PREMIUM LIST FOR COUNTY FAIR To be Held in Cedarto wn Next Week-Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday. You are coming to the County I Fair in Cedartown next week, of course.

The Fair this year promises to he a good one, and much interest is be ing manifested throughout the coun ty. Aragon held a Community Fnir last Saturday that was ns good as many county affairs, and all who saw it are enthusiastic over it.

The best of the exhibits at these two fairs will be brought to the Coun ty Fair next week, and any other dis tricts that beat them will have to hus tle.

Thos. E. Watson, Georgia’s junior United States Senator, passed away early Tuesday morning in Washington. While it was known that his health had been far from good for some time, no one had anticipated his udden death, and the news came as n surprise nnd shock to the state. His death was directly due to bronchial usthma. Senntor Watson was sixty-six years of age, and those years havi been full of activity. He hns won distinction at the bar and as a his torian,and in the realm of politics has had a following that idolized him and which placed him in the nation’s highest legislative body. No Georgian possessed a more eloquent tongue and brilliant pen,und none wielded a wider personal influence, and his death is most sincerely mourned. The remains of Senator Watson have been brought to his home at Thomson, where funeral services will be held this afternoon. His Successor. The successor to Senator Watson for his unexpired term will be chosen at the November election, and it is probable that a primary will be order ed in advance of the election to nom inate a candidate for the Senate nnd for Pension Commissioner, though the coming State Convention may make those nominations. In the meantime, it will devolve on Gover nor Hardwick to appoint a Senator to servo until the general election, and it is thought probable his choice will fall on Hon. W. C. Vereen, of Moul trie. Many names are being suggested to fill tho unexpired term, among them being Hon. Clork Howell of At. lanta, Hon. Herbert Clay of Marietta, and three able South Georgia jurists — Judges Whipple, Thomas and George. Price to Advance.

Mrs. Annie K.

Treasury Savings Certificates, on sale at the post office, are for those seeking an investment with the as surance of absolute safety and a guarantee of the return of principal with interest at the rate of 4 1-2% on present issue price, compounded semi-annually if held to maturity.

It is indeed gratifying to the peo ple of this county that Mr. Lee is re nominated for Congress this year without opposition—an honor he hns worthily won and richly deserves. And Cedartown is more than glad that Mr. Leo has chosen this as the place for holding the convention,nnd extends a most cordial welcome co him nnd to the delegations from the various counties. It Pays. Money made on land is made by those who have the judgment to buy when times are bad and land is cheap. Things are about at the bottom now. The Lindsey sale next Tuesday will afford a fine chance for a paying in vestment. Gin Notice. I will gin on Tuesdays and Fridays I until further notice. W. C. BERRY, Ake’s Station. FARMERS & MERCHANTS AUCTION Big Sale Tomorrow will Draw Great Crowd to Cedartown. Tomorrow’s the day For the big hooray! You are coming to town tomorrow, Brother Farmer, of course.

You read the big advertisement in The Standard last week and the pos ters telling about the big day, and you just can’t afford to miss it. Cedartown’s live business men are furnishing mny articles to be auc tioned off. There will be no by-bid- ding, but everything will go to the highest bidder for cash. Farmers are invited to bring their products to town, and have them auc tioned in the same way. This plan is proving very popular other places, nnd our Chamber of Commerce believes it will work well here. Besides the auction —nnd auction* are always interesting,—there will b# attractive prizes and entertaining sports. Prizes will be given for the two- horse wagon and the Ford car bring ing the largest crowds to town. A prize is offered to the best hog- caller.

The new high tariff law, passed by a Republican Congress and signed by a Republican President, went into ef fect Friday. It makes many radical changes, and puts Into effect the high est rates in tho history of the coun try. For the first time, Congress haa delegated part of its authority over taxes at the customs houses, confer ring on the President broad power* to increase or decrease rates, and t* chnge from foreign to American valu ation as the basis for assessing ad valorem duties on imports. The Tariff Commission, created during the administration of Presi dent Wilson, will be the agency through which the President will ex ercise his new authority. The Com mission will make extensive investi gations into the cost of production at home and abrond, and will report iha findings with recommendations for rate or valuation changes to the Pres ident.

BONUS BILL LOST The bonus bill, which was passed hy both houses of Congress, was ve toed by President Harding and re passed by the House over his veto. The Senate, however, voted last week to sustain the veto. In the House the Georgia delega tion either voted or were paired to over-ride the veto. In the Senate, Senator W. J. Har. ris was paired to over-ride veto, and Senator Watson was absent. The measure will come before the next Congress, probably with amend ■ ments that will insure its acceptance. Fair at Youngs. The community fair Saturday at Youngs is going to be well worth seeing, and the singing contest will be worth going a long ways to attend. The best of the exhibits will be brought to the County Fair in Cedar town next week. ' * Charter No. II.S3S.
