GIVEN 4-STAR JEWEL
Barnesville.—Flying squadrons of
cotton pickers composed of busi
nessmen, college students and in
dustrial workers have organized
and will continue to aid farmers in
this county to harvest the lint crop.
The groups were organized as a
follow-up of the cotton picking
holiday movement of Mayor H. J.

when 369 bales were picked.
The squadrons expect to go to
the fields after classes and be

he added:
"I did not begin to use tobacco
until I was 21. I wish now that

I think that if I had my life to
go over, I would not do that.
"We are growing too lax in tho
training of our children and mak

The governor, who was defeated
for re-election in the September 9
primary, said "I never dreamed that
I would enter state politics until
about two weeks before I entered
the race for commissioner of agri
culture. None of my people on
either side were politicians.
“I have about decided that I am a

Then after reviewing his record
as commissioner of agriculture for
three terms and as governor three
terms, Talmadge said:
“I think the best service that I
was ever able to do for the state
during my present term was my po
sition and definite stand against
all efforts, directly and indirectly
to promote co-education of the
whites and blacks in our colleges.”
He reiterated his belief that he
had "won this issue”—that for sev

With pardonable Southern pride, we have
always believed we brew just about the best
Ale and' Beer in the world. Naturally there
has always been plenty of lively competition

beer.
You have stood by us—not, we bdieve, be
cause of any local sentiment but because we
delivered a product second to none at a
reasonable price.
Now a change has come over the scene.
Many competitors have abandoned this
market and are now restricting their activities
to looking after their home communities.
That’s exactly what we at Atlantic have
always dope. We "stayed home” and brewed
the best Ale and Beer that could be brewed
regardless of cost. We have always been,
more interested in quality than quantity.
Now when the pinch comes, it’s up to us
to try and fill in the gap. Despite shortages
of bottle caps, restrictions on deliveries to
conserve rubber and gasoline, shortage of
man power due to the enlistment of many of
our personnel in the Armed forces—and faced
with unprecedented demand for our prod
ucts, we have increased our production to the
limit of the capacity of our four breweries
without sacrificing quality one iota.
It’s no longer just a question of selling beec
or making money. Under existing condi
tions there is little doubt but what we can
' sell all that we can brew. We have redoubled
our efforts in order to keep faith with both
our trade and our customers.
It’s a matter of pride with us now—YOU
STOOD BY US-NOW WELL STAND
BY YOU!
