COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
ADVISORY BOARD FOR
CARROLL IS FORMED
TAX PAYERS HONOR ROLL
The first man to pay his Btato and
county taxes for the year 1918, was
James W. Smith, of Carrollton dis
trict. Mr. Smith is known ns “Uncle
Jimmie,” who is one of the county's
oldest and best citizens. Uncle Jim-
mio was at the office door waiting long
before the hour of opening. He said
ho owed nothing except his tnvos fir
this year, 1918, and his preacher for
next year.
If all the people in the world were
like Uncle Jimmie the CREDIT MAN
would be seeking some other job.
A THRILLING SENSATION
FOR CARROLLTON
For an enterprising firm to “slip”
out of town, as it were, in these
days of scarce and high-priced mer-
cshandisc and buy a brand new stock or
the very best grade of dry goods and
the famous Hamilton Brown shoes, like
price, and to move this splendid stock
H. M. Tyus has bought nt his own price
to Carrollton and combine it with his
other immense stock of shoes and win-
tor goods and then put on a big sale
and cut THE VERY LIFE OUT OF
PRICES right in the opening of the fall,
when tbo people buy their slippers, will,
indeed, prove a startling sensation in
Hus section of Cfeorgia. Our readers
will note the big, attractive, full-page
in today’s Free Press.
There is sure to bo “something do
ing” through the month of October at
the popular and reliable store of II. M.
Tyus. The big sale stnrts tomorrow,
Saturday, October 5th.
At our last meeting more than twon
ty boys were present. Our new mem
bers keep coming in but “there’s al
ways room for one more.” We hear
tily welcome new. members and visit
ors to our meetings.

Major Graybill, who was recently
elected assistant Scout Master, is rap
idly taking on to the duties of his of
fice—you might say catching the scout
step like a veteran. He >was unani
mously chosen cpmmnnder of the camp
to be pitched at Hay’s Mill next Fri
day.
• • • •
Several members qualified as Tender
foot Scouts at our last meeting and
most of the new members expect to be
ready to qualify next meeting. The
boys are full of “pep” and the morale
is good. The pr$|pects for great things
in scoutcraft are brighter than ever
before.
« • • •
Grent fun to keep the Hun on the.
run. Everybody buy Liberty Bonds
and help keep our big brothers well
provided for at the'front. Buy from
the Scouts.

Patrol Leader Dodd made a splendid

Efforts will be made to locate seed
wheat for those who have to buy. Any
one having home-grown seed should let
his neighbor hnvc it, and if there is
any surplus notify County Agent Jack-
son.
Doctors, lawyers, bankers, merchants,
ministers and farmers are urged to give
all aid possible to the Liberty Wheat
Growing Canvass.
Let Carroll county sow 10,000 acres
to wheat this fnll.

O. I. C. PIGS FOR SALE
I have made arrangements with a
Virginia breeder to get about three or
four dozen thoroughbred O. I. C. pigs
this fall. Some of these are ready to
hip now. The demand will be grent
and it will pay to buy early. Pigs are
going to be plentiful this season, but
people are learning to get good stock in
their pigs and the same will be high
and scarce. ROGEB MEEKS.

ROGER MEEKS.
Any farmer who will bring his seed
wheat and oats to the A. M. school be
tween 2 and 5 o’clock p. m. during thn
school session, can get it trented to pre
vent smut and rust.
The only cost will be for the material
used in this treatment, which will be a
very small amount.
Owing to the great loss in yield every
year in Georgia by smut and other dis
eases it is essential that every preven
tative should be used to reduce this
loss.
The agricultural departmenl of thu
A. & M. school will give all assistance
It can in this movement. The boys
will be glad to do tills much for the
fanners of this community, and those
In charge of tho departments will as
sure you that the work will be dons
right.
The method used is ns follows:
One flint of 40 per cent Form* lin for
50 bushels of wheat or oats. This can
lie sprayed on the ground. Thoroughly
shovel the grain so the Formalin is well
distributed. Cover grain with canvass
for four hours, then spread thinly ia
the floor so grain can dry.
Do not let grain be soaked for many
days.
Do not cover grain for more than
four hours, as it might ihjure the send,
seed.
Do not get Formolin on hands.
Heed the treated grain immediately
after treating, if possible, as it will in
sure bettor germination.
Never feed treated grain.

Keep the church at the floodtlde of

of Christ is the only agency that can
adequately develop these.

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.
GENERAL PERSHING SAYS: Thn
prayers, hopes and Ideals of Christian

the soul and the motive for the mili
tary body and its co-operation, it stead

tions which assail us in the extraordi

BISHOP CANDLER SAYS: This
war ought to bring home to every loyal
heart tho sacred obligation of every
man to be religious,' and as far as in
him lies, to induce others to be relig
ions. Our boys will light and die in
vain if we at home allow tthe work
of the churches to languish, or permit
