Coffee county is the poor man’s j
haven of happiness.
Come to Willacoochee and
Coffee County and grow up with
the country
Why don’t you wake up, you :
who are asleep, and help us to!
boost the town ? I
Coffee county offers very fine
opportunities for the home seek
er and the business man, it mat
ters not what line he wishes to
engage.
Coffee county is one of the best j
corn producing sections in the
south. Pindars, potatoes, sugar
cane and other staple crops grow
"liere to perfection.
.Willacoochee can be made a |
■ragon of thrift and enterprise,
j*ace, happiness and prosperity ,
if hvrpeople will ,awake to their
duty artYopr 'wtunity.
Willacoochee ’has two passen
ger trains daily, north, south,
east and west. Our trunsporta
tion facilities are as good ar any
town in South Georgia.
The health of Willacoochee
and vicinity cannot be surpassed
anywhere. Very little malaria
and the physicians agree that it
is distressingly healthy.
Willacoochee needs factories
and manufacturing enterprises.
At taUesTTiese things tobuiid up
a town and we h>tve every natur
al advantage as to climate and
production.
Coffee county produced 22,000 j
bales of cotton last year. This j
was not a large crop, but when |
we consider that only a few yean- j
ago the crop w as only 1,500 bales \
the increase is a good criterion :
of our growth.
We trust our readers will - ap-1
predate our efforts to boost this
section. We know the value ot
truthful advertising and if oui
people will shake off a little ol
that “sit down and do nothing’ -
spirit we can soon have a city 7 ot
ten thousand inhabitants.
It might be of some interest
even to some of the older citizens
of this little city to know that the
rainfall and waste water have a
dividing lino in the center of
Railroad street—that flowing
south finds its resting place in
the smooth, dark waters of the
Gulf, while that Awing north adds
its mite to the surging Atlantic.
Mr. A. E. Gillespie, of East
Tennessee, wiio is sojourning in
Willacoochee says some of those
hustling Tennessee farmers
would be a valuable asset to
C.offee county if we could induce
them to come, and no country can
offer greater inducements for
men of this class. We have the
lands that are cheap, good water
and a mild climate. Let them
come and feel welcome.
Willacoochee, meaning in the
Seminole Indian vernacular,
“Wildcat,” but when we look
upon this charming little city
with its prosperous citizens and
surrounded by 'ertile lands which
grow almost any kind of crops,
we cannot see why even the sav
age Seminole a hundred years
ago should have selected such a
name. But it was left for the
superior brain and brawny arm
of the white man to beautify and
develop the hidden treasures of
a country unequalled in resour
ces. Culture and refinement
have taken the place of the sav
age tribe, and we are pushing
onward and upward to a greater
city and a richer county.
OUR SPECIAL EDJTIO’a. ]
Pue Record pi'esents this wer ic!
its special edition and hopes our i
readers and all who receive a
copy will scan it closely, reading
; all the advertisements and news
matter, and then either send to
some friend or save as a souven i r.
The time has been short in
j which we had to work which will
cause some omissions of articles
that we should have, but through
j the indefatigable efforts of Mr.
S. A. Fackler, the paper has
: been gotten tout and made reada
ble, and will please our people,
we hope. And while the paper
is not a money maker to the
publishers, it is a pleasure for
us to help to boost the good town
of Willacoochee and the good
j county of Coffee.
An edition such as this costs
(quite a little amount of money,
! time and labor, and we feel grat
ified that most of our business
men came in with ns and helped
with their patronage. Of course
there are some drones in the
town—every town has them —but
j Willacoochee has a fairly live
| set of merchants, an enterpris
i ing mayor, a progressive, wide
i awake board of aldermen, a fine
I citizenship of the male popula-
I tion, and women who are queens
lin the home, an inspiration to
i the growth of moral and religious
1 influences and an ornament to
the society which they so grace
| fully and modestly create, main
tain and represent.
If the Record shall be the
i means of benefiting this section
‘by this edition we will feel that
|we have done our duty, even
•Rough we do not make a dollar
j out of the venture.
| To the People of Coffee County:
* As a candidate for representa
tive from this county 1 feel tha-t
Jit is right and proper that I let
! the people understand how I
| stand on some matters that they
j are interested in and I herewith
: give my on a of the
| most important ones.
| I am in favor of repealing
I the present dog lavv. As it stands
! it serves no purpose and there is
no way of fairly and justly en
forcing it, therefore I believe
that it should be repealed.
I am in favor of placing all
- county officers on salaries. This
! question is receiving considera
ble attention throughout the
state and considering the rapid
advancement and development of
! the country, I believe that it.
: would be right and proper to
place all county officers on sala
ries.
I favor amending the present
convict law so that any county
not desiring to work its pro rata
part of the convicts would be
paid for its part of the convicts
by the other counties working
them. As it now stands a county
is forced to work and keep its
part of the convicts or turn them
entirely loose, thereby getting
nothing for them, being forced
to still maintain courts to prose
cute, but unless goii g t.o the ex
pense of working them, getting
nothing out of them.
It is generally understood that
our present representative will
introduce and have passed a bill
changing the law So that we will
have more than one commission
er. lam in favor of the law be
ing so amended that each district
will be allowed a commissioner,
following the recommendation of
our grand jury.
These are some ot the meas
ures that I favor, and if elected
I will be the servant of the peo
ple, and will look to everything
that may arise for the best inter
est of our count3 r .
Respectfully soliciting your
support in the coming primary,
I beg to remain,
Yours very truly,

out in pensions $15,627,899.77.
For this year the appropriation
was $1,180,000 and tell $4,000
short of paying those on the
rolls. The number of veterans
is decreasing: every year, but the
pension appropriations increase
jand a bill before the Senate adds
many thousand persons to the
