
She next called that her son
visit her so that she might view
‘his countenance.
“I clenched my hands and
tried not to scream,’”’ the pa
tient said, ‘‘as the bandages
were being removed from the
right eye and I saw. It seemed
like a blessing to great to come
to me after all these years. 1
thought what it might mean
to see my son, who is 19 years
old, to learn to read books. My
husband has been dead for years
and I wondered how he looked.
Mrs. Wagoner was born blind
in Montgomery, Ala., 48 years
ago. Five months ago she
become ill and was brought to
the hospital for an operation.
While there skilled surgeons
became convinced that unless
the muscles of the eyes had
atrophied from years of non-use
the woman could be made to
see.
Successful on the right eye,
the same operation was applied
to left, which still bandaged.

“My shoulders, arms and
knees hurt me terribe nearly all
the time, and then mv stomach
got all out of order. I had very
little appetite, and was afraid
to eat =alid food. I used to take
four or five doses of soda every
day, trying to get relief. I
heard .sp much about Sargon
and Sargon Soft Mass Pills,
that I decided to try them, and
I knew right after beginning
the treatment that I had found
the right medicine at last,
“Now, my appetite is fine, I
eat anything I want. The
pains in my stomach are gone:
also the pains in my shoul@ers,
arms and knees. I sleep splen

and strength, and go about my
