The objects of these contests are,
first, to promote the health and de
velopment of the youiiK people en
gaged, incidentally stimulating in
terest in Hardening among all the
people of the communities. Each
one of the mills set aside plots of
ground for their boys and girls, and
extended every possible aid and en
couragement. The fruits of the first
year's work are so highly encourag
ing as to justify expectation of con
tinuance of the work.

a few timely anil forceful remarks
upon the value und importance of ed
ucation.

llong appropriate lines. He told
♦he audience that he had heard so
nueh of what was being accomplish
ed bv the Episcopal Mission und the
people working together that he had
come to see for himself, and that he
had lenrnod much thnt he hoped to
apply with benefit to the people of
his home state. He paid a warm tri
bute to Mr. Phillips and his co-work
ers. and gave especial prnise to the
hoys and girls for the good showing
which they hud made in the first
year of their garden work.
Mr. Phillips then called on Mr. W.
W. Garner to say something to the
hoys and girls about their work.

Editor Reporter:
Knowing that your paper always
stands for the right and moral side
of everything affecting the good of
Troup county people, I beg space
through the columns of the Reporter
tc offer a few statements relative
to the Elks Club as being operated
directly under the eye of the officers
of the law of the city of LaGrange
and Troup county. This club as
I understand has a retail liquor li
cense issued by the Internal Revenue
Collector of the State, as will be
shown by the records in the office
at Atlanta. The record* of the ex
press office and the freight offices
of the railroads at ( LaGrange will
disclose that large quantities of
whiskey and beer is received by the
Club from time to time. Traveling
salesmen, representing wholesale liqu
or houses visit the club to solicit
orders and to make sales. The
scheme used by the Club is absolute
ly in violation of the law, whiskey
it. sold by the drink, pint and quart
just as sold in a regular open bar
room. The Club employs a bartend
er and porters, each table in the
Club i* provided with a call bell and
when you want a drink, a pint or
quart you tap the hell and a porler
comes to you, takes your order on
tin order blank prepared for the
purpose and retires to the bar-tender
and your order is prepared and serv
ed, ine porter collecting for same
and turning the money over lo the
bar-tender.
This open violation of the law is
curried on almost under the pulpit
of the Baptist Church, the Club
building almost joins the church
building, and, seems that it is allow
ed to operate without any objection
on the part of the Sheriff, Chief of
Police, Mayor and Aldermen, Judge
und Solicitor of the City Court,
Judge und Solicitor General of (he
Superior Court.
To my knowledge young men are
drinking to excess and frequently
leaving the Club drunk, and, still it
is allowed to operate in defiance of
the prohibition law of the State und
a City where churches and schools
and Christian people are supposed to
control. Will you not Mr. Editor
wuge u campaign of publicity against
this open violation of the law, so
that the people of the county will
bo advised of the true situation nnd
rise in their might and in the name
of the law and destroy the whole
thing and thereby save young tnen
from, drunkards’ graves.
Mr. Wadsworth
Manages Fair
The Reporter is this week in re
ceipt of a premium list from the Ala
chua County Fair at Gainsville, Fla.,
which takes place from the seven
teenth to the twentieth of November.
This fair is under the management
ol Mr. H. H. Wadsworth, who did
much toward making the Troup coun
ty Fair a success last year. Mr.
Wadsworth has made many friends
since he went to Floridu and an
ed to see Misses Hattie and Irene
Combs, also Miss Blanche Brendle
Monday afternoon.
Miss Eddie Mae Chastain has
been elected music teacher here, she
is a young woman of strong charact
er and splendid accomplishments,
and we feel sure that she will do
good work among our people and be
quite an addition to our school.
Doctors Will
Combine Practice
After Oct. 1st, Dr. W. H. Clark
vill he associated with Dr. H. W.
Terrell in the practice of medicine,
with offices over Goldstein Bros,
store.
We want you to see our
new store, whether you
buy or not, stop in and
take a look MILAM’S.
The artist has drawn a caricature here, but it fits thi
point of the text. Read and see if you don’t think so.
The hardest thing in this world is actually to do
things—to work.
It seems to be the bane of human nature to talk
and talk and talk and then fail to execute.
Work, work, work—that’s the only sure road to
success in anything.
If this is so for the individual it is a hundred
times more so for the people as a town whole.
Getting up steam for a town booming campaign is easy,
It s the going ahead that's hard—the actual work of arriving
somewhere.
We have a splendid opportunity in this town to gc
ahead.
You know that.
Are we going to do it ?
attempt has been made to get him to
move his family down there. P
Under the management of Mr. c
Wadsworth, we are satisfied that t
this fair will be a great success. The s
magazine which we have received is i d
neatly gotton up and is a credit to 1 b
the Gainsville Publishing Company 1 a
as well as to the management of the t
fair. Eighty-eight pages arc en- t
closed in a dainty little cover of c
black and red. r
The spirit of the fair is express- t
ed in these words which we clip a
from the premium list: n
This County Fair is the first real
regressive movement that has tak-
n place in Alachua County in more
lan a generation. This Fair is pofe-
;ble because a few patriotic men
otermined to stand together. The
uildings, the grounds and exhibits
re as nothing to compare with what
le plant will be five years hence if
ie hundreds and hundreds of citizens
f the county who ought to be inter-
sted will only fall into line and give
he work their substantial support
nd their whole-hearted endorse-
lent.
