WANTS THE JEFFs TO SUCCEED

Dear Tom: I have just read in
the last issue the article on your
house-warming and the only thing
that l have to regret is that I could
not be theer. l am one of the bows
of the nineties, and never have left
one principle that we advocated and
have never voted in any other party
until 1910, then I cast my vote with
the Democrats and I did it because I
thought they we're coming back to
democratic principles. | think you
are doing a grand work and 1 pray
that God of Heaven may let you live
to see the needed reforms brought
about in this great government of
ours that you have so earnestly and

speakers seemed to be inspired and
everyone present caught the inspira-
ton. I think the crowd correctly
sized j. Us. speech as the finest of
the occasion. Having spoken from
the same platform on several other
occasions, I knew J. J. was natural
born orator, but was agreeably sur
prised at the power he exhibited that
day. In addition to being an orator,
he is the most loyal spirit I have
ever known. I am glad you possess
the warm friendship of such men.
Hoping that, as Ben Blackburn
said, "You have only begun to live"
remain, Your friend,
T. G. BOROUGH.

DEATH OF A JEFF FRIEND.

The death of Mr.. Dejournet, of
Spring Creek, Tenn, occurred on
Jan. 22nd, and his wife died on the
23rd. 1t was very sad. He died of
pneumonia and his wife from heart
failure, l suppose brought on from
grief for her husband. He was a
good man and Tom Watson was his
ideal. Mr.. Watson never had a truer
friend; he worked faithfully for his
papers and the principles he advo-
Gated. He thought Bethany was the
grandest book ever written

A VETS LAMENT.

Why is it that inmates of the
Veterans Home Of Georgia prefer to
die at the Home than elsewhere?
Answer: They leave the Home
with less regrets than they could pos
sibly do from any place in America.
For Jesus sake give us a Home that
for His sake we should love.

HOW THE JEFFS' FRIENDS CAN
HELP
HELP,
Athens, Ga.

Time and time again have 1 seen
IN The Jeffersonian the expression
from the contributors that "Tom
Watson is doing more good for the
people than any man living" That
many believe that he has been
"divinely called to this great work"
L believe so, too, and naturally want
to help in my feeble way.
Friends, let us all help. It is easy.
Listen: Let each subscriber and
reader to The Jeffs resolve, not weak
ly, but resolutely with stickativeness,
to get at least one new subscriber to
one or both of The Jeffs.
This will double Watson's chance
to reach the masses; double the con-
trlbutiOns sent in for the poor and
afflicted; double all the good emen-
ating from reading that which leads
to high life and civic righteousness.
Join me, brothers and sisters. Let us
each get that subscriber. If | fail I
mean to penalize myself by giving a
subscription to some worthy person.
Do this and Tom Watson will have
100000 subscribers. Won't this be
encouragement to him who has, al
most single handed, fought the peo-
PAS OAII1CO LII CuSSS uduy Years!
Watson is no respector of persons
when it comes to exposing wrong
doing in church or state. The lowest
and the highest receive his thrusts
when they deserve it. Come now,
everybody; pull for that subscriber
and in twenty days the subscription
list will be 100000. Won't that be
great, and what an easy thing to do?
Please don't one excuse yourself. If
you do, please write to The Jeffer-
sOnian and tell why.
Nine months ago an agent asked
me to take The Jeffersonian. NV
reply was, 81 don't want it don't
like Watson or his friends" But the
agent being an old man, nearly blind,
and working that way for his living, I
subscribed. Later l subscribed for
the magazine, and only wish there
were triplets instead of twins.
Yes, l had been taught by reading
the stuff written by Watson's enemies
and those who had felt the keen edge
of criticism that Watson was a rascal
and deserved nothing but condemna-
ton. But since I began to read and
think for myself, the light has
broken in and 1 find, indeed, that cit
is the fruit trees at which thieves cast
stones.' Very respectfully,
J. G. WHATLEY.
