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. Heretofore the races have been CARTERSVILLE, GA., SEPTEMBER 28, I9lt 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, Dalton; J. A. Crawford, Dalton; R. M. Gudger, Chatsworth; W. E. Rash, Ry dal; Fred Noble, Cedartown; Jim 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 d during the comiug weeks ,of the 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 shape so when you have an ad in The Tribune it will certainly bring resuits. Thinik of the great number of people in Bartow that reads your ad every week. 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, JOSEPH J. VARA, IT.1 T . S. Veterinary Inspeotor. * CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION TO BE HELD AT DALTON.
