In this issue will be found an ad. of Sal vet by Fife Mercantile Company. Their sales are increasing on this stock food and they are anxious to have you try it. Sixteen pig club boys raised their pigs at an average of ten and a frac tion cents per pound. They averaged 215 pounds apiece on November 1st. You' know what meat sells Jor today. When you raise your food there is more profit than in cotton at the present prices. Hon. W. E. Beadles has reported all the people on Southside as tear ing down old bams and building new ones. We told you to plant that patch in corn instead of cotton. Mrs. A. F. Griffin executor of the estate of A. F. Griffin, deceased, will sell at the homestead of the late A. F. Griffin, four miles west of Fayette ville, three good mules, fodder, corn and all the personal property belong ing to said deceased. Emmett Holt led in the Com Club work this year. He made sixty-four bushels and sixty-five pounds. It does seem if a boy can produce this much corn would be a profitable crop in this section and will not take half the labor. The Georgia Baptist Convention will meet at Macon on the 10th, 11th and 12th of this month instead of in Forsyth. Hon. J. W. Wise left for Washing ton this keek to assume his duties during the present session of con- greoa. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Henderson of Clayton county were the gue*sts of Mr. and Mrs. C.

I don’t see how any man can do without his county paper. Yours very respectfully, J. M. SMITH. Fairburn, Ga„ Route 3. FROM W. S. S. PUBLICITY COMMITTEE, ATLANTA, GA. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 5—The war is over, but the big ball which America wound up to win the war must be un wound just as slowly and carefully and at just as great a cost. The money which it. took to put our boys in France and to pay the other vast ex penses of prosecuting the war, was not more necessary than the sums it will take to bring them back again and transfer the nation to a peace ba sis. Therefore it was announced here today that the campaign for the sale of War Savings Stamps and the re demption of War Savings Stamps pledges will be prosecuted more vig orously than ever in Georgia. In this connection, a plan, hard business light to the situation was pointed out which the people of Georgia will do well to note. “The government right this minute is deciding the question of whether to raise the money it needs by taxa tion or by trying to sell government securities,’’ said a leader of the War Savings Stamps organization todayi “The big moneyed interests of the na tion have shown that they favor the latter method by buying up every is sue of Liberty Bonds. The people now are answering in the matter of War Savings Stamps. The man who buys them says: ‘I don’t want to be taxed. I want to help pay for this war by putting my money in govern ment securities which will pay me back dollar for dollar at a good rate of interest.’ The man who fails to purchase War Savings Stamps is say ing: ‘I do not like this method. I pre fer taxation, even if it takes my sav ings for the next seven years.’ And as surely as the war is won, it will take the savings of all the people in America for the next- seven, years if they vote for taxation instead of pur chasing the'splendid securities in War Savings Stamps that are offered them.’’ PIGS BEAT COTTON MAKING MONEY. In April of 1917, the Fourth Na tional Bank of Macon, to encourage the growing of more and better hogs, offered .to 'sell to farmers pure-bred hogs at cost plus 6% for 12 months. There were 75 head sold as a result of this offer; Among others who took advantage of this chance to get some good stock cheap was C. B. Dennard, living out on R. 1’. D. 3. He bouhgt a Duroc- Jersey bred gilt for $35.00. On March 21, 1917, she farrowed the first litter of six pigs. He sold two of them for $25.00 each and fattened the other four for meat, whicli gave him > 800 pounds worth $120.00. The second litter consisted of seven pigs, which he sold for $625.00. ; The third litter consisted of eight pigs. He sold the mother and six pigs for $400.00, reserving two of the best for his own use. Tire cost of the bred gilt was $35.00, and the interest on his note was $2.10. The total income derived from the investment during a period of nine teen months was $1,325.00. This is an unusual case. In fact, it is one of a very few banks in the state willing to loan money on hogs, and especially at 6%. Up in Iowa, where the raising of nine million hogs makes it the leading ffog state, banks will loan on cattle, horses and hogs about as quick as on real estate. Georgia produces about three mil lion hogs, and is a better state to raise hogs in than Iowa. If Georgia is ever to become a big hog producing state, the men who have money to loan will have to follow the example set by the Macon bank. There is no doubt but that hog raising beats cot ton making money. CARD OF THANKS. We desire to thank the good neigh bors and friends for their kindness and good deeds shown us during the ill ness and death of our dear father and husband. Especially do we thank Drs. Gibson, Foster and Walice for their faithfulness. May God’s richest bless ings rest and abide with all, is our prayer. MRS. A. V. KENT AND CHILDREN. NOTICE! All who owe me are urged to come and settle at once. I accommodated you and now I need your help so that l can meet my obligations. Yours is past due. Come at once. J. E. TRAVIS. IN MEMORY OF LITTLE MASON BANKS. The Four-Year-Old Son Of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Banks. God, in His mysterious way, lias sent His angel and broken the chain of the little twins of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Banks, and placed it in heaven, for us to one by one join together again, not an earthly chain, but a heavenly one. It was so sad and so strange why God took the one that seemed to us was most needed, but God makes no mistakes. We jeannot understand here, but sobe day we shall under stand. He told his mother that he was going to die and for her not to cry. He told his brothers and sisters not to cry. But oh, ljow sad it was to give him up. But oh, how sweet to think of having angels to beckon us to come higher. And God plainly tells us in His Word that children are the very light and kingdom of heaven. So we will be submissive to Hte will as we can. God never puts more on us than we can bear. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Precious Mason, he has left us— Left us, yes, forevermore; But we hope to meet our loved ones On that bright and happy shore. Lonely the house and sad the hours Since our dear Mason has gone; But, oh! a brighter home than ours In heaven is now his home. His sister, MYRTICE BANKS. HONOR ROLL—FAYETTEVILLE SCHOOL.

The roof is leak- : ing and many other repairs are needed. A REAL MAN. It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you hav& 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 nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. »»>•»»»>«;«««««« BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE.
