Now is the time to prepare for the 1917 fair. Glad the fair is over-prouder still that it was a success. Mr. Blood worth in defeat is as popular as he was in victory. Soon be time to re-elect Wood row Wilson, the great Democrat ic President. Cotton, flour and print paper are having a race to see which reaches the sky first. The big question right now is, will you be ready for the boll weevil when it comes. Butts county ought to have the best fair in Georgia next year. All that is needed is harmony and co-operation. John M. Parker and his Bull Moosers are supporting Wilson for President. So is Thomas A. Edison and so is Henry Ford. The Georgia troops are really going to the border this time. We are betting on the Jackson Rifles to take care of their share of greasers. The common people with their dollar contributions to the Wilson campaign fund must fight Wall Street and its millions. Have you given your dollar yet? Atlanta is having the big $250,- 000 Southeastern fair this week. Butts county boys and girls are well represented in the club work and should win some substantial prizes. I Hon. J. D. Price has been elec-1 ted as director of the Experiment ! Station to succeed Prof. R. J. H. DeLoach, resigned. It is under stood Mr. Price will resign as Commissioner of Agriculture the first of January. The Jackson Progress-Argus continues to grow brighter and better with each issue. This pa per came out with fourteen pa ges last week which we claim is a live and prosperous paper for Jackson. The merchants and citizens of Jackson and Butts county should appreciate this live paper and continue to contrib ute to its upbuilding.—Talbotton New Era. Thanks for your kind words.

We regret that we are unable to take in the exhibition across the Ocmulgee, which, we understand from those who have visited the fair from Monticello and Jasper county, is a splendid success in every way. When Jasper pulls off her fair in 19—we will reciprocate, friend Doyle, by inviting you to ours. — Monticello News. We are sorry you couldn’t be with us, for the fair was splen did. The thing to do is for Jas per, Henry and Monroe to join hands with Butts county and put on a fair next year that will be the biggest thing in Middle Geor gia. Why not a four-county fair with Butts, Jasper, Henry and Monroe counties participating? We have the building and the grounds and the location and would be glad to have our neigh boring counties join us in the fair movement. Let’s have an expression from editors Penn, Fouche and Blood worth along this line. The boll weevil is appearing all around this section. Still you find people who don’t believe there is any such animal. They are due to receive a great eye opening before long A WORD FOR MOTHERS It is a grave mistake for mothers to neg lect tlieir aches ami pains and sutler in silence —this only leads to chronic sick ness and often shortens life. If your work is tiring; if your nerves are excitable: if yon feel languid, weary or depressed, you should know that Scott’s Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.

The freedom and wider range of activity made possible by such a car are worth many times its price. The price is by far the lowest at which so big and fine and comfortable a car ever sold. Big —the wheelbase is 112 inches. THE COUNTY FAIR The Butts County Fair which closed last week was an unquali fied success. A splendid collection of exhib its of the farm, club work, live stock, arts and women’s work were displayed. Though praise worthy, the exhibits should have been much larger. The progress ive, wide-awake farmers of Butts county should see to it that every inch of space is filled with exhib its another year. Considering the odds—politics, cattle ticks, and other things— the fair association made a really remarkable showing. Since the first effort was a financial suc cess, the public in general will be more willing now to lend a helping hand. Temerity has giv en way to confidence. Conser vatively and economically mana ged, the enterprise is a safe in vestment, to say nothing of town and county pride and community loyalty. If the fair is responsi ble for a better order or farming, and promotes interest in the live stock industry, this will be the big gest dividend the enterprise can pay. Without doubt the officers of the association got much exper ience that will be valuable later on. Mistakes, as was to be ex pected. were made, but they were made in an honest and conscien tious etfort to do what they be lieved was right. This year the officers were new in the fair bus iness but today they are seasoned and hardened veterans, wise to many of the ins and outs of the fair game and with experience that will prove invaluable. It is not too much to hope that those who for any cause, real or fancied, withheld their support from the fair this year will be found in the trenches fighting shoulder to shoulder for a bigger and better fair next season. Butts county’s greatest need is to get together. There has been enough politics, petty squabbling and spiteful factionalism to last for years. Forget it and turn to Fine —it’s a beautifully finished, luxurious can Comfortable —it has cantilever springs and 4-inch tires. ( Model 85-6, 35-40 horsepower six cylinder motor, 116-inch wheelbase —$925. Come in today—we can’t get them as fast as we sell them —so order yours right j things worth while. The future of the county fair is in the hands of the people. By harmony, co-operation and a sol id pull together the Butts county fair can be made the equal of any in the South.
