After enjoying the noon hGlr, the
Chairman called the large crowd to-
gether, when the great political show
rc-opened The first man to the bat
was Mr.. d. B. Erwin, candidate for
reelection to the Legislature. He dis
cussed the duties of the office, stat
ing that he had tried to vote at all
times for the best interest of the peo-
pie. The next man TO enter the ring
was Mr.. T. B. Blewet, who made a
short speech, promising if elected, to
try to do his duty, and fill the office
honOrably.
The next speaker called was Judge
E. I. Sykes, of Columbus, one among
the oldest and and most able lawyers
of the Sunny South. He WAS greeted
or the stage. by great and long applau-
ses, by the ladies as well as the gentle
men. The speech Of this grand old man
was short, but lending forth wise and
happy ideas, like wisdom flowing
from the lips of some patriarch of old.
The next speaker was Hon. c. l.. Gar
nett, a young lawyer of the Columbus
1 minute speech, stating why we OBJ
! served the Fourth His speech was a
most glorious manifestation of ora
tory. One might have thought the
shade of Prentiss was inspiring and
operating the tOngne of the speaker.
After the speaking, the remainder
Of the day was spent very pleasantly
IN various ways, mingling with old
friends, making new ones, walking,
talking and joy riding
Late in the evening, after enjoying
the glorious Fourth, everyone depart
ed for their homes, as happy as a May
day, with JOY bells ringing in their

Last Sunday was red letter day in

There is strange and strong interest IN the
Essex which we have not been able to fully
explain.
You iear the most sincere endorsements for
its qualities from men who have never even
seen the car. We believe that more than hall
e Tlilhoa people'now do intimately EnoH the
Essex, but that does not account for what IS
beng sad about il in remote communities
where no Essex car has yet appeared.
Distributors report having received orders
by mail from persons who say they have heard
so much about the Essex that they know il is
the car they want.
Perhaps you. too, are one who has not yet
seen the Essex. sYet you cannot be a reader
Of these words ana net have heard what people
on every hand are saying about it.
Because of what you have heard Others
say, you approach the Essex with the most
favorable impressions. With so many thou
sands making the Essex the standard OF their
automobile desires, there is some explanation
for the confidence evidenced when men send
their money for car they have never seen.

Then 1t Must Be What
Others Are Saying

In every community some one car is recog-
nized as leader. 1t is not just any car of
given make but an individual car that holds
the best record for speed or acceleration or
Hill climbing. You must know some car IN
that way. Ard haven't you heard men
attempt to explain the Essex by comparison
with that carr
That is the way in which its riding qualities
are described It's finish ss7d beauty are
hkened TO similar qualities in other cars that
people know favorably and well
In attempting to explain the reason for the
way in which the Essex has been accepted we
return always to the car itself. 1t must have
qualities men have wanted. 1t was our aim
TO meet that demand. We wanted it 10 have
the advantages in economy of cost and opera
ton Of the light cars and to also have the
endurance and performance as well as the
appeal to pride which have been exclusive
TO costly cars.

from the very day the car was announced.
The production now approximates 100 day

Poultry Show at Herman

The dates of the Poultry Show at
Herman are Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Feb. 3, and 5. The
members of the Association and all
interested in better poultry are look
ing forward to a most successful
meeting. Every citizen of the county
should take special interest in this
show. Not only has it become an
annual feature at Herman, so that
we have come to look upon it as one
of our institutions, but it is of more
value in dollars and cents to the COM
munity than probably most people
realize. A stimulated interest in
poultry is as much benefit to the
country as the same effort along any
other agricultural line. Just notice
the price of eggs, for instance!-Her-
