some house of worship.
“Where are you going to spend

“Where are you going to suet d
eternity?”
The boy who wastes his
money smoking cigarettes and
“matching” for the dopes are
not the material out of which a
good husband is made.
Say, voting man, when you
are using cuss words that al

you ever think of the prayers of
that old gray haired mother
now in Paradise.
How many young men of the
present time heed the admonition
to “Remember thy Creator in the

Once in a while to eadi mortal
There comes a glorious day,
When he can happ [v chortle,
“Troub'e, get out of my way.
I’m full of gi ger and vigor,
See how inv wings are unfurl
ed!
‘Am I the works? I should sr ig
ger!
Siltin’ on top of the world!"
—Butler Heiald.
Some one lias suggested that

Unßss something happens to
the crop within the next two weeks
Coweta county will make some
cotton nothing like an average
crop, of course, because of the
largely decreased acreage, but
considerably more than was made
last year. Anyhow we’ve got a
good peanut crop, and most far
mers will make enough corn and
forage to run them another year
—so why worry?
—Newra l Herald.
With ell due respect to a con
siderable number of good men
who are members of the Georgia
legislature, ihe Tribune believes
it would be a blessing to the state
if some sensible substitute could
be discovered and this annual
dowwow abolished altogether.
—Walton Tribune.
The trouble in Georgia, how
evei —truth to say — is that out
side influences play too important
ii part in our legislatives affairs
I here are too many legislators
who want to use their positions as
a stepping stone to something else
—too many of them “playing poli
tics,” building fences and sharpen
ing their Kriver. They are try
ing to st rve their ow n interests
instead of the state or the counties
that send them to the legislature.

The National Hog
And Cattle Show
Proof of a Revolution in the
Hog and Cattle Raising
of the South.
Atlanta, Ga. —There is no greater
ifactor in improvement of breed of
#iogs and cattle on the farms of the
country than the National Hog and
Cattle Show held each year under the
auspices of the Southern Swine Grow
er’s Association and the Southern
Cattlemen’s Association, and which
; is officially a part of the Southeastern
Fair to be held October 6 to 13 this
year.
That this improvement has been
wonderful is admitted by all well in
formed people, and everybody knows
that there can be no comparison be
tween the scrub cows and the woods
rooters of even ten years ago, and
the beautiful and productive catttle
and hogs of today.
There will be thousandsof dollars
in prizes for Herefords, Shorthorns,
Aberdeen-Angus, Jerseys, Guernseys,
Holstein-Friesians and Ayrshires;
breeds which were practically un
known to most of the farmers of the
.last generation. Dairying and cheese
making is going forward by leaps and
bounds in Georgia and you will be sur
prised to find out how many cheese
factories are operating in the state.
Thousands of dollars also will be
awarded to owners of hogs; Duroc-j
Jerseys, Hampshires, Poland-Chinas
and Berkshires alone will draw more
than $4,000 in prizes.
There will be a fat cattle and a
fat hog department of the show, and
car-load exhibits of “feeders” and
“grain fed” cattle.
No man who sees the stock shown
here can ever be satisfied with scrub
stock in his barnyard, and no boy who
sees it will ever own any scrub stock
at all, and whether you arq a stock
man or not you will be interested in
seeing what the pure-bred stock in
dustry has accomplished in our state
and section within the last few years.
