completing the erection of a
madern gin house locally owned

burned, which was owned by
foreign capital, has Set the south
Georgia section on fire by a
recent ordinance passed by their

the raising of $1,250 by the local
people when the war broke out.
War talk interfered with the
progress of the boosters. Coun
cil was called in session and a
fine of $25 00 was assessed on
every one caught talking war on
the public streets. It put a
quietus on war talk and all
money which was collected from
the fines were turned over by

Alamo Again Votes
School Bonds.
On last Wednesday the quali
fied voters of the Town of Alamo
were culled upon for the second
time in the past few months
to vote for or against school and
water bonds. The issue had
mce b^en carried, but owing to
the fact that ’he bonds were
validated in another count'’, when
A: more recent decision of the
supreme court, which had been
overlooked, annulled the bonds
and it was made neces.-ary
to read vert ise and vote on the
question again. In Wednesday’s
election, however, they wei e
successful again, there being 60
votes cast, all in favor of bonds.
When the mistake in the first,
bonds was discovered, the
Wheeler County Bank, who
bought the bonds, had paid out
a considerable amount of the
money, both on the school and
water bonds, but as soon as the
fact was made known that they
did not comply with the recent
ruling of the supreme court,
steps were immediately taken to
remedy the situation bv calling
an election. The most objection
able feature about the second
election is the double expense
necessarily incurred.
, The school building is being
'rushed to completion as though
। nothing had happened. No
I further hitch is expected in th?
j matter.

[Some Freak Chicken
I :
; We have seen freaks of many
[kinds, but Mr. George Robersod
brought to our office this week
the head of a young chicken that
contained two well developed
beaks and three ayes Mr.
Roberson said that if it had been
successful in hatching, the pe
culiar features,and most espe
cially the eyes, would have been
more plainly visible. It is one
of the wonders of the age, and
had the chicken lived, it would
have been one of the greatest
wonders in the chicken family.
The head is preserved in alcohol
and is on display at the Eagle
office.
