The following list of citizens are
purchasers of Liberty Bonds for the
Fourth Issue. Quite a number of
names have not been turned in as
the committees did not get them com
piled in time. If yours is not here
and you have bought one, it will be
on the next publication. If you have
not bought, why not? This is your
war as \$el! as any one else’s. It is
expected that Farmers of the countn
will take heavily of this issue as they
were somewhat handicapped in the
spring. Many were keenly anxious
take, but having just pitched their
spring crops they were not in posi
tion to take as heavily as they will

list. Be a booster for your country
and your section. PUT YOUR

INTEREST IN ill
CLUB IS GROWING
How Many More Citizens in Decatur
County Will Join This Club and
Buy $100.00 Worth of Stamps
By January 1st, 1918.
The $100.00 War Saving Stamp club,
which was begun through the columns
of this paper several weeks ago, has
been growing since the plan was sug
gested by Mr. Herbert Gaulding.
During the first week six joined this
club and more WO’dd have joined had
it not been for .'ie limited time which
the $100.00 members would have to
purchase, i finish purchasing, their
stamps. R since Mr. Gaulding
suggested 1 plan to Miss Merle Rob
inson, and is going to leave it entirely
with her she has decided to give the
Decatur county people more time in
which to buy their stamps.
Those who are at all informed ns
this county is FAR BEHIND in get
ting up her quota and that it will
take the united efforts of every man,
woman, and child, in the county in
order to meet this quota by Jnnuary
1, 1019. This condition being true,
docs it then make so much difference
WHEN the stamps are bought—just
so they are bought? Do you not
think it a wiser plan to have 500 peo
ple join- the $100.00 club and promise
to buy their stamps by the last of
this your, than to hnvc only twenty-
fivQ join now? It is the money that

New Buildings For Fair at Valdosta
Now Ready For Opening
October 21.
The great buildings for the Geor-
gri a - P lorida Fair are now receiving
the interior touches in preparations
for the opening date, October 21, and
there is every indication that the new
plant will prove very attractive and
convenient to the thousands of
people who will visit the fair this
fall. The new grounds are reached
by street cars and ample car facili
ties have been provided for the ac
commodation of the visitors. There
are also four streets leading from the
center of the city to the grounds.
I he buildings which are now com
pleted are entirely new, erected ac
cording to plans especially prepared
to meet the needs of the Georgia-
Florida Fair. They aro of the mis
sion style of architecture, and every
convenience necessary to the success
ful conduct of the fair will be found
in them. There are large, well lighted
domes, making the interior of the
buildings especially suitable for dis
playing exhibits to the best advan
tage.
The live stock barns are the
largest used for fair purposes in the
state. The Georgia-Florida fair ex
hibits in the live stock line for recent
years have been so much larger than
such displays at other fairR that these
