The Interests of Town And Country are Merged. The resources of the country have built up the trade of the town and the public improve ments resulting from this wealth have largely been applied to the betterment of the town itself. This being true, many farmers have come to feel that the towns man is selfish, that he seeks the major benefit from a transaction by fixing the price both on what the farmer has to sell and on what he has to buy. It has been well said that the solution is to make the country town'a real part of country life and develop one program for the upbuilding of both town and country. The life of the town cannot be separated from the life of the country. The interests of town and country merge and cross. If the farmers are thrifty, the towns are thrifty. If the farmers are unthrifty, the towns are likely to be dead. The pros perity of the farms is the soul ot the business life of the town. The business interests, the bank er, the merchant, the manufac turer, and all the rest must be come alert to the necessity for creating fair and adequate rela tions with the farmers in their own trade territory, in the in terests of their own greatest ul timate gain.—The Progressive Farmer. Work on Bridge is Rushed. Savannah. Aug. 9.—The Al tamaha bridge, projected last fall by Mills B. Lane, president of the Citizens and Southern Banks, will open to traffic by October 15, it was announced to day. Forty per cent of the con struction work has been com pleted, including a third of the pier building. The remainder of the work will be pushed as rapid ly as is consistent with good building. When completed this bridge will open up a territory that has never been open to Sa vannah—and make access easy from all sections of Middle and North Georgia to one of the richest sections of the State. With the bridge open, connection for motor traffic between Savan nah and all the country about Waycross, Jesup, Valdosta, Thomasville and Jacksonville will be effected. Appling and Tatt nall counties are working on their roads with this view and Liberty and Bryan are planning to have their roads also in good shape for the new traffic via the Alta maha bridge.

Just as popular on the farm as it is in the city. In fact, it fits the family demands in every vocation of life. Large, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate glass windows make it an open car in pleasant weather, while in rainy and inclement weather it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain-proof. It is ideal fer social functions, the theatre, or parties; carrying the children to school, or for touring. It is not only comfortable, but really cozy, and above all, economical in operation and maintenance, and ha 3 all the Ford merits cf mt strength and durability. We solicit your order for one.
