A correspondent in a recent edition
Of the Macon Beacon suggests the
name Of Mr., Ernest Boyd as a suitable
man to represent the county of Noxu-
bee in the legislature. Mr.. Boyd is a
Columbus boy in whose success his old
friends at home feel a pardonable pride,
and they would be glad to see him Sc
cure political recognition from the peo-
pie in the section where he has cast his
lot. Being a successful business man,
he is the type of citizen needed at the
capital Il Columbus Dispatch.
