Farms For Sale
During the past seven days we have sold ten tracts aggregating $42,000.00. This
is sufficient evidence that our price is right.
We still have on hand several good farms to show you. The prices range from
$17.50 to $75.00 per acre, owing to improvements and location.
In our honest judgment now is the time to buy land. For the next five years we
are not likely to have any cheap prices forany of the products of the faini. Take our
advice and buy you a farm to day, whether you buy from us or net.
We would be glad to show you any of the farms we have for sale. i

War Risk Insurance.
“Pm hanging to my war in
surance’“ said, a returned sol
dier in Atlanta the other day.
“Two reasons— I can’t get any
other for as little money and,
as a matter of fact 1 can’t get
any other at all. Can’t stand the
physical examination now.’’
The soldier now discharged
and back at his old work iix civ
il life, showed plainly that he
had tlie idea. War nsurance is
good business,. It, s a good invest
ment. It is the cheapest insur
ance that ever was. And the dis
charged soldier has five years
in which to convert it into any
one of a half dozen or more dif
ferent types.
There’s no hurry—just keep
up the payments-, and consult
the nearest Red Cross chapter
or branch. There you can learn
all about war risk insurance &
its conversion into the best pos
sible investment of civil life.
Large Crowd Here.
A crowd that nearly reached
the number at the big June
singing was in Cumming Satur
day to pay their respects to the
old and new soldiers.
The principal speaker of the
day was Hon. Clifford Walker
of Atlanta, our Attorney-Gen
eral, and they do say that Cliff
made a hit with the people.
Addresses were made by Col.
Patterson C. L. Harris and
others and a good time was
enjoyed by all.
There was plenty to eat for
the soldiers and everybody,
and people will get ready soon
to have another reunion next
year.
Music was furnished by the
Cumming Band the best in
Georgia.
Notice.
I understand it has been of
ten reported over the county
that I was against Road Bonds
and 1 make this statement to
correct that impression. While
1 do not approve of what some
parties have done, I can not af
ford to oppose a movement for
good roads which is so much
needed in this county. Let’s
not turn back because some
mistakes have been made but
lets go forward and correct
them. I believe we will make
a serious mistake if we fail to
cari*y the bond issue.
Respectfully
S. H. Allen,
Notice School Districts.
The feoard will meet on Wed
nesday Aug. 20th for the pur
