Terrell county may be happy with her
tank" 1t is hers and she is welcome to all the
revenue that comes from it. We trust that the
day will never come when there will be one OF
these drunk mills in Dublin and Laurens
county.-Dublin Courier Dispatch.
The Courier Dispatch is published in one OF
the best towns in Georgia. We mean one of the
very best towns and it's great prosperity dawn
ed after the whiskey traffic was banished. For
a number of decades Dublin stood on the banks
Of the Ocmulgee, but little more than a shabby
court ground, with cheap inn and GROCERY.
Of course, the GROCERY was the life of the place
between courts aud certainly, the life of the
court, contributing largely to the criminal dock.

their names, if we did we would publish them

We are unwilling to admit that Editor Per-
ham or any other South Georgian has higher
regard for Mr.. Estill as man or for his rights
in this campaign, than we have, but we are
tremely anxious to see the issue between How

It is about time to be casting around for a

GERS. The primary will be pulled off not later
than next August and it may occur as early as
June. Irwin will furnish both the senator and
representative this time. They should be men
of experience in Legislative work and well ac-
quainted with the leading public men of the
state. To send any other kind would be the
most suicidal policy the county could adopt
Surely we have at least two such men ia the
county. Let us find them. Then, laying aside
all personal and political predjuices, if any exist,
let us place them where they become great
factors in sending the county bounding on to the
bright destiny that awaits it.-Ocilla Star.
