Mr. Peacock was exhibiting a small pine root fifty feet long on the street Tuesday. It looked very much like a grape vine and was quite a curiousity.

We acknowledge an invitation from the Merchants Week Association of Savannah, to attend their May Carnival. Ellaville will be represented by several of her progressive merchants.

A picture that has been much admired is one made by Mr. Walters, of Edith, the sweet little daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H.S. Munro. It is so true to life that it is a perfect delight to look at the winsom baby face. end # 13
