BRANTLEY WILL
QUIT POLITICS
FOR PRIVATE LIFE
upon EXPIRATION OF Term
Useful Member Of Georgia
Delegation

Washington, d. c., Feb pal
though many members of the House
will terminate their service here with
the end of the present session on
March 4, there is none who will be
NOR genuinely missed than Represent
tative Brantley, who, after sixteen
years will retire to devote his time
and talents to the practice of his chos-
en- and much loved professionals
law.
1t is almost needless to say that
man more courteous and considerate
of the wishes and welfare of others
never entered the halls of Congress,
! Kind, and with all the elements and
instincts of the old time Southern gen
tleman and yet keonly alive to the ac-
tivities of the present day, it is need
less to say that the Georgia congress-
man will be much missed hereafter.
But the call of the lawn which he
has made his reputation-has been too
strong for him to longer hide his
judicial talents where there are still
higher places for him to climb on the
ladder of success, hence he servers his
connection with Congress with tu4
fall of the curtain on March 4.
MIR. Brantley is citizen of Bruins
wick, and has represented throughout
his service the Eleventh Georgia dis
trict. On March 4, he will open law
offices in the Gambler building in At
| lanta, associating with him his son.
William G. Brantley, Jr., already a
citizen of Atlanta, and Capt Harrison
oJnes, son of Sam D. Jones of Atlanta.
The style of the firm will be Brantley,
Jones & Brantley
Mr., Brantley to-day authorized the
foregoing statement of his plans ana
said:
q am going out of public life to re-
turn to the active practice of my pro-
fession from which | have already re-
manned away longer than l ever in
tended doing. This does not mean
that l shall cease to be interested il
political and governmental matters, but
only that my interest will be that OF
| the citizen and not that of the official.
All good citizens should interest them
selves in all governmental question:,
and l hope to do my duty in that re
gard"
Mr. Brantley has been in public life
since 1884 when he became a member
of the Georgia House of Representa-
/ tives from the county of Pierce He
subsequently served term as state
senator and eight years as solicitor
/ general of the Brunswick judicial cir
cult. He was first nominated for Con.

Let the Head Rule.

OF course if a woman is of the eX
cessiVe temperamental sort, who lives
upon her emotions, and has to have
sentiment served up to her piping hot
she should not marry any man with
whom she is not madly enamoured az
the moment, because she will grow
tired of him soon enough, anyhow.
But for the ordinary woman, sincere
liking coupled with respect for man
is good enough beginning of love to
marry upon. The whole tendency Of
matrimony is to narrow a woman's in
terests down to a husband and
home, and any normal woman will
come to love the man she is married
to if he is kind to her.
Therefore a woman is wise if, in
picking out her husband, she goes by
her head more than she does by her
heart. For romance is as fleeing as
the dew of morning, and the most
sentimental of Fairy Princes settles
down into just an ordinary mortal
once the marriage ceremony is per-
formed

they will lend helping hand to their
poverty stricken sisters. The u. D

on Main St. we are taxed with Sl,5l

The u. D. c. has already paid all
they could rake and scrape, it you
will excuse the expression. on their
note, and now, will our friends and
fellow citizens sit idly by and see US
sold out for this paItry sum-
Our men are broad minded and
chivaIrous be they gentle or Jew
and knowing the law can devise
some plan to exempt us from this tax
But if this one ordinance stands as
the Famous Connecticut Blue Laws,
(from which their was no appeal
then our fellow citizens we know,
will individually, collectively and
generously give US check for the
amonnt.
This square belongs to the city d
Okolona. for the benefit Of the men,
women and children of the place
under the auspices of w. F. Tucker
u. D. c. Although we have two U.
D. c. Chapters in the city Of Okolona
we are not partisan, but work together
as band Of loving patriotic sisters
should do,
If the Tucker chapter should be SC
fortunate as to build u. D c, rooms
our sister chapter will be welcome
! thrice welcome, to transact all OF theit
business within our walls.
The U. D. c. suggest a mass meet
ing of the citizens of { kolona, so tina
we can have heart to heart talk
returning past favors and conGdini
our troubles each to the other.
