VOLUME 4, NO. 44
MR. GEO. W. GILES DOES
SOME FINE FARMING
Mr. George \Y. Giles, oi near
Auburn, is one of Barrow Coun
ty’s best farmers and lias always
made money because be adopted
the plan when first starting out in
life to make more than enough of
everything that it took to have a
farm that was self-sustaining.
Me rotates his crops and never
fails to make enough wheat, oats,
and corn to have some to spare
and more hogs than was required
for home consumption.
He has brought his land up to a
high state of cultivation by this
method and this year has a field
in cotton of 35 acres from which
he will get 35 bales.
This is fine farming for a year
like this and shows what Barrow
County’s land will do if judicious
ly managed. Had it not been for
the recent heavy rains and wind
the probability is he would have
gotten 40 bales from this 35 acres.
SHOULD FEEL THANKFUL.
There never was a time when
the farmers of this section of
■deorgia should feel more thank
ful than now.
Everything that can he grown
on a farm is bringing a good price
and the man who would complain
because he cannot make a living
should feel like going out and
kicking himself.
Cotton continues to advance in
price and two bags of cotton "will
bring about as much as eight
bales brought a few years ago.
•Mr. \Y. B. Patrick, one of our
prosperous farmers sold last week
eight bales of 1 1 is last year’s crop
receiving for it SI6OO. A few
ypars back he would have done
well to have gotten S4OO for them
AYe should all feel thankful that
the farmers are coining into their
own, those who farm right arc
having large bank accounts.

the customers and public general

ed stock again of clothing, hats
and gents furnishing and also
Christmas goods in great varities
and quantities.

made a more wonderful success
and built up a larger and more
permanent trade.
The grow th of this firm has been
marvelous and continues to en-

Anything that can he found in
the largest department store in
Atlanta can be found in this store

ous growth in volumn of business
of the J. T. Strange Cos.
Mr. Strange will spend a week
or more in New York and buy in
sufficient quantities to supply the
tastes and needs of the hundreds
of customers who will visit this

THE WINDER COTTON
COMPRESS
The Winder Compress is rushed
to its full capacity and the whole
earth around it for several hun

hales.
This is one of our big enterpris

city.
Some were skeptical as to the
advisability of business men
building a compress here, think
ing the territory was to small to
make it profitable.
If these skeptics will visit the
compress they will lie astonished
and find out they were mistaken
in their business judgement.

by Mr. T. S. Johnson, has proven
a great sueeess, and one here tin
der the management of Mr. If. K.
Blakey would prove equally as
successful
The present farmers warehouse
here under Mr. Blakey’s supervi
sion has accomplished more than
most persons ever dreamed of.

ad untiring efforts.
