Jackson County Cotton Crop
Late
The cotton crop in Jackson coun
ty, as well a- in all of Northeast
Georgia, is about a month later than
it was in 1925. This was brought
about by the dry weather of the
eirly .spring, prevented cotton
coming up. If ‘there is no early
frost, this late cotton will mature,
and the county will produce a large
crop. The rain and cloudy weather
of last week retarded the opening,
but the sunshine of the first of this
week put the pickers back to work, I
and the next government report will I
show a big increase.
The report issued on cotton gin
ned prior to Oct. Jst, gave Jackson I
county only 1709 bales, whereas on \
the same date last year 8225 bahs
had been ginned.
The City Council and City Hoard
of Education < f Commerce are plan
ning’ to erect an up-to-date audi
torium for the schools of that city.
The building will be 48 by 96 feet,
and will cost approimately $7,000,
and will seat eight hundred people.
Mr. T. T. Leachman, a brother of
Mr. Tom Leachman of this county,
died in Athen'- last week, and was
laid to rest in the cemetery in that
city. Th> deceased is survived by
his widow, three daughters and one
son. He was a native of Madison
county.
In a concerted effort to seciwe
some measure of permanent relief for
the peach growers of Georgia, and
others closely connected with the in
dustry who have been hard hit by the
low prices of the last few seasons,
the Georgia Peach Growers’ exchange
has called a state-wide conference of
all interested in the peach industry,
to gather in Macon November 16 for
a discussion of thier problems.
The Atlanta Federation of Wom
en’s Clutw will place in the state tu
berculosis sanatorium at Alto a li
berary of 2,000 volumes which will
be named in honor of Mrs. It. K.
Bumbo, president of the federation,
the library to be in tailed in January,
at the opening of the new building,
and presented by the federation to
the sanatorium. .
Babe Ruth not only won everlast
ing baseball renown with his fin of
home run swats in the fourth game
of the World Series played in St.
Louis, but he also won a Chevrolet.
One of the circuit clouts crashed,
through the plate glass window of an
automobile salesroom near the Cardi
nal park and bounded off the side of
a Chevrolet coupe on display inside.
In acknowledgement of his feat the
Bambino was presented with the
coupe. "Times have changed, “said
Ruth with a broad grin. “Some years
ago it would have been a serious of
fense fotr any of us to break a win
dow with a base ball. Now it brings
anew automobile.”
The diseases common among chil
dren at this season of the year, diph
theria and scarlet fever, are preva
lent in many localities in the state,
and parents are urged to give their
children the antitoxin treatment, and
thus prevent the effects of these ter
rible diseases. Modern science has
demonstrated thtiT children need not
have these maladies. Of diphtheira.
Doctor Crumbire, of the American
Child Health Association, recently
made this striking statement: “The
time will soon come when every case
of diphtheria ><lll be an indictment
against the intelligence of parents,
and it will not be many years before
every death from diphtheria will be
referreti to a coroner's jury for in
vestigation to fix criminal responsi
bility.” Thus, . . adually, by experi
mental medical research, the antitox
tin treatment is conquering many
diseases that formerly were regarded
a- "usual diseases of children,” and
the time is coming when measles,
whooping cough and infantile paraly
sis will be combatted by serum treat
ment.
C apt. Archer, Messrs. B. L. Young
and Fred Brock all have sick children,

from the new graded road through
town. Capt. Archer sprinkled the
road Monday and settle;! the dust.

Commerce Calf Won Prize At
Atlanta Fair
Kilby Hunt, a member of the
Commerce Jersey Calf Club, won
second prize with his heifer at the
Southeastern Fair in Atlanta. The
importance of his winning may be
better understood when we explain
that his calf was in competition with
the best the Jersey breeders of the
state had to show. Kirby accomplish
ed an almost impossible feat. We
congratulate him. The community
needs more boys of his aggressive
ness.
The esteemed Oglethorpe Echo is
fifty-one years old, and Mr. Shackel
ford has been with the half centen
arian for forty-six years. It’s no
ivonder he loves printers ink. It’s nc
wonder he gets out one of the best
weekly papers in the state. It’s no
wonder that he is determined to (lie
in the harness. He is wedded to
printers ink. He loves his editorial
page. In the printshop he b as
much at home as is a fish in water.
Such men are worth while.

brightest and most beautiful Hallo

favors and the merry guests made
happy the occasion with jolly games

joyously extended, receiving the af
fectionate congratulations and good
wishes of his many little friends.
