The Holloway Band furnished music, and the reception of the tram and those in charge was a splendid one. Hon. H. W. Long welcomed the visitors in behalf of the City, Col. C. E. Roop extended a welcom from the Board of Trade, Hon W. J. Mill- 1 ican welcomed them in behalf of the, | people of Carroll County. The talk of President Soule was j one that was not only greatly enjoyed j by all those present hut it was one I of the most instructive and highly in- | telligent that it has ever been our pleasure to listen to. In a straight forward manner, he spoke of the great amount of good that had al ready been done by the State Agri cultural College at Athens, and told the people wherein lay the greatest mistakes that were being made in their crude methods of farming. Charts showed to those present what was necessary for all kinds of pro ducts to he successfully grown. The analysis of the dirt secured from the different counties was shown and proved to be of great interest to the farmers. Every car attached to the train was in charge of experts who gave to every one any information which they sought regarding different ex hibits and the literature which was carried with splendid instructions contained in it was distributed to every one passing through the cars. With the coming of this train much good has been done. Seed of the right kind have been sown, and it now remains for the formers of this country to profit by what has been told and shown them. We are glad to have had this Agricultural train with its experts visit 11s.

Like our contemporary, the esteemed Rome Tribune, we have never been . much excited about pardoning Stripling. What did Stripling do to cause such a furore of sympathy to sweep over this state? The main thing we have heard is that he got caught. One of the Virginia papers says that he killed two other men while living in Danville. He was accused once of unmercifully clubbing another /man whom he was arresting, and he was known to be a man of viol ent passions and disposition. And yet the governor will be expected to pardon him. Why? Because some near-crimnoligists of “Atlanta says that his old crime has been expatiated. Expatiated? How? By escaping, which is another crim inal offense, and by killing two other men in Virginia and seriously club bing another? How has the law, which he was convicted of violat ing by murdering his neighbor twenty years ago, been vindicated? Is it reasonable to suppose that if the crime had been committed for- the sole causes set out by Stripling that a Georgia jury would have con victed him? Georgia juries do not often convict ajman for killing anoth er to protect his home. Really there is entirely too much maudlin senti ment in this country. Let the prop er officers pass on this matter in the proper way without so many petitions and so much expiation.— Griffin News. every way. The first meeting, which will appear in next weeks ii- sue, will be addressed by some of our leading citizens on some very vital topics. You can’t afford to be absent from this meeting. A movement like this ought to have and will have the hearty sup port of every public-spirited, patriot ic, man and woman in our midst. It contemplates, first of all, an open forum wlierin may he discussed in perfect candor every vital interest of our community. Again, its purpose is to bring all trades, vocations, and occupations into a harmonons and well-advised cooperation for the general welfare and highest development of all our resources, both in men and things, The public health, public educa tion, public morals, the conservation of childhood, and its development into the highest types of manhood and womanhood are the things that shall chiefly occupy the attention of this and all subsequent meetings. At this first meeting; after the addresses and papers, it is proposed to effect a permanent organizatio 1 and to enter at once upon tlte work comtemplated. Look in next weeks issue of this paper for date of first meeting.

Winburn, of the Central, recommends that the prize money be expended for a short term at the State College'of Agricul ture at Athens, Ga., or Auburn, Air. While the farmers of the State cannot compete for these prizes, there is no reason why the Boys, Corn Club should not get after the prizes offered.

Value in Clothes is best measured by the way they hold their shape and the length of time they wear satisfactorily. Shape that is pressed in with an iron is never permanent, the first weeks wear knocks it out. In OUR clothes the shape is taUored in while the suit is being made and is perma nent, it lasts as long as the garment holds together. That combined with the high quality of the material used is why OUR clothes are cuch fine values. They are without except ion the best garments that you can buy. for SI 5.00 TO S25.00 Won’t you let us prove it ?
