The Schley County News Friday, June 25, 1909 No.24 LOCAL AND PERSONAL We failed to get out a paper last week. Some few missed it, while others didn't know the difference; of course, we realize that no one was badly damaged by the omission, but it is always our desire to get the paper to our readers every week. Our excuse for not doing so last week is that we failed to get paper from Atlanta--we won't say whether this was the fault of the express company or due to the fact that we hadn't paid for that we had already gotten.
