INSTALL NEW MILL

MANAGER OF VIENNA CROCERY
COMPANY TO OPERATE CORN
AND FEED MILL.
Mr. Raymond Davis, the enterpris
ing manager of the Vienna Grocery
Co., has recently been to Atlanta
% where he bought a completely new
corn and feed milling outfit which he
expects to install and have ready for
operation in this city in the immediate
future. The wooden building located
between the B. D. Bryan Warehouse
and Kirkland’s shop will be worked
over by the'owner, Mr. Vaughn, for
the accomodation of the mill. Mr.
Davis has had years of practical ex
perience in the milling business and
was therefore well able to select just
such machinery as will fill the require
ments of the conditions in this locality.
The machinery he has bought will
s take care of the velvet bean, corn
a iii the shuck and all small grains, all
* ' of which are made more valuable as
feedstuff by the process of grinding.
He will also have a New Meadows
corn mill, which is the very best and
most improved method for converting
corn into meal for eating purposes.
The most advantageous feature of
this mill Is its capacity for eliminating
the weevil which under the old pro
cess is ground in'quantities into'the
meal. Mr. Davis announces that ho

COUNTY CANNING CLUB
TO HAVE BIG EXHIBIT
Plans are now going forward rapid
ly for the annual show of Dooly pro
ducts which has been set for Friday
and Saturday, October 27th and 28th.
Mr. Walton, the president of the as
sociation has experienced no difficul
ty in obtaining funds to finance the
affair. As a result of the splendid
prosperity and spirit of optimism that
prevails, the public is responding
very liberally with its means in order
to assist in making a cause so worthy
a success.
The premium books are now being
made ready as rapidly as possible and
will be issued to the public in the near
future. As a precursor to the Fair
a big booster parade is being planned
which will be designated as the Pros
perity Parade. The date x>f this has
not yet been decided upon but. all
who are interested in the fair are in
vited to join this parade and spend
the day visiting the different towns
and schools of the county in the inter
est of the fair.
The Fair is to iqelude many excel
lent features. There will be a parade
both days. The floats of merchants
organizations and individuals are

V One of the chief things of interest at the County Fair next
\ 'aionth will be the exhibit of he Dooly Canning Club. Miss
Leta Wood, the agent has been actively at work the entire year
in an effort to make the finished work creditable to herself, her
members and the county, and she has succeeded far beyond the
expectations of those who have been watching with interest the
progress of her work. She will not only have the distinction of
finishing with one of the largest memberships of any club in the
state, but she also has to her credit the leadership of a club
which has done most excellent work. Miss Wood is to be con
gratulated upon the dilligence with which she has pursued her
work and the splendid results are a source of pride to her and
all others who know the value of the canning club work. She is
now entering very enthusiastically in the work of making the
canners’ exhibit a success, and also providing a day of real
pleasure for the members of the organization.
On one of the fair days these canning club girls will be Miss
Wood’s guests for the day. A barbecue dinner will be served

within three weeks and plans to give
demonstrations with it during the

business and will be open for business
all the time.
OPPOSITION NOT FAVORED
FOR JUDGE GILBERT
Atlanta, Ga., Oct—The suggestion of
opposition to Judge Price Gilbert in
the general election does not seem to
be meeting with favor, judging by
expressions of lawyers, public men
and newspapers over the state. Fol
lowing the death of Judge Joseph
_ Ta'mpVi* at the state supreme
4-court Governor Harris appointed
. Judge Price Gilbert of Columbus to
' serve until the next general election,
which was the limit allowed the gov
ernor by law. The vacancy caused by
Judge Lumpkin’s death came too late
or a successor to be nominated in the
primary. There was some talk of the
recent Macon convention nominating
• a successor, to be voted on in the gen
6ral election, but the convention de
cided not to drag the supreme court
into politics, notwithstanding the fact
that Judge Gilbert was an appointee
of the defeated governor and had been
\ a supporter of the defeated governor
GOVERNOR-ELECT SAYS
NO LIMELIGHT FOR HIM
Atlanta, Ga., Oct—“No limelight
| fer me until I’m inaugurated” is the
policy just announced by Hugh M.
Dorsey, governor-elect of Georgia,,
who has received so many invitations
to speak at various gatherings, and
to make other public appearances,
that He was forced to make a choice
between devoting practically all his
\ time to these invitations on the one
hand, or to his private affairs on the
ether. Mr. Dorsey takes the position
that Governor Harris is still the head
of the state government and there-
; f^re the state’s official representative
to d he does not care to assume a con
; bpicious position in the public eye un
til after his inauguration next June.
Another Old Citizen Passes Away.
Mr. Charlie Reynolds, one of the
oldest citizens of the county passed
t away at his home in Pinehurst after
a severe illness of several weeks. Sur-
/iving him are his wife and seven
^-’children, five daughters and two sons,
Mrs. J. L. Peavy, Jr., Mrs. T. L. Rob

Haslam, and Miss Ida Reynolds, all of

augmented by the agricultural floats,
A special effort will b6 made to make
this feature of it worthy as there Is
a chance that Mr. Taylor, manager
qf the Dixie Theater, who is always
in line with the progressives, will have
a man on hand to get the pictures of
Dooly on the move.
The privilege to sell cold drinks and
lunches was bought by Mr. J. C. Good-
rum and Col. L. L. Woodward and
these gentlemen promise to see that
there will be plenty of the things to
satisfy the inner man on hand for the
convenience of the fair visitors. In
terest is increasing with each day and
nothing is needed now but the coop
erated effort of the .people , of the
county during the remaining short in
terval before the appointed time
which will have to be crowded with
systematic, hard work in order to
make the occasion a creditable one.

