ED OPENS NOVEMBER 20.
In view of the fact that the part
of the game season in which Monroe
county hunters are most interested
will open soon, the following informa
tion furnished by Mr. C. N. Johnson,
county game warden, is published:
In a message to Georgia hunters,
Commissioner Twitty calls attention
to the fact that Georgia’s game laws
are more reasonable than those of
any other state; her open seasons are
longer and her bag limits are more
liberal; and unless our people respect
the limited regulations now fixed by
law and kill with moderation, it will
be a question of only a short time .
before some of our most valuable
species will be entirely gone.
The open seasons are as follows:

ner. The still was in a specially con
structed house made of logs and ceil
ed and weather-boarded and other
wise built to guard against the es
cape of fumes from the still. The

GEORGIA GAINS LESS
THAN ONE PER CENT
FINAL POPULATION FIGURES
GIVE STATE INCREASE OF 12,-
674 SINCE 1920. HAD 85,543
INHABITANTS IN 1790.
Final population figures for Geor
gia have just been issued by the Cen
sus Bureau in bulletin form. The to
tal population of the state is given
as 2,908,506, which represents an in
crease of 12,674, or 0.4 per cent.
This is the smallest decennial increase
the state has ever shown.
At the first census of the United
Slates in 1790, Georgia was found to
have a population of 82,543, and
ranked as the eleventh in population
among the thirteen original states.
During most of its subsequent hisory
its population has increased rapidly.
Even during the decade of the War
Between the States the rate of in
crease was 12 per cent. On the basis
of its 1930 population, Georgia will
rank as the fourteenth of the pres
ent 48 states.
All of the increase in the popula
tion of the state during the past dec
ade was in or near the urban cen
ters. The rural population declined
sharply. Atlanta, the capital and lar
gest city in Georgia, has a popula
tion in the city proper of 270,366,
representing an increase of 69,750,
or 34,8 per cent, over its population
in 1920. Savannah, which was the
largest city in the state before the
census of 1880, now ranks as second
city, with a population of of 85,024.
Augusta, with a population of 60,342,
is now the third city in the state,
and Macon is fourth, with 53,829 in
habitants in the city proper. Columbus
is the fifth city in the state, and the
remaining cities of 10,000 or more,
in order of population, are Rome,
LaGrange, Athens, Waycross, Albany,
Brunswick, Valdosta, Decatur, Thom
asville and Griffin. The three last
named cities first attained a popula
tion of 10,000 between 1920 and
1930.

I An act of the Georgia state legis
| lature, approved August 17, 1929,
provides for the establishment of the
“Municipality of Atlanta”, including
in addition to the city or boroligh of
Atlanta proper, the city or borough
of Decatur, and several other incor
porated and unincorporated areas.
The population of this “municipal
ity” is 360,691. Similarly, by an act
approved August 23, 1929, the “Mu
nicipality of Macon” was established,
including Payne City or borough and
unincorporated communities. The
population of this “municipality” »"
64,045.
Georgia has 161 counties, of which
six have been organized since 1920.
The organization of these new coun
ties affected the boundaries and areas
of 12 other counties in the state. A
great majority of the counties whose
boundaries remained unchanged de
clined in population between 1920
and 1930. A few counties, however,
showed a substantial increase in pop
ulation. The greatest percentage of
increase was in Chattahoochee coun
ty, which includes some of the indus
trial area surrounding the city of
Columbus. Large increases were
shown also by DeKalb and Fulton
counties, in which the city of Atlan
ta is located. Other counties which
showed substantial increases were
Catoosa, which includes some of the
industrial area surrounding Chatta- '
nooga, Tenn.; Upson, including the
city of Thomaston, and Muscogee, in
cluding the city of Columbus.
A copy of the first series popula
tion bulletin for Georgia, giving the
number of inhabitants in each coun- •
ty, militia district, city, town and vil
lage, may be obtained by writing to
the Bureau of the Census, Washing

Forsyth in celebration of Armistice
Day Tuesday, but a holiday was ob
served by the majority of the business

sought pleasure and amusement or at
tended celebrations elsewhere.

We feel that on account of business conditions it
is to our interest to reduce the amount invested in
The Farmers Bank.
There are more banks in this town than necessary
to handle the business.
We cannot at the small rate of interest that we
charge pay a dividend on the investment.
The man who is successfully meeting the demands
of today’s business finds he has little time for any
thing else. That one job keeps him busy.
His other job .... the management of his personal
investments .... though it require more care than
ever .. . must get along somehow with less attention.

NUMBER FORTY-ONI
LIONS CLUB HEARS
FARM DISCUSSIONS
LARGE NUMBER OF MEMBERS
HEAR A. J. JOHNSON AND J.
G. OLIVER TALK ON FARMING
INTERESTS OF COUNTY.
T^e special meeting of the Lions
Club Friday night was the best at
tended meeting of 'he year qnd very
lelpful and interesting discussions
were included in the program of the
wening. The time of meeting had
been changed in order that Messrs.
X. J. Johnson and J. G. Oliver might
be present and address the club in
•elation to the farming interests of
he county and the securing of a suit
able county agent.
Mr. Oliver discussed some of the
’eneral aspects of farming and laid
dress upon that phase of farming
whereby the fa/mer would so cut his
expenses as to make the marketing of
his produce profitable. He also out
lined the work of the farm agent and
tressed the importance of the people
■ooperating with him in order that
progressive programs might' be car
ried out successfully,
Mr. Johnson elaborated the theory
that unprofitable farming might often
be traced to the cultivation of land
not sufficiently productive and
advised that it would be a wise step
to devote some of the land now in
cultivation to the growing of timber.
He stated that the best man available
at the price would be secured for the
county and expressed the belief that
much good would be accomplished by
the cooperation of the farmers and
the agent in advancing the interests
of agriculture here.
