thousands each night and the Fair As
sociation directors are sure that no
tair in Georgia lias ever arranged a
more attractive night program for
each evening's entertainment than
that which will be put on at the Bar
tow County Fair this year.
Music.
The Lindale band of twenty pieces
lias been secured in competition with
the bands of Atlanta and Chattanooga..
Mr. Pyron has made an extraordinary
deal, with the Lindale band which in
sures the presence here of twenty
pieces or eight more than was ever
used before, and music will be furnish
ed unorning, afternoon and evening.
The Lindale band is composed of ar
tists, each one of whom is a master of
his instrument, and the band itself is
almost in constant demand by reason
of the excellence of its players.
Improvements.
The Fair Association this year has
made improvements as to arrange
ment which will very much add to the
comfort and seeing ability of all whb
attend. Automobiles can enter the
grounds at the gate without extra
charge but these will be parked
around the outside edge of the fair
grounds against a rail provided for
the purpose extending almost the en
tire length of the grounds. Those who
desire to remain in their automobiles,
by paying for the privilege, the fee be
ing a dollar for touring cars and fifty
cents for runabouts, will be given
l>arking st>ace on the inside of the
race track across the track from the
grand stand. This is considered an ad
mirable arrangement and serves to
enable those who come in cars but
who want seats in the grand stand to
leave their cars parked in a safe place
where they will not obstruct the view
and also to enable those who want to
remain in their cars to have an ad
vantageous place to see the races and
ether attractions without obstructing
the view of others who are in the
grand stand and bleachers.
The band stand has been moved
across the race track from the grand
stand and this is regarded as a wise
change since the .loudness of band
riusic will not grate upon the ears of
those occupying seats in the grand
stand, while the music itself will reach
the uttermost parts of the .park.
A uniform price of twenty-five cents
will be made for grand stand seats
night and day and twenty-five cents
for each admission to the park during
the day and fifteen cents admission at
the gate at night. These prices are
popular prices and will doubtless at
tract thousands to the fair grounds
this year who were reluctant to pay
the fifty cents general charge last
year.
Departments.
The Woman’s department and
school fair will, as usual, be a,very
extraordinary exbihlt.The women have
entered heartily into the preparation
of their exhibits in this department
this year and will make it a distinct
feature of the fair.
The agricultural department prom
ises to be filled to overflowing with
the extraordinary products of Bartow
county farmers and the pride of pos
session and of constant attainment
beats high in the hearts of Bartow
county farmers. These are not content
with doing just as well and will be sat
isfied with nothing Jess than doing bet
ter than has ever been done before.
One of the surprises for those who
attend the fair this year will be the
negro building and exhibit. The ne
groes have Entered heartily in the
v. ork of showing what has been ac
complished by their race in agricul
ture, in domestic arts and sciences,
and in manual and industrial trades.
Mr. Henry Milam, under whose super
vision this exhibit will be held, states
confidently that the exhibit made by
the negroes this year will be one of
the most interesting and profitable
ever shown at a county fair in Geor
gia, and that the enthusiasm, purpose
and earnestness of the race wilt be
shown to a high degree when the gates
open to spectators of the county fair
of 1916.
Races.

HUGHES SUPPOfi!EHS
HERE DURING WEEK
Clubs Formed Over Sev
enth District And Fight
To Be Made.
The meeting of the Seventh Dis
tiict Hughes COttb at Cartersvilie Mon
day was convincing evidence that- the
Republicans of Cartersvilie, and par
ticularly those of the Seventh Congres
sional District, intend to make an ac
tive campaign and that they are or
ganizing fer the purpose of polling the
iU 1 strength of the party. Representa
tives from every county in the Seventh
Congressional District were present at
the meeting this week and nearly ev
ery county club in the district was
represented. They displayed great
confidence in their predictions of vic
tory for the party candidates and were
very much in earnest in their proceed
ings.
Col. Reger Dewar, of Atlanta, one of
the leaders of the Hughes Club move
ment in the state, was present, and
delivered an address which was well
received and which aroused a consid
erable amount of enthusiasm and a
purpose to 'make of themselves crusad
ers in the cause. Col. Dewar stressed
v. hat the Hughes Clubs in other parts
of the state were doing and called
upon his hearers to give to the clubs
in this i>art of Georgia their active,
earnest and enthusiastic support. The
meeting was presided over by Mr. A.
N. Tumlin, of Cave Spring, the presi
dent, and in addition to the speech of
Col. Dewar, Hon. Walter Aker man,
republican candidate for congress
from this district, made an address in
which he predicted victory and stoutly
maintained the soundness of Republi
can principles.
Among those who were present
were noted A. N. Tumlin, Cave
Spring; E. M. Goding, Cartersvilie;
J. M. Field, Jr., Cartersvilie; Harry
Womelsdorf, 'Cartersvilie; Ho sea. Ab
ernathy, Cartersviille; L. H. Crawford,

