HALF HOLIDAY FOR JACKSON
BUSINESS HOUSES ASSURED
Wednesday Afternoon Closing
Will Take Effect June Seventh
Beginning June 7th, the stores
and business houses in Jackson
will take a half holiday once a
week during the summer months
of June, July and August.
An agreement to that effect,
signed by a majority of the bus
iness houses, has been made and
attention is called to the adver
tisement in this issue.
This movement was agitated
last year and was discussed at
considerable length, though for
one reason and another the Dlan
was not carried into effect. Re
vived this season, the agitation
for a holiday once a week met
with favor on the part of a large
number of the business houses.
The movement for a half holi
iday, once a week, has been tried
in a large number of towns and
cities in Georgia and has worked
with entire satisfaction. A few
of the cities that observe a half
holiday are Griffin, Covington,
Eastman, Dawson, Thomasville,
and all the larger cities, in addi
tion to scores of towns.
The movement appears to be
country-wide and is in response
to the appeal for rest and recrea
tion and has its foundation in the
fact that “All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.” There is
no doubt that the clerks, cashiers,
salespeople and proprietors them
selves will enjoy and appreciate
a weekly half holiday.
Advocates and supporters of
the plan figure that there is prac
tically no business going on dur
ing the three summer months
and consequently the closing will
not work a hardship on a single
indivual. Shoppers, it is pointed
out, will soon adjust themselves
to the Wednesday afternoon holi
day plan.
The time embraced in the holi
day plan is June 7 to August 30.
Those who have signed the pact
will close up at 1 p. m. every
Wednesday and remain closed the
whole of the afternoon. Drug
stores will open again at 6 p. m.
It is planned to have a winning
baseball team in Jackson and to
make the Wednesday afternoon
'holiday a period of wholesome
and profitable recreation.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining' of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys
tem.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Circulars
free. All Druggists, 76c.

LOCUST GROVE
The 21st commencement of

brilliant end Tuesday night with
the champion debate. The debate
was won by the Philomatheans,
which society also carried off the
silver trophy for general excel
lance and the medal for the bet
ter songs and yells.
Commencement began last Fri
day night with the play, “Better
than Gold," given by Miss Pace’s
expression class. This play was
very ably presented, and is with
out a doubt the best play ever
given at Locust Grove.
The trustees of Lccust Grove
Institute re-elected the full facul

understood that almost without
exception they will return.
During the summer Miss Hettie
Barton will be in Morrow; Miss
Lucy Pace will be in Jackson;
Prof, and Mrs. Claud Gray will
be in Locust Grove; Prof. W. T.

at Locust Grove part of the time;
and Mr. Hulsey Cason will be at
the University of Chicago, Chica

Veterinary Degree Course
Offered at Agricultural Col.
Beginning with the scholastic year
of 1916-17, the Georgia State College
of Agriculture will ofTer a degree
course In Veterinary Medicine lead
ing to the degree D. Vr M. This will
be the first institution to offer such
a degree in Georgia, and is provided
in answer to an increasing demand
within the state for veterinarians. A
number of young men of Georgia have
been compelled to go to other states
to get their veterinary degrees at con
siderable cost which can now be sav
ed by attending a state institution.
The College has a splendid start
in the way of equipment for present
ing the work of a veterinary degree
course. Work in veterinary science
has been offered heretofore, and for
this there has been excellent provi
sion made. Recently one unit of the
veterinary building has been complet
ed which increases the advantages
materially. The veterinary hospital is
quite adequate and well equipped for
the work. The teaching staff is
strong. This new course of the Col
lege of Agriculture is believed to be
in response to a definite demand and,
as a consequence, success is antici
pated. A special announcement of
the course has been issued which can
be obtained upon request.
SHIPPING WATERMELONS.
J. W. Flror, Junior Professor Of Hor
ticulture, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture.
One of the greatest causes of un
satisfactory returns from watermel
ons is the shipping of small and poor
quality melons to markets which can
only be reached with heavy freight
cost. Only high quality melons of
good size should go to such cities. It
is better to keep small melons and
poor quality stuff in general at home
and feed to hogs than to ship to mar
ket and get nothing for them. Water
melon growers will do well to keep
this one fact in mind.
Has A Good Reputation 1
The original and genuine Honey and
Tar cough syrup is Foley’s Honey and
Tar Compound and because this has
given such universal satisfaction arid
cured so many cases of conghs, colds,
croup and whooping cough there are
imitations and substitutes offered to
the public. Insist upon Foley’s The
Owl Pharmacy.
