GREAT GOAN SHOW
Twenty-Five Thousand
Ears Corn Displayed
In Capital City
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 3.—Twen
ty five thousand ears of corn,
raised by members of the Boys’
Corn Club of Georgia, was on
exhibition today at the state
capitol. The exhibit was sup
plemented by a large display of
canned goods offered by the
girls’ canning clubs of eighteen
counties in the state.
Several hundred boys and
girls from throughout the state
are expected to attend the open
ing here tomorrow of the an
nual show of the organizations.
An elaborate program has
been arranged for the three
days the visitors will be in the
city. On Friday all boys who
have raised 100 bushels or more
of corn to the acre will be a
warded diplomas. All girls
who have put up more than
1,500 pounds of canned goods
also will receive diplomas.
The usual quiet and decorum
of the big state capitol was bad
ly upset today by the noise and
bustle of arranging the corn
show exhibits and the alluring
exhibits of the girls’ canning
clubs.
Ordinary routine in the
offices was more or less inter
rupted and sedate officials ac
customed to sitting at big desks
all day and grinding out the
state’s important business,
found it imposible to get down
to it, and kept popping out of
their doors to make excursions
about the building to see the
heaps of fine corn and the can
ned stuff in the girls’ exhibits.
Secretary of State Phil Cook
had an especially hard time of
it trying to unravel the knotty
problems of the Murray county
court house. The heaps of
blackberry jam, plum jam,
marmalade, canned peaches,
pears—in fact all the good
things to make a man’s mouth
water were located on the
corridor opening out from his
office.
“Say, now,” Colonel Cook re
marked wistfully, “What about
some good hot biscuits, some

NUMBER 43
Mr. James L. Campbell
Died in Augusta at
Nephew's Home
News was received in Monti
cello yesterday afternoon of the
death of Mr. James L. Campbell
which occurred in Augusta at
1:30 p. m., at the home of his
nephew, Mr. Albert Campbell.
The remains are expected to
;'elach Monticello today for bur
ial.
At the hour of going to press
the funeral arrangements have
not been announced, but will
probably occur sometime to
morrow or Sunday.
Mr. Campbell was for many
years one of Monticello’s most
enterprising business men, hav
ing conducted the Campbell
Tannery, in connection with a
large mercantile establishment,
for a great number of years.
He was the inventor ot the
Campbell Patent Back Band
which was sold exclusively in
the south on its merits as a
substantial addition to the im
plements of farming. His name
on a pair of shoes was sufficient
guarantee of their splendid
quality, as was the harness
which he manufactured.
Several years ago he retired
from business to the regret of
a large number of customers.
After the death of his wife,
which occurred a few years ago,
Mr. Campbell was completely
broken up, and several months
ago went to Augusta to remain
with relatives for a while, and
it was while visiting them that
his death took place.
He was a noble example of a
christian gentleman and lived
a blameless life here on earth.
For over half a century his
place as an officer of the Metho
dist church was never vacant,
only on account of illness, and
his many deeds of charity and
loving kindness will live to
bless his memory.
The entire citizenry of Mon
ticello is greived at the news of
his demise.
