Colbert, Ga. ---Miles W. Collier, who will be sent to the legistlature by 
Madison county again for two years, having been nominated without opposition 
in the recent Democratic primary, is a farmer who regards agriculture pretty 
much as the best business men regard their affairs.

   Mr. Collier has made a success of farming has three children is High school 
and college and finds time to interest himself in the civic, religious and 
educational affairs of this community.

   Mr. Collier was elected to the legislature two years ago, defeating Senator-
elect J. O. M. Smith.  In the legislature he served on the powerful Ways and 
Means committee and was a factor in passage of the fertillizer bill which 
requires the printing of the formula on the outside of the pack.

   Mr. Collier believers that if there is a secret to his success as a farmer 
it lies in the fact that he raises feed for his livestock and food for his 
family on his own farms located in Madison, Oglethorpe and Oconee counties.  
By doing that he is enabled to actually " Live at home."  While he is 
intensely interested in farming, he is more than less interested in the 
educational programs of the community and county.  He served for some time as 
member of the Board of Education of Colbert and was its president .  He was 
president of Colbert Bank during its existence for several years.

   Mr. Collier married Miss Ouida Colbert of Madison County.  They have 
three children, Miles Arnold, a senior at the University of Georgia; Ralph C. 
Collier, student at G. M. C., Milledgeville and Miss Ouida Collier, student of 
Colbert High school. Mr. Collier is an alumnus of Mercer and the University 
of Georgia.  He was graduated from Universtiy of Georgia in 1901.  He is a 
native of Oglethorpe county and a deacon in the Colbert Baptist Church.  His 
fraternal orders are Mason, Elks, Knight of Pythias.
