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.

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. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

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.
