I A PUZZLE
I No doubt it has always been a puzzle to you why and
I how we could sell first class merchandise for less than any of
I our competitors. But this is very simple. Our
f well experienced buyer, seeing far ahead, has purchased for
immediate and contracted for merchandise for later deliveries
before the advance in prices.
, m -Now We Have
Plenty of this merchandise in the house and more coming
and we\re willing to give you the benefit of this advantage.
All we want is the lagitimate profit.

Private R. A. Davis, eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. James R. Davis, of Au
i vergne, and a most excellent young
I man, who enlisted last September,
has been stationed until recently at
Camp Wheeler, Georgia, but is now
at Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas.
He has completed a two months’
course in an automobile school and is
now with the 7th Division Ammun
nition train. Three weeks ago Pri
vate Davis, with four officers and
nine men were sent from Camp
Wheeler to Fort Oglethorpe, travel
ing in four trucks. There object was
to deliver nine machine guns and am
munition cases. On the trip near
Cartersville, Ga., one of the trucks
became unmanageable and went over
an embrankment, turning upside
down. Private Davis was one of the
men caught under the truck, which
weighed 6,000 pounds, and was for
tunate to get off with injuries short
of death. The injured boys were
left in the town and while there were
shown every courtesy and attention
by the widow of the late Evangelist
Sam P. Jones, and other residents of
Cartersville, all being untiring in
their attentions to the boys who were
unable to continue their journey for
A few days.
A FEW CORRECTIONS.
The report is being circulated that
Newport should support Prof. Thom
as for Superintendent of Schools of
this county because he, Prof. Thomas,
worked on the city’s levees during the
recent overflow. The report also
says that the other candidates stood
around in the midst of it all and can
vassed for votes while Prof. Thomas
was working.
I do not know what the other can
didates did, but do know that so far
as I am concerned, the report is ab
solutely false. I was not in Newport
at all while Prof. Thomas was at
work. I was at home trying to farm.
I went to Newport late Thursday ev
ening, the lGth, and left about 4 p.
m. the next day. While in the city
I did not mention my candidacy to a
single individual, except when di
rectly questioned. I make this of
fer: if a single citizen will say that
I did canvass anyone during this
time, I will have my name taken off
the ticket.
The truth of the matter is, 1
found a certain citizen cf Newport
and Prof. Thomas himself canvassing
on the streets Friday morning, the
17th. They were, of course canvass
ing in the interest of Prof. Thomas.
Prof. Thomas told me that he was
in the city and could net get home,
and that a certain person came along,
and asked him to the work.
Newport can never justly reward
those who saved her from the flood
waters. She ought to in some way
honor Prof. Thomas and all others
that took part in the rescue work. I
myself deserve no honor for I was
not there at the critical period. The
only thing that I am objecting to is
in the statement: “The other can
didates stood around and canvassed
while Prof. Thomas worked.” I am
not asking for the office because of
some catious contingency, nor be
cause I am a native of the county.
Neither am I asking for the office
because I am a farmer and a teach
er, nor because 1 am a Baptist, a pro
hibitionist, and an Odd Fellow, but I
am asking- for the office because I
have struggled and aspired for a po
sition which is in the gift of an ap
preciative public.
Over at Grubbs I hear it rumored
that I will lose my home township
because I insulted a certain lady of
my community something like a year
ago. From another source comes the
word that I have quit the race in dis
grace. I am not going to be sur
prised if next I hear that I am a
horse thief. If I am going to lose my
home township the citizens of that
township ought to be aware of it.
Again I make this offer: If one
reputable citizen of Richwoods town
ship will say that I am going to lose
my home support on any account, I
will get out of the race. The fact is,
the reputable citizenship of my
township are supporting me and will
endorse me every day in the year, if
I so desire. I am not trying to elicit
a little political sympathy, nor do I
want a single vote just because I am
a mere victim. If these reports con
cerning me are true I ought to be
kicked out of the county, but if they
are untrue, (and they are) the re
spectable citizenship should assist
me in their correction. My
have been here in Richwoods
ship something like 60 or 65
Long enough to establish a
tion, be that reputation good
If it is bad the older and
citizenship of the county know
every pood citizen' in the c0un ’ i
vote in the interesjtlof Jackson
ty. If that vote mean* my o
shall continue to say that J®c
county is the best county in
state. If it means my nomination,
shall be the happiest fellow in t e
county.
I am yours faithfully,
J. % BALCH.
