We Will Sett only One Set to Each Customer A] I ? Q. iVI. .Jackson & Son, Cartersville, Oa. ardently supporting the things you have opposed and wondering why you did not see this lon'g ago. Bartow county people must get rid of their disposition to oppose every advance movement and quit being a community of fault-finders and be a community of BOOSTERS. That is all Bartow county needs to be the great est county in the state, a people that will work together, pull together and ' on all occasions and at all times, : BOOST. A spirit like this manifested or the part of our people would put j ne w life into every phase of our \ county's life. Now at, this time when we are all thinking of others, when ' ( self is best under control, when the J spirit of the Master should be much j in evidence wouldn’t it be grand for a ! i splendid people like the citizens of' J Bartow county to give to the present and rising generations a great gift— that gift to be a resolution on the part of the manhood of the county to guar ! antee the proper development of ev l ery department of our county govern- Luent. Wouldn’t it be great if we could j agree to stand as one man behind our I commissioner of roads and revune in j their efforts to build good roads? j Vote bonds, thus giving the means to ido with, then encourage and support j them in their honest efforts to serve us. Then vote a County Wide Local School Tax for the support of our edu cational system and give to our boys and girls equal opportunities with any bo} r s and girls in the state. What a Christmas present this would be to the kiddies! Get behind our agricultural inter ests and develop them as they must be developed, prepare to meet the boll w eevil, for'he is surely coming. The greatest need just here is a Farm Jieinonstrator. We are now paying half the salary of one and have been .for two years and not receiving one penny’s worth service all because we are too short sighted to pay the other half of his salary. Gordon, Floyd, Cobb all have these demonstrators. We had better resolve to give our farmers this v aluable or suffer the consequences. We could go on and on mentioning things we ought to do but this is enough to show what I mean when I say men let us resolve to give to Bar tow cotinty a real Christmas present. Let us do this thing and do it now. As I retire from serving you as a county official I want to say that all my energies as a citizen of the county will be directed toward the fullest de velopment of the county in all lines of endeavor. I want to thank every one for what measure of support I have been accorded in nay efforts to serve the county. 1 shall always cherish the pleasant associations and the friend ships made in the work and shall en ter upon my duties with the determin ation to work and fight for the ad vancement and development of all the different branches of our county life. In the work I am entering a larger field of usefulness is offered, one which with the fullest co-operation of the You Can Not Pay Cash HI people I hope to develop to its fullest capacity. UGH!

No Telephone or Mail Orders For These Sets Will Be Filled 1917 IS DANGER YEAR FOB SOUTH Twenty Million Bales More Likely Than Twenty Cents a Pound, Says Hastings. Atlanta, Ga.—(Special)— That 1917' Is a “danger year” for* the south, and that there is “dynamite in the pres- j ent cotton situation for the cotton- 1 growing farmer,” are the warning words used by H. G. Hastings, presi dent of the Southeastern Fair Asso ciation and the Georgia Chamber of! Commerce, in an interview given to the newspapers here urging farmers not to increase their cotton acreage. “Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at planting time in spring,” he says, "is the bait that will lure hundreds of thousands of farmers in the south to each put in a few extra acres, and ! should nature smjle on the crop as in 1914, we will come nearer a twenty million bale crop than 20 cents per j pound, for evidence multiplies daily j that they are planting right up to • the graveyard,’ as it is sometimes ex pressed. “On the Hastings farm we don’t ex pect to put in an acre more of cotton than we did last year, because we think it a time above all others to play safe. W*hat we will increase to j the limit of our ability will be food, grain and forage, beef cattle and ; hogs. “The safe way is to first supply all needs of family and stock from one's own acres, and then put surplus acre age in cotton. With bread and meat in hand, and a garden producing steadily through spring, summer and fall; with home canned vegetables and fruits on closet shelve* for winter ta ble use; with cor" in the crib and hay and fodder in the barn or stack, tho farmer can be largely indeyonuent of cotton prices in the fall.

Nothing we gave her seemed to help her, until one day Mrs. Neibert asked me to try Vinol, and now she is hungry all the time, her cough is gone, she is stouter and has a more healthy color.
