which the amount received il fees
would equal that of thAano1fth just

1t viii be remembered that Governor
Cobb received Il letter some time ago
from little girl over in Hancock
county, in which she asked that some
OF the necessary fittings for IA school
house be Sent to the school Of which
she was a scholar. 1t was not OK
EcCtcd by those who know the chief
executive of the State that her request
would be passed UNDECIDED, and it was
not. for the Governor not only sent the
little girl big map and a dictionary
Ter the SchOOlrOOm. but he also sent her
Il dollar for herself. Governor Cobb
has since received Il very nice letter
from the young lady. in which she
thanked him for the gifts. and in clos

the school, who number ten, wanted to
vote for him next fall.

useful adjunct to the office.
