MERCER ISN'T MAD.

Thomas county voted against the Ben Hill
amendment-when famine drives from home
the deluded denizens of that dog fennel farm,
Ben Hill county will welcome them with open
arms.-Fitzgerald Enterprise.
Now, Bro. Mercer, that is unkind in you to
speak of the best town in south Georgia IN such
a way as that We are just naturally opposed
to constitutional amendments down here in
Thomas and the next time you hear from us
we'll be voting against them. We had you IN
mind when we fixed our ticket against Ben Hill
county, but we also remem Der some experiences
we have recently had on this new county ques-
ton, which marked out cur duty plainly
Your "dog-fennel farm" prediction brings
us back to a period of about twelve years ago,
when we had it Haunted in our faces by some OF
our citizens that if we voted Whlskey out or
Thomasvi1le her streets would grow up in weeds.
Now, there has not been drop legally sold here
in over twelve years and the streets are as clear
of weeds today as they were then, and at that
time the city was about $4,000 behind and had
to borrow money every year. The city has not
borrowed a dollar since the town went dry and
there is now balance of over $25 900 in the
treasury.
Townsville has withstood the "dog-fennel"
predictions of the anti-prohis, and we feel conn.,
dent that we shall survive this Ben Hill dog
fennel-am endment prediction.
Come over and let's kiss and make up, and
We'll show you how to build city and keep the
dog fenne1 out of the streets .-Thomasvllle
Press.
No, Mercer is not mad. We are tickled to
death; glad there were as many peoplein Thorn
as county who voted for Ben Hill as voted
against it, and we are glad that nearly every
other county gave us good majorities' We are
proud of the record our neighbor, Thomasville,
and sister, Thomas county, has made.
