Sheriff Frank Passmore paid

Brant ley's balm come inf Oh,
the bitter irony of legal recom
pense!
Commissioners of a Florida
county undertook the naming of a
county depository. The prevent
discrimination they named all the
banks in the county. It is need
less to say they sleep well.
“Better look out fair sex and
not learn to do men’s work too
good, you might have to keep it
up otter the war is over.” This
free advice is sure to go unheeded
by those to whom it is addressed;
the modern woman is not built
that way.
The Dawson News wants all
franked mail poured back into the
—pouch, and give legitimate let
ter and newspaper mail a living
chance. A lot of it is consigned
to our capacious wastebasket as
fuel for thrice a week bonfires.
A man living twenty miles from
Nashville —but who “don’t read
no blamed old newspapers” —made
two t rips here to pay his taxes but
couldn’t find Collector .tones be
cause it was not his day to be
here —Herald. Ii was ever thus
since Adam vacated the Harden of
Eden and it is no sign of the com
ing of the millennial dawn.
The Mill tow it Advocate admon
ishes the Tribune editor that there
is no such t hing as a “worthless”
cur, and that lie would be convin
ced of that fact should he kick
any old indifferent dog and the
owner of the dog got through
thumping him. The admonition
brings from the Tribune editor the
confession that he has had a near
experience of the Advocate's fact.
He kicked his father-in-law’s
worthless “Tip”; the old gentle
man couldn’t get off his invalid's
chair and had to content himself
w ith vehemently inquiring, “What
the d —l are you doing?"
This is a queer old world; as
changeable as the views in a kalei
doseope. Judges T. A. Barker and
W. E. Thomas are reported to
have been defeated for congress
because they declined to resign
the judgeships they were hold
ing at the time of the congres
sional races. Now. these same
people are criticising W. ,1. Harris
because he proposes to resign his
present SIO,OOO place in Washing
ton to enter the senatorial race in
Georgia against T. W. Hardwick.
If Mr. Harris is the best man for
the senatorial job it would make
no difference with the Tribune
editor whether or not he resigned
liis present place. However, if
Mr. Harris is to be the candidate
against Mr. Hardwick he should
resign, because a successful sena
torial race w ill require his entire
time; to defeat Mr. Hardwick is
not going to be a child’s play un
dertaking.

Important to Registered Men
The following telegram has been
received from the Provost Marshal
General, Washington, 1). ('., and is
quoted for the information and
guidance of all concerned:
“No. 10948. Please cause the
broadest and most extensive and
continuous possible publicity to be
given through t he Adjutant Gene
ral, Local and District Boards, the
newspapers, and by all other possi
ble means of warning to all regis
trants w ho may have changed their
places of abode and postoffiee ad
dress to communicate immediately
with their Local Boards where
they are registered and furnish
their present addresses, so that
questionnaires which will begin to
be mailed December fifteenth will
reach such registrant without de
lay. Registrants are bound by
law to keep themselves advised of
all proceedings in respect of them,
and failure to do so may result in
Llieir losing l ight to claim exernp
lion or discharge. Please request
newspapers to give this warning
broad and continuous publication
from this time until the process of
mailing questionnaires has been
accomplished.
Joei. B. Mali.ett,
The Acting Adjutant General.
Your Home Merchant.
Speaking of the menace of the
mail order house you would do
well to remember these things:
The local merchant is the man
who gives you credit when you
are financially embarrassed and
carries your account when you
cannot pay.
He is the man who gives you
back your money or makes ex
changes when you are not satis
lied with what you buy.
He is the man who meets you
at the door with a handshake, and
bids you adieu with a real route
again and a good word for the
kiddies.
He is the man who pays his tax
es to support the local public
schools and fire department and
police force and other public insti
tutions.
The same tiling applies to the
merchants of Pearson as well as it
applies to the merchants of any
other Georgia town.
Farm Products Will Remain
High for Years to Come
Just think of it:
Short, cotton at 30c per pound.
Long cot ton at 75c per pound.
Cotton seed at $85.00 per ton.
Peanuts at $125.00 per ton.
Corn at $5.00 bushel.
Live hogs at 18c per pound.
Syrup at SI.OO per gallon.
Why not buy a small farm in
South Georgia and work it your
self. One crop at half the prices
for the above products, will pay
for it.
Spend the winter clearing a few
acres. One man can clear one acre
a day, average new cut over laud
along the A., B. & A. Railway.
South Georgia lands are cheap.
Now is the time to buy.
For a list of farms for sale and
other information, ask

Struck a business man for a news
paper adv this week who promptly
informed us that he had more bus
iness than he wants now, and if he
were to advertise he would be
forced to put on another clerk.
We are tempted to give his name
so some of his customers might re
lieve the strain he is under by
trading with some one who wants
their business. —The Thomasville
Press.
At last accounts Mr. 801 l Weevil
had moved into his winter home
and gone to sleep. If he is not dis
turbed, he will not wake up till
the weather gets hot next spring.
But if some heartless farmer should
set fire to the rough in which ho
has made his home, there would
be a few less weevils to start the
year 1918. —Ocilla Star.
PE ARSON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 14, 11)17
240 Pound Pigs
With corn above 50 cents hogs
eat their heads off very 7 quickly.
The hog that takes two or three
months to get on full feed never
brings you a profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B.
A. Thomas’ Ilog Medicine. Use
regularly and watch your shoats
round out into fat hogs in nine
months —hogs going well over 200
pounds and as high as 240 pounds
Figure the average feeding and you
will see why the B. A. Thomas,
medicine is a good investment.
Try feeding out your hogs on this
plan and if you are not more than
pleased, we will refund the cost of
the medicine. Sold by the Pear
son Hardware Store.
We have no prejudice- against
the neatly dressed, nice appearing
boy, while we do detest the fellow 7
who goes around looking like a
bunch of hard luck, but a girl
looking for a model husband should
be careful. If yoa don’t know
one when you see him, ask mother
—she will recognize him at sight.
—Nashville Herald.
The farmer will have the boll
weevil to eon lend with next year,
ami the country editcr the small
bore politician. <>h, for a lodge
in some vast wilderness, and with
sufficient, dope to bring on forget
f nines for a long season! —Milltown
