The first tournament of the season will be held next week. o Miss Reese of Brenau at Gaines ville was the guest of Prof, and Mrs. J. D. Smith for the past week-end. CHICKEN INDUSTRY GIVEN A BIG BOOST GOLDEN RULE SALE MONDAY MOST SUCCESSFUL YET CONDUCTED. The fifth Golden Rule Sale Mon day, which included the sale of about 2,000 Lamar county chickens, which put about $2,000 into the pockets of the poultry raisers of the county, was decidedly the most successful event which the Bamesville Advertising club has yet pulled off. It is freely predicted that the big boost given to the chicken industry will be worth in itself more than all the money which has been expended by the club in ithe work and advertising it has done. Messrs. H. A. Cliett, county agent, E. P. Drexel, vocational agent, and D. L. Anderson, secretary of the La mar County Board of Trade, an nounced last week that they wanted a car load of chickens brought to Barnesville Monday for sale and ship ment. They had only a few days in which to advertise for chickens and as it was an entirely new venture for the county many people were skep tical about the success of the move ment. However, Monday morning people began to come in from the various communities, bringing with them all varieties and kinds of chick ens. A chicken car had been pro vided and placed on the track near the freight depot and for a time it looked as if there would be a big car load. A representative of a Phila delphia company was present to buy everything in the way of a chicken that was presented. As fast as the chickens were weighed and the cal culations made Mr. Cliett issued a check on the Citizens Bank and tfie sellers obtained the cash. So far as we have heard the chicken raisers were more than pleased with the re sults. A good, fat hen brought any where from SI.OO to $1.50 or more, iri many cases the price proving a gratifying surprise to the sellers. Roosters also brought a good price. Of course, so early, there were no fryers, which would have brought a jjpncy price. The really a revelation for the community and county, it demonstrates that the poultry indus try can easily be made a source of great profit, and many people re turned home determined to engage more extensively in the enterprise. The citizens of Lamar county by this co-operative movement in growing poultry can easily sell and ship a car load of chickens every month, which would bring them from $2,000 to $5,000 a month. This would prove' a great help. There would be ab solutely no trouble to dispose of all the poultry that can be raised if brought together and sold in this way. Messrs. Cliett, Drexel, Anderson and others who assisted them in the work Monday deserve the thanks of the entire county in the success which they made of the chicken sale and the result should be such an inspira tion that it will be the beginning of great things in the poultry industry for Lamar county. The merchants who belong to the Barnesville Advertising club express themselves as being highly gratified with their sales Monday, the day be ing by far the most successful yet conducted. The following illustra tion will show how it works: Mr. Clark Bush took in $l3O cash from the sales of the two articles he of fered in the day’s sale, embracing articles priced at 50. and 75 cents. Mr. A. H. English sold S3OO for cash and says it was one of the best days he has had in many a day. Other merchants did equally as well, some of them stating their sales doubled or trebled their sales pn any previous day. Monday was a really great day and demonstrated that the merchants and business men of the city should give hearty support to the Barnesville Advertising club in the work it is do ing. FINE PROGRAM NEXT SUNDAY AT ANTIOCH There will be a specially fine pro gram at Antioch church five miles south of Barnesville next Sunday at 11 o’clock, when the Mercer Male quartette will furnish the music for the service and Mr. Artemus Ruffin will preach the sermon. Mr. Ruffin is a popular young man of that com munity who is attending Mercer Uni versity and preparing for the minis try. There will doubtless be a large congregation present to enjoy the day’s exercises. WE SELL wuvD*v Pattern WHY PAY MORE?
