A Spirit Sweeping The State.
It is the board of trade spirit.
The city of Albany has raised a
fund of $6,500 for its Board of
Trade to spend this year. The De
catur Board of Trade will use
SI,OOO exclusively for advertising.
Madison and Greensboro have
just organized such bodies and
the former city has raised $2,500.-
00. LaGrange’s body of boosters
has been advertising in Chicago
for several months and now has
secured one large industry as a
result and is about to secure an
other.
In an editorial Tuesday the Con
stitution says that “That is the
spirit that is fast taking possession
of every town and city in Georgia
and which will, in the long run, be
responsible for intensive develop
ment in every direction on a scale
never before dreamed.”
McDONQUGH MUST MOVE, if
she would keep within even hail
ing distance of these her sister
cities. We have raised practically
nothing as yet in the way of funds
to make McDonough move.
And yet we have accomplished
much. We had a most credit
able county fair. We have secur
ed free public schools. We have
brought about in our citizenship
a nearer approach to a spirit of
brotherhood and helpfulness and
tolerance and forbearenee, be
cause of the opportunity our
Board of Trade has offorded the
citizens of voicing their beliefs
and convictions and hopes and of
having them heard with interest
and thoughtfulness and respectful
consideration.
What may McDonough not do
if she will really awake now and
approach to other cities of simi
lar size in her readiness to pro
vide the means with which to
wage our war for growth?
Let us dare to dream. Let our
city be as a city set on a hill, shed
ding forth its light to all about.
Then in such a city it will be
come each of us as citizens to ask
the question of ourselves, “are
you reflecting the light or are you
absorbing it and so depriving
somebody or some worthy cause?”
If you have not already done so,
join the Board of Trade.
If you are a member, get busy
to make it mean much for McDon
ough.
School Election Results.
Tuesday’s election seems not to
have been marred by a single un
fortunate incident, either before
or after or during the election
day.

on both sides of the question
have exercised and carried into
action a rare spirit of tolerance.
Those who favored the propo
sition did no seem to criticise at
all ; those who opposed it. On the
contrary they seemed to regard
their opponents as having a n
equal right with themselves to a
respect for the honest convictions
of each. All appeared to have
toward their fellows the charity
of attributing to them all honesty
in their beliefs.

and seem not to have a regret
strong enough to make them will
ing to stand in the way of the city’s
welfare.
We really think that it has
been an exceptional event in these
respects.
McDonough is not divided,
nothing has occured in it all to
pull asunder.
Let McDonough’s people look
up and go forward to still greater
things.

| Land Value Aimost Doubled
«HEN a Lee county, Illinois, farmer
' 'iiyvi bought a run down 400-acre farm,
-|Tw his neighbors thought he had made a
ly t> a d bargain. After three years’ soil
treatment by scientific methods, he
raised more than eighty bushels of corn to the
acre on land that produced less than thirty
bushels the first year he farmed it.
It is no longer unusual for us to *get reports
from farmers who have been using manure
spreaders consistently for periods ranging from
three to five years, to the effect that their land
is regularly raising so much more produce that
the value of the land is almost doubled.
I H C Manure Spreaders j
are made in various styles and sizes to meet |
all conditions. The low machines are not too
low to be hauled, loaded, through deep mud or
snow. IH C spreaders are made with trussed
steel frames in wide, medium and narrow &
styles; all of guaranteed capacity. There are
both return and endless aprons. In short,
there is an I H C spreader built to meet your
conditions and made to spread manure, straw,
lime, or ashes as required. |
I H C spreaders will spread manure evenly
on the level, going up hill, or down. The I
wheel rims are wide and equipped with Z-shaped
lugs, which provide ample tractive power. The
rear axle is located well under the body and
carries most of the load. The apron moves
on large rollers. The beater drive is posi
tive, but the chain wears only one side. The |
I H C dealer wdl show you the most effective
machine for your work. You can get cata
logues from him, or, if you prefer, write |
