CORDELE DISPATCH June 15, 1934
MR. JACK SHEPPARD  THE GENIAL PROPRIETER OF THE WALL STREET GROCERY,HAS A 
HABIT OF SAYING "GOOD MORNING OLD TIMER" OR "GOOD EVENING OLD TIMER" WHEN 
SPEAKING TO SOME FRIEND WHO HAS RESIDED IN CORDELE SINCE THE EARLIER DAYS OF 
OUR CITY.WITH HIM ,THIS EXPRESSION OF "OLD TIMER"IS A FIXED HABIT.

THIS EXPRESSION OF HIS CAUSES THE THOUGHT THAT "JACK" IS AN "OLD 
TIMER"HIMSELF.HE AND THE CITY WERE CHILDREN TOGETHER AND I WOULD GUESS ONE 
ABOUT AS OLD AS THE OTHER.HE IS ONE OF THE FEW TO STICK IT OUT IN THE GROCERY 
BUSINESS REGARDLESS OF CHAIN STORES AND HAS MANY FRIENDS WHO LIKEWISE STICK TO 
HIM.
MR. JOHN SHEPPARD IS A GOOD AND PROGRESSIVE FARMER.FOR A NUMBER OF YEARSHE WAS 
CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS,AND WAS A GOOD ONE. HE STARTED 
WHEN THE ROADS NEEDED A GOOD ONE.HE SPENT AS MUCH TIME OR MORE OF HIS TIME 
LOOKING AFTER ROADS AS HE DID HIS OWN BUSINESS. WE DO NOT FORGET THE FACTS.
MR. BEN SHEPPARD WAS IN MERCANTILE BUSINESS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.HE HAS 
LIKEWISE BEEN A GOOD AND PROGRESSIVE FARMER.HE STILL OWNS A QUANTITY OF FARM 
LANDS. HIS FRIENDS REGRET HIS HEALTH IS NOT THE BEST ,BUT HE STILL DIRECTS HIS 
BUSINESS.HIS FRIENDS ARE NUMEROUS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND COUNTY.

Additional Comments:
THIS ARTICLE WAS NOT STARTED WITH THE IDEA IN VIEW OF DEVOTING IT ALL TO JUST 
ONE AND THE SAME FAMILY BUT JUST STARTED ON THESE BROTHERS AND THEN JUST KEPT 
IT GOING, AND NOW HAVE DECIDED NOT TO PROLONG IT BY MIXING OTHER "OLD TIMERS" 
WITH IT,FOR THESE SUBSTANTIAL BROTHERS AND GOOD CITIZENS DESERVE A COLUMN TO 
THEMSELVES. THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE ARTICLE . UE TO LENGTH I COULD NOT DO 
COMPLETE ARTICLE.
