Ward Farm Demon strator. This is a remarkable re cord, and in spite of the fact there were $200.00 in specinl prizes off ered iu Fulton county that, other counties than JFulton could not compete for, we still show to have won,more money in cash prizes than in any county in the state of Georgia this year. Fulton and Bibb counties come next in the or der named. This record made with more than twenty of the most progress ive counties of the State competing is one that our Pig Club Members and their efficient head Mr. P. II. Ward may well be proud of. The splendid winnings made the last two seasons by the Grady Pig Club Members hns already had the effect of greatly stimulating interest among the boys and girls of the county and there is little 10.00 6.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 4.00 TOO 0.00 GOODE CARR WINS $90.00 WITH THREE PIGS AT THE FAIRS Goode Carr fitted three pigs in the Pig Club for the fall fairs and an Examination of the list of win nings printed in this issue will show that he won in prizes on those, $90.00. Little Miss Guthrie Bodiford fit ted two pig) and the records show that she won on these, sixty dol lars. Such results ns these ard bound to inspire the Pig Club members to even greater efforts next year and we look for flic best lot of pigs to be raised by the club members next year that they have yet raised. HESTER-TUGGLE One of the most interesting wed- djdgS ever oceurcd in Grady coun ty was that of Miss Rubic Bell Hester to Mr. Watson Tuggle, Tliipli took place at the homo of the brides parents, last Sunday atter-noon at 3 o’clock. Rev. J. J. Johnson performing, the cerc- doubt that the next fair season | niony. The room was highly de will see our county making a still better showing at all the fairs. When it is recalled the rapid progress that has been made in hog raising in this county since the work of the Pig Clubs was first introduced, some little idea can be formild of the valve to the general interest of tho ebunty that comes through this work among the boys and girls. At the time that tho work w as begun among among the boys there were very few hogs in the county except the old native razor back. Today al most every farm has either a pure bred or a high grade boar and hogs of good quality are the rule rather than the exception. This result lias been brought about almost entirely through the work of the Pig Clubs. Every en- eburagement should be continued to keep up interest on the pnrt of tho boys and girls in this lino of work for there is no suerer way of reaching the entire county than in just this way.

Wdolfork Dies Suddenly Wednesday Last Friday just aftornoon fire caught from spnrks from tho chim ney of the syrup furnace of Judge J. E. Hurst and consumed his syr up plant, barn and spread to a vacant residence nearby and before the firo dopnrtracnt could succeed in cheeking the flames this was also destroyed. In addition to the buildings there was a quantity of hay and other forage and several tons of cotton seed destroyed. Tlib stock of Mr. Hurst which was in the barn when tho fire broke out was all saved except one large hog. The burned residence was parti ally covered by insurance. HELP THE WAR STRICKEN COUNTRIES Announcement is made that the way is now open for the distribu tion of funds and supplies in all the War-Stricken countries of Europe and Asia. “The only real difficulty now” said an official of a well known relief organization today, in the way of adequate relief is that the American people do not yet realize the awfu lneed, nor that the need is daily increasing. Ihe recently organized Boysjautoes for Pelham and returned C)lt, Club is destined to bring; to the home of the grooms parents ejually as good results to the, where a delicious supper was ser- count-y in the way of improved horses and mules. Help the boys and you will help the ) entire county. SOME FIGURES \ A few days ago we just happened to hear some gentlemen .discussing the totals of the estimated receipts from two or three of our staple crops this year. Their figures ran something like this:—Three quar ters of a million dollars for the cotton and cotton seed crop, a quarter of a million dollars for the syrup crop, a sum equal to the cot ton crop for the hog crop. We have not looked closely into the matter but we have an idea that those estimates were not so far from the facts in the case. And as wo have quite a number of other sources' of income ^besides those mentioned it is really no wonder that Grady county has been feel ing a bit prosperous of late. vcd. Their many friends wish for them -much joy on the matrimon ial sea. More Hogs This Week Mr. C. R. Beale has bought two more cars of hogs this week • for shipment to Atlanta. One car was loaded at Cairo and one car at Whigham. The hog crop in Gra dy county this year is much larger than ever before. From reports coming to us tho farmers are pre paring to make quite as much ba con as usual in addition to the number that is being shipped away to market. Messers Rushin and Booth have also bought and shipped to Arm our Packing Co., at Jacksonville a car this week from Calvary. Be sure to see the Red Circle at the Alcazar. J.E. Wright, M. D.

The mysteries of the "Shielfling Shadow and Ravengar” arc mysteries that are more intens- ly interesting, more terrifying and more baffling than tho mystery of the “Laughing Mask” in the “Iron Claw.”
