Sometimes we are sorely tempted to
move the whole kit and billing Of the
Journal Office out to old starkesvllle and
s,art the starkesville Thomas Cat. Out
there we could at least clear the weeds
off the old court house square and live
without constant dread Of death from ma
laria while we thlnk our little THINK and
say our little say. And while there are
no merchants out there, we feel sure that
Uncle Billie Clifton would think enough
&c : starkesvilIe paper 10 set forth the
merits of his fine scuppernonss and such
like through our advertising columns just
70 helm the paper along. If it comes to
cboi, between dead towns we would pre-
fer starkesville from the fact that there's
less weeds. and downhIll shoot to the
crock where suckers are plentiful and a
cat SQUIRREL on every other limb.

When the officers Of a town-a city' II

zenry to become jeopardized it Is then
time for that citizenry 10 t'ke some sep

LANDING on one OF the principal streets Of
1,eesburg all the summer one calculated
- breed disease in double doses, and one
,oo that could be opened up and drained

chose fault it is that this lining IS allowed
70 stand, but it should be looked alter az
once.

Those who read the Atlanta Journal
are led to believe that Hoke smith IS Ihe
real thing in the race, while those 'aN'hs

ut,erances that Clark Howell Is dead
snre winner. Most people are mol ape =

the stump as in the oldeI days
rco, John Esull is to become can
a;aate COR Governor in the present cam
paiyn it is about time he was letting Ms
Stands know It. The more one seen o
,tis level-headed, broad-ninded Old maj
whose honor and integrty no man can as
call the more one likes and admires him
and we verify believe that if The last cam
peiqn had lasted short while longer h'
would now be governor OF Georgia
NEavor Woodward's recent spree does u
seem 10 have shaken his nerve any h'
;s vet able TO give the State Board O
4salth rap. No other man we ever
heard of had the nerve to want 10 be seer
or heard from so soon after SO notorious
o spree.
The Albany Herald comes 10 us now II
new size and shape and much improved
geographically. We don't believe
however that it could he improved npo'
from an editorial standpoint.

we can't much blame the Japanese sol
diers for their revolt They fought a gooC
6pht and it docs look hard that they arr
forced TO make so many concessions to
beaten enemy
We are forced to believe that the Hon
Clark Howell, like The journal, is wait
ing for the complete political li"e-up be
fore making his formal announcement.