J. B. Walton, Pres.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
Realizing that the ladies’ help is
very necessary to the success of our
Fair, and wishing to ask their hearty
cooperation in making this, our sec
ond annual fair, equal to any county
fair held in the state this fall, I take
this method of bringing the matter to
their attention as it will be impossible
for me to visit all parts of the coun
ty in person.
I would also urge every citizen in
Dooly to prepare and bring the best

izens our county has.

not given us every year, so let’s come
together and make this county fair an
occasion of general rejoicing and a
“Prosperity Show” to be proud of—

WRITES OF WEEVIL
s
. PLEA FOR PREPAREDNESS
AGAINST THE DESTRUCTIVE
PEST.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct.—Mayor J. Gor
don Jones, of Cordele, says unless the
question of removal of the capital of
Georgia can be settled next year, there
is a way to bring about a settlement
of it that may not be so entirely sat-
isfactory as it might be otherwise,
but which “will put an end to this
fight over the thing.”
“Now the situation has reached the
point,” he says, “where in the interest
of development and a satisfied state of
tho public mind in the lower part of
tl.e state something has got to be done
tn end it all.
“If the capital removal proposition
isn’t settled, and South Georgia can’t
get what’s coming to her, then the
movement will be earnestly put on
foot in that part of the state—and
when we start it, I’ll tell you, wo are
going through with it—to cut the
state of Georgia in half and make an-
cther state out of South Georgia,
with Cordele as the capital of the new
state.

The boll weevil is with us. It may
prove a blessing or it may ruin this
country. We are now in the/ midst
of prosperity and plenty. What will
be our condition two to five years
hence? This pest has brought pov
erty and suffering to many sections of
these United States in the cotton
growing districts. We, Dooly County
folks live in the best section of the
world. Our lands are naturally
adapted to the growth of cotton and
we all know it is our main money crop.
If we prepare for the boll weevil,
whicR we must do, there is no reason
why this country should suffer. Let’s
get ready for It. This fall when your
cotton is gathered, get busy, gather
your stalks together and bum them.
Burn out all your hedges and all fence
rows. If you have not time to dig
your stumps, be sure that all of thc&n
are burned around during the winter
aeaspn. After frost has fallen and
the undergrowth has become dry, bum
out every nook and comer on your
place and adjacent to your place
where the boll weevil can hide for tho
winter. Don’t leave any place where
they can safely hibernate. If you de
stroy their hiding place you can de
stroy the weevil.
If the above suggestions are faith,
fully carried out by the farmers of
this county, there is no earthly reason
hy we should'not raise a normal cot
ton crop in the year 1917. ■ However,
It be doubly sure, we want to plant
something else besides cotton. This
fall sow enough wheat to furnish
your place and all your hands with
Tour. Sow a goodly portion of your
lands in oats. Next spring make up
your mind that you arc not going to
plant mucji cotton, not over ten acres
to the plow. Flant it early, fertilize
it well, work it fRst and mature it be-
■fore time forthe boll weevil to appear
then wntch your cotton as It grows
and destroy all the bugs found, be
cause our scientists say that when
you destroy a pair of these pests in
the early spring you have thereby pre
vented millions from coming to de
stroy your cotton. It is said that a pair
will multiply into the millions in the
course of a summer season. If you
not now raising enough com to
supply your place, be sure that you
plant enough next year. Get some
hogs and give them the same attention
you do your cotton.and Mr. Farmer
you will not need much cotton. If
the vast sums of money which have
been sent from the State of Georgia
for corn, oats, wheat, hay and meal,
were in the banks of this state today
all of their vaults would be overflow
ing. Millions and millions of dollars
annualy go out of this state for the
above mentioned things, when as n
matter of fact, we should raise some
of all of these articles right here in
Georgia to sell to other people. If wc
raise our foodstuffs at home we will
not need muih money or much cot
ton, and a small crop of cotton brings
just as much as a large crop. Has not
the year 1916 clearly demonstrited
that fact? Why uae up our lands in
n.aking a big crop to seJJ at a small
price?
Tho above suggestions are made
for your consideration, and if follow
ed by the farmers of Dooly County,
we will have not only the best county
in Georgia, but the best county in the
United States.
Consider them well, because if we
do not prepare we will certainly suf
fer.
