Sell Your Tobacco at the Big Tobacco Warehouse, SSI.
This is the firm that paid big prices last year and put Douglas on the map as a Tobacco Market, selling tobacco from $3.00 to $4.00 higher than North and South Carolina. Seeing the bright future
for Douglas, we have bought the compress site and are making the largest and most up-to-date warehouse in Georgia. It covers just exactly one acre of ground and most conveniently located. We are
putting the stables unuer the house, and your stock will be in cool stalls while you sell your tobacco. Both the Georgia & Florida and A. B. & A., Railroads have siding to our property. We can take
care of car loads of tobacco just as easily as we can wagon loads. The buyers will not have to pay dray ago from this warehouse, which will enable them to pay the very highest prices. Our Mr. I’egrani
will have charge of the big tobacco warehouse, and has been in the tobacco business for thirty years, both as buyer and warehouseman. Has made tobacco his study, being in tobacco twelve months in
the year and covering three states. Georgia. North Carolina and Kent ucky, from which an experience is gained as to grades and values of tobacco that could not be obtained by remaining all the year
round in Georgia, and he will have large orders on the market this season to help the farmers out. ,
There being so many markets this year, there is some question of all get ting a full corps of buyers, so would advise you before placing y6ur tobacco on any market, to investigate. —Looking costs
nothing, but selling tobacco in the wrong place may cost you many dollars. Last year we promised Douglas a good market and we fulfilled our promise—selling tobacco higher than North and South
Carolina. We will have a stronger corps of Companies and Independent buyers this year than we had here last year. We have secured the best force that could be had and you will find them as fast,
accurate and courteous. Having a force like this you will havejno delay and can got paid for your tobacco as fast as sold. Our auctioneer, Mr. Lewis, who has boon demonstrating and showing tin- grow
ers how to raise and cure tobacco, is one of the best auctioneers that will be in Georgia, and also a good judge of tobacco, will not leave the pile until ho gets you the highest price. He is known in North
Carolina and Virginia as the "silver tongued orator.” Come and hear him soil. Wo have the best scales to weigh your tobacco that money can buy —Toledo Automatic double faced dial. You can stand
as far as you w ish and can get the weight of your tobacco as well as the weighmastcr. Our experience of last, year has taught us that it is necessary to sell tobacco five days in a week, giving you a mar
ket like you find in other states, selling every day. By so doing, we are able to secure a stronger corps of buyers. We are in position to take care of any quantity of tobacco you may bring or ship to us
before the market opens. Will give you free storage and insurance on same.
The Opening Sale Day Will Be THURSDAY, July 17th. The Citizens and Business men will give a fine barbecue on the opening day. All are Invited to come.
Atkinson’s Tax Values.
Tax Receiver, H. W. Corbitt, has
furnished the following figures as
the result of the footing up of the
1919 tax digest for Atkinson coun
ty:
WHITES.
Willacoochee district $048,143
Pearson district 749,684.
Axson district 238,987.
COLORED.
Willacoochee district 18,503.
Pearson district 33,611.
Axson district 11,589.
NON RESIDENTS.
Return from county 188,536.
Total $1,890,053.
Just why there is a slump in tax
values in Atkinson county the
Tribune does not pretend to say,
but it is a fact that the above
figures are more thau a half million
less than the Coffee county digest
of 1918.
The slump is not confined to
any one district. Axson comes
nearest to its fair proportion.
Willacoochee district, with con
siderable territory added to it is
shy about $200,000. Pearson dis
trict, with added territory, falls off
from last years return quite a SIOO,-
000.
Some years ago Willacoochee
was carrying a bonded indebted
ness of about $28,000. In order to
do this her tax digest must show a
property valuation of $450,000, or
about two-thirds of the present
district returns. There seems to
be an inconsistency in the matter,
but the Tribune does not attempt
to explain it.
Some years ago Pearson's digest
showed a property valuation of
about $300,000, or nearly one-half
of the present district returns.
There seems to be some hocus
]>ocuß about this, but the Tribune
will not attempt to explain it.
However, the transaction is done.
The Receiver and the Tax Equaliz
ers have all passed upon the mat
ter, and the tax digest for 1919 is
a closed incident. But the county
government must be supported and
a high tax rate may be levied.
