The gre - tent meeting in Cedar- n came io n close Sunday evening alter a two weeks series in which much good was accomplished. While under the auspices of the Presbyter ian church, it was in reality a union meeting, for all denominations par ticipated in it and were benefited by it. Dr. Robt. King, pnstor of the Pres byterian church at Kingsport, Tonn., proved an evangelist of power, and was ably assisted by the lender of music, Rev. B. F. Pirn, pastor of the Methodist church nt Jonesboro, with Mr. G. R. Rusk ns organist, and the local orchestra. During the closing days of the meetings the sweet voice of hjrs. A. B. Cunyus, of Carters- ville. was a pleasing part of the ser vice. There were over a hundred conver sions as a result of the meetings,their names going on the rolls of the vari ous churches from Cedartown and throughout the county, and over a hundred church letters were brought from their hiding places and put into active connection. The suggestion made Sunday night by Hon. W. W. Mundy that these tent meetings be held in Cedartown every summer struck a popular chord. The work of the meetings will be continued to a large extent. The or ganization of the Junior Choir, which did such appreciated work, will be maintained. The little folks will meet at 4 p. m. tomorrow at tin* Men’s Clasrf Room of the First Methodist church. The special prayer meetings will also be continued, the Business Men’s Evangelistic Club holding three ser vices each week in business houses and the ladies holding three meetings at homes in different pnrts of the city. It was a great mcet ng that Dr. King conducted, and the good influ ences that it set in motion will never cear.e. TTe wisely stressed the fact that he was not seeking for church members hut to lend people to want to do right —and a religion that docs not do that has no advantage over png"M«nn. If Dr. King and Mr. Pirn can ever arrange to come back to Cedartown, they will certainly be most gladly welcomed hero. PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE NEOSHO PLAN Of Community Adver tising Presented. Mr. G. R. Lowe, the author and exponent of the now famous Neosho Plan of Co-operative Retail Advertis ing-Merchandising, spent yesterday in the city, and outlined the plan last night at a luncheon at the Wayside Inn given by the Kiwanis Club in con junction with our retail merchants.

COTTON SEED ‘Fatty” in Trouble. Widespread Demand. The product of the Barnes Knitting Co., one of Cedartown’s excellent new industries, is finding a wide spread demand.’ The mill shipped 500 dozen hone Monday to Seattle, Wash., and oh the same day received an order to be fill ed in Guatemala, Central America. President J. H. Barnes is one of the South’s veteran knitters, and where good quality counts in making sales this Cedartown company is go ing to be “right there with tho goods.” Pork Club Contest. “Fatty” Arbuckle, one of the most popular fil | trouble. He gave a “gin jollificati Bureau of Markets will j one day Inst week in Los Angeles,Cal., and while “tanked up” seized a pretty actress at his table, put her in Ills room and barred the door, and so bad ly maltreated her that she died from the effects.

A •ran go moots ha to bee ii made The Stat today open a Division for handling Cotton Seed. The services of a man with a lifetime training in every phase of the cotton seed and oil mill business have been secured. This service will be entirely free, and will be extended to every shipper or pro ducer, or group of producers, who will ship as much as a carload of seed. It is well recognized in the cotton seed industry, that the price paid for seed is controlled by its oil content. It is established by experience that cotton seed vary in oil content from 37 to'47 gallons per ton. The major ity of seed in Georgia are bought by the mills on a mean average of from 40 to 41 gallons of oil per ton. Thus, it will be seen, usually the seller of seed containing 47 gallons of oil would not receive any more for his seed than would the* seller of seed . containing 37 gallons, although on the | present market price of oil the seed of i •17 gallons content would he worth $6 I per ton more than those of 37 gallons, i The oil mill industry is one of the j ino:.i important in the South, and has j crav/n into its service some of the best j and most brilliant minds of the South, j It is the intention of this Bureau to sock 4«ul-'obtain the co-operation of I tho oil millers, as a necessary adjunct j to the success of our new project.

Only such ! ■cod as have been sampled In strict compliance with the instructions o life State Bureau of Markets will b analyzed. Thus the mill will kno\ exactly what they are buying and be enabled to pay for the seed < basis of its value. The State Market Bureau pro;) to have listed with it names of o producer or group of producers will offer seed in car lots; also names of i very buyer of seed tn wag on jot?: vvlu will sell in car lots. ’i h'} ba; i • principle upon vhieh 'his Bureau has worked is to bring together the buyer a.a! .v-’b-r of Geor gia product!. In order to <•■A tblish and maintain this condition it i-. nec essary that both the !n> •” nr. I seller have an understanding ee. h of the problems of the ottm *.
