EDITORIAL NOTES.
The second annual Lamar County
fair, held last week, was certainly a
wonderful success, by all rules by
which fairs are judged. The com
munity exhibits of farm and home
products from Redbone district, un
der the influence and direction of
the Redbone Woman’s Club, the Ra
mah display, largely the work and
product of Mr. G. W. Pippin and his
sons, and the Milner exhibit, the re-
sult of the splendid cooperation ex
isting among the men and women of
the Milner community, for the size
of them, could not be surpassed any
where and they would have made a
fine showing at any fair in the coun
try. The products displayed, both of
the farm and those made or trans
formed by the hands of the women,
were of as high quality and equal in
variety as one would care to see and
produced an impression that was as
complimentary as it could well be.
In fact, they all won the highest pos-
sible praise from every visitor who
was heard to express any comment at
all. Such a showing should be a con
stant source of inspiration to every
citizen of Lamar county, for it shows
what our people are capable of do
ing and further that they have the
spirit that will not submit to failure
or defeat it matters not how difficult
the situation may be which confronts
them. No people who can make such
a showing as these exhibits made will
long be under a financial depression
and it will be only a question of
time when they will be independent
and happy in spite of any temporary
adversity which may come to them.
These three exhibits alone should be
worth more to the citizenship of I-a
mar county than the whole fair cost.
The News-Gazette heartily commends
all those who had any part in as
sembling and putting in order these
exhibits. Their efforts, in our opin
ion, is certain to result in vast good
to the county and section.
President T. O. Galloway, Mr. H.
A. Cliett, Mayor W. T. Summers, Mr.
D. L. Anderson, Mr. B. M. Turner,
Mr. E. G. Horne, Mr. B. T. Woodall,
Mr. A. L. Mills, Mr. C. P. Graddick,
Mrs. Kate Clary and others, who
were among those most active in the
management of the fair, having the
details of the big undertaking in
hand and who freely gave their time
to the enterprise, deserve the thanks
of the public generally for the man
ner in which* they discharged their
difficult and often delicate tasks in
bringing the fair to a successful con
clusion. The management, so far as
we are able to judge, was about as
near perfection as it could possibly
be and we believe we express the
unanimous verdict of all who were in
any way interested in its success
when we say to them, “Well done,’
and we are sure they deserve the
heartiest congratulations for the re
markable success which has attended
their efforts. The fact that they
succeeded in holding such a fair in
the face of the great difficulties
which various conditions brought
about makes their success all the
more important and impressive.
Well, after all, was the fair worth
while and has any Rood come of it?
Some have asked the question, in all
Rood faith, and it is worth thinking
about. We say, without hesitation,
that it was worth while and good
will, and in fact already has, come
of it. Men, women and children hnve
got to have diversion. We can not
live as successfully and as largely by
staying at home all the time and by
seeing and doing the same things all
the time. Working and planning for
and attending the fair brought us all
into anew atmosphere, caused us to
uee and feel something apart from
the difficulties which we had been
seeing in our lives and in the lives
of nearly all those about us. In
stead of hearing sighs and seeing
tears we heard the music of the
bands and saw smiles on the faces of
the people wherever we met them.
We found life and joy still extant
and from appearances prosperity
still abounds. Everybody may not
have “money to burn” but nearly
everybody has enough, or did have,
to take a ride on the Ferris wheel, or
the Merry-Go-Round, or the Sea
Plane, or the Whip, or to take a
throw at the “cat stands,” or to risk
a dime at some other “wheel of for
tune" to sec if you could get just
one baby doll all dressed up in
“tinsel and tissue” paper. You may
have come away with nothing to
ahow for your money but you were
unquestionably happier and are still
so. A person could be a hermit and
not see anybody and not spend any
thing but what would that be worth
to the hermit or to the world? Theu,
when the various exhibits were in
’ spected and it was demonstrated
I what somebody was doing to create
something that would help them
seives and somebody else it set be
fore the people an example and pro
vided a source of inspiration that
will eventually turn into great value
to the country. Yes, we say the
fair was worth while and although
it may have cost some money and
some money may have left the com
munity because the fair was held it
was and is still a worthy and a profit
able enterprise for Lamar county
and the adjacent territory. Let’s
have another and if possible, a better
one.
If the women of Redbone com
munity can accomplish such remark
ably fine work, if they can make and
get together such an array of canned
goods, pickles, preserves, jellies, etc.,
a display, which for the quality and
the attractive way in which it was
put up, could not be surpassed; if
the people of the Milner community
and Mr. G. W. Pippin and his sons
can make such magnificent and va
ried products from the farm, which
will enable them to live like a King
and which will bring them good re
turns in money from their sales, why
can not the people of almost any
other community do so too? If
some farmers can successfully make
cotton, as was demonstrated by ex
hibits at the fair, as is so forcefully
referred to in an article in the News-
Gazette elsewhere by Mr. A. O. Mur
phey, why can not other farmers
grow cotton also? If such fine hogs
and poultry can be raised in Lamar
county by some people why can not
practically everybody do so, if they
will devote themselves to the job
with equal intelligence and industry?
