nave JuSS reau III Tie ually
papers where the Cobb County Com.
missioners and Grand Jury have
thoroughly Investigated the lynch
ing of Leo Frank and after all Of
their diligent search they could not
find anyone who knew the guilty
parties. Just as | expected. II
half the people in Cobb county had
known who did it they would have
been afraid to tell it. / was in
hopes that Frank would be allowed
to serve his sentence out, and |
feel sorry for him, but his friends
and people can blame no one but
Jack SlatoE for the lynching, and
it would not surprise me If he
catches good dose when he re-
turns to Georgia, but | hope rot.
| see the Governor first offered a
reward of 100000 and then cut 1T
down to $4,000. Now, Governor,
be quiet and rest easy, for no one
will ever claim the reward. Now,
| Col, wasn't that corking letter
that was sent from LaGrange to S..
Helm & Sons Of New York. TWAS
tie the point and every wholesale
dealer in Chicago, Baltimore and
New York should have received just
such letter from Georgia mer-
chants.
What has become Of the two, p.
P's Pruett and Paul, when they we're
elected president and vice-presi-
dent Of the Fair Association, said
that they were the best two men
that could have been elected to
carry on the Fair | heard nothing
from them about having a fair for
Lee county this fall. Wake up,
boys, and get a move on you. Let s
have the fair By all means. II il
the best thing you can do to adver-
tise your county and get people to
move to your county. Don't let up.
You see that Editor Of The Journal
is going to get out Booster Edition
for the county, and it viii help you
to advertise the fair and that will
help you to make a success OF it.
Go forward with it. Don't be like
lots Of wives. Don't look back.
Now, hope the 2 P. P's. will be as
determined in their efforts to make
the fair success as the 2 negro
preachers that work here in the
hosbital did their meeting The
doctor every year gives all his ser
wants week s vacation, and he has
what Mack MILAN Of Leesburg calls
2 potticker ministers in the crowd.
So the Dr. gave Rev. John Cheney
his week off and he carried on a
weeks meeting in the country.
When he returned, the Rev. Albert
Harris took his week. The Rev.
Harris and myself are very good
Friends, and when he went to leave,
he came by my room to tell me
good bye, and said to him, Rev,
do you think you can carry on the
preaching when Cheney left off at
and made a success Of it this week. "
Eyes, Sir Boss, | expect to take it
up right where he left off at and car
ny it to Successful PRONUNCIATION. "
Now, cans the 2 P. P's. do as much
for the fair as tie Rev. Harris did
for the meeting? Don't give up,
boys, carry it through. am sure
the good people of Lee county will
back you up and help you in your
efforts. as there is nothing that will
help the county more than a good
fair every year.
have tried to get our people in
tere8ted in the truck and tobacco
business. There is good money in
lit. Take Richmond: The truck
people and tobacco farmers have
made it one of the best cities in
the South. 1t is true they have a
great deal Of manufacturing plants
here. But you take the truck and
tobacco business from it and they
would be hurt bad. 1t brings in so
much money. / see they are max
ing an average of 1000 pounds Of
tobacco per acre, and they are sell
