DR.. Peter Bahnsen, of this city, th'
state veterinarian, the Cordele Dis

restrictions lifted this year but
for the trouble makers among the
stock raisers. While he is prob
ably thinking that this statement
will help the unruly cattle men to
be good so as to hasten the day
when the quarantine will be lift
ed, it is more likely that those who
have recently gone into the courts
to lick him and have themselves
been licked, will get more sharp
sticks. AS time passes more of
the stock raisers realize how nee
essary is the war on the tick.

have the least to say about the high cost of cotton
goods -four sugar, rice, lard, meat. corn oats and
hay. The trouble with the GROWER is that you
stand hatfooted and through the cracks on both
sides of his crib. When he ought to have been
cutting hay, he was burning gasoline. Instead of
learning to raise good hog, he puts dozen
poor sows, which with their litters he puts to pas
ture in the spring in the lane in the big road in
front of his gate with the result THAI they develop
lane cholera" and pretty soon the buzzards fly or

That's the solid plain, unvarnished truth. The grow
sr rule is responsible for the condition that give
him excuse for his growling.-Dalton Citizen.

is YOUR NAME THERE

The following from the Sugar City
Gazette is very true eXpression:
No business man in any town
should allow a newspaper published
in his town to be printed without his
name and business mentioned some
where in the columns. This applies
to all kinds of business. general
stores, dry goods. grocers. furniture
dealers. professional men and in fact
all classes of business men. This does
not mean that you should have a
whole or half or even a quarter of a
page in every issue of the paper. but
your name and business should be
mentioned, If you do not use more
than two line space. A stranger
picking up a newspaper should be
able to tell just what business is rep
resented in a town by looking at the
business lineup in the newspaper.
