Entered at, the Camilla, Ga., Postoffice
as second-class matter.
FRIDAY, OCT. 29, 1909.
Let’s pass up that state treasury
deficit along with those other puz¬
zles that have defied solution.
The cotton growers of Georgia
will receive $43,000,000 more for
their crop this year than last.
Don’t fail to register when you
pay your taxes. It will be less
trouble now than at any other
time of the year.
There is a very strong sentiment
developing to pay the Georgia
school teachers and let some other
department suffer for a while.
The Blakely Reporter says it is
easy enough to tell how much real
hair a woman has when she con¬
iines herself to two colors. But
when three or four colors are used
you have to give it up.
The season for candidates will
soon open and every man free
white and twenty-one should pre
pare himself for the onslaught by
having his name placed on the
registration list as soon as possible.
. About the nerviest thing in the
way of a theft was that of an at
tache of Buffalo Bill’s show, who
entered a bath room where an ac¬
tress was bathing, in Cordele, the
other day and snatched her puree
con tain g $250 and a diamond ring
valued at $175.
A contemporary reminds its sub¬
scribers that that story about it
being illegal to draw a check for
one dollar is all bosh and urges
them to send iu their check for
subscriptions. We publish this
that our subscribers, too, may not
be misled.
The X. Y. Z. Club.
The X. Y. Z. Club was delight¬
fully entertained last Saturday af¬
ternoon by Miss Mary Baggs.
Only a small per cent, of the
members were present. An inter¬
esting game of heart dice was en¬
tered into and heartily enjoyed by
all, after which a delicious salad
course was served.
Four new members were elected.
They were; Misses Lucile Culpep
per, Sophia Berman, Nannie Sue
Perry and Bess McNair.
Miss Claude Davis was elected
president and Mrs. It. L. Hoggard,
vice-president.
The next meetiug will be held
with Miss Claude Davis to-night.
Opens Ten Cent Store.
Mr. T. J. McCartney, formerly
of Thomasville, has rented the
Turner building, next door to the
City Jewelry Store, and will open a
Ten Cent Store here this week. He
has selected one of the best loca
tdons in the city and we have no
doubt but that he will establish a
very satisfactory business here.
The stock with which he opeus
was moved from Thomasville,
where he has been conducting a
similar store. In addition to the
advantages in location, he will now
be able to make his home with his
daughter, Mrs. Joe Wheeler But¬
ler.
Goes to Camilla.
Mr. T. J. McCartney, who re¬
cently bought out the Brock Book
Store, located in the Masury build¬
ing, has secured a good location in
Camilla and will move his business
to that city where he will open up
a Ten Cent Store. Mr. McCartney
is one of the best posted Ten Cent
Store men in the south and Camil¬
la is to l>e congratulated on secur¬
ing such a business man. The
opening of this business at Camilla,
however, does not mean that
Thomasville is to lose Mr. McCart¬
ney as a citizen for this city will
continue to be his home, and it is
probable that he will be in bus¬
iness again in the city in a short
time- This part of the story will
be good news to Mr. McCartney’s
many friends. We only consent
to loan him to Camilla for a short
time in order that he may learn
our sleepy neighlmrs a few tricks
about ruuning a live up-to date,
wi de-awake b usinesss.—Th omas
ville Press.
We are not informed as to
whether “W.” or “D.” is respon¬
sible for the alxive, but one or the
other has his information on crook
ed when he alludes to Camilla as a
“sleepy neighbor. ” Our folks up
here have been wide awake to the
extent that they have piled up
considerably over a quarter of a
million dollars on deposit in the
two Camilla banks this fall and
they are not through yet. Com¬
pare population and bank accounts
and see who’s asleep. If we turned
our Saturday crowd loose in Thom¬
asville you’d think Taft was iu
town.
At the Presbyterian Church.
The protracted services com¬
menced at the Presbyterian church
last Sunday, have been going on
all the week and good congrega¬
tions have been out to hear the
preacher, Rev. Joseph G. Venable,
at every service.
Mr. Venable is pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Moultrie
and is one of the ablest ministers
in .South Georgia. His sermons
are masterly interpretations of
Biblical truths, clear cut and
marked with an earnestness that
makes a deep impression upon all
who hear him.
There is no doubt but that a
great deal of good has been done
in the way of reviving the religious
sentiment of the town and interest
%
grows with each service.
Rev. McLauehlin has not an¬
nounced, definitely, when the
meeting will close, but we under¬
stand that it will continue till Sun¬
day night, anyway.
Congressional.
Some of our contemporaries are
beginning to mention congressional
politics, and generally speak in
high terms of the incumbent.
Judge Griggs recently returned
home from the mountains of North
Georgia, where he had been since
the adjournment of congress.
There was at one time some uncer¬
tainty as to whether he would 'be
a candidate to succeed himself, but
his health has been fully restored,
and responding to requests from all
of the counties of the district that
he offer for re-election he will do so.
And it is not apprehended that
the district will retire him; in fact,
it does not appear now that there
will be any opposition to him.—

City Court Adjourned.

Court of Camilla to have been held
on the first Monday in November,
will be adjourned over until the

1909. Parties, litigants and wit¬
nesses and others interested will

Monday’s Albany Herald car¬
ried the pictures of ten of the con¬
testants in the Herald’s popularity
contest. Among them were little
Misses Mattie Norris, of this city,
Ldeile Black, of Flint, and Mas¬
ter John R. Pinson, of Baconton;
all of whom are well up towards
the top of the list, and it is very
probable that at least one of the
prizes will be won by a Mitchell
county contestant.
There are several improvements
being made on North Scott and
Peachtree streets. Mrs. Missouri
Cochran is having another story
built on the rear of her resi
denee and some slight changes
made in the front verandas. Mr.
O. O. Worley has part of the ma¬
terial on the ground for his new
home and brick masons are now at
work on the foundations. Mr. G.
J. Stripling is preparing to add
large ornamental post to the
veranda of his home and otherwise
improve the outward appearance
of his cozy little place. The
“Hill,” as this part of town is of¬
ten alluded to, is one of the pret¬
tiest residence sections of the city
and is growing more popular every
year.
A Strange Fowl.
Judge J. A. Kirbo, of West
Mitchell, brought a strange specie
of fowl to town Wednesday which
was killed by Mr. Ben Marshall,
near his home, Tuesday evening.
The bird seemed to be a sort of
a cross between a duck and a goose
and none of the hunters of this
section had ever seen anything
like it before. It was evi¬
dently young and had become ex¬
hausted in trying to keep up with
the flock and fell to the ground,
where Mr. Marshall discovered it
and killed it with a stick.
