nv vote Of "a to 6, is considered Sig
nffcant of the passage Of Senator
Bass railroad bill.
Senator Bass, in speaking Of the
matter recently, said:
EVERY railroad but the w. & A. has
moved its yards. and there is no earthly
reason why the W. & A. should be
granted q privilege not accorded other
roads.
The opening OF Broad street would
add greatly to the Improvement Of
Chattanooga, and no hardship could
possibly be worked against the state of
Georgia in the expense accruing from
the removal Of the yards, as Charles
James has already offered 1924, 900 an
nuallv az rental for a portion of this
property for business purposes, and in
all the state could easily realize 5000, 900
annually in rentals.
THE same people who fought my tel
ephone bill are opposing the passage of
this bill, and the majority the telephone
bill received indicates the majority the
Chattanooga Broad street bill will re-
ceive."
That is what Senator Bass, Of Ten
nesEee, says-sezee!
There are two sides to this business,
however-as has been suggested be-
fore.
And the Georgia Legislature will do
well to keep an eye strictly on what is
going on up in Tennessee, with respect
to Georgia's railroad property in Chat
tanooga.
Assistant Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture J. J. Brown is greatly interested

This may sound like a fairy tale to a
great many people in this state, but it
Is the exact truth.
For some time the farmers of old Ell
bert have been gradually waking up to
the fact that putting all their eggs in
the cotton basket is not the very best
thing they can do for themselves.
They have listened patiently while
others have advised them to plant cot
ton and lots Of It, and by selling the
fleecy staple be able to buy all the corn,
oats. meat and hay that they wanted
for home consumption.
From year to year they have discov-
cred when pay day came, that while
they had cotton to sell there was a very
dull market. few people really wanted
10 buy, and their crops almost went
begging.
This bad condition they propose to
remedy, in a measure, by the organiza-
ton Of the Ebert County Live Stock
ssociation-and ]. J. Brown is the man
behind the gun.
Every farmer in Gilbert county is a
