Official Or ran of Henry County. M -Donough, Ga., April 2, 1015 But One Road To Improvement. There is a limit to the extent to which a man may go in his pro gress as an individual and alone. His own endeavors, unrelated to those of his fellows about him, cannot take him very far. Butieth'm join his efforts to those of his fellows who are pur suing the same line and then the limns to his growth are removed and none can estimate what such united efforts can accomplish. The great war now waging in Europe has conclusively taught one fact: that “no man liveth to himself.” Determine that you will depend solely upon youi own efforts, that you will seek counsel of no per son, that you will join your efforts to no other person's efforts, that you will be absolutely independ ent, and you have practically de termined upon a slow death by your own hands. Those of us who were • not aware of this fact have learned it from the war by being awakened to the fact that all the ptoples of the earth were closely associated in many kinds pursuits, whether we knew it or not. We shall this lesson only in-proportion as we'enterjn to a closer co-operation in all our pursuits. This is true of any business. None have labored more than we to bring about this co-operation among the newspapers. But we now think especially of the farmers. The progressive farmers have for some years now been preaching the doctrine that cattle raising by our farmers is a way out of our financial and one crop difficulties. They have been doing this for several years now :and can you not see the good re sults? In many spots of our State <*old storage plants are being es tablished, at once to care for the meat produced and encourage the increased production of it. Our friend, Mr. J. 0. Ruther ford, is one of the poineer preach ers of this class. He is making it possible for every farmer to im prove the breed of his cattle with a beginning of what cattle he may now possess, without the enor mous expense of restocking his farm entirely. His advertisement appears in this issue of The Weekly. Inspect the Battle Fields. Not by going to them, but j by bringing them to you. We have secured a limited num ber of copies of a 32 page War Atlas ot' Europe, with detail maps tn colors of each country. Wmle our supply lasts, we iiu ve you the following offers: i.

About a year ago we put in service an Aberdeen- Angus hull with our native cows. If there are any doubting “Thomases” around we would be glad they would take a good look at some of these crosses [al though quite young] and note how thick, low-set, round, compact, fine in bone, soft hair, mellow skin, rich color, and fine head. Keep a close watch on these young calves and watch how rapidly they grow and fatten. The sire of these calves gained rs high as eighty-eight (88) pounds in thirty days—and I was not trying to fatten him. 1 say wat. n these crosses when they eet old enough to put on rhe grass and see them sued their baby coats and put on a fine glossy “dress suit” and round up into the ‘ldeal” cattle. I have in service now one of the very best you~*g bulls that can be found. He is rivht closely related to the best the breed has ever produced—and “blood will tell ” It will more than pay any man to breed his cows to this animal and have coming along a “Black Brigade” that Will turn dollars and pleasure your way when the price of cotton is low.
