VOL. 1 CttilSTif BOIS ELECTS ■ DEMONSTRATOh 0 Unanimously Continues County Agent Cox In Office For Year. The County Commissioners of Bar tow county met at the court house Wednesday for their regular Novem ber meeting. (, litt a large amount of routine *oiK was transacted, and the fiscal affairs and road work were carefully , one o ver. The reports indicated that substantial progress is being made in ,oad work, notwithstanding the small orce available for labor. Convicts are scarce mid growing scarcer and the aeed for road work of a permanent character is becoming more and more iressing. However, the fine weather has enabled the road forces to make headway on the Dixie Highway in thq Adairsville section and on the Tennes se road in the White section. Both these highways are being put in fine condition. The manganese and iron ore prop erty belonging to th 6 county and lo cated on the poor house farm was leased to Vaughan & Markstein. The lease of the Republic Iron & Steel Company expired "by limitatioh and a better contract was made with the ormer who took over the property at an increased royalty and with other contractual features more advantag eous to the county. From this source will be a substantial annual income. The County Commissioners re elected Mr. C. H. Cox as county agent. His selection was regarded as a wise one, both because of the adoption of a policy to foster and encourage the ag ricultural industry and because of Mr, Cox’s ability as an organizer of this character of work. Ho has made re markable progress in this office dur ing the short length of time he has been here,,'and farmers and all other business men have come to realize that he has a designated service which results in material progress in agri culture. After auditing a great number of bills, the meeting adjourned late in the afternoon and attended in a body the meeting of the Bartow County Pair Association held upstairs. At this meeting Chairman Boyd, for the board, made a special talk which was warmly appreciated. I 8. V. P. U. PROGRAM FOR EAST SIDE BAPTIST CHURCH. Leader, Mollie Burdette. Group No. 1.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRIBUNE VOL. 7, NO. 37) MEETING POSTPONED ffiß BIG ATTENDANCE Fate Of County Fair To Be i Determined Within Next Two Weeks. . The Bartow County Fair Associa jtigp was called to meet Wednesday af ternoon, but due to the fact that nor as large attendance was present as should have been considering the vital nature of the questions to*be consid ered, the motion was adapted, offered by Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun, to postpone the meeting for two or three weeks and directing that a letter he sent to the various stockholders throughout the county and others, urging personal atendance. The ifresent officers and directors ol the fair have given their time un stintedly to the enterprise and are falling for a more general display of co-operation. They are unwilling to longer assume the burden of carrying the association without evidence of a willingness to furnish means and help to run the fair. It is planned to either adopt meas ures to supply the association with needed capital with which to coduct its business or to abandon the enter prise altogether. The latter course to many is an unthinkable proposition. They point out that the fair has been of unestimable benefit socially and materially to the people of the county; that it is the best advertisement the county has ever had; that it has en couraged agriculture, industrial and commercial development, and the peo ple generally have profitted groatl> through the annual events which bate been a feature of Bartow County. These fairs have brought many strangers, within our gates, all of whom have been and amaze* . They have set "forth, as in no ot nu way they could set forth, the great resources of this county. As one gen tleman pointed out, Bartow County is a fair county and has always been such. In other words, the fertility ot its soil and the versatility of products that can be raised here, are such as-to always make the fair a thoroughly in teresting show. The business men of the county must meet, the proposition, however, and de termine for themselves whet Inn or not the fair will continue to be a going in stitution. Several have already signi fied their int'ention to furnish addition al capital to put it in a first class ii nancial condition, and it is now be lieved that the next meeting, when held, will be a rousing, entluisiastiosr.f fair that will put the association when t.ts officers and directors can run it without danger of embarrassment. big shipment of cotton AWAITS CARS TO MOVE IT. Upwards of 300 bales of lotion has' been stacked in the park near the Seaboard Airline depot awaiting equip ment to move it to J- Field & Son delivered to the railroad j company for shipment but cars have not yet been furnished to carry it awa> j and thus more than $45,000 of property is taking the weather until the rail road can supply the rolling stock to get it away.

All other organizations, business and-civic, have lent their aid to make the meeting a great success. Fifty thousand dollars was guaran teed to take care of the expenses, which are very heavy as the Billy Sunday meetings are planned on an elaborate scale and require a daily out lay of a vast stint of money. Thousands from all over the South will visit Atlanta during Mr. Sunday's stay there. He is an attractive per sonality and has. from the start, jumped Into public favor. In his earlier days he was a professional baseball player, and was regarded as one of the leading hall players of the nation. Af ter he reached an age whereby his athletic skill began to slip, he was in duced by his wife to preach. Follow ing this advice, and determining to en ter the pulpit, he entered upon liis new field of Work with the same energy, earnestness and determination that he had displayed on many a ball field throughout the country.

FIRE FOUGHT UNDER GREAT DIFFICULTIES. The fire departmennit was brought out last week when a house, the pro)>- orty of Dr. R. E. Adair, was found to be ablaze. The roof was on fire but no headway had been gained when the department appeared. It would 1 have quickly put out but for the defective hose yith which the department seems to be supplied. This very necessary conductor of water burst-three or four times and appeared to be iloter mined to repeat the performance in definitely until the firemen decided to reduce the pressure. But for the small blaze this might have resulted disastrously. The city apparently needs soiqe sound hose. AUTOMOBILE COLLIDES AT AC WORTH WITH L. & N. TRAIN. Gid Coker was Instantly killed, J. D.
