The fair is for you. Are you
for the fair?
Business is what you make it.
How’s your business?
A triple alliance that’s hard to

Seems that Gypsy Smit h didn’t
complete the work of cleaning up
Macon.
The city council of Barnesville
proposes to put a tax of $250 on

The Russians have captured

is getting pretty soft.
You should be worth as much

Messrs. Harris and Hardman
ought to beg. buy or borrow some
ginger to install into that cam
paign.
With leap year and woman’s
gutTrage on the schedule this
ought to be a good year for the
ladies.
A few more legal hangings will
have a wholesome effect in re
ducing the number of illegal
lynchings.
A whiskey soaked old sot in a
community is the best argument
that can be used in favor of pro
hibition.
The state executive committee
talked a lots about punishing the
"traitors” of the party, but it all
ended in talk.
The LaGrange Reporter sug
gests Thos. S. Felder, of Macon,
as a candidate for governor. He
is a mighty good man.
A fool is bad enough under any
conditions. Mix in some mean
liquor and a pistol and the devil
usually breaks loose.
The weekly editors who meet j
in annual convention in Decatur
are going to Savannah in search
of moisture, of course.
Now is the time to get in line
for the Butts county fair. There
fe a part for every man and ev

What some politicians ought to

The Macon tragedy, where a
drink-crazed fiend shot to death
an innocent young w’oman. will
do more to clean up that city than

It seems pretty well establish
jed that Jackson needs a co-oper
j ative creamery. Who will take
the lead in organizing this indus
try?
So Macon gets the next state
convention. Here’s hoping it
will he tamer than the rough
house convention held there in
1914,
When it comes to raising corn
Butts county not only led Geor
gia but the entire country last
year. And what’s more, Butts
county can do it again.
Now that President Wilson has
been endorsed by the Georgia
Weekly Press Association and the
state executive committee he
ought to carry Georgia in a walk.
Dr. L. G. Hardman, candidate
for governor, is one of Georgia’s
leading citizens and Butts countv
voters were glad to have an op
portunity of hearing his address
Tuesday.
If the average newspaper were
as close-fisted with their boosts
and went about seeking a price
for their enterpise as some citi
zens, there’s many a city and
countv that would never be heard
from ten miles from home.
It is impossible to drive a
half mile in any direction in
Georgia now without striking
a candidate or having one
strike you. —Savannah Press.
What is the row about? Can
didates ought to be careful how
they strike.
The citizens of Butts county
should do all possible to encour
age the colored race in their ef
forts to have a fair in Jackson
this fall. A chain is no stronger
than its weakest link, and the
colored farmer needs the lessons
of stock raising and crop diversi
fication most of all.
lii the event that Candi
date Hardman accepts Gov
ernor Harris’ invitation fora
joint debate, what will they
discuss? What’s the issue in
this gubernatorial race, any
way?—Augusta Chronicle.
They’ll discuss their records,
of course. The issue is one of |
brotherly love and prohibition—!
with the prohibition issue already
settled.

An Arkansas paper, notes The
Henry County Weekly, recently
inserted the following paragraph
in its local columns:
"If the young man who was
seen kissing his best girl last
Sunday will subscribe for this
paper before next press day
nothing more will be said
about it.”
The result was that the editor
took in one thousand new sub
scribers. Come in. boys, the wa
ter’s fine.

If tongue is coated, breath

If your little one is out-of-sorts,

breath bad or has stomach-ache,
'diarrhoea, sore throat, full of
cold, give a teaspoonful of “Cal

few hours all the constipated poi
son, undigested food and sour
bile gently moves out of its little
bowels without griping, and you
have a well, playful child again.
Mothers can rest easy after
giving this harmless “fruit laxa

cleanse the little one’s liver and

Beware of counterfeit fig syr

50-cent bottle of “California

Sprup Company.” adv
In the following words The
Barnesville News-Gazette comes
pretty near sizing up the situa
tion correctly:
The past year completely
demonstrated that diversifi
cation for the farmer was the
only true plan for farming,
best for the farmer and every
other interest in the cotton
section. The farmers of Geor
gia and the South should not
depend on the one crop of
cotton for prosperity, for that
is not best for the individual
farmer or the agricultural in
terests as a whole. The plan
for every farmer is to raise
everything he possibly can on
his farm for his own use and
then make every bale of cot
ton he can.
