An exchange says striped par
asols are taking the place of strip

a mighty awkward thing to wear
IN the place OF striped stockings.
Don't you?

Mr.. w. B. Saville, mayor of
Johnpreeyille, was in the city last
Monday. Mr.. Savilla has built a

The Hartwell Sun says the
Atlanta anti-prohibitionists dub
Sam Jones ''the Psalm singing
Sam" 1t may not be impertinent
to remark that Psalm singing did
not craze Eugene Beck so that he

law, non did it cause Prof. Cheves
to die in murderer's cell.
R. d. Sims, Of LaGrange,
who has been advertising in all
the Southwest Georgia papers

would have thought that a crazy
person could have humbuggel the
average Georgia editor?
The fine lands of Terrell coun-

alton of every stranger coming in
to our midst. Our farmers who
own land in this county should

few years they will be worth
twice or three times their present
value.

hope to pursue such course of
policy of rectitude as to avoid all
the mistakes it may have commit

il { ,rms us that a large number
of taxpayers have npt yet paid.
The truth is, times are so hard
and taxes so high that our people
can scarcely totter under the bur-
den laid upon them. IL we had
tax assessment law, end all classes
Of property taxed alike, great
weight would he taken from our
struggling taxpayers. You would
