Bainbridge, Ga. May 15,- -Ma
skeleton of a white man
ered in an accumulation of •i ’T
wood just north of hereon the Flint
river bunk Sunday.
The bones were discolored and
oisarticulatod. There was no ilesti
and only some shreds of clothing
apparently of a dark serge-a belt
and a pair of shoes, size 7, with
rubber heels, in fairly good
shape.
Dr. S. J. Chestnutt, the county
coroner, held an inquest, and his
investigation resulted in Hie opin
ion that it is the skeleton of a
white man, who had been dead four
to ten months.
The mouth shows that the man •
had not finished cutting his wis
dom teeth, and he was, probably, a
young man.
There were no means of identi
fication, and it is believed that the
remains were washed upon the
river bank during the high water
about a month ago. —Albany

f POPULATION
I The Census Bureau announced
Saturday that the population of
Miller county was 9566, again in
ten years of 1576 people, 19.8 per
cent was given at 810 an increase
Since the census was taken ten
years ago of 210, 35 percent.
The population of Colquitt was
given at 810 an increase since the
census was taken ten years ago of
210, or .35 per cent.
Many loyal citizens regret that
the increase in ten years is not lar
ger. An exodus of colored people
four years ago, the work of the boll
weevil and « lack of manufacturing
interests are among the
tributed as retarding the growth.
Os course the ceusus enumera
tors failed in some districts to get
all the people; but there are not
many in the United States left un
counted when the govei inent orders
the official taking of the census.

A few days ago Mr. Cliff Boykin

CAN YOU AFFORD A TRACTOR?
It didn t cost much to feed a mule fifty years ago.
When the canal boat and tow path system of transportation was at its
crest, over half a century back, it was considered cheap.
Yet, how long were the canals kept busy after the advent of steam and
the Iron Horse?
The old canal mule was cheap (by the day) but it took too many days,
and the railroad was cheaper in the end (by the trip).
Horse car lines made the money for their owners fifty years ago. But
when the electron was harnessed, machinery again proved horse power too
slow, too inefficient.
Manufacturers and business men in all parts of the world have discarded
the horse for the motor truck. Why? Because actual tests have proven
the horse too expensive. The horse is now on his last battlefield as regards
his- ability as a power plant. This battlefield is tha American farms—the
fa-ms of the world. He has tarried longer here because only within the
past few years has engineering skill been directed toward development of
an efficient power plant for the farmer.
That this ideal has at last been reached is attested to by thousands of
farmers all over the wprld, where the light farm tractor has succeeded in
doing their work better, quicker, and cheaper.
Can the farmer, who has not motorized his farm, believe that the horse
driven from the tow path, the horse car. and all industry everywhere—is
really an efficient machine for him?
Thomas Edison, “the wizard of Menlo Park,” says “a horse is the poor
est motor ever built. He eats 12 thousand pounds of fuel a year, the whole
output of five acres, and yet his efficiency is but two percent.”
Who speaks with more authority?
We will hold Fordson Tractor Demonstration Thursday Mar. 18th at J. S.
Bush field just this side of depot. We don’t ask you to buy. Come and
take a look, you will not be under any obligations what so ever.
Remember the date March 18, and be on hand.
