Farmers, Borrow From Us
Borrow from us the money you will need this
Spring, instead of borrowing it from your mer
chant. We want good farm accounts. We
want the accounts of farmers who need the
money in the Spring and who will be able to
pay it back in the Fall.
The Merchants, too, want good farm accounts,
but they prefer to sell the farmers for CASH,
and will sell them CHEAPER if they know
they are going to get the cash.
Once you start borrowing from us, you’ll nev
er go back to the old custom. It’s the BEST
way, so why not start it at once?

Canine Has No
’ o ’
Legal Standing
Atlanta, April 18.—It makes no
difference if it is a hound, or a
setter, or any other breed for that
matter under Georgia law, it isn’t
property.
That’s the way the state court
of appeals sizes up the canine con
tingent in a decision declaring that
while horses, cows, hogs and other
domestic animals have a fixed
value, a cannie no matter what its
pedigree and intrinsic value, has
no legal standing in dollars and
cents.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the Alabama Great South
ern Railroad versus W. W. Crre
ton of Rising Fawn, Dade county.
Emmett R, Shaw, candidate for
Congressmas from this District,
was in the city yesterday. shaking
