COLLEGE CATALOGUE Handsomely Illustrated Book Tells of Work Being done in This Institution. The advance copies of the 1916 1917 catalogue of the South Georgia Slate Normal college at Valdosta are out. This bulletin is more than an ordinary catalogue; it is an in foresting and instructive book, li might be called a concrete explana tion of'what, the college for young ladicr ougql to be—and is. It is written in language that can be un derstood and is beautifully illustrat ed with many suggestive pictures, One can tell clearly what the in stitution is, what it proposes to do, what it requrics of its students and why it cost so little to attend' li is entirely free of conventional cant and it doesn’t satisfy itself with vague generalizations. The eohego makes some pretty strong claims; but it gives the facts for the claims. It claims, for in stance, as good a faculty as there is in the state, and a good a dorm itory as there is in the south. Then it gives rocords, photographs and -definite statements to prove it. Yon can sec for yourself. It claims to make health and character first essentials.- But it doesn’t stop with .claiming; it tells- how it does what it elaime. It is - all open. It claims a course of study that . - ..best promotes culture ■ and, Jtcfipe-. ment through useful knowledge. It is really u constructive school and invites your investigation. Finally, 'though it dosen’f say anything about its growth, like other colleges it gives Us list of students which shows’ that in its three years of life- it has had a phenomenal growth and usefulness, South Georgia should rally to this its only college. It is the light . kind of college, doing the right kind of work. It is t.obe hoped that a pnrent with a daughter to educate will read this catalogue. Tt will give him ideas.

The Ford auto was purchased of the Cairo Motor Harrison, of Co., and is on display at their sales room. Tire splendid piano was our little -purchased of Cairo Furniture Co. The Buck range from Roddenbery To the Tax Payers of Grady County As it is well known under the old law the time limit of making re turns was June the 20th. Two rears ago the law was changed to May the 1st, no penalty or extra charge has been made against the delinquent returner, although an extra expense is caused by tie de lay. We know how hard it is to get out of habits, but for the best in terest to all wo urge that all returns bo made by May the 1st. In all icw Laws thcro is difference of opinion but in one of such vital inler- xst to every taxpayer there is more 'ban ordinary. Taxes being one of -he most important and yet one of least understood subject. The Tux- Equalization act is like all other laws—efficient in proportion to the sentiment back of it. Tlui purpose of the Equalization act was to in duce people to givo to the State ind county a square deal in making returns of their property, as Arbi trators are to settle disputes be tween neighbors, the Equalizers arc to settle differences of. opinion of Value with the foundation of Equity ind Justice to all.

(CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO) Nut Breads Somebody sent Editor Jcrgcr, of rhomaaville, a piece of .*nut bread, ind he did eat of it, and in his pa per the next, day ho pronounced it good; Nut bread has become a favorite Jiet throughout the Pecan Belt of •Southwest Georgia. It is both meat and bread, and is not only delightful to the palate, but very nutritious to the body. There are several ladies of our icquaintcnancc in Albany who ex cel in the art of making nut bread. There are three or four popular formulas or recipes. Sugar and seeded raisins are used in one of the formulas, but the nut , bread thaf appeals to us is made of pecan nuts ind flour alone, with enough bak ing powder to make it “rise," t arid give it the light fluflincss of a loaf of baker's bread. Recently some of our church la dies have been conducting what Lhcy call a “Saturday Market.” At some convenient place they assem ble nil sorts of good things to eat which are prepared for the conven ience of house-keepers on Sunday. At these Saturday markets nut bread hns become a standard com modity, and “sells like hot cakes.” The possibilities of the pecan nut in the preparation of the family meal arc just now beginning to de velop in our southwest Georgia homes. In due time, however, we may all be extensive nut eaters, and will be the better off for it.— Albany Herald. Bell Asks Return Cotton Tax Money Washington, D. CL, April 13.—' Representative Bell of Georgia to day introduced a bill appropriating to the slate of Georgia $1,000,000 to repay tax money illegally col lected on cotton by* the federal, government between 180$ and 1808 Mr. Bell believes thore is now ii chance to refund to the eleven cot ton states the money collected under this so-called war tax. A special voluntary committee? con sisting of one member from oaeli cotton-growing stale,-is working to secure the approval of the House Committee on Claims, for .those bills.—Savannah Morning News. ' What A Mail Order Merchant Says Tifton Gazette. The statement made by Mr. Herman, Rosonfold, advertising manager for Chicago’s largest mail order house is significant and should throw some light upon the reason • for the success of the mail orders - business. Ho said in a recent nd- : ' dross: “We have a bureau whose duty it is to read each week the country newspapers from all over the coun- - try. There is not a paper'"in our • trade territory that our bureau docs V, - not get. This bureau looks over j.hcsc'pipers, and when wo find a . town whore tht( merchants are not ., advertising in tile? looriPppcr. we immediately flood that, territory' ;i With our literature. It always brings results far in excess of the efforts put,forth in territory where local merchants use their local papers.” In other words, Mr. Roscnfcld says that tho house he managos the advertising campaigns for, takes especial pleasure in going after trade in communities where they find the home merchants arc neglectful of asking the people to buy at home. The Gnzctto enjoys very close re lations with the merchants of Tif ton; it ispatronized extensively; as ’ heavily, perhaps, as the merchants have felt, able to patronize it, and the merchants of Tifton are believ ers in advertising, so tho statement made by th6 advertising manager for Seam, Roebuck & .Company be oh their guard, because it is the unseen letters and. catalogues from the in nil order houses that work more detriment to the success of the homo store, than anything else except, it may be, carlessncss iii buying and supplying the wants of the customers. Mr. R. E. Holton, who lives in •' the castoii part of the county, was a business visitor in our office.last - Saturday.
