I
AN APPEAL TO THE
FARMERS OF JONES.
Our Exhibit at the State
Fair Must Be Increased.
Our county fair is over, and an-
other success scered. Our people
are to bo congratulated; they have
done well, and the county, as a
whole, has been helped wonder¬
fully. While this is true, and
every citizen should rejoice, there
is much more in store for us if our
people will but make ono more
short but steady pull.
Our exhibit is on the fair
groundsill Macon, and while it is
a splendid one, it can and must
be made much better. As it stands
it will be admired and praised by
all visitors, butthatw.il not sat-
isfy. We want an exhibit
will onrry of. the first prize offer¬
ed by the State Fair. We not on¬
ly want it, but if our people will
place on exhibition a full and fair
sample of our resources, wo have
an excellent chance of getting it.
I earnestly urge every farmer—
large and small—to bring some¬
thing from his farm this week to
add to what we already have. Wo
need more corn, peas, potatoes,
wheat, oats, grasses, vegetables,
kershaws. pumpkins, or anything
else that grows in the county. If
we expect to win we must have
more products added to what we
have.
Let every one take this appeal
as personal and feel that he or
she is called upon to help. It’s a
little trouble, of course, but in
the end you will be amply repaid.
One short, steady pull and old
Jones will land high and dry above
all her competitors.
I confidently look for your
help.
We need wagon loads this week.
Won’t some progressive farmer in
each community take upon him¬
self the task o.’ sending down n
load? If too far to come through
-hip to J. T. Williams, care of
Fair Association. ft-ime one will
be on the grounds all of this week
to receive what is brought or
-f-nt. There is no time to low;
act now or forever alter cause (<>
boast of your loyalty to home and
friends. Ii is “up to you. ” ft all
we win, or lose?
Trusting lo see large additions,
1 am, Yours truly,
Saji Baiikox.
P. ft. We are especially short in
vegetables, and as liny count 20
per cent in the general average it
is of the utmost importance that
we hnve more of them. Send us a
large and varied assortment. A
little from each one will help to
swell the whole. B.
MONEY TO LOAN.
We guarantee to furnish you
money cheaper than you can get
it anywhere else. If you are short
of money, want to buy land, or

From Round Oak.
A day or two ago as I was walk¬
ing along the railroad, enroute to
my midday meal, I saw walking
just, ahead of mo a little copper
colored variety of negro about
live years old, wearing what I
would term an abbreviated pair of
long pants—a sort of split-the-
difference between long pants and
knee breeches. His sock less num¬
ber two feet were 6 tuck into a
pair of number five shoes, the
of w||ioh dragg( , d a | ong the
ground as he flapped them along.
There was a big pile of “clinkers”
just in front of the aforesaid little
nig,and iusteadof walking around
tho pile he stepped right up on
top of it with both feet and bog¬
ged up over t he tops of both shoes,
filling the space not occupied by
his feet with almost red hot clink¬
ers which had only a few min¬
utes before been taken from the
freight engine, though neither of
us hnew they were hot until this
ullfortunate lump of copper col-
ored humaility , mrtly filled his
big bud’s shoes with them. If ev¬
er any diminutive lump of nnuto
danced, squealed and yelled
“JEr-Loddyt” he did. 1 told him
to pull of his shoes, and before I
could say “Scat” lie made some¬
thing like a hundred frantic grabs
at the cotton shoe strings, und be¬
tween shortdog steps, screaks and
snuffles he managed to say, “Der
string literliod knot.” I pushed
him down flat of his back and
yelled at him to hold up both
feet. He did so, but when the
clinkers came pouting out of both
shoes right into cuffy’s bosom, his
shirt front being minus the regu¬
lation buttons, the situation got
worse, No one ever saw a limber-
jack move arms and legs more
hurriedly or roll and tumble more
like a first-class contortionist. At
this stage of the game I grabbed
the boy by the legs, clipped both
shoe strings with mv scissors,
jerked his shoes off and rolled him
over on his face to let the clinker,
out of his hosom. Tho noise he
had been making dwindled down
lo a long, dill moan, snuffle,
snuffle, and a. fort of hiekupy boo-
Iioo. All ilns happened in about
a minute, and little copper color
was more frightened,than burned,
for 1 found but one or two little
blisters. I'll hot an empty match
box tho little dickens will walk
arottud the next pile of clinkers.
Jim Jackson and his fi.-liing
friends wont seining again last
week in Falling creek, and with
three dips with their seine caught
three hundred channel cat fish.
This sounds right fishy, but Jim
Jackson says lie can prove what
ho tells.
Miss Mamie Adams, of Enton-
lon, who is spending several days
with relatives in our town, has
been tendered and has accepted
the senool at Elim, ihis county.
We are glad to have her among
ns. She doesn’t talk as much as
some people I know, hut she
shines, so does a diamond.
Miss May Williams of Eaton-
ton has been elected assistant
teacher of the Rouud Oak school.
She comes to us a stranger, but
May be anything else before she is
with us long.
McCullough Bros, have gone in¬
to the mercantile business at this
place. They have bought the store
house formerly occupied by W. F.
White. They aro now arranging
their goods on the shelves and pro¬
pose to do their share of the busi¬
ness here.
When the work of lengthening
the store house of F S Johnson is
completed he will have decidedly
the. largest and nicest store room
at Round Oak.
Will some French gentleman
tell me how it is than there are
fewer children of school age in
Jones county now than there were
ten years ngo? The school census
was taken in Jones county ten
years ago and was again taken last
July and the figures show that
there is a decreuse of 37 white
childien and 502 blacks., making
a total decrease of 599- This
means that Jones county’s share
of the public school fund will be
es - than formerly.

DO GOOD—IT PAYS.
A Chicago man has observed
that, “Good deeds are better than
real estate deeds—some ol the lat¬
ter arc worthless. Act kindly and
gently, show sympathy and lend
a helping hand. You cannot pos-
sibly lose by it.” Most men ap-
predate a kind word and enceiir-
agemont more than substantial
help. There are persons in this
community who might truthful-
lysay: “My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses of Chamber-
lain’B Cough Remedy will rid you
of your cold, and theie is 110 dan¬
ger whatever from pneumonia It
when you use that medicine.
always cures. 1 know it for it has
helped me out many a time.”

The Reason
Wo sold more vehicles last yenr
than dealers that have been in the
business for the last quarter of a
century speaks volumes.
People are becoming more de¬
noting every day. The first thing
they seek, now ii quality. TUry
next consider tho price. That is
sensible.
That explains tho whole mat-
ter. Quality und prise is our
Imbby. We do dot consider
cheap vehicles at all. We decide
<jii the beet wagons and baggies
«ih 1 then buy them so we caw
undersoil our competitors,
We got all tho discounts off by
paying spot cash.
We can prove all we say to lie
true.. Gall and let us doit.
