Cotton seed hulls are cheaper than they have been for some time and you can decrease your fertilizer bill next year by feeding a few cattle this win ter.

There was some The Brooks district school opened Monday morning with fine attendance, with Professor Starr, of Dallas, prin cipal, and Miss Alford, of LaGrange, and Miss Moore, of Newnan, assist ants. . There is considerable acreage be ing sold to wheat and oats this fall— not as much, however, as should he. Rev. W. H. Spier spent Monday night and Tuesday with his niece, Mrs. H. Haisten. He had been in attend ance at the Annual Conference. They have installed a new heater in the Methodist church, which will add much to the comfort of the building during the winter months. As yet we haven’t heard from the conference don’t know what if any changes have been made. Sheriff Kerlin was in our midst short while Saturday. Helmer, Ga. Mr. Dickson, Publisher, Fayetteville News, Dear Sir: How would it look to you to have Senator Wise secure for us an appro priation to build a government post- office for Fayetteville? There are some things coming our way if we only get up a little “spirit”—• say, we name it the “Fayetteville Spir it,” and then keep it alive by moving ahead one “peg” each year. I suggest that Fayette have a bond issue to build a new court house. Of course, we won’t need it till the pres ent one falls down, but that won’t be long; so let’s speculate about it a lit tle now. The present site is not large enough for a court house of modern struc ture and architecture, so let us imag ine on a high rolling piece of ground of more acreage, and then let us pic ture in our minds a modern, fire proof postoffice on one side of this — court house square, and a library on Sixth Grade—Opal Davis, Annie Mae opposite side. ; r . + Uommll A REAL MAN. >»»»»»»<««««<:« It is pretty hard to assert your independence and 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 map 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. When the country makes another big ;rop of cotton somebody will go broke. More than 100,000,000 million people n eastern countries want food. They (vill pay the price and the high prices jf food will make the production of jotton high. It appears to us some improvement n the telephone exchange is needed, ["here is no necessity for you hearing very one in the settlement talk whn •ou use your phone. We need some- hing done. Mrs. Campbell died in Atlatna Tues- ay and was brought to Ebenezer Vednesday for burial. She is surviv- d by . several children, brothers and isters in the county; and was held n high esteem by her ». friends hrougliout the county. Mr. George Mitchell died at his home mr miles southeast of here Saturday id the interment was at the Banks imetery the following day. He is irvived by his wife, one small child, le sister and one brother. NOTICE! All who owe me are urged to come id settle at once. I accommodated u and now I need your help so that can meet my obligations. Yours is st due. Come at once. J. E. TRAVIS. FOR SALE. One sow and seven pigs. Beau- s. Better see them. W. E. SMITH. “We must save in every way pos sible that we may feed ourselves and ouP allies and have on hand a surplus for the starving peoples of the earth.” That is the order sent out just re cently by the federal food adminis tration. Just as soon as German ar mies are cleared away, food will be re quired by the counties which have been robbed by these armies of their food supply. Millions face starvation this winter. If food were abpndanril it could not be sent to them from this country on account of the congested condition of transportation. There must be be tween twenty and sixty million peo ple for whom there appear to be no way to reach them. There are .millions of people today in Serbia, Roumania, parts of Russia and China that are facing actual star vation. These people must be helped next year and the next year. In fact, Mr. Hoover states, that for the next five years following the close of the war, some of the foreign countries will have to be provided with food. This all means that every pig that can be raised to a hundred and fifty pounds next year will find a ready market at a good price. Every fe male hog that does not produce a fam- < ily of pigs next spring has robbed her owner of the price of that little. The litter will not be forthcoming next spring, however, if the mating does not take place this month, and the hog owner who does not make it his busi ness to see that ^his is done and that a pure bred boar is used is cheating himself out ,of a tidy sum of money and wasting much valuable time. The same amount of feed that will care for the sow this winter will take her through carrying a family of pigs. In all probability there will be a premium paid for pigs next spring. There has never been such a bright prospect for big prices. This is ex plained by the fact that the foreign countries which have been at war will have to buy a new stock of hogs to build up a meat supply. Hogs will come first in the line of meat-food animals, for the hog is the only ani- Electric Oranges, mal from which edible meat can be j Prof. J.

Cities are made—they don’t just happen; and unless-we get at the job we will lose some future progress that will want to come our way. One of the great developments to come in the South will be interurban car lines and why not have roads and cities that will attract them? The lands we now own will increase in value, while we live, and double for our children if we lay the foundation now for future culture and refinement of our citizen ship could place our court house in a bunch with nearly all of the court houses of the state, I’m afraid we might not want to claim it. The cost per capita per year on a 30-year bond issue would be so small, we would not know it, and that would give us a modern building to use while we live, and while our children live and give them the privilege of paying their small part. Won’t you please comment upon this subject and let others discuss it and find out if our people would not be agreeable to such an enterprise? We hardly have any idea of our potential wealth anywhere in Am'erica and Fay ette has hardly started to grow. The rich fertile bottoms, our stock raising and grazing lands, our free stone soils for the apple industries, the encouragement we could give to cot ton mills and manufacturing—are un limited. People want to come> where people have prepared ahead of them, besides we need to prepare for our own com fort. Yours truly, S. E. DAVIDSON. CARD OF THANKS.

Goods are continually arriving which we con tracted for months ago and if you will lay in now for your win ter and spring requir- men s your profit will be greater than ours. The demand for hard ware will be greater than the supply. G. & G. HARDWARE CO. |i
