Patrons of the Donalsonville
post office would certainly ap
preciate some new post office
boxes. The present boxes are out
of date, in bad repair and are not
in keeping with the progress of
the town. The present boxes are
easily opened without the com
binations and furnish little pro
tection to the patrons. Lock box
es, with keys, would be much
more suitable.

Next week marks the begin
ning of oyster season and there
;are plenty of folks who are very
fond of this fine sea delicacy
on the half shell. Some, however,
do not relish them until cold
weather, but as for us, we’ll
take ’em any day in the year,
iioine of the best we ever push
ed a molar through were in July
and August.
I ATTENTION
PEANUT
GROWERS
With favorable weather conditions for next 30 days, we are al
most certain of another good bumper crop of peanuts that can be sold at
higher prices, provided these peanuts are HARVESTED and CURED
properly. ~...
You will have two types of peanuts, EDIBLE PEANUTS and OIL
PEANUTS. Both of these type peanuts will be bought on GRADE, there
fore if a Farmer is growing Oil Peanuts, it will certainly pay him to sell
S 2, No. 3 or low grade Oil Stock Pea
ket for his crop.
!ater care than ever will be used in
•ing the Peanut Crop. With the Gov
ill probably be some delays in getting

The sentence of Private John]
Habinyak for insubordination'
was reduced this week from ten
years and nine months to three:
years by the war department.
Had the Habinyak offense been
handed a light punishment, dis
cipline in the army would have
fallen to a low rate, and our
country would have been in
grave peril. Orders must be
obeyed without question and like
offenders must be punished se
verely to maintain good discip
line. An officer in uniform is
just another American citizen,
but the uniform he wears com
mands respect.

If you are doubtful that Don-'
alsonville is growing, a glimpse
at the 1906 photo of Donalson
ville owned by Mrs. J. L. Dick
enson will suffice. At that time
Donalsonville was the proud i
owner of three brick stores and
a half dozen wooden business
houses. Tall pines grew on the
main streets and only a few
homes were noted. In 35 years
there have been quite a few'
changes, Donalsonville develop-;
ing into one of the busjnest com-'
munities in Southwest Georgia.!
And in the past 10 years the
population has shown a gain of
seventy-five per cent, and the
town continues to grow.

; mittee of Georgia, which is conducting
' a statewide “clean up or close up”

GROWERS HAVE UNTIL
OCTOBER ITO REPAY _
1938-10 LINT LOANS
, Georgia growers will have until
October J to repay outstanding loans
i and redeem cotton pledged under the,
1938, 1939 and 1940 loan programs, '
' Grady Woods, chairman of the
Semipole county AAA committee, an
i nounced this week,
After October 1, Mr. Woods said, i
I unredeemed cotton will be placed in!
i pools, as provided by the loan agree- ■
ments, and sold by the Commodity
i Credit Corporation, with the produc
j ers receiving the net proceeds, if any, ■
after deduction of all advances and
apcrueii costs, including storage, in
surance, and handling charges. Pay
ments to producers will be in pro
portion to their interest jn the c<)t=
ton in each year's poo).
No payment will bo made to the!
I producer at the time his cotton is]
placed In the pool, and individual (
' producers will not be entitled to or- I
der the sale of the particular cotton '
which he placed in the pool. Sales of
pooled stock will not be made prior
to March 1, 1942.
Rising prices since February and
March, he said, have made it profit
able for producers to redeem loan cot
ton, and repossessions have mounted
especially since late May, after the
enactment of 85 percent of parity loan
legislation.
Loans on about 20,000 bales of 1938-
39 and 1939-40 cotton from Georgia
farms are now outstanding, the Com
modity Credit Corporation reports.
Close grazing and frequent cutting
close to the ground will gradually kill
out bushes and briars in the pasture,
according to Extension agronomists.
If seed are to be saved, Extension
workers say that lespedeza sericea
should be cut when the seeds are a
bout mature.
