offered as prir.es. Those which dis
pense the c linn in ir lifesir.e doll babies
and real hams seem to be the most
popular. There are two shooting
galleries, both of which are being
liberally patronized.
While there is naturally a feeling
of disappointment thut the farmers
of Troup County are not adequately
represented in the displays of farm
products, it is felt, on the whole, that
the fair will prove of lasting benefit,
not only through the wholesome ex
ample of the displays which were
brought in, hut as un inspiration to
more of the farmers to make exhibits
next year; and, what is of greatest
importance, to have this in mind
throughout the year while planting
and harvesting their various crops.
One enthusiastic nnd progressive far-
mer was hoard to nay that ho was
ashamed of himself for not having
done more this year toward promot
ing an institution of such manifold
possibilities for benefit as well as
pleasure, but that he intended to be
on hand next year with some ex
hibits thot will make Troup County
people proud of their section.

DON’T WAIT!
m BUY RUGS NOW X
Before the war we bought a large assortment of
Rugs and Carpets. Sintie then the German dye Stuffs
foreign wools, etc., have been hard to get, almost
impossible. As these are extensively used in the
manufacture of rugs and carpets, you can readily
see the price must advance soon, because of the
scarcity of these articles.
But while they last we are selling the rugs and car
pets we purchased before the war at the same low
prices—no advance whatever.
This is a timely warning to those of our customers
who need rugs and carpets. Better buy NOW, and
save money.
