Well, hurrah for Kel ily! May the “early bird catch the worm. ” „ At the beginning of the new year we venture to repeat the old familiar advice to our farmers: .-‘Raise hog, hominy and hay, .and let your cotton crop be sur plus. ” This is leap year, to be sure; but the men will do the courting .and tlu- women the jilting as they any other time. God has fixed it that way and His law is .immutable. Uncle Sam has two convicts .with whom he knows not what to ( do, Green and Gaynor, and it cost his government half a million to yon viet them. Is it too high a price to pay for the administra tion of justice. Public,sentiment seems violent ly opposed to mere tines as a punishment for violations of the prohibition law. It is crying loudly foissimple chaingangSen tences, and the adininistndtat of the law show a heed the cry. The writer Sen ator A. O. Bacoiflßp Congress-, mpi \y. G. Bran',ley for their', annual pQißribut^^tof^^ec^tG call to see him trying harv -A they shall have “proof of tlV' pudding. ” The trial of Pettibone at Boiffa .City, Idaho, for complicity in the murder of Gov Steunenberg has ended in victory for the defen .dent gnd terminaced the prosecu tions of Haywood, Pettibone and Moyer. At this distance these trials have looked a little more .than a farce from the beginning, a thinly concealed persecution apd intimidation of the organisa tion known as the Federation of Tiff SPOT CASE! MARKET Beginning with the new year, I have decided to sell for spot cash, and to do this I realize that while it will be hayd to start with, in the end it will be better. In as much as I have to pay cash for meats and cannot well do otherwise. AS BEFORE I will endeavor to the best of my ability to look after your interest, and at this market you will always find the same courteous treatment as heretofore been extended to my patrons. The prices will be as lew as the narket possibly affords, Hoping to receive at least a share of your patron age. A. K. ROBERTS, ‘Phone 75. FREE DELIVERY. The Wilson House, Rates, §I.OO per Day.

Proprietor miners. The members of this or ganization may be “undesirable citizens,” but it is worse than fol ly to.fittempt to exhibit them as an example unless y.ou have the example worked out to a perfect solution. It will always prove nothing .more than a poorly ex hibited grand s&nd show. The people of South Georgia have crossed the threshold of 190$ hi fairly good shapean© are gradually settling down to nor-, mal conditions. Farmers have begun preparations for the new crop and are reasonably cheerful. Our people have not felt the eff ects of the panic as severely as ■is claimed for other sections of the State and country. The Seaboard Air Line rail road i : in the hands of receivers appointed by the United States circuit court, brought about by the stockholders xvho have divi ded into two factions, the factions headed by J. Skelton Williams, who was ousted from the presi dency of the road four years ago by the Ryan faction, appear to be again in the ascendency. The demand i.s being made for a law prohibiting a second term for the president of the United States. A term of four years is sufficient for any incumbent, and there should be no condition that would call for his re-election. It would cool off the political pot at the white house and, perhaps, stay the tendency of our govern ment towards centralization and morn vchy. Taking a cue from the maxim ►found m Poor Richards almanac, Stick to your job and your job will stick to you, ” an exchange spunds a warning to the employed .nd concludes with the admoni ■ apn: The map or boy who has < jbh these perilous timesft' | ofetwctiok to it at jßftjfice. .scarce you oui! the one you have you might not be able to get another. ' “A rolling stone gathers no moss” nor will'a man who is in one place to-day and in another place to-morrow ever own a home if he has to earn one to own it. Our boys, growing into young man hood, should early decide what line of industry they want to pur sue in life and then stick to that pursuit until they win out. They will surely win if if they will per severe, and not only own a home buta competency during old age. Every inch of The Sun's ad vertising space should be taken by Willacoochee merchants aad t'-adesm ui. They can’t imtkjfiJ better investment. A neat am vertisement in a clean newspaper will bring profit directly and in directly. It is told that He.iy W. Grady, in*his early newspa per career in Rome Ga., solicited an advertisement for his paper from the proprietor of on‘►of Rome’s largest retail stores. He met wifcn a rebuff from the pro prietor, who said tltatr -HQi>j|jy reads advertisements. Gftidy told the merchant that lie could convince him that bis pos'tion was wrong, that p eople did read the advertise merits in Ills p&pm’. All right said the merchant, if you do I’ll become a regular 'ad vertiser in your paper. The next rate raing Grady’s paper con tained a two-line advertisement, set in very small type and placed in a most obscure position, stat ing that this merchant wanted some-cats. The result was the merchant was besieged with boys and girls, white and black, who wanted to sell him their cats, from early morn till dewey live. Grady’s argument was unmerci ful but very convincing, and bis paper never appeared thereafter without carrying an attractive advertisement of his victims bus iness.
