LYONS Is a. Good Town

Lyons has had but one business failure,
that small one, during the past year. Lyons
is undoubtedly one of the strongest business
towns in this section of Georgia.. Her banks
are strong, safe and sound and her big
level-headed business men, have their affairs
in solid shape despite the present stagna-

Lyons is to be congratulated upon it's pro-

along many lines. The Progress is one of

Given Life Sentence.

Leck Montgomery, who shot and
killed his wife on Feb oath. was tried
in the Wolfe Circuit Court last week
and given II life sentence in the peni-
tcntiary, and was one of the most
speedy administrations of justice in
the history of the mountains. The
killing was done on Thursday and
Montgomery was arrested Oh the same
afternoon and brought to Campton.
The grand jury had been adjourned
for the term, but Judge Gardner at