Dever, Rockmart; Lee Allen, Dallas;
WiiMiam Carroll, LaFayette; R. L.
Franklin, AdairsviPe, and many oth
ers. After the meeting a number of
consultations were he’d among the
leading Republicans of the district and
it is presumed that the interest of the
party will be well cared for and push

presidential campaign.
played up as being of more interest
Jian any other feature of the fair.
The association wishes it to be known
hat the racing feature this year will
>e as good or better than any ever
-.ad before, but that even with this
ti ue. the many other features of the
fair will excel in importance and in
thrilling interest the racing feature
as good as it will be and as good as it
has been. In other words, so many
features of the fair will be worked out
this year that the racing feature will
be considered as only an incident as
good and better than it ever was, but
not nearly so informative, valuable or
interesting as the night features of the
fair and the various exhibits and free
entertainments that will be furnished.
The fair of 1916 promises to be not
only a splendid creation but a work
of art in all respects, and back of it
will be the hearty, enthusiastic co-op
eration of every business interest of
Cartersvilie and Bartow county and
of every man, woman, and child of
discretion, to make the fair of 1916
the most splendid work of accomplish
ment ever undertaken in this county.
Decoration.
The merchants and business men of
Cartersvilie should at once make ef
fort to decorate their stores and plac
es of business, attractively decorate
the windows, and in all respects set
forth a holiday attire and ma<ke the
fair week one never to be forgotten in
the history of Bartow county.
SINGING.
There will be singing at Pine Log
College Sunday afternoon. Everybody
is invited.
Think how many people read your
ads when you place them in The Trib
une. Ninety-five per cent of our large
circulation is in Bartow county.
LIEUT. CARL BOYD
PROMOTED 10 CAPTAIN
Popular Army Officer Ad
vanced And His Many
Friends Gratified.
The promotion of Lieut. Carl Boyd
tc thjf tank of captaincy will be news
e; gdeat interest to the friends of a
native son of Bartow county whose
well wishes have followed him through
aid niilitary training and his career In
the ajmy where he has received many
marks of confidence and has been en
trusted with many responsible errands
of a governmental nature. Capt. Boyd
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Boyd,
of Adairsville, and was graduated
from the United States military acad
emy at West Point in 1903. The same
year he marired Miss Annie Peeples,
of Chattanooga, and was stationed in
Yellowstone Park two years.
Following this he was assigned two
years’ service in the Phillipine Islands.
At this point of duty he rendered dis
tinguished service to his government
and absorbed a personal knowledge of
Fillip! nos and became familiar with
the form of government established by
the Americans over the islands.
Upon his return to America he spent
several months at Fort Sant Houston,
Texas, where he became acquainted
with and did some Mexican border
service. In 1910 he was given special
'
appointment to the United States cav
alry training school at Fort Riley, Kan
sas. In 1911 he was signally honored
by his government in being selected i
as one of the representatives of the
United States to the international
home show at Madison Square Gar
den, New York. Following this he was
given leave to go to France to study
the French language, and upon return
ing to the United States, became an
instructor in French at the United
States military academy
In ij#i3 he was sent to France to ob
serve the French cavalry and was at
tached to the French dragoons when
the European war broke out. Follow
ing the declaration of war by the sev
eral nations of Europe, he was made
assistant to the United States military
attache at Paris and was put in charge
o! relief funds for stranded Americans
in France. This assignment, which
was difficult and at times distressing,
was well handled by him and all Amer
icans caught in the maelstrom of the
panic which then existed greatly ap
preciate his intelligent efforts and the
successful accomplishment of his task.
He has made several tours of in
spection of German prison camps in
France, being selected by the German
government, itself for this purpose and
a duty which he performed to the sat
isfaction of the German government,
by and with the consent of his own
government.
Thus in a little over ten years' time j
Capt. Boyd has seen service of a var- j
ied and important nature in various j
parts of the world, including different j
points of his own country. He is now <
ir. the American embassy at Paris, j
France, as assistant to the military at- :
tnche, and, according to prevailing J
rules, is due to return to America j
within the next few weeks. Oapt. j
Boyd’s alertness, his studious and at- 1
tentive performance of all duties im
posed upon him and his intellectual
attainments are such as to reflect cred
i* upon himself and to bring to his
relatives and friends of Bartow coun
ty a great pride bf ownership in his
being a Bartow county product. The
Tribune joins the hosts of congratula
tory expressions which have gone for
ward to his <pareti£s and family here
and have even been transmitted to
(’apt. Boyd and his wife at Paris, and
his early home coming will furnish an
opportunity to give him a welcome
and friendly commendation upon the
rewards which have come to him as
a result of distinguished and meritor
ious service.
NOTICE.
There will be a box supper at the
home of Miss Lois Bradford, 415 Gil
mer street, for the benefit of the sec
ond Methodist church, Friday night,
September 29. Everybody cordially in
vited.
To any boy or girl, bringing us a
subscription for one year, paid in ad
vance for The Tribune, we will make
them a present of a free ticket to the
opening day of the Bartow County
Fair.
GUILE TICK ERADICATED
AND COUNTY DECLARED FREE
4
Good Work of Federal and State Authorities
and From Now on the Cattle Industry
Will Bea Source of Wealth.
Bartow county has Wen released
from federal and state quarantine of
cattle, effective September 15th.
For many years, because of cattle
tick infection, Bartow county has lab
ored under a quarantine placed upon
it by both the federal and state govern
ments, and about two years ago,
through the constant aggitation of the
subject through the columns of The
Bartow Tribune, backed up and sup
ported by a number of the county’s
most prominent citizens, the Ward of
county commissioners complied with
the requirements of the United States
and state governments and started on
a campaign to eradicate the cattle
tick. This work was first done by Dr.
Fahey, a representative of the govern
ment out of the denartment of agri
culture, bureau or animal industry,
who organized the work in this coun
ty and assigned the inspectors to their
respective itosittons. Due to the com
paratively small infection in this
county, the spraying method was
adopted instead of building vats
through which cattle are driven, Dr.
Fahy and other authorities, including
Dr. Niilghbert, head of this division of
the federal government’s work at At
lanta, consenting to this method. With
in the ]*ast year Dr. Joseph J. Vara,
United States veterinary insiiector,
has been in charge with a number of i
inspectors appointed by the board of
j county commissioners and by Coiu-
I mmioner J. D. Price. As will be seen
i from the letter below. Dr. Vara has
formally proclaimed the release from
quarantine of this county, effective
j September 15th, and announces that
| cattle may now be moved without any
! restriction whatsoever. He states, how
! ever, that persons intending to make
I shipments' to other states should first
| learn the requirements of those states
I and that this information may be ob-
I tained front any railroad agent.
He urges all citizens to report all
| suspected cases of fever tick infection
j immediately to local authorities. Mr.
F. V. Smith will continue to remain in
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?
$44,800.00 SUBSCRIBED.
We wish to ask you a .serious, per
tinant question, “Are you succeeding
with what you have?” Have you
checked up yourself to know where
you stand and to meet the tide of un
obstructive revolution coming upon
us?
Every thing is getting higher—from
pins to bread; from nails to clothes;
in fact every item of both raw and
finished product commands higher
prices and the end is not in sight.
Cease worrying.
It is time to pilan —to save. You can
not depend on rumors of luck or tinges
of hope.
During the last few months the rec
ord of our most thriving financial in
stitution was broken by the subscrib
ed investment of $44,800.00, upon
which the individual, boys, girls, men,
women, old and young are paying fixed
sums of monthly savings.
Today this institution —The Oartere
viWe Building & Ix>an Association —
opens its books for another opportun
ity of saving, and they ceriously in
vite the interest and attention of ev*
ery Bartow county citizen to the ad
vantages offered.
You can subscribe now and buy
stock for the coming November series.
As the investment each six months is
limited, do not put off or hesitate in
this important matter.
If there is any information you need
write the obliging secretary-treasurer,
Mr. J. W. Vaughan, who has demon
strated that co-operative and syste
matic saving is riches* for the partici
pating individual!.
We do not want your money for
nothing. We have worked for three
years on our circulation to get it in

