BAINBRIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 1922. $1.50 PER ANNUM 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.

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.

Jackson Calif., Sept. 19.—F-rty- seven miners died in the Argonaut the growing, curing and marketing of 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 sing the matter, later meeting where we will have an expert talk to us.

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.

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.
