Under the very efficient and
able management of our beloved
president, Mrs. J. N. Gary, the

SI,SOU IN
Woman’s Department Will Be a
Special Feature. Many Spe¬
cials Announced. Be¬
gin Plans Now.
The directors of the Newton
County Fair Association met on
Tuesday of this w r eek and au¬
thorized a premium list for this
year of $1,500.00, to be distrib¬
uted among all the departments.
An additional $200.00 was au¬
thorized for the colored people
over the county, who will be
given space for their exhibits,
A special feature of the New¬
ton County Fair will be a sepa¬
ration of the Woman’s Depart¬
ment from the rest of the ex¬
hibits. This department will re¬
ceive its proportionate share of
the premiums. Undoubtedly,
there will be no like department
of any fair in Georgia which will
excell this in the Newton county
lair this fall. In addition there
will be the Agricultural and Live
Stock departments, including
poultry. Special features will
be farm machinery displays and
demonstrations, industrial ex¬
hibits by the different manufac¬
turing concerns, and flower ex¬
hibits.
Now’, it will take a great many
things to make our fair success¬
ful and permanent One of these
is co-operation. We have all got
to work together. There is ab¬
solutely no substitute for this.
Every farmer must feel person¬
ally responsible for the fair. He
should not only prepare some
exhibits himself, but he MUST
URGE HIS NEIGHBOR TO
PREPARE! You had better ask
that neighbor of your every time
you se him, “What are you going
to show at the fair this fall ? Ev¬
ery merchant, every business
man and every other person
must boost our fair, and boost it
NOW! If we will advertise so
as to make it a success, the fair
will be the best organizing fea¬
ture that Newton county ever
had. It will get the county to¬
gether on any and everything as
nothing else has done. It will be
the most profitable educational
feature of the county's activi¬
ties. It will make the people
public spirited and thus produce
strong cultured citizens. If we
will all get together and make
our fair w’hat it should be, every
class of people, business and pro¬
fession in the county will be in
absolute sympathy and accord
with our w r hole county life.
Right now’ is the time to plan
YOUR part of the county fair.
May is the month for collecting
exhibits of the small grains. If
you don’t remind your neighbor,
he will forget to collect grips of
head oats, wheat and rye. It is
too late to gather these things
when the crops have already
been cut and threshed. Get the
small grain exhibits this month.
Plant this month some crops
which you will exhibit at the fair
this fall. Pick out the animals
now that are good individuals,
and begin fitting them.
Let’s make our fair an over¬
whelming success by GETTING
READY NOW.
Belgian Trio Concert Off.
On account of the Illness of
one of the members, the concert
advertised for the Royal Belgian
Trio on Friday night, May 10th.
has been indefinitely postponed,
much to the regret of the pro¬
moters and those who were ex¬
pecting to attend.
GIFT OF A QUEEB.
The Queen of England has pre¬

American troops in England and
France.
SAVINGS gw STAMPS is seventh SALES in
The Call of For $400,00 and the
People Who Have the Money
Are Urged to Respond.
We are Not Slackers.
As the Liberty Bond campaign
is over the time has come again
for active work in buying and
selling War Savings Stamps.
Out of a quota of $57,000,000
for Georgia for the year we have
sold a little over $1,000,000. This
work cannot be accomplished by
waiting for the school children to
do, it can’t be put over by the
other fellow 7 —you must aid in
doing it. You can’t do it by
buying a 25-cent thrift stamp
and thinking you have acted a
patriot. Your duty is $20 worth
for every man, woman and child,
white and black, in the United
States.
The truth about the matter is
that the $20 must come 1
Some people haven’t $20, so
some of the others must go over
$20 each.
The $400,000 to be raised by
Newton county must be raised
by people who have money.
There must be 100 men and
women in our county to buy
$1,000 each. Many must take
$100 to $500 worth. Sunday
school pennies will not do the
work.
Of course the United States
can raise the money without
New'ton county doing her share,
but it would not look well. New
ton county is no slacker and will
not be. She will do her part in
the buying of War Savings
Stamps, as she has done in the
Third Liberty Loan.
Take $4.16 and buy a $5.00
War Savings Stamp. A $5 bill
stays the same value for a hun¬
dred years, but a $4.16 stamp
grows to be w’orth $5 while you
sleep.
Newton county stands seventh
from the top in the State. This
is very gratifying. Let us make
Newton the first on the map.
Hoard no money now—keep it
in War Savings Stamps. Go to
it now, and go to it like you real¬
ly felt an interest in winning the
war. Let’s do our best now 7 , and
next week and next month do it
regain.
Buying Government securities
is the best test of patriotism for
a man w'ho cannot serve in the
trenches or elsewhere. Do all
you can up to $1,000, as no one
person can buy more than $1000.!
Go to it!

URGE CROWD ENJOYED
HI
Vice-President Pleased With
Excellent Behavior and Fu¬
ture Prospects All Over
County.
The ’Newton county singing
convention met with Stewart
church in the western part of the
county on the second Sunday
evening, presided over by the
president, A. J. Johnson. The
leaders on the program were: J.
W. Henderson, S. R. Vaughn,
A. F. Pennington and A. J. John¬
son. Mr. Butler, Mr. Henderson
and the two Misses Butler, from
Cornish Mountain, sang a quar¬
tette which was excellent and ap¬
preciated by the audience. A
duet rendered by the Misses But¬
ler was also fine and was highly
applauded by the audience. The
large attendance and the good,
behavior attests the interest and
approval of the people in our
singings.
The public seems to be waking
up to a realization of what our
singing stands for, and an ap¬
preciation of what good Gospel
singing means to a community.
The Newton county singing con¬
vention is on a “boom” now, and
if all will co-operate, our success
is assured. We must keep iu
mind at all times, and impress:
it upon the public that our sing¬
ings are divine services, the
praising of God in song for the
building up of Gospel singing
everywhere; the uplift of hu¬
manity ; for better morals; a
higher type of refinement and
, culture. No man with the smell

we have not been molested by
such characters, we trust that.
we will never be.
1 Our convention meets witB
Liberty church, near Porterdale,
!next i Sunday evening. This
promises to be the largest at
tended, with more good singers,
and the greatest singing that we
have yet had. Mr. W. W. Wilson
promises to be on hand with th»
Jackson Orchestra, and as we
have been disappointed so many
times by them not coming, I am.
sure that this is the time for
them to appear.
Now with them, the Cornish
Mountain Quartette, the Porter¬
dale Quartette and the Sunny
South Quartette, with all the
other good singers of the county
and around, there is going to be
a bouquet of music at old Liber¬
ty next Sunday evening that will
be worth listening to. Let’s all
be there by 2:30, fast time, and
start promptly.
