BULLOCH COUNTY FAIR
WAS BiO SUCCESS
Five Days of Fun and Fine
Exhibits Mark the
Occasion.
Statesboro, Ga., Oct. 19.—The
second annual Bulloch county
fair came to a close tonight after
five successful days. That the
attraction surpassed in every de
tail the affair of last fall is con
ceded by every one. The one
last year was the first ever held
in this county and preparations
were not made as they were this
year. The grounds this year
were much larger. There are
three buildings—one for agricul
ture, one for Daughters of the j
Confederacy and one for women’s
fancy work and domestic art.
There was also a ladies’ rest
room on the grounds. The agri
cultural display was a most cred
itable one, showing specimens of
Almost everything grown in thi s
lection. One would think from
the fresh and mammoth water
melons on display that it was the
height of the melon season.
The racing was an interesting
feature of the fair and attracted
large crowds every afternoon. A
circular track was built and it is
the intention of the management
to have the road clayed before
the next fair is held. Parker
Bird won the trotting race yes
terday afternoon, the first prize
being SSO.
The little city has been crowded
more this week than ever before,
aspecially Thursday, which was
Savannah day, when the Forest
City was represented by approx
imately 500 of its citizens, the
majority of them coming up in
automobiles.
Exciting Time When
They snapped Babies.
Cordele, Oct. 2K. The white
waiting room at the Union depot
was the scene today of quite an
exciting time, when two women,
having several children each, in
addition to two wee babies, by
some unexplainable means got
the two smallest tots mixed.
One of the women with her
children and the baby belonging
to the other woman boarded a
train which was just about to
leave the station. The children
didn’t discover the difference,
nor did the women, until a few
minutes later. Frantically the
other woman rushed from the de
pot and snatched her baby from
the arms of the woman who had
boarded the train.
"Give me my baby!” shecried,
"you have got the wrong one.’’
And then the other woman was
frantic until she had recovered
her baby, which had been left in
the waiting room. To make the
■cene more exciting the two wo
men were total strangers to each,
other.
Found S4O in Fence Corner. 1
The editor of the Pender
Chronicle tells of finding S4O in
a farmer's fence corner the other
day. The story is so interesting
that we pass it on for the benefit
of our readers: “Wo were a lit
tle surprised a few days ago to
find S4O lying in the road beside
the hedge at the corner of one of
our prominent business farmers’
home, and the more so to find
that it had lain there several
months unmolested, but begin
ning to look much tin' worse for
the exposure. The money was
in the shape of a two-horse corn
planter that will have to lie re
placed by a new one before many
years unless cared for better
than that”—Progressive Farm

New Way of Raising
Poultry Found in N. Y.
New York, Oct. 16.—An old
woman floundered out of Charles
Wolinsky’s chicken market this
morning with a skirt that bulged
conspicuously. The patrolman
at the corner eyed the lumps,
but concluded that they might be
due to some unusual conforma
: tion of the figure beneath.
At about the time he reached
this conclusion a noise broke out
under the skirt. There were sev
eral panic-stricken "cluck,
clucks,” and a hysterical chourus
of cackles-
This sort of action on the part
of a black serge skirt was too
unusual for even a New York
policeman to' overlook and he
took the woman with the cack
ling skirt to the Madison street
station.
When searched by the matron
six chickens scrambled out of
capacious pockets on the under
side of the woman’s skirt. It
took the reserves a wild half
hour to recapture the fowls.
The woman said her name was
Mary Spoolta. She expressed
surprise and indignation against
the chickens for crawling under
her skirkts and jumping into the
pockets.
How One-Horse Farmers
Can Work Together.
Three years ago my brother
was not taking any farm paper
and I was reading one. I told
him to let us join together and
prepare our land and he would
not agree at the start, but did
later. He said we would try a
few acres each. He seemed to
think that one of us would be do
ing nothing while the other was
plowing, I told him we could find
something to do. If not, it
would pay to do nothing. So we
tried it and it paid so well, the
next year he wanted to try a lit
tle more, and it did finer than
ever. And so this year he want
ed to break it all or not plant it,
and so I told him we needed more
tools; a two-horse plow was not
enough, so we got a disk harrow,
a spike-tooth harrow, cole plant
er and weeder. By adding the
harrows this year we made a
much better seed-bed, and I be
lieve we will make two-fifths
more corn than before, consider
ing five weeks and five days of
drouth.
We agreed last spring we
would tty to raise more sweet
potatoes, so we studied some
plan to save them easy. I have
a little hillside. We went near
the footof the hill and started our
race. We want to go 40 feet un
der the ground; and digas many
stalls on each side as we need,
and we have got about done.
Some said when we got under we
would have to take a light with
us. We did not; we used a look
ing glass at the end of the race
and it gives good light.
We swapped work ingathering
our crops. When it pays, we use
a two-horse wagon instead of a
one-horse wagon. We use a one
horse wagon a great deal carry
ing home produce and vegetables
to market as we have a great
deal to sell. We make one trip a
week. We live six miles from
town. He takes my produce one
week and I take his next so that
cuts half of our time out. By
doing that way we save 13 days
a year each. —John Wright in

Medical Opinions On The
Teeth.
Dr. Osier, the eminent medi
cal authority, says: "There is
not a single thing more important
to the public in the whole range
of hygiene than the hygiene and
! care of the mouth. If I were
asked to say whether more phy
sical deterioration was produced
by alcohol or by defective teeth.
1 should unhesitatingly say de
fective teeth.”
