appreciated addition to our
list. If there’s any more

have them, too. —Walton

Montgomery county, which has
been sliced three times within
the past ten years, is objecting
strenuously to giving up any
more territory to form new coun
ties. This is the right position.
This new county business has
gone far enough and should be
stopped, for the present, at least.
Whenever we remember

barrels of flour per day. The

Fine business, Penn. Come

being converted into flour.
Monroe county wants one coun

The new Baptist church at
Jackson is provided with a
large swimming pool, a gym
nasium and a room for Boy
Scouts. This is one way to
make the church popular

This is a feature that every
modern church should have.
Why not develop the physical,
moral and social life of the men

is the envy of the smaller cities
of Georgia and ranks with the
finest churches in the large cities.

A GREATER FAIR FOR j
BUTTS COUNTY IN 1915
Now that the Dixie highway !
has been located and the Chau
tauqua is over let’s concentrate
our efforts, rally all the forces
and get busy for a bigger and
better county fair. This is some
thing practical, useful and edu
cative. It will benefit the mass
es as well as the classes.
We have our demonstrators
and agents, field and tomato, and
they seem to be diligent, but all
their efforts will be fruitless
without our co-operation. Let’s
stand by them and encourage
them in every possible way.
As to the time, say Oct. 21-23.
This will give time to close out
here just before the state fair in
Macon Oct. 26 to Nov. 5. Then
our exhibits can be taken to the
state fair in Macon. Charge a
small fee to enter your products,
offer liberal premiums and it will
all come back in large dividends
if not in dollars and cents, in
something better in developing
the great resources of our coun
ty and the development of man
hood and womanhood in our boys
and girls.
