Got Furniture
No. 45 was the Lucky Number
Which Was Held by $. /.
Wynne of Cochran.
The handsome suite of furniture
given away last Saturday afternoon
in front of Jackson Furniture Com
pany’s store was won by B. J.
Wynne who held the lucky number.
A few minutes after 3 o’clock the
crowd assembled in front of Jack
son Furniture Company’s store.
Mr. 0. W. Trice was selected to
draw the number from the sealed
box. He came forward, was blind
folded, stirred up the numbers in
the box, and drew out No. 139.
No one in the crowd holding that
number, one of the Journal’s force
was sent to the office for the receipt
book, on which a record of the cou
pons were kept, to see who the
lucky person was. As soon as the
receipt book was examined it was
found that number 139 was can
celled and no one held either the
receipt or coupon. We according
ly ordered that the drawing take
place again. The crowd this time
selected T. S. Vinson. He was
blindfolded and drew out No. 45,
held by B. J. Wynn-.
Some time during Saturday Mr.
I. H. Harville approached the edi
tor of the paper .and said he wanted
to subscribe for the Journal. The
editor, thinking he desired to pay
cash and get a number to the draw
ing, issued him a receipt and gave
him coupon number 139. After
the receipt and coupon was handed
to him he gave them back and said
he was not prepared to pay for
them. No receipts or coupons
were issued to anyone except those
who paid down the cash, as the
sole object of the drawing was to
obtain new cash subscribers and to
collect past due The
editor j of course, took the receipt
and coupon back and marked the
receipt “cancelled.” Through er
ror the cancelled coupon was placed
in the box. The Journal regrets
very much that this error occurred

Boy Corn Clubs
a Great Work
ffttore e Uhan Half the State will
Organize in a Movement of
Untold Value to Every
Section.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 12. —From
present indications more than
half the counties in georgia will
have large and enthusiastic boys
corn clubs organized and in oper
tion this year. Interest among
young agriculturist has spread like
wild fire all over the state,and as a
consequence. J. Phil Campbell, in
charge of the work in this state,
has more to do than he can ueoin
plish.
We desire to call your especial
attention to our celebrated IVORY
Wall Plaster, much superior to
wood ceiling and costs about one
third less. It is practically inde
structible, impervious to fire and
water, and will last as long as the
building.
If you want to save money, come
to us and let us give you an estim
ate on your e,ntire job. We hand
le Galvinized Iron Rooffng of al
kinds; also Vulcanite Asphalt
Rooeng. If you have an old roof
that has outived it’s usefnlness, re
pair it with Vulcanite and save all
the expense of removing the shin
gles. €JWe handle the veay best
mixed paint on the marke, with a
gurantee formelr on each can.
also hrndle Carter’s White Lead,
which needs no reccomendation.
The generous proposition of cong
ressman Gordon Lee, of the sev
enth district made recently, insures
the organization of clubs in every
one of the thirteen counties of his
district. Congressman Lee offered
prizes of twenty-five dollars for the
best yields in each county and to
the boy making the best show
ing in the district a free trip to
Washington with all expenses paid.
Mr. Campbell states that this’
offer lias aroused the keenest inter
est all over the district, and he is
beseiged with petititions to come
and perfect clubs. In Floyd coun
ty, Paul Cooper, one of the wealth
iest and most public-spirited
men in Rome, has offered prizes
aggregating SIOO in this county.
There is a general awakening al
so in the ninth district,which indi
cates that North Georgia hoys do
not intend to let the middle and
soulh Georgia youngsters monopo
lize the glory and honor of advan
cing their state in corn production.
Well informed men believe that
this movement among the boys of
the stat 3 is one of the biggest and
best educative movements ever un
dertaken,and that this work will go
forward toward lifting-Georgia from
its present low standing in corn pro-
Auction per acre. The work of every
boys intensive cultivation is an ob
ject lesson of incalculable benefit not
only to his own sire, but to all the
neighborhood.
Mr. Campbell says he has already
observed strong evidences of this
fact, and the work has only fairly
commenced. A very large number
of counties has seen the value of the
movement, and are taking hold
with vigor and earnestness by offer
ing the boys in such counties sub
stantial rewards for their efforts.
This work is also receiving the
strong and enthusiastic co.operation
and aid of the Farmers’ Union.
Leaders of this organization have
qujekly realized the tremendous ad
vantage of inereasig the corn pro
duction, and they are encouraging
their own boys to enter contests in
all the other counties.
Mr. Campbell will be engaged in
organizing corn clubs in Georgia for
the next few weeks. He will accomp
any the state agricultural train on
its fifty day tour of the state beg
ginniug Feb, loth-, and it is his
intention to organize these clubs
as he travels over the state, in this
way he can reach many communi
ties he might otherwise be compell
ed to pass over.

The enthusiam of Mr. Campbell
in tliis work is an element that
quickly communicates itself to the
boys wherever he goes, and this is
one of the reasons he 1 as succeeded
in so thoroughly arousing the state.
He predicts that close to 1,000 boys
will be competing for corn club
prizes in Georgia in 1911.

ry C. Abbott, YVolfeboro, N. H.,

move about and the pains were ail
gone. This great change in condi
