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 er. Horse lor Sale.

Vernon Drug Co.'s. ad 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 Progressive Farmer. 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.” Du. L. W. Bush, ad Soperton, Ga.
