THE VIP ALIA ADVANCE
N. C. NAPIER, Editor ond PuhlUber.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1921.
ABOUT OUR PLANS.
With the purchase of the Lyons Progress by
the management' of the Yidalia Advance, we want
to take the riders of this paper into our confi
dence as to some of our plans for the operation of
these two papers.
No change in the policy of the Lyons Progress
will be made, but that paper will continue to be
published from its own plant at Lyons. However,
with both papers in the county under one manage
ment, we believe that some economies can be made
in the publications and that certain changes can be
made which will prove popular with the readers
of both papers.
This week the Advance is issued on Wednesday
afternoon, but later on we expect to issue it on
Tuesday afternoon, and possibly make Friday the
publication date of the Lyons Progress, thus giving
the people of the county a semi-weekly paper to
all intents. We want to encourage aM the people
of the county to take both papers and an attract
ive clubbing offer will be made, making it possible
for them to secure both papers at a cost very little
in excess of the price now being paid for one.
Another change that will be made will be the
carrying in the Advance of considerable news from
Lyons and the lower section of Toombs county,
and carrying in the Progess news from Vidalia and
the northern and western sections of the county.
We feel that this will meet with the approval of
the readers of both papers, and that this plan will
do much to build up a pride in our splendid county
and to promote co-operation between the people
of the two sections.
We know that the citizens of Yidalia are inter
ested in the news of the county, seat and the bal
ance of the county, and we expect in the future to
carry more county news and more news regarding
the splendid citizens of Lyons than we have doen
in the past.

WHEN WORK WAS INVENTED.
Addressing the graduating class of Tifton High
School Monday night, after the statement that work
is necessary to happiness, Chancellor Barrow said.
“When Adam made a failure as a gentleman of
leisure, the Lord very wisely put him to work."
There is a sermon in that sentence. —Tifton Dr.il
Gazette.

DEVELOPMENT OF DAIRYING.
i
More than 9,500.000 pounds of butter were
, made by 93 creameries in the Southern states in the
year ending December 31. 1919. Thirty of the 54
cheese factories scattered throughout the mountain
regions turned out in the same time 481,000 pounds!
of Cheddar cheese. Silos, modern dairy barns and |
pure-bred dairy cows are becoming common. “Fif
teen years ago dairying as an industry had been
scarcely started in the Southern states,” said a
specialist in the dairy division, United States De
partment of Agriculture. “The South probably
has made more progress in the last thirteen years
than any other section of the country. The in
crease in the number of dairy cows from 1907 to
1920 was more than 50 per cent. The increase for
the entire United States during the same period
was 13.8 per cent.”
It has been convincingly proved that the South
and especially Georgia, and even more particularly
South Georgia, offers the largest possibilities for
dairying. The climate, the pasturage possibilities,
the variety of feed crops which can be raised, the
introduction of the silo, the experiments and the
records established bv dairymen in this section—
thev all prove that the dairv cow is to become one
of the best friends of the farmer who is tired of
nlunging on the capricious cotton crop.—-Savannah

RETAINING THE GOOD WILL OF THE
PEOPLE OF VIDALIA.
Like the great majority of the people of Vi
dalia, the Vidalia Kiwanis Club is getting aroused
on the matter of the old freight depot maintained
bv the Seaboard Railway in the heart of he city,
and has started out to see if some definite assu
rance from the Seaboard authorities as to the early
removal of the depot cannot be secured. At the
last meeting of the club a committee was appointed
‘akc the matter tip with the authorities in Nor
folk, and photographs of the local depot are to be
sent them and they are to be informed that if the
Seaboard exneets to retain the good wiM of the peo
ple of Vidalia. it would be wise for them to give
the people of this town some definite assurance
that this eve-sore will be moved at an early date.
The Seaboard Railway is a sreat asset to Vi
-1 dnlia. but at the same time Vidalia is a great asset
to the Seaboard. Certainly the good will of the
I people of this city is worth' retaining, and it is to
he hoped that the Seaboard officials can he made to
I see it in that light.
The removal of the present depot is demanded
-by the citizenship of the town, for this is one thing
that is essential to our growth and development.

HOSPITAL GREAT ASSET
TO VIDALIA SAYS VISITOR
Hal Lambdin, an officer of the Fed
eral Government who travels the
states of Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama, spent a day in the city re
cently, enroute to Swainsboro, and
stated that he is of the opinion that
Vidalia is one of the most progres
sive towns he has visited in many
weeks. Mr. Lambdin stated tn
there were more indications of in- j
creased business in and about Vidalia i
than in any town ill South Georgia.
But one of the activities which
seemed to impress him most was the
sanitary situation in the city. He
stated that the city is one of the
cleanest he has seen, and the instal
lation of sewerage would make sani
| tation complete. While in the city
i he called on a friend at the Vidalia
Hospital and was shown through the
institution. '“lt is one of the most
complete as to equipment and ade
quate personnel that I have seen any
where." said Mr. Lambdin. “The
X-Ray and operating rooms are par
ticularly well equipped, and this sec
tion is to he congratulated on such
a model plant.”
SWAINS BORO’S WELL
HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
The artesian well for the city’s
water supply has been completed and

machinery to Pearson,Ga.

The Sunken Grave
*
Nothing- can be sadder than a grave that is no longer a mound. The
inevitable has come to pass —the weight of the sodden earth has
crushed in the last protection. It helps nothing to close the imagin
ation to what happens then ! Yet there is not the slightest necessity for
this barbarous, unsanitary, old fashioned method of burial. The Norwalk
Vault —at little cost —will protect absolutely and forever. Cement and
steel, waterproof and airtight, it seals in plain sight and becomes one solid
piece of masonry that literally “Lasts through the Ages.” The best under
takers insist on its use.

GET DOWN TO WORK.
The hoard of city tax assessors,
composed of Messrs. T. G. Poe, J. S.

work. They have selected Mr. God

make them comfortable, Mr. Godbee
has had an awning erected on the
front. The assessors have shucked
their coasts, pulled their table directly
under an electric fan and each day
are found busy in their task of seeing
that everbody pays a fair part of city
taxes and tli*at none escape.
Parties who have not already done
so, are urged to make returns .of their
property at once to the assessors, if
they would avoid the penalty of be
ing double-taxed.
