Toombs County Fair
Some people continue asking me
whether or not we will have a county
fair this fall. That was definitely
decided on some time ago and at a
meeting of the directors a week ago
plans for the advertising and other
details were completed. So begin
preparing your exhibits for the best
fair the county has had yet.
With hogs today at 10c on South
ern market, cattle stronger than they
have been, cotton over 20 cents, water
melons moving, sweet potatoes start
ing moving this week don’t you think
we ought to celebrate by having a real
live county fair that will do justice
to our feelings of renewed optimism.
Sweet Potato Shipment
Mr. W. L. Duncan dug five rows of
Porto Rican potatoes last week. He
sold 7 bushels in Vic'alia at $3 per
bushel and shipped 3 bushels to Macon
which sold there for $3. These rows
were one acre long and about 3 ft.
apart. He, Mr. Walter Powell, Mr.
Mac Wimberly, Mr. Lewis Tomlin and
Mr. Reynolds of Johnson Corner are
making the first shipment this week.
A carload may be shipped.' later.
Carload of Barrels and Hampers
A carload of barrels and bushel
hampers were being delievered by Mr.
W. L. Duncan to the farmers around
here who are growing Big Stem Jer
sey potatoes. They expect to ship a
carloacJ within the next few days.
Feed Some Hogs For Sept. Sale
A good many farmers are feeding a
few hogs each for the sale at Lyons
Sept. 19th and for the one at Vidalia
Sept. 28th. Tell your neighbors to do
the same and two or three neighbor
farmers can load a wagon or truck
together and. 1 send them in. We ex
pect to be weighing and grading at
ileast until two o’clock in the after
noon but your hogs will be in bet
ter condition if they get in during the
cool part of the morning.
Anthracnose In Watermelons
Many farmers have learned what an
thracnose will do too their melons,
even to the ones they think should he
fit to ship. There is one outstanding
fact shown by the large number of
culls this year—we must spray our
watermelons next year. So if you
plant an acreage large enough to jus
tify a power spray on your own farm
it will be highly advisable to buy one
and the material this winter. If you
plant only a small acreage try to get
several of your neighbors go in with
you in buying one. A barren spray
hauled on a wagon is the best method
as small machines are so heavy when
filled with the liquid that one does
not like to carry them.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTOJRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Natural Color and
Lustre at Once.
Common garden sage brewed Into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way Is to get
the ready-to-use preparation Improved
by the addition of other Ingredients
a large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound,” thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair Is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. Bv
darkening your hair with Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because It does It so natural
ly, so evenly. You Just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requi
site. It is not intended for the cure
mitigation or prevention of di««aao.

(Metter Advertiser)
“The hot sunshine of the past sev
eral cays has been worth at least
$20,000 daily to this county,” said a
prominent citizen of Metter a few
days ago, dicussing crop conditions
and the outlook for this fall.
While in several localities not far
from Metter there has been little rain
for several weeks, this county, or that
portion of in the vicinity of Metter,
has been favored with frequent show
ers. The past week, however, has
brought that hot weather so favorable
to cotton and' bad for the boll weevil,
and farmers are in consequence more
optimistic than they have felt for
some time.
It is now believed that a fair crop
will be made, provided seasons are
not more unfavorable than was the
case in the early spring when exces
sive rains produced' bad conditions
and gave rise to gloomy predictions
as to production.
The opinion ha? been expressed by
several who have had opportunities
for observing crops in other counties
that those of Candler are better than
the average and a great deal more
promising than those of the northern
part of the State.

Extensive improvements are now
being made at Durden’s Old Mill which
is located three miles from Graymont
and when completed this will be one
of the finest bathing and 1 picnic places
in this section of the state. A new
board walk across the old mill site
has been erected, a nice bath house
with plank walk in to water, has been
built, life lines streched, and he
whole place cleaned up and' put in
very pretty shape. It is planned to
add other improvements from time to
time and to make this the play
ground for this entire section. This
place has long been noted as one of
the finest fishing ground's in this sec
tion and it is now planned to make
the fishing privileges private and a
small fee will be charged those who
wish to fish. A moderate fee will be
charged those who wish to hold pic
nics or take a swim in this famous
bathing place. A keeper will be plac
ed there to keep order and supervise
the improvements. The public is cor
dially invited to make this their daily
play ground. These improvements
are being made by the Kilburn Invest
ment Company.
(Soperton News)
The Baptist Sunday School held its
annual picnic at Tharpe’s pond' last
Friday and the day was a pronounced
success from every viewpoint.
From early until late the pleasure
seekers enjoyed the day under the
overhanging branches of the magni
ficient oaks or in bathing at the pond'.
The swimming pool proved to be the
drawing card of the day as numbers
were in most of the time. Especially
did the little folks seem to enjoy this
feature.
At one o’clock a bounteous basket
dinner and! barbecue lunch was spread
on the ground and there was more
than enough to feed two such crowds
as had gathered to enjoy this annual
occasion. Large tubs of ice water and'
lemonade were served to the thirsty
ones as they came forward for it, and
altogether the day was one long to be
remembered.
The Sunday School wishes to es
pecially thank Mr J E Tharpe, owner
of the pond and grounds for the use
of same and also for his kindness in
furnishing the drinking water and
ice.
