Carrollton, 'Ga., September 28 1911
The A. fit M. Fair gives promise,
in every way, of being better this
year than ever before. The time is
not far offj October 24-28. Begin
now to get ready for it.
The cotton market is lively in
Carrollton these days, although the
price is lower than it should be.
fortunate in having many
lftuiters in our town, and hence com
petition in bidding for the staple.
In their re-election to office, the
present efficient mayor and council
have been endorsed by our people.
The endorsement we believe is de
served; and now let us all pull to
gether for a better and cleaner ad
ministration for the next twelve
months.
Ex-Gov. Jos. M. Brown has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
governor. This gives us a three-
cornered contest. His platform will,
perhaps, be announced later. Just
now we are too busy with the cot
ton crop, and it is too hot to be
much agitated over the race. When
the weather is cooler, we may have
more to say about it.
The Board of Trade, at a recent
meeting elected officers for another
year. We trust and believe that
matters of public'interest will re
ceive due attention at the hands of
this body. Much can be done by it
lor the further progress and growth
of our city, and we look for aggres
sive aotion on its part. Now let the
“Civic League" resume ifo work also.
There are many things it should ag
itate.
We desire to call attention to the
fact that some of our automobilists
utterly disregard the regulations as
to speeding within our city limits.
On some of the leading streets where
children, women and others are of
ten walking, some of the machines
run apparently at the rate of twenty
to thirty miles an hour. This is
dangerous, and liable to cause acci
dents and damage that may be re
gretted for a life time. A word to
the wise is sufficient.

The Atlanta Presbytery
I am sure that a short notice of |
the recent meeting of the above
body in our county, will be of inter
est to some of your readers, and
perhaps to all.
The Southern Presbyterian church,
of which the Atlanta Presbytery is
a constituent part, is one of the ;
youngest, yet one of the most vig-;
orous of the branches of God’s
church on earth. It was organized
as a separate body in 1861, in the
city of Augusta, Ga., and from that
day until now, has had a rapid
growth, and exerted an influence
for good out of all proportion to its
numerical strength. The territory
of this church is from Maryland to
Texas, and from Kentucky to Flor
ida. It has, in round numbers 286,-
000 members, and is composed of
one General Assembly—its highest
court,—fourteen Synods, and eighty-
seven Presbyteries.
The Atlanta Presbytery is one of
the six Presbyteries of the Synod
of Georgia. This Presbytery held
its latest sessions in Villa Rica, Sep
tember 19th to 21st, 1911.
^The sixty delegates in attendance
were splendidly entertained by the
good people of Villa Rica of all de
nominations. Reports from the
sixty-three churches showed grati
fying progress along all lines of
church work. Excellent sermons
were preached by Rev. E. D.
Brownlee, Ph. D., Rev. J. E. Han
nah, Rev. T. E. Converse, D. D., and
Rev. D. H. Ogden, D. D., and stirring
addresses were made by many of
the brethren on the various branches
of church work. One of the most
sensible, able and practical addresses
was by Rev: W. H. Hudson, of China, j
on foreign missions.
Villa Rica’s flourishing school of
225 pupils, attended a service of the
Presbytery Wednesday afternoon.
The house was too small to accom
modate all the school at one time,
and the pupils came in two sec
tions and were addressed in a tell
ing and helpful manner by Rev. Dr.
Ogden, of Atlanta. Prof. Ledford is
the efficient superintendent of Villa
Rica school.
The Presbytery expressed itself in
no uncertain tone, as to its belief in
the salvation of all infants dying in
infancy, thus exploding as has been
done, hundreds of times before, the
old slander that the Presbyterian
church teaches that there are "in
fants in hell not a span long.” Of
course, no such statement has ever
beeq embodied in the creed of the
church, and yet even now we occa
sionally hear such a statement
made.
The next meeting of the Presby
tery will be held at Ingleside, Ga„ in
April, 1912. Villa Rica put her first
foot foremost during the sessions of
the Presbytery and made a fine im
pression upon all the delegates, who
unanimously expressed themselves
as delighted, not only with the hos
pitable reception extended to them
but also with the enterprise and
prosperity of the town of Villa Rica
and the good old county of Carroll
the best county in Georgia.

Getting at the Truth.
He was one of our leading logi
cians, and lie was heard to solilo
quise thus: “Five minutes ago I
laid mv hat somewhere in this
room. Nobody has been in since I
came. J cannot sec my hat now.
Therefore i must be sitting on it.
Yes, 1 am. This is another proof of
the irresistible power of logic.”—

Shetland’s Only Tree.
Up a little lane of Lerwick’s one
street there is a garden. At least
it is an inclosed space. In the mid
dle of this space there is a tree. It
is not a very tall tree; you could, in
fact, toss a biscuit over its branches,
but still it is a tree—the only tree
in Shetland. And Shetland is proud
of it. • Children who are brought for
the first time to see the wonders of
one streeted Lerwick arc shown this
tree. This is not fiction. It is the
only tree in Shetland. As there arc-
no trees in Shetland, there no birds,
except, of course, the seagulls,
which you cun number by the thou
sand.
Bslow the Piale.
A man who looked like a tramp
went into a Walnut street bookstore
and started out again almost im
mediately. A clerk called after him,
“What did you want?" “1 came in
here lookin’ for work" responded
the seedy'wayfarer, “but I see there
you’ve got a sign, ‘Dickens Works
Here All This Week For $0.’ I’d
rather starve than work for them
wages.”—Philadelphia Public Led
ger.
A Deduction.
“Say, pa,” said little Johnny
after an hour or two of deep reflec
tion, “if I put a lemon and some
sugar in a pail o’ water would that
be lemonade?”
“Yes, my son, yes—of course it
would,” replied Mr. Squiggles from
behind his newspaper.
“Welly- then.” continued Johnny,
edging toward the door, “if that’s
the case 1 suppose if I put a piece
of artillery and some gunpowder in
a barrel of water it would be a can
nonade, wouldn’t it ?”—Harper’s
Weekly.
Poor Tom.
A very youthful and entirely un
known musical composer read some
verses by the renowned Thomas
Moore which he liked very much.
Forthwith the buzz of inspiration
circulated through his brain, and
the next thing he knew he had
evolved a tune which went right
prettily with the words of the Irish
poet. Much elated, the very youth
ful composer took the product to a
^publisher of popular sougs and sang
it to him. The publisher shook his
Tiead.
“The music’s all right,” he
opined, “but the words are bum.”—
New. York Times.
The Water Telaacop*.
The fishermen of Norway some
times employ a rude sort of watei
telescope of their own inverition. A
tube is procured, mode of tin and
funnel shaped, nbout tiiree and a
half feet long land nine inches in
diamoter at the broadest end. It is
made wide enough at the top to
take in the observer’s eyes and the
inside is painted black. At the bot
tom or wide end a clear, thick piece
of glass is inserted, with a little
lead in the form of a ring to weight
the tube. When the instrument is
immersed in clear water it is said
that the observers can see down an
astonishing number of fathoms.—
Harper’s Weekly.
Helping me Engineer.
During a strike on a railway
much difficulty was experienced in
finding engineers to keep I he neces
sary trains running. One of the
substitutes, a young fellow, ran
some distance past a station, and
then, putting hark, ran as much too
far the other way. He was prepar
ing to make a third attempt when
the station agent shouted, to the
great amusement of the passengers:
“Never mind. Bob; stay where you
nre. We’ll shift the station.”
