The county, district and state
fairs to be held this fall mean a
great deal more than the biggest
pumpkin on the longest vine.
They insure greater yields and
liner stock in Georgia.
While you are getting ready to
stamp out the life of the onrush
ing blight of the boll weevil try
the methods prescribed for the
destruction of the corn weevil.
I |e has lieen eating up your profits
ever since corn was planted in
this country.
A news item from Chattanooga
tells how a coffin and casket
company was doing a big busi
ness by shipping whiskey in the
coffins sent out. Putting whis
key in coffins is a very small
matter when compared with the
millions who have been put into
their coffins by whiskey.
There is much speculation as
to what the- exact nature of the
bills on prohibition, to be con
sidered at the extra session of
the legislature next month, will
be. We are glad to note that a
majority of the weekly papers of
the state are squarely against
the traffic in the stutr that causes
more crime and misery than all
the other demoniacal forces of
earth combined.
It is an established fact that
automobiles have played a larger
part in the making of good roads
than any other incentive. No
one was willing to spend millions
to build good roads for the old
farmer to get to town and spend
his money with the merchant,
but the aforesaid old farmer will
enjoy the benefits and incident
profits of good roads, regardless
of why they were made.
The Twelfth District
Fair in Dublin.
We take special pleasure in
calling the attention of Mont
gomery county farmers to the no
tice of the Twelfth District Fair
to be found in this paper. For
years we have attempted to show
the good results that must come
from these annual gatherings for
the betterment of our farming
interests. We would not retract
a single line we have ever written
on the subject, but more than
ever we would urge the partici
pation of our people in these fairs.
No other means of progressive
education in right methods of
farming, which means better
methods of living, has ever been
found to take the place of that
interchange of ideas and plans 1
than the county or district fair.
You see with your own eyes the
result of intelligent culture and
breeding, and have impressed i
more deeply on your mind what
properly directed elTort can ac
complish.
A fair for Montgomery has
b >en one of our hobbies, but we
have failed, so far, to enlist any
one who w ill take the lead and
push the matter even to a begin
ning. But our more progressive
neighbors are enjoying the bene
fits of social and business inter
course as furnished by the
Twelfth District Fair, and noth
ing would please us more than to
have some of our Montgomery
county farmers make an exhibit
at the fair in Dublin on Nov. 8-13.
It will Ik* worth while for any
Montgomery county farmer to
attend the fair. It is safe to say
that no intelligent farmer can
spend even one day at the fair
and not be enlightened on farm
ing and live stock ruising.

Butler Herald:—“America is
swimming in gold," says a bank
er of note. Possibly so, but darned
if we can connect up with a bath
ing suit.
Pembroke Enterprise: The
farmer, the merchant, the bank
er and in fact all business men
say that the good times are re
turning. Since so many talk the
same way there must be some
thing to it, but it is taking old
good times a long time to get
around in our neighborhood.
Hartwell Sun: —We’ve about
come to the conclusion that one
of those darn German subma
rines has struck our ship and
she’s never coming in.
Lyons Progress:- Everything
indicates that the Toombs County
Fair is going to be a rousing suc
cess. There will be displayed
here an array of agricultural
products that will be hard to find
a rival.
Monticello News:- Boys’ farm
clubs is a new plan being foster
ed by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and one which will,
no doubt, meet with instant fa
vor among the young fellows on
the farm.
Dublin Courier-Herald:—All of
the pro-British newspapers in
this country can tell why Ger
many is going to lose ultimately,
but they cannot explain the
Kaiser,s tremedous successes to
date.
Nashville Herald: —Business is
good; money is plentiful: the
goose hangs high; everything is
chicken. So quit looking long
faced and smile some.
Macon News: —It is claimed
that buttermilk will make a per
son fat. Probably so, but it has
never caused a man to pawn his
wife’s earrings and invest the
money in snake spit,
lice Co. Journal: —The Journal
hopes that the recent advances
in the cotton market will not
cause the farmers to go wild over
the fleecy staple again. We are
afraid that next year, should the
i present price hold, that they will
plant even their garden spot in
cotton.
Cordele Dispatch: There is a
wide difference between abstract
good and concrete wrong. We
would be glad to see the abstract
succeed the concrete, but are in
clined to believe this is to take
place in the world to come.
Valdosta Times: In his trip
from Washington City to Miami. ;
Col. Bryan managed to get out
at all of the stations and have
himself interviewed. Bryan likes
the limelight about as well as any
man who has ever been in it.
Monroe Advertiser: If some
of these folks don’t believe Geor
gia’s a dry state, just let ’em
take a trip along some of these
middle Georgia roads. Indeed.
Albert says the water’s so dry in
some of the crooks in this county
that it’s all cracked open on toil
just like a dried-up mud hole.
Darien Gazette: —The corn boys
and canning girls (bless them)
are preparing for the big Decem
ber corn show in Atlanta. We
wish there were a million more
in Georgia. They are certainly ,
great.
Perry Home Journal:—This
year Georgia farmers have sold
products they never sold before,
and next year such sales will be
very largely increased. The in
vasion of the diminutive cotton
boll weevils will make such pro
cedure absolutely necessary.

