Mr. J. E. Herring of just three
miles above Attapulgus has dis
covered a new wrinkle in the
syrup business that will perhaps
revolutionise the game. He has
been experimenting with the
Texas Ribbon cane and has
made a splendid article of syrup
that he gets on the market as
early as August 15th, Mr. Her
ring finds that it is just as sweet
and makes a much better syrup
even than the well known red-
cane. This year he made about
100 gallons and tried it out
thoroughly. He has sold his en
tire output and found that it
gave the trade satisfaction.

MILLINERY OPENINC 8F
THE LADIES SHOP
The photoplay feature entitled
“The Broken Law,” which was
written and produced by Oscar
C. Apfel for William Fox is one
of the most pretentious and ela
borate offerings that has ever
appeared on the screen. Willi
am Farnum, long celebrated as
a “legitimate” star and more re
cently attracting world-wide at
tention as a “movie” favorite
appears in the favorite role. The
production is big—big in the
theme’ big in talent,, big in sett
ings; it is replete with romance
and situations of dramatic in
tensity and it is presented with
the same fidelity to detail that
characterizes all ot the William
Fox features.
The action takes place in Eng
land, about the year 1850, and
the story concerns itself mainly
with the destinies of Daniel Es
mond (Mr. Farnum); Ursula, a
gypsy girl; Lord Phillip Duncan,
and Isobel Berner, a wealthly
English girl.
Esmond, a novelist, decides to
write a book about the Roman
ies, a band ot gypsies camping
on his estate. On the death of
his father he learns that he has
a half sister who is member of
an unknown gyspy clan. He
He makes a futile search for her
and finally joins a gypsy band
in order to prosecute his quest.
Ip the course of his wander
ings he rescues Isobel from
drowing, and later discovers
that a mutual passion has de
veloped between them. Isobel
however, has been promised
in marriage to Lord Ducan, a
debauchee, whose fortune is on
the wane.
Esmond finally becomes chief
of the clan, but not until he has
vanquished his rival. Gasper.
| Seeking revenge, Caspar accuses
| Esmond of seducing Ursula, a
gypsy girl, who has really been
j wronged by Lord Duncan. Es
mond and Ursula are branded
and whipped from camp.
Rather than marry Lord Dun
can, Isobel flees from home and
goes to the gypsy camp. She is
captured, is taken to the church
to be married to Lord Duncan,
Mi& Eddie Story, of the
Ladies Shop has returned from
the market where she has been
selecting her fall and winter
line of Millinery and Ready to
Wear Ladies goods and she an
nounced her millinery opening
for Thursday and Friday Sept
15th and 16th. Mi96 Story is
beginning her second season
here and her close attention to
business is winning her patron
age and her openings have been
marked with good attendance.
This season she has made an
especial effort to get the best

It is hereby ordered that an
election for five school trustees
will be held at the court house
on Wednesday October, 4, 1916,
said election to be held under
the same rules and regulations
governing other city elections.
Two of said trustees shall be

and three for two years.

BOIFEUILLET MIKES
MAGNIFICENT SPEECH
One of the best speeches ot
the campaigning, was delivered
in Bainbridge Thursday night
in the interest of Governor
Harris by the Hon. John T.
Boifeuillet, Clerk of the House
of Representatives and a pro
minent citizen of Macon, The
gentleman is a perfect master
of the English langauge and he
made votes tor his friend
Governor Harris.
Throwing his speech on the
very highest plane possible Mr.
Boifeuilet gave his hearers the
real treat of the season and gave
them some of the prettiest
thoughts that they have had
offered them in many years. It
was exactly a political speech
but a mo6t masterly literary ef
fort as well as a point indicating
address. Leaving off the usual
harrangue of the stump speaker,
he went well into the details of
the campaign and gave his hear
ers some lines that had not
been presented before. It does
not make any difference whether
one agreed with the speaker or
not as to the man he was ad-
w hen I vancing. All agree that know

Monday night at The Callahan, friend Governor Harris.
The smoke of political battle is
being cleared away and a more
vital matter is taking the atten
tion of the farmers and every
other citizen of Decatur county
right now. Automobiles and live
boosting parties are going out on
every road advertising the South
west Georgia Fair to open up in
the town of Donalsonville, Octo
ber 3rd and last 5 days. Banners
and streamers mark the trail ot
boosting parties and it is thought
that more interest is being dis
played in this Fair than ever
before. It is to be a much larger
and more comprehensive setting
out of the resources of the county
of Decatur in an agricultural
manner. All kinds of amuse
ments, trom a flying machine
down will be there to amuse
those seeking amusement and all
kinds of stock and farm displays
will be there to instruct those
that wish to be instructed. Every
day from 3 to 6 automobiles load
ed with live wires and plenty of
advertising matter are threading
every road with in a radius of
75 miles of Donalsonville trying
to give the folks an idea of just
what a great and Iglorious thing
this Fair is going to be. Every
body knows that when the good
citizens of Donalsonville get to
gether and get down to business
they pull of something worth
while. The people of Bainbridge
are taking great and Masting in
terest in the project as it con
cerns every part of this section,
it shows the outside world just
what is here and what can be ex
pected at this magnificent dis
play. Pamphlets fare being dis
tributed and other advertising
matter that fully set out every
thing that may be looked for..
Beginning right now, boost the
Fair for all you are worth for
every citizen in the county is
interested.

PAPER HAS DOUBLE IN
PRICE IN LAST TWD YEARS
When you have read through
this issue of the paper just take
time enough to let one fact sink
into your active brain. The
paper on which this issue was
printed has cost us approximate
ly double what it oost us two
years ago. The ink we used is
away up in (price. The oil that
keeps the press revolving is up in
price. The power that moves the
machinery is sky high. In fact,
every item of expense is up ir*
the clouds and many are away
above them, and every dollar of
expense means just that amount
of money right out of our pocket.
A great many subscribers are in
arrears on subscription, and we
need that money in order to
meet the rapidly increasing cost
of producing this paper. It is
simply thoughtlessness on your
part, we know, but our own
creditors do not recognize that
word. It don’t go with them for
an instant. Do we get “ours,’’
brother?
