Editor Lee County Journal:
It has been some time since |
wrote nv last letter thinking that
some of your friends from other
districts would write up the news
and resources of their districts, but
now thinking they are like the clam
housed in their shell ard will not
come out. But since the sale OF 80
lots in Leesburg and all bought by
the people Of Lee county and Lees
burg it shows their confidence in
Lee county, and ] am proud to know
that the lots sold will in the near
future have nice homes built on
them, and since the sale | see that
Mrs. Mamie Galloway has let the
contract for 3 story brick build
ing on the Putnam lot which will
cost fifteen thousand dollars when
completed. The bottom floors will
be used for store rooms, the second
floors for offices and the third story
will be used for theatres with a
seating capacity of 1900. I am
reliably informed that the mayor
and council viii be sure and give
us electric lights and waterworksin
50 days and then you viii see Lees
burg grow as never before. Now,
Mr.. Editor, you viii see in less than
3 years the street railway Of Albany

Voters Not Considering
Candidates UnannOunCed
Only those wko have made public announcement
considered.


Those candidates who have not
formally announced themselves for
various county offices are receiving
scant notice from the voters It is
but natural for the voters Of the
county ofconsider only those in tie
race for the various Offices who have
signified their intention by public
announcement Of seeking these Of
fees.
It is true that the primary is a
little more than two months off but
the voters naturally are expectfully
those who intend to run to make
known their intentions earlyin the
game. Many voters have already
made up their minds from the pub
lie announcements as to what can
didates they viii vote for, so that
those candidates who have not an
nounced are losing good votes in this
very manner.

burb Of Leesburg. Watch my pre-
diction. / hope to see every district
in the county writing a letter to The
Journal and let the world know
what the good old county Of Lee can
raise and do. We have the best
lands in Lee county | travel over.
We can make more cotton, corn,
peas and potatoes than any county
] know Of. To show the farmers Of
Lee what can be done, few days
ago | was talking to myfriend, Mr..
Julian Price, of the Palmyra dis
trict. and he told me he had just
housed his 24th crop in Lee county,
and that he hadh bought bus
hel Of corn since he started to farm
ing. Besides making plenty ofoth-
er crops on his place he has made
from 10 to Is bales Of cotton to the
mule each year. This il, the way
to farm, make plenty Of corn, pota-
toes &c at home and then the
cotton will be like getting money
from home.
Now, Mr.. Editor, saw your no
tie last week when you expected to
dropall Observation-Disclosures. This
should not be. They should all pay
up and take The Journal and those
who are not subscribers should take
it at once and help the editor to
make it the best paper in South
Georgia. The editor has done a
great deal for Lee county and l

Upper Floor For Offies.

Announcement has been made
here that the contract has been let
by Mrs. j P Galloway for the new
two-story Office building that will
be erected right in the heart Of the
business district on the site Of the
old Putnam store lot on Walnut
street. The contract has been let
to Ike Hill, Americas. Ca, who
will have the building ready for
occupancy by autumn.
Some time ago it was announced
that Mrs, Galway had planned a
large and commodious store and Of
flee building to be erected early in
the year, butthe definite announce
ment Of the letting Of the contract
and the commencement Of the work
had not been made prior to yester-
day. Already the work of moving
back the pool room, the office Of
DR.. Statham and the store Of Mas
sey Brothers has been commenced
50 as to give room for the new
building. The structure will cost
Approximately $4,000.
The store now occupied by Mas
sey Brothers will be moved back

take the place Of them. The con-
struction of the new building,
which will be Of brick, with large
plate-gIass windows for the front Of
the stores on the lower floor, will
serve to add greatly tot only to the
better facilities for the merchants

County Tax Books Are Open
For Receiving Tax Returns
Under new law books open from February until May livery
taxpayer should make returns promptly, as books
close much earlier now

County lax books for the receiv-
ing Of county tax returns are open
now at the Office Of the county tax
receiver, and County Tax Receiver
Price has not only posted notices
telling the citizens of the county Of
the change in the time Of receiving
tax returns but he has also adver-
tised already the rounds ofthe coun-
ty he will make in receiving these
returns.
This is the first year under the
new system of equalizing the tax re-
turns from various tax payers
throughout the county by means of
the county tax equalization board,
and the citizens of the county will
await with interest the results of
this new method, which is expect
ed TO greatly increase the tax re-
turns for the county and for the
state.
1t is undoubtedly true that Lee
County has become aroused to the
necessity Of more honest and ade-
quate returns Of taxes. Last year
the returns were increased by more
than $4,000 in this county despite
she fact that in many other coun-
ties in the state much Weather
than Lee county IN actual decrease
in returns was shown. It is hoped
and confidently expected that still
larger increase will be shown this
year.
Every taxpayer in the county
should consider honestly and SER
iously the oath he has taken to re-
turn his taxable property as cor
reetly as possible and at valuation
that is adequate. If the people Of
the county abide by this principe
the returns in taxes will he greatly
increased, while the individual tax
payer will not feel any loss thereby.

operation, which had been consi-
dered imperative, but she failed to
rally, having passed away very soon
thereafter.

az Club Becomes the
Young MatrOn's Club
Change in Organization Has Been Made By
Members.


Effective at once, change has
been made in the name and in the
organization ofthe Forty-Two Club,
which will henceforth be known as
the Young Matron's Club, with
somewhat different ideas in regard
to entertainment and other feat
ures.
Hitherto the club has adhered
very strictly to the orthodox prin-
ciples of playing the game of Forty
Two only, but in the future the
members Of the club will indulge
in such games as will suit the mem
bers, as it is felt that the former
strict adherence to one game helped
to mar the enjoyment ofothers that
may easily be played at the meet
iugs.
