Several business houses thioughou the state are taking interest in the corn contests, some of them are offer ing valuable prizes. The Vidalia Hard ware Company is one among the num ber and we understand that one or two firms in Lyons are going to supplement the offer. We are glad to see the busi ness men taking interest in the raising of food stuff and we hope the farmers will take up the proposition. Substantial prizes are being offered for the greatest yield of corn on one acre of land and the counties mention ed so far are Toombs, Emanuel and Montgomery, fn some parts of the state the prizes are only offered to boys but the prizes offered in Toombs county are for farmers generally. We have the land in the county of Toombs that will pioduce corn equal to any land in the country and we see no reason why a record should not he made by our farmers. We can’t give the prizes that are to be offered in Lyons yet but will do so in our next issue. The Vidalia Hardware Com pany, however, is offering as first prize, SSO in cash ; as second prize, a disc plow valued at $35; and as third prize, a line range. The prizes offered in Lyons will be equally as good and the prises will make it worth while for the farmer to show what can be done on Toombs county soil. Get busy, friends, and see what can be done Mardi Gras Excursion Kates.

They are out for business too and in our next issue they are going to tell the people about their product. This is a home concern and it should be given the preference of the people. This year the factory will only be able -to mix its grades of guano fait by the next season they hope to be able to manu facture all the acids and other chemi cals they will use. Col. Giles came back from Savannah Tuesday night after assisting in the prosecution of Brunswick Mcßae for the killing rs Zenas Warness, in Bry an county. The negro had been con victed twice but it seems that a Chat ham county jury thought that he was not guilty and they turned him loose.
