On the following week, however, the week beginning with Monday, the 21st instant, The Weekly will be published as usual and regular ly thereafter. This is in keeping with our annual custom established by our predecessors and continued by us, that both our readers and we may have a rest. How to Get What We Want. There are so many things which McDonough needs. Above all she needs more peo ple. More people mean more business, more trade and more money. Before the people will come they must be invited. When they have been invited, they will not then come until we offer them some inducements. One of the greatest attractions a town can offer to prospective residents is excellent school facil ities. And here lies one of McDon ough’s greatest needs; it needs more room in its buildings prop erly to care for the school attend ance which it could secure, if it only had them. McDonough needs a public park. The Daughters of the Confederacy need to be aided liberally in their efforts to make a park at Big Spring. McDonough neees streets and bridges and sidewalks. McDonough needs advertising. But we have many needs and some of them are pressing needs. There is a way to supply these needs. A Board of Trade for our town will do more in that direction than any other one thing. Some have formed an idea that the object of the contemplated Board of Trade is merely to pro tect our merchants against bad debts. This may be thought by a few to be its only object. And it can easily and properly be one of the lines of such a body’s work. But it ought never to be its principle object at all. Its work should be far broader and of concern to a greater num ber of people. Such a body should be organ ized along the most unselfish lines and should take up with vigor and energy any move looking to the good and progress of our city.

The Weekly publishes this week a list of prizes offered to the Girls Canning Club and Boys Corn Club. That is, a list as it now stands. Many more prizes will be added, for not more than half of the people in the county who are interested in the work have been approached on the subject as yet. These prizes will be offered for the best exhibit at the county fair made by the members of these clubs. And our county fair is going to he a great success too. The farm ers and merchants and other business interests are taking an active interest in it and will make a success of it. County School Superintendent j O. 0. Tolleson and Co-operative I Farm Demonstration Field W rk erJ. B. Brown are working daily at arousing the people to the op portunity the fair presents W all our people’s coming together and observing what we have accom plished. It is fitting that especial en couragement in their work should be given the girls and boys. For, if they be not interest in the farm work and life, we shall see an other generation abondoning the field and seeking the cities. Work for our fair! Lovejoy Live Topics. Rain, Rain, the oldest citizens dont remember seeing just such a spring; the farmers can scarcely plow one day in each week, crops are indeed sorry, cotton small and late, and some of it very grassy. ; Can’t make over a half crop at best. If the rainy weather con i tinues much longer the crop will be short. The corn crop is sorry, so was the wheat and oat crop, provisions are high and the far mers used more guano than ever before. Somebody is going to get left this fall, unless cotton brings 15 to 20 cents per pound. The Fourth of July has come and gone. Several Lovejoy citi zens attended the annual singing at Mt. Carmel and reported a lqrge crowd and a good time and some fine music. A. V. M. locals. Mrs. G. W.