Taxation is the only way of provid
ing necessary funds.
In view of this, the Tribune sug
gests that it is better for thecoun
ty and the citizen that the digest
should show at least sixty percent,
of the real value of the property.
It is what the law of taxation con
templates, it looks better for the
county, and saves the people the
humiliation of a high tax rate.
It is hoped the tax payers will
see their duty in a clear light in
1920 tha-a they have this year.
Mesdames Gus Henderson and
Hattie Fussell chaperoned a party
of young folks to the Kirkland
millpond on Thursday night of
last week for “luncheon and a bath
before retiring.”
Messrs. J. E. Lee and C. F.
Murray represented Satilla Lodge,
F. & A. M., at the district meeting
at Ocilla. They say the hospitali
ty of the people of Ocilla was un
bounded and was thoroughly en
joyed by the men present.

Three Games of Ball.
The first game of baseball be
tween Douglas and Pearson this
season was played last Friday after
noon on the Pearson diamond.
The result was a score of 13 to 2
in favor of Pearson. It seemed
the irony of fate that a copious
shower of rain fell just before the
game began and rendered the
ground unfit for a decent game of
ball.
A return game was played with
Douglas on Tuesday afternoon.
The score sheet handed to the Tri
bune show's that Pearson defeated
Douglas again by a score of 7 to 2,
but the manager of the Pearson
team claims the score to be (i to 3.
The players for the Pearson team,
usually very submissive to the rul
ings of an umpire, lost their
good patience with the Douglas
umpire and they make some ugly
charges against him. They say
his decisions were, surely rotten.
Wednesday afternoon a game
was played with the Alma club on
the Pearson diamond. Seven in
ning were played, the game being
shortened by rain. When the
game was called the score
stood Alma 2, Pearson 2.
This probably closes the Base
Ball season so far as the Pearson
club is concerned. Several of the
boys have accepted out-of-town
jobs, and they will have to go to
them immediately. However
there will be a pretty fair nine
left in the three McNeals, three;
Smiths, Averitt, Minslxew and
West. It would take a hustling
set of players to get their tag.
Special Notice.
Our revival will begin at Sweet
water Sunday Aug. 3rd 11 a. m.
.huh time. Bro. Dan Roberts will
preach at this hour. The pastor
will be present at 8 p. m. service.
Everybody invited. \Y. C. Kahn.
Boys Going Away.
Dr. Dewey A. Bailey took his
leave of Pearson yesterday morning
for Kissimmee, Fla., where he has
accepted a position as prescription
clerk for the fall and winter season.
Dr. Bailey is a most congenial
young man, pleasent and obliging
to everybody. He has many warm
friends in Pearson, and they regret
he has gone away. The Base-Ball
team loses a splended manager and
a safe player.
XXX
Mr. Herbert Christopher, the
youngest son of Dr. A. F. Christ
opher, goes to Ty-Ty in a few days
to open the cotton warehouse at
that place. Herbert is a splendid
young man and will be missed by
the young men of Pearson. His
going away weakens Pearson's ball
team, as he was a strong and re
liable player.
The railroad authorities have
hacLthe Meeks street crossing torn
out. It had become a very pop
ular crossing, and will be greatly
missed. What rfextl

Mr. XL L. Lankford and family
returned from St. Simons Island
last Friday afternoon. They enjoy
ed their stay there very , much,
but took a hankering for “Home,
sweet home.”
Protracted services will begin
at the Pearson Baptist church on
Wednesday night before the third
Sunday in August and eontine ten
days. It will be followed immedi
ately by a ten days meeting at the
Methodist church. The Tribune
learns that Dr. Mingledorff, father
of our townsman, Col, G. H.
Mingiedorff, wilt be the preacher
at the Methodist church.
The editor of the Tribune, only
a few days since, saw' two small
boys, seven or eight years of age,
jumping on and off amoving train.
It is a dangerous thing fora grown
person to do and unless the parents
of these small boys give them some
thing to do to keep them off the
streets, or the Marshal enforce the
ordinance which forbids the jump
ing on and off a moving train,
some one of them will get seriously
hurt if not, killed. It is best for
the boys to have something to do
beside playing on the streets.
