Adair’s Double-Page Ad.
We call attention to the double
page “ud” of W. L Adair which
appears in this issue, This is the
largest single advertisement that
ever appeared iu Newton county
and is characteristic of this enter
prising merchant. If Adair has
something specially cheap to sell
he believes in telling all the peo¬
ple about it and the result is that
he has built up one of the most
prosperous businesses to be found
in this section.
An exchange says few' people
know that the Hessian fly is one
of the oldest of the crop pests in
this country and that its name
was given it from the fact that it

to fight the Amers in 1770.

PROF. G. C. ADAMS
Writes of His Visit to South Geor¬
gia and Tift Couuty.
Mr. Editor :
Last, week I hud the pleasure of
visiting some good friends in the
new-county rf Tift, Messrs J. M.
Davis, Joe Hollis, Henry Harris
and John Davis and their families
all live in this county. These old
Newton and Wallou friends seem
delighted w.th their new homes.
I he new county spirit is very
nu.'h ? bv y- It is all the talk and
a forward u ovement in social po
litical and educational lines is on
in a strenuous way. The people
had just held two meetings in Tif
ton, the county seat, to discuss the
building of a fine modern school
building in the town and connect
it with a whole county system by
local taxation under the recent
McMitchael law. it was notable
that I did not find a man in the
town or county (and I met many
citizens from different sections of
the county) but that he favored
the new Bcbool law. They believe
this law will improve their present
school system very much and put
their couuty among the foremost
educationally in the state.
I e: pfcc ed to find the lands
cheap and purchasable anywhere
m toaj section, but was decidedly
mistaken. Many farms are not on
the market and the flattering pros¬
pects foi* every settlement and de¬
velopment of their unimproved
farms catise the owners to hold
them iu high esteem. These lands
lie well, ore free from rocks and
are easily tilled whin the stumps
are taken out. Desirable farms
several miles from town sell for
from $16 to $80 per acre.
The .climate and water seem to
ne benltlnul while thn water is
above ten degrees warmer than
ours, yet it has a rather pleasant
seft taste. It seems pure and sat¬
isfies thirst as well as ours.
On the whole, this section of the
state is undeveloped, the most of
the area yet being Jin pines from
which the people receive large pro
fits in lumber and turpentine.
If we forget the stumps and
slushes and scarcity of nice farm
houses, we have in this coming
new section a county to compare
favorably with Old Newton, the
most God-favored section, as I see
it this side Paradise.

Shepherd’s Moving Pictures.
Among the attractions an¬
nounced for appearance at the Op¬
era House in the near future is
Archie L. Shepherd’s High Class
Moving Pictures. This attraction
needs no introduction to the thea¬
tre going public, as they have be¬
come established among the best
in the country in their especial
line of amusement. This season
offers an entirely new and unique
program made up of the best to be
had iu animated photographic pro¬
ductions. New mechanical effects
and ii ven'ions for ihe reproduc
t ions of the sounds as represented
in the action of the scenes, add
•nate: ally to the enjoyment of the
pictures. Special attention will
be given to the educational feat¬
ure!, f ud excellent scenes of travel
ar.d history take a prominent part
in ct entertainment. However,
the comedy element predominated
throughout, and there is plenty of
strong dramatic features to hold
the interest of the audience. Nov.
