Price of Georgia Hogs
Under Probe.
An investigation of the com
plaints regarding the differences in
price paid for hogs in Chicago, as
compared with prices paid by the
meat puckers at Moultrie and other
points in Georgia, has been started
by the division of puckers and stock
yards administration of the Agricul
tural Department,Senator W. J.Har
ris, was advised Saturday by Secre
tary Wallace.
In connection with the alleged
price discrimination the Secretary of
Agriculture also directed an inquiry
into statements of the packers that
peanut-fed hogs in Georgia did not
bring as large prices as corn-fed
hogs because the former were soft
and oily. Senator Harris contends
that peanut-fed hogs have been dis
criminated against, ns they are sold
as finished products at the same
prices as other hogs; but if there is
a difference bccuuse of the softness,
he wants the information placed be
fore the hog raisers.

Chas. ^damson, the progressive
head of the Cedartown Cotton & fix-

The City School Board has bought
from Rev. T. M. Stribling, at a cost
of $.3,550, his property on South Col-
legt street whicB lies in front of a
port of our school playground there,
for the erection of the new building
for the Grammar grades.
The Board last week made a con
tract with Roberts & Co., architects
of Atlanta, for the plans and speci

ANNOUNCEMENT
TO —
FARMERS OF POLK and ADJOINING COUNTIES
TAKE NOTICE
It is up to YOU this year to run and SUPPLY YOUR OWN FARM, if you ever hope to get out of debt and on
your feet again. It is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY that you go on a CASH BASIS, and in order to make
your dollar go as far as it will, WE HAVE DECIDED, IN ORDER TO HELP YOU OUT AND ASSIST
YOU IN MAKING ONE CHEAP CROP, to sell you anything in the wholesale line that we carry at
NET CASH WHOLESALE PRICES
We fully realize that every line of business in this country depends on the success of the FARMER, and we are
going to do our bit to help you make a cheap crop by selling you everything we carry at wholesale prices.
We have, as you know, been in the wholesale business here for the last eighteen years, selling no one but mer-
cL^nts. We were the first wholesale house in Cedartown. It was through our efforts that Cedartown secured
the same freight rates as Atlanta and Rome, which saved many a dollar to the merchant and the consumer
alike.
In making this announcement we fully realize that we may lose some of our best customers among merchants,
but WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT WHEN THEY THINK IT OVER, THEY WILL CHANGE THEIR
MINDS, FOR tF THE FARMER CANNOT SUCCEED, HOW CAN THEY HOPE TO?
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE GOING OUT QF THE WHOLESALE BUSINESS, BUT IT
DOES MEAN THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO ALL WE CAN TO HELP THE FARMER MAKE A
CHEAP CROP,for as we see it,THE SUCCESS OF THE FARMER MEANS THE SUCCESS OF EVERY
MERCHANT, wholesale and retail, as well as the Banks and other lines.
SO START NOW ON A CASH BASIS, BUY AT WHOLESALE PRICES, MAKE A CHEAP CROP, and
you will soon be out of debt, have a nice little bank account, and wear no man’s collar.
We are making a great sacrifice in your behalf in making this announcement. If you fail to take advantage
of it, you may never have another chance. Notice No. 1. Look for No. 2.
