kers of all denominations in
the United States and Canada.
The Governors of the states are
issuing proclamations regard
ing it. The movement is being
promoted by the Georgia Sun
day School Association and the
various County Sunday School
Associations.
As both the United States
and Canada will share in the ob
servance of this day, it is ex
pected to result in an increase
of between four and five mil
lion in the Sunday schools in
North America. *
The purpose Of the day is to
get as many people as possible

their choic/ on this occasion,
WMereSfr'tffem in Sunday school

over in our sister county of Hall
gives you a (fordial invitation to
come over next week, and take

a day or two off and attend.
There will be amusements a
plenty, and the people of that
little city will show you a good
time.
It will be well worth your
time to go and see the exhibits
made by the farmers of this sec

We say again, go over, see
the exhibits and come back

county fair next year that will
be an honor to the farmers, an
