Whatever other reasons may help to ac count for the rapid growth of Douglas, the capi tal of Coffee county, in the last ten years or fifteen years, certainly one reason is the spirit of co-operation that is pleasantly apparent not only in Douglas, but all around it in Coffee coun ty. It has shown itself in the organization of the Country Club, in the planning of exhibits in one of the best fairs ever held in Georgia, in willingness to aid in the bringing of the Al tanvaha, in plans for a SIOO,OOO peanut oil mill, in the trying out of honey-dew melons, in the raising of tobacco, in the trying out of spineless cactus, in the readiness to aid to build a rail- Toad to connect Douglas and Savannah, and in the line favor of hospitality that makes the visitor feel that he is indeed among friends. The list is not complete with these things alone, by any means. It is much longer, and only a visitor with plenty of time—more at least than part of a day—can see and hear all the evi denceof the spirit of “get together” which may l>e said to be the outstanding quality of Douglas send Coffee county people. If there is yet a Savannahian who does not think if worth while to Savannah for May or Pierpont and others to represent the city at the fairs in Savannah’s Zone he would not think so now if he had visited Douglas yester day. The greeting the Savannah delegation received was nothing short of royal. If there was anything the visitors desired they had but to ask for it. Whatever bad influence was ex erted "by Savannah’s undeserved reputation in other days among the people of her great Zone, it is plain that her friends now are about as numerous there as the population. Judge F. W. Dart, president of the Coffee County Fair Association, while introducing the Mayor yes terday to the crowd at the fair grounds spoke of Savannah as the natural leader of South Ga., and assured his hearers that Coffee county people would he glad to follow her leadership enjoyment |jl| as you never thought y could be is yours to fy \m- j f command quick as -,(1 \ 7 y you buy some Prince \kJjjM % Albert and fire-up a ((/V —/- N pipe or a home-made you every tobacco sat- isfection your smoke- *' pP* — ||||liiSif| process that cufs ouf I (jafi / bite and parch!

DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, DEC. 2 1916. in vorK for the mutral welfare of all the peo ple of South Georgia. Inspiring is perhaps the best word to use to describe the Sarannaruans’ visit. It was worth while. It strengthened old friendship and made new’ ones for Savannah. It turned the attention of a very fine people, to Sacannah. It made the Savannahians anxious to visit Doug las again and it was plain that many Douglas people, when facing the choice between visiting some other city and visiting Savannah, will come here. This fact points to the need of bridging the Altamaha with the least possible delay. Douglas is full of automobiles and there are scores of good drivers who know how r to make time on good country roads. If the Alta maha were bridged for automobiles now Doug las cars would be seen in Savannah every day. Douglas has found out that co-operation pays. A hundred men, most of them young in years and all of them young in spirit, have done things and have planned other things, by each contributing small equal sums, that al ready have attracted attention to Douglas and are sure to accelerate its rate of grow’th and its importance as a city. Savannah and Douglas are good friends, far better friends than if a representative Savannah delegation had not at tended the Coffee county fair yftsterc lcl y to meet the people there, and to see a remarkable array of exhibits that included about everything from blooded pigs to fruit cake, from Coffee county tobacco to the model of a school building, this latter work of school boys, and from pomegran ates to fancy work. *** * * DOING HIS DEAD LEVEL BEST. * His ’oss went dead an’ his mule went lame; He lost six cows in a poker game; A hurricane come on a summer day, An’ carried the house w r har’ he lived aw r ay; Then a earthquake come when that v uz gone, An’ sw'allowed the lan, that the house stood on! An’ the tax collector, he come roun’ An charge him up for the hole in the groun’! An’ the city marshal —he coine in view, An’ said he wanted his street tax, too. Did he moan an’ sigh ? Did he set an’ cry, An’ cuss the hurricane sweepin’ by? Did he grieve ihat his friends failed to call When the earthquake came an l ■ Lowed ail? Never a word of blame on top o’ his head! Not him! He dumb to the top o’ the hill— Whar, standing’ room wus left him still— An’ barin’ his head, here’s what he said: “T reckon it’s time to git up an’ git; But, Lord, I hain’t had the measles vie!” —Frank L.
