we dump it.

we have since that time viewed the ram

fair Decatur county's face and
well, honest lnjun we are grieved.

justice without lawyer and being ask

The News can't help but mention one
enterprising firm in GAINESVILLE who have
greatly benefited the surrounding coun-
try. 1t used to be common thing to
see article after article, load after load

ness come thru here from other towns
but we can say that Bowsher & Biddi-
son has put a stop to, that and now

the trade like this and wipe our neigh
boring towns off the maps as far as trade
is concerned. GAINESVILLE News.

destruction by fire early last Saturday
morning. She had started fire in the
