Towns becoming separate school

the following to say of Senator Wal

who is now at home resting after his
arduous labors in the u. $. Senate.
| went home with the Senator where
/ remained until the afternoon enjoy
ing the society of his accomplished
lady and himself. | found him to be
the same old Ned of my boyhood, and
although / know that time has set its
sienet on the brow of my old friend,
vet he is remarkably well preserved
and is but in the vigor of his man
hood, with the promise of a career OF
honor and usefulness that few can as
pire to. A truer friend, a Drawer SOL
der more brilliant intellect Or patri-
otto statesman, no country can boast

Elsewhere in this issue of the GA.
ZETTE will be found the new and at
tractive advertisement of Erb d Co.,
Commission Merchants, 1926 and 32S
Front Street, Memphis, to which we
invite the attention of the reader.
Messrs. Erb u Co. are perhaps the
largest firm in that city in their line
of business, and their sales and bust
ness transactions are simply i'm
mense. In fact the amount of busl-
ness they do would not only amaze
those who are not familiar with the
workings of wholesale houses, but
would astonish even their next door
neighbors. Their stock never re-
mains on hand long at a time, but is
turned over at least once a week and
it is therefore impossible to buy from
them anything but the freshest and
purest Of everything they handle.
Send Erb & Co. your orders and test
the v~eracity of what we have said.
