Vol 20. No 44 HOG SALE ft BRINGSJSIO9O.IS also car of sweet potatoes BRINGS $357.56 TO FARMERS— NEXT HOG SALE TO BE 4TH FRIDAY IN NOVEMBER. The cooperative hog sale at Lyons last Friday brought $1090.15 for 117 hogs brought in by 14 farmer. Tops brought 7.36 which was the highest sale reported for the week. The next sale will be the fourth Fri day in November which will be Nov. 23rd. List any hogs you want to put in this sale with the county agent. Car of Sweet Potatoes The carload of sweet potatoes $357.56 into the farmers hands above the cost o$ sacks and labor in the car. That was a net of lc per pound to the farmers. Mr. Perry Sanders reports he sold SIOB worth from lVi acres of land and still has approximately 100 bushels of culls for hog feed. In addition to that several hushels more were secured by replow'ing the patch and getting the potatoes left the first time. Nineteen farmers loaded potatoes in this car. County Agent_ Ga.-ner says he hopes to Veil another during the next few days. Evidently there is some other crops that are good for money, besides cotton. It often happens, though, that we think these other crops al ways return such large figures per acre as the above returns of Mr. Sanders while cotton can return fif teen or twenty dollars per acre, still be considered the best. OLNEY BROWN, OF SUMMIT, KILLED IN AUTO WRECK SWAINSBORO, Ga.

COTTON CROP IN TOOMBS HEAVIER THAN EXPECTED Indications are now that Toombs county will make more than a 5,000 bale cotton crop this year instead of less than 5,000, as was freely pre dicted a few weeks ago. This crop will be very near the same as the 1921 crop, from present indications, and with the higher price, will bring v ery near the same money as the 1922 crop of 8,200 bales. Business men report collections better than last year. - » *.. . . it *■ The Lyons Progress OUR PRAYER THAT WE MAY NEVER FORGET »i: ii nml MANY RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM AMERICAN RED CROSS \ Over 53,900 ex-service men and their families have received assist ance from the American Red Cross in eight Southern States during the last year, it w T as announced today. They are divided as follows: North Carolina, 5,652; South Carolina, 7,- 382; Tennessee, 2,942; Georgia, 6,- 813; Alabama, 14,746; Florida, 4- 269; Louisiana, 9, 462; and Mississ ippi, 2,743. Help given consisted chiefly of se curing government compensation for disabled soldiers, adjusting disputed claims, caring for dependents while claims were being adjusted, as well as numerous other services. The fifth anniversary of the arm istice, November 11, which marks the opening of the Annual Red Cross Roll Call, will see practically the numerical strength of an army divi- ’ sion of disabled soldiers still in gov- j ernment hospitals, government offi cials state. Brigadier General Frark ’ r . llin°s, in commenting on the serious prob-, lem presented by this army of dis abled men said “We are still in the duration of the war as regards this problem. We are particularly in terested in the work dealing with these men who are in our hispitals and assisting the men who have claims that are difficult to establish. We need the Red Cross cooperation and assistance because it is capable of going a step beyond what the law authorizes, no matter what law we j are operating under. “This work of training men and endeavoring to bring them back so that they may stand on their own j feet is awe-inspiring, and in it the Red Cross spirit is inspiring all to do their best. From my observation 1 in the work the Red Cross has been most helpful and valuable, not only to the disabled men, but to the Vet erans’ Bureau in bringing about measures of relief where needed, and where the veteran is justly en titled to relief.” j. In addition to the work among veterans of the war, the organization has also given assistance to over 15,- 000 soldiers of the regular ramy sick in government hospitals. Through this work, thousands of ex-service men who left the service of their country with serious men-, tal and physical handicaps have been helped back cm a self-supporting basis, and given a new incentive and a fresh start in life. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the good people for what they did and the kindness shown to us during the sickness and death of our beloved' father and hus band, James W. Snow. May God’s richest blessing rest with each of you. • ! Mrs. James W. Sn<rw and ohUd£fit. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF TOOMBS COUNTY LYONS. GEORGIA, THURSDAY.

The chicken and turkey sale that has been planned for the week before Thanksgiving will be held at Vida lia on Nov. 21st. Plans have been announced for holding the sale ' at both Lyons and Vidalia on consecu tative days, but the Seaboard has not yet worked out a plan for handl ing the car that will permit the sale being held at Lyons. The car will be at Vidalia Nov. 21st. The Coun » * • , ty Agent and Home Demonstration Agent will be there early that morn ing to start the chickens moving. Chickens should be fattened for this sale, especially is this true of old hens and grade hens that farm ers will be wanting to get out of the way for their purebred chickens. They should be shut up for 10 days at least and fed a soft mash. Chick ens should be shut up by the 10th of November and fed to have them in the best shape. Turkeys will do well fattening on peas if turned into a pea field or if you don’t have that, then feed them grain or corn. Made Up Article*. Corset cover, Mrs. J. B. Brewton, second Mrs. J. B.
