is, however, absolutely true, and if
one farm can produce that amount
of bacon, in all seriousness, is there
any limit to the amount that can
be produced in the several parts of
the county?
There is probably two hundred
thousand pounds marketed m this
city every year, and it Is used solely
for home consumption, and the peo
ple are delighted to be able to get it,
knowing what good meat it is. The

year.
The Jacksonville Times-Un.'r n, dis
cussing the Brooks county exhibit
of a recent date, has the following
interesting comment:
In a recent issue, the Tifton Ga
zette says: "The twenty-two wagon-
loads of home-raised meat which
entered Quitman one day last week
was a sight which should inspire
any true citizen of old Georgia.
There were 45,000 pounds of meat
in the twenty-two wagon loads, and
this is not near all that Is produced
for market in Brooks county in one
year. Last year, ‘ 150,000 pounds
were marketed, and it is believed
that 250.000 pounds will be market
ed this year. Motion pictures were
taken of the wagon-loads of meat,
the weighing and marketing, and
thesa will be shown throughout the
South in a campaign to induce the
farmers to raise their food at home.
Tift county is already in the pro
cession, as the wagon loads of Tift
county raised meat sold here last
Saturday attests."
Brooks county, In which Quitman
is located, has for many years been
known as the best county in Geor
gia from an agricultural standpoint.
It is a border county, being bounded
on the South by Madison and Jef-
fersor counties, in Florida.
South Georgia has been develop
ing much more rapidly than other
parts of the state. There has been
a rapid and at the same time a
healthy growth in the counties on
both sides of the line. What Brooks
county has done, neighboring Geor
gia and Florida counties can do, and
that would leave little more to be

Bl’SIX ESS MEN HAVE COM-
111 XL I) TO MAKE GATHERING
IX MAY A MEMORABLE ONE.
JacksQnville, Fla., March 13.—The
various sub-committees of the Jack
sonville Re-Union Association are at
work perfecting arrangements for
handling the large crowd expected
here May 6 f 7, S, to attend the 24th
Annual Re-Union of the United Con
federates and the 19th Re-union of
the Sons of Veterans.
Adjutant-General Nathan Bedford
Forrest, of Memphis, Tenn., of the
Sons of Confederate Veterans, has
transferred headquarters of that as
sociation from Memphis to this city,
and is organizing a large camp of
Sons here. He is also organizing
camps throughout the entire state,
for the purpose of arousing interest
in the re-union and preserving and
enlarging the Association. Sons of
Veterans in all of the towns and
cities of Florida are actively at work
for the re-union and much enthus
iasm is manifested in the approach
ing meeting in this city.
Good Places of Stay Assured.
The re-union committee charged
with the work of securing homes for
the veterans and visitors has a
force of men in the field canvassing
the city for rooms and board. This
work is under the direction of Wal
ter Hawkins a prominent business
man, and it is being done with sys
tematic care. The reunion asso
ciation realizes that this is one of
the most important departments of
the reunion work, and a good busi
ness man was put at the head of
the committee. The purpose and
desire are to have the accomodations
and assignment divisions, so perfect
that no trouble will be encountered
In getting the veterans and visitors
from the depot to their homes when
they arrive.
Novel Entertainment Provided.
The entertainment committee is
perfecting an attractive program for
the re-unlon week. Max Morgan-
thou, chairman of the regular en
tertainment committee of the Jack
sonville Board of Trade, is chairman
of the re-union entertainment com
mittee also. A prominent enter
tainment feature of the week will be
May Day festivities of public school
children in one of the large parks of
the city. It is the purpose of the
committee to make this feature one
of the greatest school-children spec
tacles ever seen in the Southern
states. In addition to this splendid
feature, there will be many

New York, March 14.—Fifteen
thousand persons will be thrown out

the United 3tates Express Company,
the dissolution of which was decided
upon last night at a meeting of the
board of directors.
The suspension of this express

HISEL WITH SEA-GREEN
■ SHI! HUM
Atlanta, March 13.—A slender
damsel, with sea-green hair tripped
daintily down Peachtree this morn
ing, while the crowd stared In open-
mouthed amazement—-and with some
admiration, for she was pietty.
Her bl\ie eyes had a greenish tone,
and her hat was of the latest "absin
the" shade. Her silken hose, which
peeped out at each step rrom the silt
of a shlmmery clinging skirt, were
of the transparent Nile green silk.
In fact she was a symphony li
green, a human blade of grass. In
fact she was a whole lawn. Freak
ish as the new style Is, her walk
down Peachtree street convinced
lot of folks that some women can be
pretty in anything.
The appearance of the bright-col
ored wig on Atlanta’s streets came
as a surprise, though wigs of purple
pink and green have been shown for
some time In the high class stores
here, to go with elaborate evening
costumeB.
It was predicted that they would
soon be seen with evening toilettes,
but to come right out on the street
In broad daylight with bright green
hair. Well, Atlanta Is no village,
but she did sit up and take notice.