Brooks County Goes
The Whole Hog.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 2.—Brooks
County will have a unique exhib
it at the Georgia State Fair here
next month. The exhibit is to be
made in the form of a huge hog,
with pieces of cured meats ag
gregating 100,000 pounds. It
will be decorated with stalks and
ears of corn, and the display will
occupy an entire building.
Allies Gaining Ground.
Paris, Sept, 30. —On the Wes
tern front the British and French
have captured in two days more
than 20,000 unwounded prison
ers, according to the French of
ficial communication issued to
night.
New progress by the French
north of Arras is reported, where
Souchez was stormed and cap
tured.
In Champagne the allied forces
still continue to gain ground. The
statement reads:
“Our attack north of Arras
has realized fresh progrsss. We
have occupied by sheer force all
the village of Souchez and have
advanced toward the east in the
direction of Givenchy.
Candler Planters to
Grow More Grain.
Metter, Ga., Oct. 3. —With this
year's experience in reducing the
acreage and using just half the
amount of fertilizer commonly
used the farmers are thoroughly
convinced that it is the best idea.
The leading planters state that
they will continue to plant a re
duced acreage in cotton. Each
year finds the farmers in this
section growing more grain and
raising more stock. An excep
tional good wheat crop was made
this year in Candler county and
ground right in Metter, and the
farmers are now eating home
made bread from home-grown
wheat.

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Yean of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—ln an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains
In my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
Seaboard to Expand.
New York, Oct. 2. —Direc-
tors of the Seaboard Air Line
had an adjourned monthly meet
ing here today when the com
pany’s proposed policy of finan
cial expansion was further dis
cussed. It was stated, however,
that no action in this connection
was taken.
According to plans now under
consideration the directors are to
authorize the issue of a new
mortgage for approximately
$300,000,000, which will embrace
various existing underlying issues
and bring the several tributaries
of the road into one comprehen
sive system. In connecting its
various subsidiaries, it is proposed
to seek entrance to two additional
seaports and construct double
tracks along important parts of
the main line.
He Removed the
Danger Signal
"1 suffered a long time with
a vr - y weak back,” writes Fred
Smith, 325 .Main St., Green Bay, Wis.
"A few boxes of Foley Kidney Pills
completely relieved me of all soreness
and pain in the back, and now I am
as strong and well as ever.”
One cannot help becoming nervous
and .feeling tired and worn out when
the kidneys fall to filter and throw
out of the system the poisonous waste
matter that causes kidney troubles
and bladder ailments.
Backache is one of Nature’s danger
signals that the kidneys are clogged
up and Inactive. It is often followed
by rheumatism, annoying bladder or
urinary disorders, puffy swellings
under tile eyes, swollen ankles and
painful Joints.
Foley Kidney Pills get right at the
source of trouble. They invigorata
the kidneys to healthy action and
when the kidneys properly perform
their functions the poisonous waste
matter la eliminated from the system.
