1 %
No Increase In Maximum Rates.
Slight Raise In Quantity
Rate for Space.
CHANGE IN RATE ON BANK STATEMENTS A?ID OBITUARIES.
As we announced some months ago, there has been a general revis
ion of advertising rates of The Weekly taking effect on January 1,
1913, and for the issue of January 3, 1913.
This slight raise is necessitated by the high increse during the
year now closing in the price of paper and printers’ supplies, and
also in the freight rates on the same. Jit ere has been an average
increse of twenty per cent in material.
The regular rate of 15 cents an inch for each insertion will re
main unchanged.
A slight change is made in the quantity rate:
All advertisers who will, on or before February 1, 1913, agree to
use in The Henry County Weekly, during the year 1913, as much
acNotisirg space as will aggregate 500 inches, and will hand ;n their
copy to the Editor cr at the office not later than Wednesday morn
ing at 9 o’clock of the week wh.*n sane is to be published, we shall,
for that, period give the special rate of 12 cents an inch.
Such spate n ay be used in such quantities and such issues of the
year 1913 as the advertisers may wish, statements to be rendered
monthly as heretofore.
The former classifications of page, half page, and quarter page
wifi be eliminated and all charges made per inch. Of course orders
for page, etc., will be taken, but charged at the inch rate, 90 inches
to the page, and fraction? of a page in proportion.
The word limit of 1200 words to the page and 600 to the half page
remain the same, ,
Minimum charge for single insertion of display remains the same,
50 cents.
LOCALS.
Per line of 5 1-2 words, 8 cents. Each Heading, Signature and ad
dress is counted as a line when each occupies a line alone.
Minimum charge 25 cents.
When more than one insertion of Locals, without any change of
copy, is ordered when copy is first furnished, the price of each in
sertion after the first will be one-half of the price of the first, or 4
cents per line.

Farmers' Course In Agriculture.
Dear farmers:
I am deeply interested in better
farming and want to do everything
possible to assist you in bringing
about the desired end. Hence I
am addressing this letter to you
through your county paper, I
want to be of service to you not
only through the Boy’s Corn
Clubs, but in any other way pos
sible.
I am writing to suggest that you
take advantage of the Fanners’
Ten Day Short Course offered by
the State College of Agriculture,
Athens, Ga., beginning January
2nd, 1913 and continuing through
January 14th.
I know a farmer in Sumter Coun
ty who took this ten-day short
course in 1910. Before that time
he was thought of as only a com
mon farmer. As a result of that
teu-day course lie has revolution
ized the farming in his community
and other farmers took the course
in 1911 and 1912.
Your railroad fair there and
back and your expenses while in
Athens should not exceed $25.00
and I know the benefit you will
receive from the course will be
repaid to you a hundred fold.
You see you can go at a time when
you are least busy.
Athens is a beautiful city, a
place where you will be glad to
visit. You are entitled to a vaca
tion after a year’s work and there
is no better way nor place to take
it.
I shall be there and shall be
glad to be of any service to you in
making the trip a most pleasant
and profitable one. If you con
template going, please notify me at
once and I shall be glad to have
literature sent to you.
I hope many of you farmers will
go; I know it will pay you.
Sincerely,
J. K. GILES,
District Agent Boys' Corn Clubs
and School Extension.

Sold Hogs by Telephone
A South Carolina farmer had a large number
of hogs which were ready to kill. The weather
was so warm that killing was out of the question.
He went to his telephone, called a dealer in
Columbia over Long Distance and sold his hogs
at a good price. He then called the local freight
office and arranged for shipment.
The telephone is now a necessity on the farm.
You can have one on your farm at small cost.