Tribune it will certainly bring resuits.

charge In order to stamp out any
sporadic development of cattle tick,
but for commercial purposes the coun
ty has been released and is no longer
under quarantine.
This will be plea stag news to all
well wishers of the county's progress
since it opens up the probabilities of
a profitable pursuit of the cattle in
dustry and furnishes a wider and more
extensive market for those who have
already been engaged in this business.
It is one of the real progressive steps
taken by the board of county commis
sioners and puts Bartow county on the
cattle map as being free from infec
tious disease. It will doubtless lead to
the introduction of blooded cattle of
both beef and dairy clashes and will
add a source of wealth which we have
not enjoyed for many years.
Dr. Fahey and Dr. Vara are entitled
to the thanks and commendation of
the people of the county for their
faithful and intelligent service and for
the. efficiency which they applied In
ridding the county of this infection.
The board of county commissioners
are likewise entitled to praise for
taking hold of the situation and doing
that for the county which must ulti
mately lead to a greater rate of pro
gress.
The following is the announcement
from Dr. Vara:
September 25, 1916.
Bartow Tribune.
Dear Sir: Kindly publish the below
statement:
Bartow county has been released
from federal and state quarantine, ef
fective September loth. Cattle may
mw he moved wfthout any restrictions
whatsoever. Persons intending to
make shipments to other states should
first learn the requirements of those
states. This information may be ob
tained from any railroad agent.
All suspected cases of tick in
festation should be reported immed
iately to local authorities.
Very respectfully,
