Notes by the Way.
The editor left Pearson Sunday
evening to attend the session of
the Eleventh District Press Asso
ciation at Valdosta and Berrien
superior court at Nashville.
Spent the night at Willacooehee
and attended divine services at
the Baptist church. Found the
pastor gone, called away by the
serious illiness of his mother.
However, the ladies of the Woman's
Missionary Society had prepared
an interesting program which was
rendered and altogether profitable.
On the Georgia and Florida
train Monday morning, enroute for
Valdosta, were Mrs. W. 11. Dyer
and daughter and Editor W. It.
Frier, of Douglas. The editor
found them most agreeable com
panions going to and returning
from Valdosta.
At the Ocean Pond club house.
The dinner having been practically
disposed of the newspaper people
were the 1 recipients of “surprise
packages,” with the compliments
of the Georgia Florida Fair Asso
ciation. They contained season
tickets to the Fair November 3-8
inclusive. The packages were pre
sented by President Mathis, of the
Chamber of Commerce, with the
motto: “Presented to be used.”
Berrien superior court was mov
ing along with reasonable facility.
Judge Robert G. Dickerson was
presiding and giving strict atten
tion to the proceedings. Hisodinin
istration will be a successful one.
Those w ho heard his charge to the
grand jury admit frankly that they
had drawn a surprise. They say
it was short, pithy and covered
the subjects in language that bore
the earmarks of sincerity and
could be easily understood. After
the grand jury had gone out and
entered upon its labors, Judge
Dickerson asked the attention of
the attorneys and made a strong
appeal for their hearty co-operation
in helping him to expedite the
business of the court. He gave them
to understand he would not permit
any unnecessary delay in the trial
of causes in his courts. They
must have their causes ready and
proceed with their trial promptly.
The editor was agreeably sur
prised to find in charge of the
Marion Hotel, the only hotel in
the city, Mr. and Mrs. ,T. R. Davis.
Mr. Davis, a little more than
twenty years ago operated the
‘‘Jack Pond” turpentine place.
Mrs, Davis was formerly Mrs.
f’omas and for several years acted
as deputy clerk of Coffee superior
court, and made an efficient off
cial. Their many friends will be
glad to know they are enjoying
fine health and doing a good busi
ness with their hotel.
Alapaha is keeping well on the
map. She has a splendid school
building and. witn a strong facul
ty of teachers, the school promeses
to do good work this scholosttc
year. The Bank of Alapaha has
treated itself to a new- banking
bouse, a handsome building.
Mr. A. Grover and wife, former
ly of Willaeooc-hee, are here and
doing a profitable grocery business.
They carry a nice line of staple,
fancy and green groceries.

county authorities to sit down
idly and let the five years expire
without some effort being made to
provide her own public buildings.
The voting of bonds does not nec
essarily mean that a courthouse
: will be built short of the five years,
but it does mean that a jail will
be built at the earliest possible
moment and stop the expensive
| policy of boarding prisoners in
other counties. If the courthouse
can be built in 1920-1921 it would
be to the best interest of the
county that it be done. Commis
sioners Kirkland and Weathers
have properly sized up the situa
tion, and have the courage of their
convictions.

county will have to begin anew
the duties they owe to government.
Don’t forget it.

Atkinson county should have them

Registration system, The time
has come when purchasers are not

deed to your land when he offers

which the State of Georgia gives
to land within her borders that is
registered, that is to say a Torrens
title. if you want to borrow
money on your land a Torrens title
will facilitate the transaction, it
eliminates the tedious and costly
task of searching the records and
making an abstract. 11 is a proper
thing to do under all circumstan
ces.

past on the long table prepared in

and when they had satiated their
appetites many baskets of frag
ments remained to be carried off.

Fitzgerald’s Chamber of Coni
inerce has undertaken the task of
providing at least twenty-five now
dwellings in that city. There is a
demand for dwellings in every city
and town of South Georgia, and
very few capitalists want to in
vest money in this class of proper
ty. But the men in charge of
Fitzgerald’s drive report that one
half the number has been promts
ed and work would be commenced
on them in a few days.
