MARIETTA WOMAN CASTS HER
FIRST VOTE FOR PRESIDENT

It will probably be of some inter-
est to friends of Mrs. Ada Brewer
Garnett to know she cast her first
vote for President this year-in the
state of Nevada-nee1less to say,
that vote was for Wilson. This is
the first year the women of Ne
vada have voted. The Pahrump
Valley Ranch located out in the des-
ert % miles from Shoshone, Cal,
the nearest railroad station is now
thu home of Mr. and Mrs. Garnett.
Mr.. Garrett has a very fine posi-
tin with the Pahrump Valley
Company, and they are having some
very new and novel experiences "a
mcng the Indians and COW boys OF
the west. Mr. and Mrs. Garnett
with their twins, Glenn and Vir-
ginia, expect to spend Christmas in
Los Angeles with Mr. Garnett's sis
ter. Mrs. LaFitte, and go down to
see Mrs. Garnet5's aunt, Mrs. w. w
Glenn, of Venice, who also formerly
lived in Marietta.

wearing his modest little whiskers
as if he had been guilty of a posi-
tive misdemeanor.
There are some men who would
not vote for good-humored, kind
hearted William Howard Taft be-
cause he os a Unitarian in religion
and great many others who did
vote for Charles Evans Hughes be-
cause he is old-fashioned enough to
wear whiskers and is a eacon in a
Baptist church
At least one prominent Baptist
politician in Georgia admitted he
intended to vote for Hughes be-
cause he would have been the first
son a Baptist minister who had ever
been president ofthe United States
But VINO is narrow minded enough
to think the great Baptist church
1t is a democratic and states
rights church and firmly believes
the rank is but the guinea stamp,
the mans the geld for all that"
So it is quite immaterial wheth-
er one wears whiskers or not but it
is a matter of concern whether a
man is sufficiently intelligent and
of fine and noble character before,
We vote him into any high office.
One delegate from Emanuel Coun-
ty where boil weevils are numerous
confessed that ne had gathered less
than one bale of cotton from seven
acres. This man was very gloomy
over his prospects, declaring he
could see no relief from these cotton
pests.
1t is expected the next conven-
ton of this Farmers Union will be
held in Atlanta.
