There is a large number of high grade feeding steers and pure bred Hereford breeding cattle for sale in the drought stricken regions of Texas that will have to be sold and trans ferred to sectinos where there is feed for them or be slaugh tered. The U. S. Department of Ag riculture has placed a number j of specialists at Fort Worth toj locate and purchase the kindj and sex of cattle desired by secj tions wishing to purchase. The, cattle will have to be shipped: in car lots. The U. S. Department wired me to know if my county could use a car of these cattle. I re plied by wire that I thought my county could use a mixed car of Hereford weighing from 250 to 500 pounds for breeding and feeding if prices were right. I think we can get these cat-' tie delivered here at very rea-; sonable figures.. I want every farmer and bus iness man in Forsyth county, that are interested in building up livestock industry in Forsyth county to meet me in Cumming at my office on next Saturday. October 27th, at 2 p. m., and let’s talk this cattle business a little. I believe a car load of thorough' Med breeding. ;beof cattle scattered throughout the countv will do more for build ing up he county financially than tny other project we ctn enter into. Please meet me promptly and let’s let the world know that F orsyth county means business. S. J. Smith, County Agent. Notice.

New Garage Building The handsome new building being erected by Louis Wis dom and Roy Strickland for a garage, is nearing completion, and they expect to move in in a very few days. This building will be one of the most handsome and up to the minute garage buildings in North Georgia. Being erected as it is with a large number of windows to provide ample light for their workmen, and with handsome office rooms, and a rest room, they are well prepared to han dle Ford cars, apd do first class repairing on the Ford cars—in fact, they repair Fords only, as we understand it. Roy Strickland, the junior [ member of the firm has been i working with autos ever since 1 he was a little boy, and knows j more about them than any one |of his age in this section. He looks after the interest of the; firm here, and, not only will he treat you right, but he gives a cordial invitation to all the peo ple to bring their cars to him for repairs and adjustments. Louis Wisdom, the other mem her of the firm, like Zacheus, is small of statue, but he is as full ofenergy as a bed bug is of human flesh twenty two min utes after it hits the body, and is al .c son th a)e>t for hi in-seeing tbf t they re coi :c good treatmeit, the right par is, and entire satisfaction. These two boys started out a few ycaf3 ago to build up an agency for the Ford car that would make Mr. Ford himself sit up and take notice, and sue cess has crowned' their untiring efforts. Remember, they will sell you a Ford car, and when you have run it for sometime, and it needs attention, they repair 4ds. These boys deserve praise of the people of Cumming from the fact that the building they have erected here would be a credit to any town five times the size of ours.
