BUTTS SHftULB HAVE A FLOAT SI,OOO OFFERED 1 Jti! 1 • : Harvest Festival Parade Great Event Atlanta, November 4—Butts county will overlook the most valuable opportunity of the vear for advertising its industries and resources, unless it has represen tation in the Agricultural Day parade and exhibition in Atlanta, Thursday, November, 18. This is the view expressed by the di rectors of the Georgia Harvest Festival association, including prominent citizens from every section of the state. The directors call attention to the fact that the expense is com paratively small and that no en terprising county can afford to stay out. An attractive float can be prepared for S2O or $25, and the counties can put as much more into it as they wish. A special advisory board and executive committe has been ap pointed for Butts county to take up the matter of having it repre sented in the Agricultural Day parade, in which there will be keen competition for the big prize of SI,OOO in gold offered for the best county float, as well as for the other prizes including a num ber of pieces of valuable agricul tural machinery. Counties in every section of the state have already arranged to be represented in this parade and particularly fine showing will be made by northwest Georgia and s uth and southwest Georgia, Whitfield county alone will have 3 or 4 floats in the agricultur al parade. The same is true of Brooks county, while south west Georgia has a special com mittee appointed to look after rep resentation from that section, headed by John H. Mock, of Al bany, as chairman. The flouts ip the jswepde will be judged as follows.: Fifty points for the best artistic eflect, 25 points for the best variety, and 25 points for the best Quality. The details of the parade are in charge of the Ad Men’s club of Atlanta, who are working to the end that it shall be distinctly a Georgia affair represenative of the whole state. It is felt that t is an opportunity for Butts county which it cannot afford to o .erlook. fhc Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head Because of it* tdnic and laxative effect, LAXA TIVE RROMO QUININE is hetterthau ordinary Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor ringping in head.
