NEXT CO-OPERATIVE
HOG SALE SEPT. 26
OFFICERS of association give
orr RUI.es TO BE OB
SERVED.
File next co-operative hog sale will
h held at the A. C. L. pens on
Tuesday, September the 26th.
The Decatur county live stock as-
icdation announces that all hogs to
SC !(J at this sale will have to be
|is:ed by 3 o'olock Saturday the 23rd.
Officers of the association wish to
impress on the farmers, first, the
importance and the necessity of list
ing hog-. That no hogs will be sold
at these sales that have not been
listed by the closing day.
Second, that as soon as a farmer
has unloaded his hogs in the receiv
ing pens he should go over and stand
ly the weigher and see that the cor-
w t weight, number of head and cor-
Krt grade is entered on his ticket.
Hot that any intentional mistake
wcjld be made, but in case of an or
dinary mistake that is likely to hap
pen with any one.
As these sales are not conducted
for the private profit of any one the
charges are the minimum that will
take care of the expenses of the sales
bat the charge of ten cents a head
has not been enough to meet the ex
penses and the deficit has fallen on
those in charge.
In future, a levy of twenty cents
i head will be placed on each hog
acid. That amount will be sufficient
to the up-keep of the accommodations
Hat have made possible these sales.
It is hoped that the farmers will
jeontinue to co-operate with the of
fers so that it will take only a min
imum amount of time and effort on
Itheii part to make the sales an even
pigger success.
If the responsibility becomes too
rest and there is not suffiient co
pe, ation the present officers will
to resign as their own business
rs suffer when things concerning
sales lag and are not handled
tfftematically and co-operatively.
sales have been good and pro
bable. They have given many ready
msh that they ordinarily would not
ave had. It is the only business like
ay to hanlle a proposition as big

council who stand as a body anxious
to aid the schools and their patrons
and faculty at any time, to those
conditions where there is no natural
water supply and no public schools.
That last year the board of educa
tion received only one complaint and
although Mr. O’Neal stood ready to
take in the complaints, they were not
anticipated any since they were open
ing schools under such favorable cir
cumstances and with such a splendid
faculty of teachers.
Mr. Elcan reported that the U. D.
C. chapter, under the presidency of
Mrs. C. S. Hodges, of Cyrene, would
give a gold medal to the senior class
girl giving at the end of the term the
best report in deportment and class
work..
Mrs. Hodges was instrumental in
obtaining a similar proposition from
the Kiwanis Club for the boys. The
Kiwanis Club then proposes that they
will give to the boy who best serves
his school this term, a fine gold
modal.
Mr. Elcan stated that he had an
nouncements that he could make but
ho would not make them for those he
had made had not been observed.
Mr. Elcan published school regu
lations for the opening but parents
went on with requests up to the last.
Mr. Elean’t position is not fully ap
preciated in the placing of children.
He intends to be impartial and sys
tematic with all children hence he
cannot grant requests that would
seem to be giving partiality. When
it is thoroughly understood that Mr.
Elcan means what he says when he
says it, every one will understand
and there will not be any disappoint
ments. v
It was a wonderful body of chil
dren and a fine group of teachers and
the outlook for this year’s school
success is very promising.

the Virginia Bright Leaf Tobacco,
which is used in the making of pipe
and cigarette toboccos. This tobac
co has been grown for the past four
years in Berrien, Pierce and other
counties in that section with mark
ed success.
Ail interested were consulted in
making this investigation. The farm
ers, merchants and bankers, and all
were unanimous in the opinion that
this industry has put them on a very
sound financial basis.
Believing that Decatur county is
as well suited for the growing of this
tobacco as anywhere in the world, the
Board of Trade at its last meeting
passed a resolution calling a prelim
inary meeting at the Court House
on Monday, September the 25th at
11 o’clock for the purpose of discus

GA. ASSOCIATION
STRONG DELEGATION ATTENDS
TIFTON MEETING TO DIS
CUSS AFFILIATION.
That towns and cities are fighting
competition is evident in the the way
their various clubs and organizations
are going after business.
A day of competition is with us
and the organizations of Bainbridge
are awake to the competitive age. A
committee of strong men left Thurs
day for Tifton to be present at the
meeting of the Georgia Association.
This delegation will discuss the af
filiation of Decatur county with the
Georgia Association so as to par
ticipate in the benefits of advertis
ing for new settlers, many of whom
are arleady in correspondence with
the Georgia Association.
The men going from Decatur coun
ty will pledge their support and will
offer themselves as not only willing
but eager to Berve in any capacity.
No town can thrive without co-op
eration and the help of a live Board
of Trade and organizations. The
competition for some years to come
is going to be greater than it has
ever been before. And it will be the
community with the advantages of
merchants and manufacturers and
farmers of course to offer,that will
soar ahead.
Wc must keep up the co-operative
spirit of the Kiwanis and the Board
of Trade if Bainbridge is to keep up
the record she has set for herself.
