Sunday.
Miss Mary Etta James, who is

Mr. and Mrs. ,J. W. James, in the
southeast section of Atkinson

Prof. N. A. Cox has been for the
past month and is still teaching

heaven” for the time. All, well,
maybe so!
Mr. H. R. James, who bolds a
responsible position at Waycross
with the Atlantic Coast Line rail
road, is a guest of his mother and
sister at Hotel Malone. The Tri
bune regrets that he is on the sick
list.
Young fall turnips are on the
Pearson market and selling at 15c
a very large bunch. A Mr. Cribb,
an aged gentleman, who farms a
short distance from the city', is
furnishing them to the consumers,
and they go like hot cakes.
A gentleman and a lady of ele
gant leisure came to the city one
evening last week and, after sup
ping at a restaurant, engaged
separate rooms at Hotel Malone.
The landlady smelt a rodent and
imparted her suspicions to Marshal
O’Steen. Sure enough, at mid
night, the marshal found them oc
cupying the same room, and in
vited them to occupy separate
rooms in the county jail, under
criminal ■warrants.
Mr. Nathan Posnick, who has

Members of the Atkinson Coun
ty Co-operative Marketing Associ
ation shipped a car load of sugar
cane to New York last Tuesday.
They received 3c per stalk f. o. b.
Pearson. In future years much of
the sugar cane crop will be mark
eted in this way. It is said to be
more remunerative than to manu
facture it into syrup.
The windstorm, passing over this
section on Tuesday afternoon of
last week, blew down quantities of
sugar cane, breaking much of it off
at the ground. The farmers had
to care for this cane, so they are
manufacturing it into syrup. The
people of Atkinson county will
now regale themselves at the
breakfast table with “flapjacks”
and new Georgia cane syrup.
The Tribune was informed Sat
urday afternoon that Warren Tan
ner had made n second effort to
escape from jail by means of a

him, it is said, by his mother. He
had the hack saw, got it in some
way, and was using it on the bars
of his cell.
Mr. W. R. Guthrie, a splendid
Atkinson county farmer, was in
the city Saturday and informed
the Tribune editor that he was not
only cutting down his cotton stalks
but plowing them under deep. Let
other farmers follow his example.
It will do no harm if it does no
good in destroying boll weevils,
and the Tribune believes that it
will do much toward the destruc
tion of the pests.
Miss Eugenia Allen returned
Friday afternoon from Valdosta
where she went to attend the
funeral and interment of the last,
surviving sister of the Editor’s
mother, Miss Susannah Whitaker,
who died suddenly on Tuesday
night, in her 82nd year. The
fiorai offerings at the funeral at
tested the high esteem in which
she was held by many Valdostans —
her neighbors and friends.
Prof. W. J. Cribb is principal of
the Arnie School, and is assisted
by Miss Edna Fedrick. Arnie is
a good school, up on the Coffee

would be glad to hear from the
school and section weekly—every
Monday.
Mr. R. H. Dickerson has been
named by Gov. Hardwick a dele
gate to the conference at Jackson
ville, Fla., of the American Prison
Association the latter part of the
month. He will have to go with
out charge to the state, but says
he’s going and proposes to get all
that’s coming to him in the pre
mises. If there is any fun “Big
Dick” will find it out and double
discount his nearest competitor
in the enjoyment.
PEARSON TRI BI NE. PEARSON, GEORGIA, OCTOBER ?. 1921
Some Rattle Snake.
Last Friday Mr. L. W. Mills,
who lives on the old home place of
his father, the late Benajah Mills,
about four miles southeast of Pear
son, was attracted by the continu
ed barking of his fine young dog,
Major, in the vicinity of his horse
lot.
On investigation lie found that
tiie object of the dog’s attention
was a large rattle snake, which lie
immediately killed. His snake
ship measured four feet and ten
inches in length and was carrying
fifteen rattles.
You can safely affirm that my
dog, Major, got a good supper that
night. He had justly earned it.
and Mr. Mills was never known to
be cruel to animals.

Bazemore-Moore.
A quiet wedding occurred at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Wood
ard. of Waycross, on last Saturday
afternoon, October Ist.
The bride was Miss Alice, the
youngest daughter of Mr. R. L.
Bazemore, and the groom was Mr.
Walter Moore, of Hopkins.
The bride was becomingly attired
in a navy blue traveling suit. The
happy couple left immediately
after the ceremony for Jackson
ville and other Florida points as a
bridal trip. They will probably
return to Hopkins where the groom
is a trusted employee.
The many friends of the bride
in this community, who knew her
as Miss Bazemore, join the Tribune
in good wishes for the newly wed
ded pair the greatest success in
life.
666 cures Chills and Fever.
Did Right Thing.
Col. T. S. Winn, Pearson’s
thoughful young attorney, at his
own expense, has received from
New York a crate of the sweet po
tatoes which sold at $2 and $2.50
per bushel, while Atkinson county
potatoes were selling at 70c per
bushel, and seemed hard to dis
pose of at that price.
The potatoes in this crate is
small and of a while variety, raised
perhaps in New Jersey, Maryland
or New York, and is a potato which
northern people seem to prefer
even at the difference in price.
Col. Winn has placed them on ex
hibition in Mr. J. M. Meek’s store
where anyone can look at them at
their leisure. Those who have
looked at them instantly pro
nounce them inferior to the Atkin
son county yellow yam. But peo
ple’s tastes and ideas are different.
It is natural and possibly true
that dealers boost their home
grown potatoes to the exclusion of
the Southern potato, and this may
have something to do with the dis
parity in prices.
Here is a subject and an object
lesson that should claim the earn
est consideration of the Atkinson
County Go-operative Marketing
Association.

There seems to be a misunder
standing as to the Jewish new
year. Pearson's Hebrew citizens
will observe next Wednesday as
their new year holiday. Both
Messrs. Passon and Cohen will close
their places of business on that
day. Savannah’s large Hebrew
contingent observed Monday, Oc
tober 3rd, as New Year.
Are Pearson ladies thinking of
voting at the municipal election in
December? If they want to vote
they must make themselves eligi
ble by complying with the condi
lions of the enabling act of 1921,
which provides the qualifications
of female voters. A mayor and.
two councilmen will have to be
elected on the second Tuesday in
December, the regular time for
holding the election, and one of
the City qualifications is they
must be qualified to vote for a
member of the General Assembly.
