Port Valley, Ga., Nov. 8.—Last
pf} ght all Port Valley arid many
si tors from nearby centers cele
le many benefits that the
peach city has reaped of
late.
The occasion was a delayed Hal
e’en celebration, deferred be
se of evangelistic services at
Baptist church on the tradi
lal fete day, and several thou
d people gathered here for a
imunity carnival.
Streets Roped Off.
At 6 o’clock, when the miniature
festival was scheduled to start, the
■■ had
streets been roped off and the
Central of Georgia band, brought
here from Macon, began to play.
The festivities continued until 11
o’clock. - r
There were speeches, masked at
tendants and booths filled with
beverages and sandwiches, which
were sold to all who had thirsty
palates and empty interiors and
eared to buy.
Several hundred dollars, were
realized and this fund will be used
for civic improvements.
■ Spirit
of Optimism.
In the spirit of carnivalry there
was discernible a spirit of optim
ism, adduced from the recent rati
fication at the poHs of the bill
creating Peach County, Fort Val
ley’s strides along educational
lines, the launching of the million
dollar ice plant, construction of
which will begin in about a week,
and prophecies of an era of the
greatest prosperity that Fort Val
■ & has ever known. - - -
The event was in charge of the
Woman’s Club and arranged un
der its auspices. Mrs. Monroe
Green is president of the club and
Mrs. A. M. Solomon was chairman
of the festival committee. Mrs.
Solomon directed the celebration
last year, which was on a much
smaller scale than last night’s
it.
Edibles Sold.
Ice cream, cakes, candies, bar
; ■ becue sandwiches, hot coffee and
many other edibles were sold to
the revellers.
Many school children were in
the crowds attending. Fort Valley
was gaily decorated as its annual
celebration of the harvest season
was held.
A NATURAL RESULT
“How do you get the water in
the watermelons?” asked the small
boy.
M O, I plant the seed in the
spring,” answered the gardener.
A REAL EMERGENCY
; Native—So you can’t go any
farther. What’s broke?
Tourist— -I am!
Regular airplane service across
the Atlantic to Europe within ten
years is predicted.

MAY BE USED TO
FIGHT WEEVILS
Athens, Ga., Nov. 8.—Success of
the airplane dusting demonstra
tion here last summer may lead to
the location of a big commercial
station in Athens next year, ac
cording to Dr. Andrew' M. Soule.
Officials of the State College of
Agriculture and the Huff-Deland
Aero Corporation of New York
have been in conference for sev
eral days and it is said to be very
likely that Athens will become the
center of operations for Georgia
in the control of the boll weevil
by airplane dusting.
The attention of the entire south
was focused on Athens last sum
’mer when the big dusting demon
stration with airplanes was car
ried on.
Much Interest.
The success of the experiment
created much interest in plane
dusting and led to plans now be
ing made to carry on dusting on a
commercial basis in this state.
While plans have not been made
public, it is reported that all oper
ations .will be centered in Athens,
with a main repair depot at South
er field at Americus, from which
point the dusting in south Georgia
will be handled.
A fleet of 17 planes will be
necessary to carry out the work
planned.
Enthusiastic.
Dr. Soule and Professor Camp
bell, of the state college, and G.
B. Post, who was in charge of the
planes used here last summer and
who now represents the Huff-De
land company in this state, are
enthusiastic over the outlook for
establishing an airplane cotton
dpsting 'center in the state, arid
in' view of the co-operation in this
work already established through
the recent demonstration here, it
is believed that major operations
will be carried on from Athens
next year.

CLUB WILL FLAY
HERE ON FRIDAY
Macon, Nov. 8.—A chorus of 20
voices, four end men, an (orches
tra of 10 pieces and a number of
extras, making a total of more
than 40 men, composing the Mer
cer University Glee Club of 1924,
will play in Griffin Friday even
ing, November 14, under the aus
pices of the high school annual.
The Macon Telegraph has had
a representative at the daily prac
tices of the club to criticise and
review this season’s program and
has this to say about the pros
pects:
Indications now are that the
club of 1924-25 will be the best
contingent of entertainers ever to
represent the university. Nearly
all of the members of last-year
are returned for another season
behind the footlights and with the
addition of new talent from the
Freshman class, the club is said to
be well balanced and calculated
to surpass even the exceptional
performances of the clubs of the
past two years.
A REASONABLE ATTITUDE
Judge—You don’t know whether
you’re guilty or not?
Defendant—No, Your Honor. -
J udge—Preposterous!
Defendant — Your Honor, how
could I when I haven’t heard yet
what a single witness has got to
say?
One bee-hive usually contains a
queen, 300 to 400 drones, and 40,
000 workers...... —

it for many generations.
