MAKE YOUR PLANS
FOR GOOD EXHIBITS
THE COUNTV FAIR TO BE HELD
ON NOVEMBER THE 13-14TH
SHOULD BE ONE OF THE
. BEST IN THE STATE.
On November the 13th and 14th;
Newton coun.y will hold her first
county fair and there is absolutely nq
'•eason why "his should not be a suc¬
cess from every standpoint.
This is the first fair to be held and
will decide the question whether New
ton county will continue to have fairs
or not The Poultry Association, the
Live Stock Association and the Boy*
Corn Club, have combined this year J|
rhe first: Wme and., along with thea*’
there wilt be a_ display'rt'-agdqulttiral
products of the county. This county
nas Md heretofore a poultry sho\j
t d a live stock show held at sepea
rate times that have not been beateu
in the sta. The Boys corn club ha?
made . good showing. Combining
tnese three popular exhibits with the
agricultural products of the count|
should make a show that will be
worth coming many miles to see.
We ui gently request all farmers tc
begin pi ©paring their exhibits NOW’
Save yom best products and put then
in a safe place. Get your cattle in
good shape. Cull your poultry. Worft
oi tka* colt and get him in good con
dition for the show. If we can pull
off a good fail this fall there will In
dll likelihood be a fair association
termed Ln the county and next yea’,
we can have buildings and pens fo<
the cattle. Putnam, Coweta, Whit
field and a score of other counties in
the state have these fairs annually
and their cattle and poultry are not i
a class with curs. They can raise
no better farm products than we can
but they have made their beginning
and see the good derived therefrom
NOW i our time. Let’s have a goo .
one to start with.

parts of the world.
What nation claims that exploration
had been made on this continent A.
D. 1000?

o” an Italian gentleman who had ac¬
quired fame as a navigator, and in
this way Columbus came in poseessio
of papers which increased and intensi¬
fied hie- strong passion for nautical
life and adventure. Why did he not
leceive aid from his own country for
his explorations?
6. To discover a new continent was
no part of his enterprise, but for
what reason was he so anxious to
discover a western route to India?
7. Observations of the earth’s shad
cw on the moon during eclipses, and
other considerations made him believ
-the world was round.
Driftwood from the west sometimes
floated on the coast of Maderia, alsc
dead bodies of two men of u-nknowi
race What conclusion did Columbia
draw from these facts?
9. What event of his voyage mat -

FILES SUIT AGAINST
GA. R. R. FOR $5,000
MR. FRANK E. HOOD WAS PUT
OFF TRAIN NEAR ALMON FRI¬
DAY MORNING AND WANTS
HEAVY DAMAGES.
Mr. Frank E. Hood a traveling man
from Sparta boarded Georgia train No.
2 at Almon last Friday morning, boun
for Covington. When the conductor
came for the tickets Mr. Hood offer¬
ed the conductor, 10c, the price of the
ticket from Almon -to Covington. This
tte conductor refused to take and
demanded 14c. Mr. Hood told the
conductor, Mr Clem Bailey, that the
agent at Almon was not at his office
and that he was unable to buy a
t’cket, therefore he did not think that
he should be made to pay more than
the regular price of a ticket. After a
snort discussion the conductor pulled
the erd and put Mr. Hood off the
train. Mr. Hood claims that after the
conductor pulled the cord that he
offered him 14c. which he refused.
Mr. Hood was about one and one
half miles from Almon station. He
strolled back up the track to Almon
and telephoned for a horse and buggy
from Covington. He came in town
and went to the law offices of Rogers
& Knox where he filed suit for ac¬
tual and yunity damages for $5,000.
The suit is returnable to the January
term of the Newton Superior court.
It is not known what the railroad’s
case may be. The above is Mr. Hood
side of the question and if he can
prove that it happened that way he
will no doubt be awarded damages.
