COTTON MUSIC FOR
THE COTTON (iINNERS
Invited To Attend The
Twelfth District Fair
At Dublin.
Judging from the big noise
they are making up in Dublin
over the Twelfth District Fair it
is going to be a whopper. Peo
ple from over the Twelfth Dis
trict are just beginning to realize
that this is a district fair and not
a county fair. Most of the coun
ties of the Twelfth Congressional
District will have county exhibits
and will send a large delegation
i to the fair.
The Special “Cotton Ginner’s
Day” that has been arranged is
one of the greatest strokes of en
terprize that we have ever heard
of.
The enterprising business men
of Dublin, headed by Mr. J. M.
i Finn, of the Georgia Warehouse
and Compress Co., are arranging
to give theginnersof the Twelfth
District a big barbecue dinner on
this day and in the afternoon
will give demonstrations at one
of the modern cotton gins, show
ing the best known methods of
ginning cotton. The ginners will
also be the guests of the Georgia
Warehouse and Compress Co.,
during the afternoon and will
witness a demonstration of the
compressing of cotton. These
exercises have been arranged on
behalf of the cotton ginners to
| encourage and promote the bet
ter ginning and baling of cotton,
and will be of unusual interest
land benefit to every cotton gin
ner attending the demonstration.
The Fair Association asks us to
extend through the columns of
our paper a cordial invitation to
every ginner in Montgomery
county to attend thi« exhibition,
which will be on Thursday, No
vember 6th. Every ginner ex-
I pecting to be present will please
notify Mr. j. M. Finn, Chairman,
Dublin, Ga., advising him wheth-
I er or not you will be present, and
if so whether or not you will be
j accompanied by your wife and
children. Special arrangements
are being made for the entertain
ment of the wives and children
of cotton ginners.
We commend the good people
of Dublin and the Fair Associa
tion for this enterprising ven
ture. which will be of such bene
j fit to the ginners throughout this
1 section.

There many lies being told to bluff the farmer
' : out of his cotton and keep him from filling his contract
with this Corporation. This Corporation is for the pur-
N pose of getting for the farmer the worth of his cotton.
Who else is doing this? Don’t go for advice to men who
are fattening on you —use your own brains and get out of
bondage. We shall Get 15c Per Pound For Every Bale
Os Cotton Delivered To Us, and next year we shall be
7- ; in business to get it again for those who are with us this
'& year,
