The new county of Evans, our offspring and neighbor, is providing its ability to stand alone, and not only that but to show the old county a thing or two in progressive and the ideal workings of the Booster Spirit upon the largest and most approved scale.  Scarcely released from the maternal apron strings yet they have contracted a Chautauqua company at a cost of several hundred dollars for a three day's jubilee and great get-together meeting for the purpose of boosting the new county and her people, and infusing in them the progressive spirit without which no county can prosper or realize the greatest pleasures to be derived from independence of thought and administration.

And to show that their hearts are in the right place -- and possibly to make some amends for severing our sorely needed limbs the way they did last year, as well as Bulloch County, too -- they have kindly and unselfishly set aside two days, the first day for Bulloch County Day, and tomorrow, Friday, is Tattnall County Day.  The last day, Saturday, is reserved as Evans County Day.

While the people of Evans County as promoted by such unselfish and patriotic principles, and so long as the spirit lasts the county will grow and prosper:  such unity of mind and purpose can mean but one thing -- the greatest good to the whole people and the advancement of the interests of the whole county.  If neighbors are loyal to each other and to their county and if they rejoice in each other's welfare and join in promoting each other's prosperity there can be no such thing as the failure of that county to go ahead in the face of all obstacles and to arrive at last at the pinnacle of greatness in every respect.
