MATHEWS HERE IN THE
INTEREST OF JENKINS
George W. Mathews, superintenden*
of the Eatonton public schools, was in
Americus Monday night and Tuesday
morning in the interest of the candi
dacy of Judge W. Frank Jenkins, of
Eatonton, one of the candidates for
judge on the court of appeals for three
new- places.
Mr. Jenkins is the son of the wel
known and lamented Judge W. Frank
Jenkins. He has been practicing law
tw’enty years, and was a delegate to
the last national democratic conven
tion. He was tendered the solicitor
generalship of the Ocmulgee circuit
some time ago when Joseph E. Pottle
resigned to become a candidate for
governor.
Considerate Statesman.
“Os course you have your own ideas
about what the government ought to
do in a crisis.” "Yes. But I’m not
saying anything. Maybe the govern
ment will have to act so promptly
there won’t be time to listen to all the
speeches I could make on the sub
ject.”—Washington Star.
Familiar Remark.
Our second child had red hair, and
whenever we took him out someone
would remark about it. When the
baby was two years old we were giv
ing a dinner party hind while waiting
for the guests to arrive I was putting
on the last touches and brushed the
baby’s hair. He looked up at me and
said: “I pose de lady will say, ‘Wher’
did your baby det his red hair?’ ”—Ex
change.
Little Mary's Suggestion.
Her father took Mary out for a walk
one day in the country. They passed
a pasture where some bulls were in
closed. The bulls were bellowing, and
Mary’s father attempted an imitation
of it, to the great amusement of Mary,
who finally said, after many encores
had been rendered for her benefit,
“Daddy, wouldn’t it be a good joke if
we -were to hide behind a tree, and
when people came, by you would undo
your voice and frighten them.”
