Aged Citizens!
Men Who Might Have Voted for Harrison's Grandpa
But None of Whom Will Vote for Ben
A Very Healthy Showing for Spalding County

The following list of men in this county who were
old enough to vote for "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too"
in 1840 has been carefully compiled by Col. T.W.
Thurman and will prove of interest. How many of them
voted for the grandpa of the present candidate it is
impossible to ascertain, but it is safe to say that
none of them will vote for Ben.

In as small a county as Spalding, this list speaks
well for the healthfulness of the section. Here are
seventy-two good citizens all over sixty-nine years
old and therefore practically within the lines of of
the psalmist's three score and ten allotment of
life. Many of them are even "Jackson Democrats,"
having cast their votes for that herotic leader of
the party.
