A GOOD OFFER.

The word FREE Strikes most peo-
pie as meaning nothing, hence there
are opportunities absolutely free Of
fered to people every day which sim
ply goes unnoticed and overlooked by
the masses, simply because they saw
the word free" attached to the Of
fer. As one of the most prominent
men of our country today once said
that he could always tell who were
the most successful, It was those that
took notice. So let us call the read
ers of our paper to the John Foster
Company, Of Atlanta, Ca, to their add
which is shown in this paper. Look
for it, they offer to send their catalog
of stoves and ranges free to any one;
their catalog gives you lots Of infor
nation and may be the means Of saw
ing you dollars on an article of neces-
sity. The information which their
catalog gives is worth something. It's
free; doesn't cost you anything. So
write to the John Foster Company, of
Atlanta, Ca, for their free stove cata-
log.

An effort was made to launch Hoke Smith
Presidential boom, but Mr.. Smith very mod
estly stopped the same by saying that he de-
sired to give Georgia much needed reforms, as
her next Governor. There are reforms need
ed in Georgia, and if the next legislature goes
back on Mr.. Smith, he will let the people "at
home" know it. Perhaps few Statesmen will
be hunting other jobs before two years have
expired.
A good thing that our next legislature can
do is to investigate our public school system.
Public schools should be what the name i'm
plies, that and nothing less. We pay taxes to
this fund.- and we should get in return, what
we pay for.
The system may work all right in some sec
tions of Georgia, but where it is cheaper to
send to private school than to the public
school, there is something wrong about the
system at that place, and the tax payers are
not getting what they pay for.

THE WEEKLY JFFFERsoN1AN.

Speaking of the Georgia Railroad, Bowdre
Phinizy has already accomplished something
for which all of us living along the line should
be thankful. He is making the management
get move on in the way of making repairs.
Many of the bad places have been put in good
order since his original complaint was filed.
If it has the effect all along the line that it has
had here, the EXPERT, which this road was
willing to pay will have easy job. We are
not particular about having the road made
better by recommendation of the railroad COM
mission, or by the EXPERTS report-just
so it is put in good condition Do that before
the INVESTIGATORS have time to INVES-
TIGATE, and we will be satisfied 1t meets
the same end.
Our Congressional delegation at Washing
ton has dined Hon. Hoke Smith. 1t is the
first time that all of the Georgia delegation
has been together at this session of Congress.

MACKINAC
 YACHT RACE

Chicago, July 19.-With a field of over a score of starters, the an- nual Micinac yacht race will be held tomorrow under the auspices of the Lake Michigan Yachting asso- citation. A marked innovation will be made by the racing committee in the matter of starting the ves- scls. Instead of sending them out in attachments, the yachts will get off in a monster body across a line marked in the Chicago brealwater by line of buoys. This arrange ment, it is thought, will improve greatly on the old style of getaway and will equalize the chances of all yachts in the opening stages of the contest. Under a new rule adopt ed for the regulation of tomorroW2s race. the minimum size of contest ing craft will be fivetOnners.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 CHANGES HIS MIND
Now Says That Notary Public Who Moves to Another County Cannot Discharge Duties in Latter
 County.

Attorney General W. f. kirby yesterday rendered an opinion ill re- gard to the question as to whether a person who has been appointed no- tary public for particular county may remove and permanently re- side in another county and contin- ue in such aforementioned county to discnarge the duties of notary public says the Little Rock Gazette He says he cannot. He holds that the notary is required to be a citi- Zen of the county for which he is appointed, to file his bond for the faithful discharge of his duties in said county and to keep a record of his official acts, which record book with all his official papers, are to be delivered to his successor, if no tary die, or resign or remove from office Continuing the attorney general says:
 Under the law the removal from the county amounts to vacation of the office as much as though he resigned or was removed therefrOm He is not authorized by section 5745 of Kirby's Digest to remove per manently to another county and continue to discharge the duties of the office of notary public in such county, until the expiration of his commission and his four years term. Said section reads: The pow CTS and authority of notaries pub lie shall be co-extensive with the state for the purpose of swearing witnesses, taking affidavits and de- position, and taking acknowledge ments of deeds and other instru- ments in writing and authorized by law to be acknowledged Section 5745, as amended by act 269 of acts of Arkansas. Approved ,1ay 6, I5U0. LIS S6CIlOu cl1pOWSI notary to perform all the acts and duties prescribed in it, in any other county in the state with equal force and effect, as though they were done in the county of his appoint ment. Thus, he may go into any county and perform any of these acts and make certificates thereto, but in so doing he is but an officer of the county of his appointment and his certificate and seal to such acts when done must show that they are done by him in his capac- ity as notary in and for the county of his appointment.
 The attorney general states that he expressed a different view in letter to an attorney at Fort Smith recently in an opinion which, he says, was not we'll considered.