By the way, the exhibits of hogs and
poultry were exceptionally credita
ble and won the praise of everybody
who saw them. It shows that won
derful progress has already been
made in Lamar county in these two
important industries and if they are
developed as they may be they will
prove to be sources of great pros
perity for our county. There should
no longer be any question about
these diversified lines of, operations
being profitable if they are properly
pursued and this fact should forever
banish pessimism from our midst.
Of course, it may take time to get
our operations on the basis necessary
for meeting the greatest success but
it can and.should be done. The fair
has forcefully brought the possibili
ties before us and everybody should
make the most of the opportunities
which are ours.
Another thing which the fair and
its success emphasizes is the import
ance and value of women in all our
present day affairs and this, accord
ing to our view, is as it should be.
More and more they are going to
come in for thedr share of considera
tion and honor and there is no ques
tion that they will measure up fully
to their responsibility. In our fair
the women of the county did their
part and without them its magnifi
cent success would have been impos
sible. All honor to our women.
Judge Walter F. George’s sweep
ing victory in the primary of Tues
day, when he easily won the nomina
tion for United States senator over
Governor Hardwick and Hon. Sea
born Wright, is one of the greatest
political victories won in Georgia.
Georgia honored herself in honoring
Judge George. As Georgia’s Junior
Senator he will make the state and
nation a splendid senator. His elec
tion will give to south Georgia a rep
resentation in the United States sen-
ate which it has not had in many
years and to which it was justly en
titled. It is very gratifying to the
friends of George locally that Lamar
county, supposedly a Hardwick
stronghold, gave a handsome plurali
ty to Judge George.

Clean Child’s Bowels with
"California Cis Syrup"
Even a sick child loves the “fruity”
taste of “California Fig Syrup.’’ If
the litttle tongue is coated, or if your
child is listless, cross, feverish, full
of cold, or has colic, a teaspoonful
will never fail to open the bowels.
In a few hours you can see for your
self how thoroughly it works all the
constipation poison, sour bile and
waste from the tender, little bowels
and gives you a well, playful child
again.
Millions of mothers keep “Cali
fornia Fig Syrup” handy. They
know a teaspoonful today saves a sick
child tomorrow. Ask your druggist
for genuine “California Fig Syrup,”
which has directions for babies and
children of all ages printed on bot
tle. Mother! You must say “Cali
fornia” or you may get an imitation
fig syrup.

not a humbug! Get a bottle at any
drugstore.
LAMONT NOTES
Well, the fair is over and we have
no kick coming, as Redbone brought
away her part of the prizes and blue
ribbons.
The* Redbone Woman’s Club dis
play took Ist prize, Ramah com
munity, under the management of
G. W. Pippin & Sons, took 2nd
prize, and both took the blue ribbons
on various articles.
Mr. S. E. Sappington, the ugliest
man for Redbone, and Miss Lois
Rfoss, the prettiest girl, never won a
prize, but I guess they were ugly and
pretty enough to draw attention.
The fair in my estimation was
quite a success, not knowing about
the financial end of if.
B. F. Milner and Zack Sullivan,
will attend the Southeastern Fair in
Atlanta this week, going as club win
ners.
Sunday was quite a disagreeable
day and the attendance at Fredonia
was small. The State Congrega
tional Conference will convene at
Fredonia, October 31st and Novem
ber Ist and 2nd. Several delegates
are expected to be present.
The fourth quarterly conference
will be held at Prospect November
2nd instead of the sth.
Master Kellett Sappington was a
heavy winner with his Poland China
pig at the fair last week.
Barnesville is to be congratulated
on having such beautiful . floats in
the parade Tuesday of last week.
Quite a number of our men are
attending City Court in Barnesville
this week.
Those from Barnesville attending
Justice Court here last Friday were
Col. Johnson, Messrs. W. H. Mitchell,
Cicero Bums and Uncle Tom Hay
good.
The farmers have about completed
gathering thi scrop and are now get
ting ready for another grain crop.
NEXT DOSE CALOMEL
MAY SALIVATE YOU
IT IS MERCURY, QUICKSILVER.
SHOCKS LIVER AND ATTACKS
YOUR BONES.
Calomel salivation is horrible. It
swells the tongue, loosens the teeth
and starts rheumatism. There’s no
reason why a person should take
sickening, salivating calomel when a
few cents buys a large bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone—a perfect substi
tute for calomel. It is a pleasant
vegetable liquid which' will start your
liver just as surely as calomel, but
it doesn’t make you sick and can not
salivate.
Calomel is a dangerous drag, be
sides it may make you feel weak,
sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don’t
lose a day’s work. Take a spoonful
of Dodson’s Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No
salts necessary. Your druggist says
if you don’t find Dodson’s Liver
Tone acts better than treacherous
calomel your money is waiting for
you.
