ESTABLISHED 1881. 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 WE OFFER A SPECIAL SALE ON GUNS $ 5.00 Single Barrel Guns $ 4.00 5.50 Single Barrel Guns 4.25 8.50 Single Barrel Guns 7.47 15.00 Double Barrel Guns 12.50 17.50 Double Barrel Guns 15.00 20.00 Double Barrel Guns 17.50 25.00 Double Barrel Guns 20.00 27.50 Double Barrel Guns 23.50 30.00 Double Barrel Guns 25.00 Real Bargains--Come early ‘and take your choice.

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. _—.____O..___.._ Make the printer smile when you come to townsss
