Are you boosting the county fair?’ ’ The widow and her weeds soon part. Are you a booster or a lame duck? Politics and prohibition make a fine combination, eh? Every day will be a big day at the Butts County Fair. Cotton seed are up. Let ’em skyrocket all they please. Russia’s good intentions seem to be paved with retreats. If you are not boosting the Butts County Fair, why not? September Morn is a June bride, atmospherically speaking. The extra session is limited to fifty days, which is some conso lation. Butts county is going: to have the biggest, booster county fair in Georgia. Wonder what Thomas Bosh Felder charges for being a pro hibitionist? Publicity is the sweetest mor sel ever rolled under the tongue provided it is free. With skirts get ling shorter and shorter the men are “seeing Georgia” right considerably. Jackson should have the best cotton market in Middle Georgia. It helps the merchants and bus iness in general. Jackson is on the route of the next “Seeing Georgia” tour, which will be started from Ma can September 30. Another weekly paper has been launched in Atlanta.

The Sparta Ishmaelite came out last week with a splendid “Booster Edition" of 24 pages. The paper was a credit to Sparta and to Editor Moore. Georgia needs an adequate warehouse law. If this matter is not acted on at the extra ses sion, it should certainly receive attention next summer The business man who wants more business knows he can get it by a vigorous advertising cam paign. A hint to the wise should bring an outpouring of good ad copy. Hundreds and thousands of good Georgians are disgusted with the eternal wrangle over prohibition. Settle the problem and settle it right and stop the everlasting mouthing. Right this way for your tick ets. Tom Loyless of the Augus ta Chronicle is exchanging the time ot day with Editor Watson of the Jeffersonian. Did you say anything about flying fur? A girl named Mary at birth dropped the “y” when she grew up and became May. As she began to shine in society she changed the “y” to an “e” and signed her letters ‘‘Mae.’’ About a year ago she was married and now she has dropped the “e” and is just plain “Ma.” —Meri wether Vindicator. Dont forget that the coming year will probably again be one of high-priced stuffs. Lets prepare now to meet the situation with an immence crop of fall grain, both for fall, winter and spring pasturage and for feed next year. And while we are about it, it is well to remember that in nearly all parts of the South the sooner these crops are sown after September first, the earlier and better the grazing will be. Don’t wait until winter to plant, and then report that “small grains don’t pay in the South.”—The Progressive Farmer.
