Success to All Who Pay Their Honest Debts—“Be Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead.”
BLAKELY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1919
THE FOURTH ANNUAL
EARLY COUNTY FAIR.
Agricultural and Live Stock Exhibits
to Be Specially Boosted.
The Board of Directors of the Ear
ly County Fair Association held a
meeting Tuesday morning and trans
acted some important business relat
ing to the success of the fourth an
nual Early County Fair to be held
next October.
Among other things discussed was
the desirability of making a com
plete display of the agricultural and
livestock resources of Early county,
and President Freeman and Secretary
Dußose and the Various committees
resolved to put forth every effort to
induce our people to exhibit their
products and live stock at the fair.
Suitable amusements will also be
furnished during the fair, but special
efforts will be put forth to eliminate
all undesirables from the concession
aires.
The News is printing in the cur
rent issue the agricultural and live
stock premium lists. The prizes of
fered are decidedly attractive and
well worth striving for in every de
partment, and we hope many of our
farmers in Early county will make an
effort to pull down the’ premiums.
Let’s have a real agricultural and live
stock show along with our fun and
frolic.
WOODMEN CHANGE DATE
OF MEMORIAL EXERCISES.
At their meeting Tuesday night,
Ebony Camp No. 404 W. O. W. of
Blakely, decided to change the date
of their memorial jexercises—Lfwn-
Friday, June 6th, to Sunday, June
Bth. Th& continued rainy weather
has made it impractical for many of
the members to attend on Friday,
hence the change to Sunday.
All woodmen are requested to
meet at the hall in Blakely at ' 2
o’clock p. m., new time. The graves
in the Blakely cemetery will be dec
orated, after which the Sovereigns
will repair to the Colomokee ceme
tery, where they will unveil the
monument to the memory of J. G.
Thompson, deceased.
All Sovereigns are urged to he
on time and bring flowers, and those
owning cars are asked to bring them.
DR. EMMETT IRWIN
NOW WITH UNCLE SAM.
A private note from Dr. Emmett
E. Irwin from Norfolk, Va., brings
the intelligence that he is now con
nected with the United States De
partment of Commerce as surgeon on
the U. S. Steamer “Sialia,” in the
Coast and Geodetic Survey.
He won the position in a nation
wide non-assembled examination and
made a general average of 94 per
cent.
The vessel on which he is station
ed was formerly the private yacht of;
Henry Ford and was taken over by
the w r ar department when war was
declared against Germany. Emmett
says it is a mansion on water.
The vessel will cruise around the
Atlantic coast, through the Panama
Canal on to San ' Francisco, which
port will be headquarters.
L. T. HUDSON IS THE
CHAMPION SNAKE KILLER.
On last Saturday morning while
L. T. Hudson was strolling about the
field he came upon a big moccasin.
He made quick work of it. Then see
ing several more, he sailed into them,
killing just forty-nine young ones.
L. T. is the nine-year-old grandson
of Mr. J. B. Hodges, of Jakin. When
he told of his snake killing, the fam
ily seemed to think that it was a big
snake tale. To prove his work, L. T.
picked up an old tin bucket and
brought the whole snake family to
the house and counted them out for
the folks —just fifty of them.
SPLENDID PICTURE AND
MUSIC MONDAY NIGHT.
“Every Mother’s Son” Accompanied by
Orchestra Music.
“Every Mother’s Son” is the name
of the splendid feature production
which will he shown with special
orchestra music Monday night at the
Cozy Theatre.
The story concerns a typical Amer
ican family—husband, wife and three
sons. When the w r ar breaks the eld
est son unhesitatingly answers his
country’s call and is one of the first
to reach foreign soil. The mother
bids him good-bye with a smile,
though her heart is breaking. And
very soon afterwards the next son,
Smiling Bill, gets his chance —and ac
cepts it. The day of his departure
the father receives word that the
first son is reported missing. He
keeps this from his wife until after
Smiling Bill has gone. Then her
heart breaks. She resolves that her
youngest son shall not be taken
from her —and when she receives
word that Smiling Bill has been
seriously wounded in action —her re
solve becomes a passionate convic
tion.
The first son, taken a prisoner,
escapes by a ruse and is protected
behind the German lines by a French
girl, true daughter of her country.
Smiling Bill recovers from his
wounds in a base hospital. But the
mother still clings to her youngest.
When the 18-t.o-4’5 draft goes into ef
fect she hurries him off to their
home by the sea. There the outraged
father comes, bound that his son
shall not prove a coward. In the
midst of a heated argument refugees
from a torpedoed ship come through
"ttartowif. They’are given a place of
rest in the house —and then the moth
er sends her third son off with a
smile. Intimate contact with suffer
ing—this converts her.
And she is rewarded, for on Christ
mas day all her sons return. The
eldest, promoted to the rank of cap
tain, brings home a wife —the French
girl who saved him from the Germans.
Smiling Bill returns safe and sound

INVEST BOND INTEREST
IN WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Mayor C. M. Deal Urges Upon Local
Bond Owners.
Re investment of First Liberty Loan
Bond interest in Thrift and War
Savings Stamps is urged upon the
ctizens of Blakely by Mayor C. M.
Deal.
The Government will make a semi
annual interest payment on the First
Liberty Loan on June 15th, at- which
time the sum of $809,955.12 will be
turned over to investors in the
Sixth Federal Reserve District.
“Many of our citizens own First
Liberty Bonds,” the Mayor said. “The
Treasury Department has urged all
who can to take this interest money
and re-invest it in Thrift and War
Savings Stamps. By this means
they can turn their interest into more
interest. This is profitable patriotism
and I trust that those who own First
Liberty Bonds will comply with the
Treasury Department’s request.
“Arrangements have been made so
that you can exchange your Liberty
Loan interest coupons for Thrift and
War Savings Stamps at the postof
fice. The postmaster has a sufficient
supply of these Government securi
ties on hand and will be pleased to
accommodate you. War Savings
Stamps are always cashable at the
postoffice on ten days’ notice. We
have too much civic pride to do less
than our neighboring cities. They
are planning Jo work up a big in
crease in War Savings Sales on June
35th, and to do it largely on their
interest coupons.
and the a_li*ve of
absence from his ship.
“Every Mother’s Son” is not a
war picture, but a great human
drama with the war as a background,
with all rapine and the like omitted.
A great 2 reel Sunshine comedy
will also be shown.
Due to extra expense of music
and this production, the admission
price will be advanced to 15c and
25c.
