The Tifton Fair.
Several of the large cities of
South Georgia are planning to give
the visitors at the big exposition
at Tifton a touch of high life, and
show the ad mens clubs of the
cities further north that they
haven’t got a thing on them when
it comes to seizing the phyochlogi
cal moment and gilt-edge chances
to advertise. For example—Baii.-
bridge , on October 4th, will come
with no less than forty automo
biles so decorated that at a glance
a member of the ‘A” class in the
kindergarten would know that
they were from Bain bridge.

convention and permanent organ
ization formed.
The midway will be the biggest

The Deadest of all Towns.
Towns are not made by r>ch
men. The men who make the
wheels go round are the ones who
have their fortune to make. The
rich men are chiefly occupied in
taking care of their bundles and
clipping coupons.
The deadest town in the United
States is in Nebraska. It is a town
where every natural advautage. in
cluding water power,makes manu
facturing profitable. It is sur
rounded by the finest farming
country in the world. There isn’t
an unproductive acre within fifty
miles. There is every reason why
the town should prosper and grow
but it has too many rich men.
They own business blocks and
farms and spend most of their
time collecting rents. They smoke
“two-for” cigars and play check
ers for them. They lend money on
good security at the pawnshop
rate of interest. They protest
against every improvement that
will cost them a cent.
The town in question has two
miles of paved streets. The pave
ment was laid twenty years ago,
and now it is ruinous . The main
street looks like a brick yard that
had been struck by lightning. For
three or four years the more en
terprising citizens have been
clamoring to have that street re
paved, the newspapers have been
urging it, and the council has been
passing resolutions favoring it,
but- the rich old boys always block
ed the game, aud it dosen’t seem
probable the street will be repaved
until the rich old boys sleep with
their fathers
The younger men of the town
are always trying to get something
started, and always failing, be
cause the rich men present a eolid
front in opposition to anything
that will cost money.
The town that has a surplus of
rich men is in hard luck. Rich
men naturally are conservative,”
and conservatism becomes a dis
ease with them in course of time.
State School Commissioner
Brittain has issued a very mterest
ng booklet for the school system
. ; Georgia. This little booklet
contains plans for erecting small
school buildings and it shows just
w hat the country should have.
These booklets should be sent to
every small school district iu the
State aud it is hoped that they
will cause the school patrons to
take more pride in erecting their
school houses.
THE*LYONS FROGREbs' SEPT. 16, lOIUI
Work Day. Raturday Sept. 30.
A million people in eight of
ttiH southern states will have a
gr<-at work contest on Work Day
for th« orphuns. September 30th.
Sundae school scholars of nearly
all rieiHHMination* wiP lovingly vie
with each other as to which can
make most of work day for the
30 000 neglected one in these
states.
300,000 Georgia children wil!
line up heart to heart and fight
for the 8,000 annually helped by
the twenty five Georgia white or
phans’ homes, not to speak of the
dozens or more for negroes
(whom we must save or kill.)
To learn to search for the neg
lected is one of the chief objects
of Work Day. To clean out th
pauper homes, help thoso worthy
ones in “Pauper Lane” is a great
lesson, and to help the hungry
pressed mother to stay with her
darling child is Godlike.
Also to get every one to give at
least their day’s earnings to some
child saving home should inspire
fathers, mothers, sons, daughters,
the rich and the poor.
Who knows when the children
of even the richest may need the
help of some Home? We have
seen grand children of the man
who paid tax on $600,00J knock
humbly at the door of the Or
phans’ Home.
Make Work Day, Saturday,
September 30th, a grand child
festival for saving the lost child.

Perhaps you have never given much con
sideration to their purchase, but think for a minute of the long days
the little ones must 6pend in using them, and how muh pleasure and
satisfaction it means if everything is just like they want it.
Something that does not suit is a keen dis
oppointmeut, and now is the time that your children are formin
habits and ideas that will have a great influence on their futures.
Failure to equip them with the proper supplies is an actual
handicap.
We have taken all of these features into consideration in buying
our school supplies, and the childreh will receive the same priceß, if
they come alone, as you do.
