This is the season when the superior courts
begin to get rid of their fall crop of liquor vio
altors, says the Savannah Press.

Somebody knew something about a fair
when they promoted the present Coffee County
Fair. It will be a success, and it didn’t just
happen so.
o
The government forecast for the tobacco
crop this year indicates that it will be 80,482,-
000 pounds below last year, due largely to ex
cessive trains.
o
Poor Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is in the lime
light again. This time a Chicago dentist has
attached her clothing, jewelry and wages for a
dental bill amounting to $350.

State politics is a thing of the past for at
least two years. The next politics scheduled in
which Douglas people will be interested is the
approaching mayor’s race in December.
o
“Peaches” and the “Cinderilla Man” are
getting a lot of the front page nowadays. It
takes news of very little importance sometimes
to rank with the big stuff usually considered
worthy of the front page.
o
New’ York City uses $60,000,000 worth of
chickens a year. The Jews of the city are the
largest consumers, the kosher trade taking a
bout three-fourths of the total supply. The
fowls are killed by the Jewish rabbis, who do it
in a way to get rid of the blood in the quickest
possible manner.
o
Just to be the first to tell you about it this
year, here is a bit of advice—“Do your Christ
mas shopping early.” Perhaps it seems un
timely. Look at your calendar. Count the
days. You’ll find there are fewer number of
shopping days before Christmas than you im
agined. It isn’t too early to start on the home
made things.
o
.Judge J. P. Knight, of the Alapaha circuit,
is spending the week in the city, presiding over
the criminal division of the Coffee superior
court in the absence of Judge Harry Reed, who
is engaged in official duties in Augusta. Judge
Knight has not been on the bench long but he
presides like a veteran, and our people in gen
eral are pleased with the way he handles a
court. We hope to have him with us again.

THE FAIR A SUCCESS.
From all indications the Coffee County Fair
is going to be a Irem-rdouc succs- \ The crowds
have been satisfactory, the weather perfect.
Then the amusements are above the average,
and all w’ho visit the fair express themselves as
being perfectly delighted with the instruction
and entertainment received.
Every county should promote a fair some
time during each year. They have always prov
en to be institutions of great benefit to the
county at large, that is, when they are clean and
there is cooperation in the matter of exhibits.
This can be applied to the present Coffee Coun
ty Fair. It is above the average county fair
and is going to be a big advertisement for this
part of the state.
There are a few remaining days of the fair,
and if you have not visited the Fair yet, w’e urge
you to come to Douglas and spend a few hours
looking over the exhibits, then pass out into the
carnival department and be entertained for the
remainder of the time. It will be a small effort
well spent, and you will never have cause to re
gret it.
o
The Enterprise w’ill publish next week a
complete list of all premiums given. Watch for
it.
o
The McClelland School won first prize for
school exhibits, with Rocky Pond second. The
Enterprise offers congratulations.
o
School Children’s Day at the Fair was the
big feature of the week. The parade formed a
line from the city school building almost to the
Fair grounds.
o
We want to congratulate the Nicholls dis
trict in winning the first prize for district ex
hibits. West Green came second, Douglas
third, Broxton fourth, Mora fifth, and Ambrose
sixth.
o
Much credit goes to A. S. Bussey, county
agent, for the success of the Coffee County
Fair, as well as Miss Buchan, home demonstra
tion agent. These two people worked hard for
many weeks for the success now’ at hand.
o
The Woman’s Club and the P.-T. A., tw r o or
ganizations w’orth w’hile in Douglas, have begun
their work for the New Year, and with the plans
outlined for another club year, the are
going to make things happen that will count for
something. Douglas and Coffee county are
blessed with women of vision, women who work
and accomplish-much in all of their club under
takings.

America has*a sure enough Queen in her
confines at this time. We have not felt the
earth tremble, and after all, she is just a human
being like the rest of us, traveling along life’s
v highway, and her destination will be the same
as that of the beggar or the most humble peas
ant in this country. Queens, millionaires, as
well as the most humble citizen in our land, all
alike, have the same heart throbs, and in the end
must pass along the same way towards the in
evitbale.
