Mr. Paul Ellington presented us with a box of apples recently from trees he sprayed only twice this yeax\ He believes this work payed him more than almost any done on his farm.

The Womans Missionary Union will meet in Atlanta at the First Baptist Church, November 19. The first ses sion will be held at 3 o’clock, p. m.. and there will be two session on Wednesday, the 20th. ^ Mr. Frank Travis has accepted a position as cashier at .Nashville, Geor gia, and will move there on November 25. He has been with Farmers and Merchants Bank as assistant cashier almost since its organization. The •stockholders arid customers regret to see him leave, but feel sure he will make good, as he has done at home. Many have been saddened, we know, but all should rejoice that the war is over and our county had some part. More than three hundred boys have been drafted fi-om our litle county. Evei-y draft call was answered. Our county was represented in almost ev ery branch of the Army and Navy. Some were in the trenches, some on the firing line, some were on vessels destroyed by submarines. All, we be lieve, did their part. We are filled with joy when we think of how well they have been cared for and so few casualties. Those to date are as fol lows: Jones of near The Rock died at home on furlough; Emory Haisten, one of the first select men, received a slight wound, but is improving; Fer- rold Sams of Woolsey, severe wound in aim, but improving at a hospital in France; two negroes died of disease in camp. 0,uglit. not we to be grateful to God for His goodness to the boys? For Sale or Rent. I have fifty acres of good land three miles from Fayetteville on good road that I will sell or rent. Come to see me. MISS NOLEE DORSEY. EAST SIDE. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Murphy and son, Lewis, of Griffin, and Messrs. G. M. and E. E. Murphy and families, of Atlanta, celebrated W. T. Murphy’s 44th birthday on last Sunday by vis iting and taking dinner with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Murphy in East Side. Mrs. E. B. Holt and daughters, Misses Frankie and Lois, motored to Atlanta last Monday on a shopping expedition. Mrs. C. C. Norton spent Monday and Tuesday in Atlanta. Now peace is declared and hostil ities have ceased in France. Your Uncle Prunes is at a loss! to know what to talk about when lie gets up at George Thomson’s store. George says lie guesses we can talk about slackers. Well, perhaps, we can, until some other kind of excitement springs up. George takes a pride in believ ing he beat anyone else in guessing when Germany would squeal. We might feel sorry for old Bill Kaiser if he was any of our kin, or even if he was distantly related to our dog, but as lie is in neither way connected, we do not lose any sleep on account of his troubles, knowing he brought it on himself. P. S. We want to say hurrah for Uncle Sam’s boys for we believe they turned the trick. Whereas, it is important in all times that the boys and girls of the state should be properly trained for life and more than ever should this be em- {Cj phasized at present; and, Whereas, the president of the United States has urged that our youth should not have less opportunity for educa tion because, of ,the war and advises that the people give generous support to the schools; Therefore, I, Hugh M. Dorsey, Gov ernor of the State of Georgia, do, by this, my Proclamation, name the Twenty-fourth day of November, Nine teen Hundred and Eighteen, as EDUCATIONAL SUNDAY and ask the Ministers of this State on that day to call attention in their dis courses to the importance of educa tion and to the desirability of enroll ing every child of school age in school during the present term. Let the epi demic and the war serve not to di minisli our interest in this work and itsf maintenance, but rather to cause us to resolve that our children shall have the training which is so much more necessary than ever before, in order to properly fulfill the duties of citizenship. This October 19, 1918. (Signed HUGH M. DORSEY, Governor. THE DEMONSTRATION WORK. CORINTH. Mr. J. H. Massengale of near Myson has ten in family and was one of the •first in the county to buy $20 worth of war savings stamps for each mem ber of his family. He also bought Liberty bonds for each member of his family and each member of the fam ily has contributed to the Red Cross. There are others that' did the same, but you find but few with ten in fam ily that were more willing than Mr. Massengale. Those to contribute to the Red Cross this week were. Miss G. S. •Banks, Ellis Whatley, Rube Whatley, Herman Whatley, Berry Whatley, Janie Whatley, Mrs. T. J. Nations, Mrs. G. W. Lynch, Lewis Lynch, F. H. Dunn, James Massengale, Robie Lynch, Sam Whatley, Sarah Mat thews, Mary Matthews, Florence Whatley, I. B. 'Cobb, Ramond and Isaac Cobb, Walter and John What ley, Mrs. J. H.

Our Sunday school is progressing nicely. There have been several cases of influenza in our community for the past week or two. The farmers through this section are about through picking cotton. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. McElroy of At lanta spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Orr. Miss Lorah Allen has returned to Atlanta after having spent some time with homefolks. Mr. W. T. Simpson spent Saturday I am now trying to collect the re ports and close my first year in the Demonstration work. I wish to thank every one that supported me and the work in any way. I have given you my time and best efforts. I hope to have more than 100 members of the boys’ clubs to make repoi’ts of {.heir work. I like the work and want to do more next year. I want to see a good home orchard at every home in the county and the trees well cai’ed for and sprayed, whether you are a landloi’d or tenant. All like fruit. I want to see a good potato patch at every home next year and a stor age house in every community. There were potatoes enough rotted last sea son to have built one in every com munity. I want every boy of the club ages to join one of the clubs and produce something. If he makes a good mem ber it. teaches him l’eading, spelling, writing,..-language and arithmetic in a practicable way. It gives him em ployment and as sure as you live, it is not. best to l’aise a boy in idleness. Give him a chance to do better than you. You can put him in the wheat, corn, cow pea, calf, pig or what he likes best. Send him to school, but teach bin*} to grow something. If the farmers of any community want to try any crop or farm in any legitimate way, I will be glad to meet with them. Many families do not own a cow, and yet we learn in infancy that milk is one of the best foods; we have too many one gallon cows. They are not profitable. We want to improve these and, by a few farmers co-operating and working together, the milk and but ter yield in the community can be dou bled with the next generation of cows, and you will be well paid for the in vestment. I am glad there will be pigs enough in the county for meat next, year, and no carloads will have to be shipped from South Georgia and Alabama. If you don’t find one report to me. Those who are growing beef cattle claim it. is profitable and you can try that. It would at least make your land better and reduce ’the fertilizer bills.- Fence you a pasture and sod it in grass and clover. Pasture is the prof it. in cattle or hogs. The Department of Agriculture at A REAL MAN. »»»»»»«««<<«« It is pretty hard to assert your independence #nd defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood, The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing until you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. >•»»•»>»•»<<««:<«««: BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. YOUR in Atlanta. Mr. W. T.
