WATCH COLQUITT GROW THE LEADING CITY OF SOUTHWEST GEORGIA.
Young Lady
Seriously Burned
Mies Deltna Moody was fetrtbly
burned at the home of her parent?,
Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Moody, in Bjv
! kin Saturday, the 12 anal
| The young lady was standing
near an open fire plane, before a
glowing tire, when the wind blew
her skirt near enough for it to
Cutch on fire. The victim rushed
from the room into the hall ■
Before her screams brought help,
nearly every garment she w .re was
burned from her waist down.
Dre. W. (’. Heys and J. P. Cook
of this city, and two physicians of
Bal.eock hive been treating the
unfortunate girl who is about
twenty years of age.
Miss Audry Yates of Babcock is
nursing the suffering patient, who
we regret to note, is not expected
to recover.
Let Us Pull
Together
Tae Scripture ears: “Where
there ie unity there ie strength,’’
"A bouse divided against it
self oaunot stand,.” ■
Tbs point we are trying to make
tc ©“lqnitt
amOhe surrounding section puli
together, and aee if they don’t be
come considerably “STRONGER.”
The farm-rs have just aa much
to do in building up and improv
ing their town as do the citizenai
of the town.
It is to their interest to have up
to-dat merchants, machinist, pro
fessional men, etc. How can they
expert to have these in their home
town if they patronize other city’s
merchants, professional mee, m»-
cbinics eta.
The few cents that can be saved
by buying goods away from borne
ie injurying your community to
the extent of many dollars by re
tarding progress and the increased
valuation of all kinds of property,
including your own.
One of the many growing evils
of this country today is the city
department store. In our town
where we have the heat of stores,
the most honorable merchants, and
whete goods are eold at a margin
so small as to afford a respectable
living to our business men, thous
ands of dollars are annually sent
to the department stores.
Farmers expect their merchants
to pay them a fancy price fortheir
produce, so they can send the
money tbns received to a city de
partment store.
There is neither economy or
honor in bucL a manner of doing
business. You can write it down
in your bat, that as a rule, the city
department -tor. is a ewmdie
Our citizens who patronize theru
should be compelled to ship their
produce to them. There is nut u
business tzan in our town who will
not duplicate their prices fd; ade
same quality of goods, and be who
turns down hie home merchant to
patronize these 'uki '-, ie far from
being a loyal, 'patriotic and good
»
citizen.

ths heading of Mr. Frost’s address
in yavsnnah Dec. 4, aud when ba

Mr. Frost is a lawyer, a Ken
tuckian, and be told his story in a
qnist dispassionate way, which
made what he had to say all ttrn
more striking, all the mor*
terrible.
After describing the sinking of
tbs Lsaitani, Mr. Frost said:
"I saw the ghastly prooessioo of
rescue vessels as they landed the
living and the dead that night se
der the flaring gas torches along
Queenstswu water front.
Boat alter boat came up out ot
the darkness, discharging bruised
and shuddering women, tnaiued

wide eyeti little children, whose in

Frenzied women begged me for
their husbands, and men with pit

daughter, a brother, and in some
