HE COUNTY FAIRS A GREAT SUCCESS Much Has Been Done to Advertise Georgia’s Vast Resources This Way. Georgia seems to be very rich in county fairs this fall. From ; all over the state there come re ports of successful exhibitions of the products of the soil with dis plays of handiwork showing the j genius of the women of Georgia with the needle or the brush. With the boys joining corn dubs and making more corn to the acre than their daddies ever could produce, and the girls form ing tomato clubs and putting up “love apples” in away that sur prises mother, who has only known one way to can them for the last half century, we are building up a great and lasting asset in Georgia in the guise of intelligent men and women and the county fair gives these geni uses on the farm an opportunity to show what they have accom plished. A state fair is an education to a man who visits it. It gives in attractive foYm the best products of the state and the county fair is an adjunct of the state fair. Often a county exhibition at tractively arranged in some live town will inspire the people of that county to make an exhibit at a state fair. Bulloch county has reversed this plan. It first went to the state fair and captur ing several first prizes decided that it was a big enough institu tion to have a fair of its own. The recent successful Bulloch county fair indicated that the promoters were pretty nearly right in this idea, too. Stewart county is now display ing its producs at a county fair and from all accounts it is an ex hibition that should create a good deal of favorable comment. There is not a county in Geor gia that could not have a fair of its own if it wanted to. We can raise so many things in different parts of the state that the shows in each county would be suffi ciently diversified to make them most entertaining. For instance, the display of Rabun county ap ples just concluded in Atlanta, gave a great many people a new idea of the resources of the state. Dougherty county, if it desired, could make a pecan display that would astonish even those who think they know the full capac ity of the Georgia soil for pro ducing diversified crops. Here along the Atlantic Seaboard we are raising oranges that are pal atable and delicious and in other sections of the state there are crops grown that bring great profits to the producers, but that are seldom heard of away from their immediate locality. The county fair will do a great deal toward bringing all sections to the attention of the folks at home.— Sayannah Press. And No Wonder. “I,ve found a new use for your gramophone records you bought last week and which cost such a lot of money,” said his wife, ac cording to the San Francisco Chronicle. “How clever you are,” he ex claimed. “What is your latest?” “In the first place,” she began “I hold a skein of wool over my arm, tie one end of the wool on a reel, place the reel on the gram- j ophone pin and then start the machine. The wool is wound up in no time.” The fond husband gasped in admiration. “But that is not all,” she con-, tinued. “To-morrow I shall place a little bath-brick on one end of the records, start the < gramophone, and so clean the knives. ” He is still gaping. The syrup-making season is , near at hand. Save your prod uct in safe bottles with new stoppers. Get them at the Sumer- ' ford Drug Co., Alley, Ga.—Ad. i A FRIEND. A friend is the one who, when a fellow is down and out, comes and offers aid. A friend is the one to whom I you can freely go and feel no | hesitancy. A friend is the fellow who will help you over the rough place. A friend is the one who will come and help you if you happen to stumble in error. A friend is one who can stand , in your shoes, and look at things from your viewpoint, and con sider. A friend is the one who will hurl back in the teeth the tale which others would tell and back bite you. A friend is the one who will stop the stone of rumor before evil tongues ruin you unawares. A friend is the one who looks over your errors, and helps you mend the bad and worn places in your life. A friend is the one who picks you out of the ditch and sets you on your feet, instead of knocking you off your feet with their ham mer, into the ditch. Beware of the fellow who is always asking a favor of you but never willing to return even a pleasant smile. Beware of the fellow who lets you do the work and then takes the credit. Beware of the fellow who tells you when alone that you are “the stuff” but never opens his chops I about it around when there is anyone else listening. Beware of the fellow that is always afraid of someone steal ing his thunder. Always give the devil his dues. There is good in every man and woman —if you search it out. The fellow who uses his ham-' mer on the other fellow, finds often times that his hammer is made of rubber. It springs back and hits him in the face. A man or woman in public life must expect bullets from a thou sand guns of rumor, and must lay aside one-half their time in dodging these bullets. More men and women in pub lic pursuits have been ruined by rumor than foolish plays. The life has been stamped out of more beneficial results by ru mor, jealousy, and fear that the other fellow will get the credit, than has actually been accom plished. Cast your bread upon the waters closest home—it will re turn to you the sooner. Remember the fellow that is down-andout. Remember, its youi‘ turn next.—Mrs. 0. Delight Smith in Macon Telegraph-Indus trial Journal. Co-operation by Farmers. Agricultural co-operation con sists of two parts: 1. Production —Production in volves all the processes inci dental to the cultivation of the land and the keep of the farmer, the purchase of stock, imple ments, seeds, manures, the raw material of agriculture. 2. Distribution —Distribution is concerned with the disposal of the produce of the land, its con veyance to market, its sale to the purchaser, its transport to the consumer. The success of the farmer de pends on two things—the cost at which he produces and the price he receiyes for his produce. While it is necessary that the farmer should command a good market, it is essential that he should reduce his expenses to the lowest point compatible with es-1 ficiency.— Gilbert Parker.
