T O Y S CHRISTMAS Headquarters, Elf Station Fairyland, Nov. 16, 1914 Coweta County Folks, Care of Your Home: While my headquarters are at Elf Station in Fairyland, it is hard to find me there, as I am ever scouring the Toy Lands of the World in order to bring happiness to the family fireside. This year my pack is bigger and better than ever before. The inspiration which I gather from year to year on my annual Christ mas visit from the happy faces of little children, and their faith in my sure appearance, has made it possible for me to surmount all obstacles and situations. It is my desire to locate for them some merchant in every town and city in our glorious Southland who will handle a line of toys ranging in price from 5c to $1, so that none of my little friends will be disappointed Christmas morning. It has been my happy luck to visit Newnan, Ga., and find there The McClure Ten-Cent Company well equipped in space and management to take care of a line of toys; so I have contracted with them for my headquarters in Coweta county. Thanking you for your patronage of my selection and good-bye until Christmas Eve, I am yours truly, The Promoter of Little Folks’ Happiness, SANTA CLAUS.

The cost of producing cotton aver ages about 8 24 cents a pound, or $20.35 an acre, according to Assistant Chief Nat C. Murray, of the Federal bureau of crop estimates. These statistics, the latest available on the Bubject, are the results of the investigation made in 1910. A Bimilar investigation in 1896 showed the production cost was 5.27 cents a pound, or $15.42 an acre. Many inquiries (due, no doubt, to the great decline in price of coi ton, which on Nov. 1 averaged 6.3 cents a pound to producers, compared with 12.1 cents, the average for the paBt five years on Nov. 1,) have been received by the Department of Agriculture. It is pointed out by Dr. Murray that the two investigations indicate a material increase in the money cost of produc ing cotton between the two periods, the increase averaging more than 3 per cent, a year.

Franklin News and Banner: “From expressions coming from farmers we infer that many of them are as utterly diBgusted with (he 'sell-a- bale’ slogan as they were with the ‘buy-a-bule’ dodge. The fact is, many farmers do not appreciate the wholesale advice that has been dished out to them dur ing recent mi nths. Still, it begins to look like Heard county farmers are go ing to have something besides cotton to sell next season.” A North Georgia exchange summar izes the accomplishments of the coun try editor as follows: “To run a newspaper all a fellow has to do is to be able to write poems, dis cuss the tariff and money questions, umpire a baseball game, report a wed ding, suw wood, describe a fire bo that the readers will shuck their wraps, make $1 do the work of $10, shine at a dance, abuse the liquor habit, subscribe to charity, go without meals, attack free silver, invent advertisements, sneer at snobbery, overlook scandal, appraise babies, minister to the afflicted, heal the disgruntled, fight at the drop of a hat, set type, mould opinions, sweep the office, speak at prayer-meeting, and stand in with everybody and every thing.” 80ME RED CROS8 8EAL FIGURE8.

S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Experts base their estimate on the shrinkage of prices this year compared with those of laBt year. This year’s prices are the lowest that have prevailed since 1898. Cotton prices on Nov. I averaged 6.3 cents per pound, while a year sgo the price was 13 cents. This reduction rep resents a total shrinkage for lint cot ton of about $426,000,000, Few men are wise enough to render one little word sufficient. Strassburg Cathedral's Clock.
