Employing in the tire business the
old ideas of repairing worn and unser
viceable shoes, the Georgia Double-
Tread Tire Co. have perfected a re
markable invention whereby automo
bile casings are virtually resoled. Dis
carded casings are repaired in weaker
parts, then one is cemented and press* d
on the other, then lockstitched on the
side. The whole is finished off like a
new casing, and because of the thick
ness of the tread being from 8 to 12 ply
of fabrics and rubber, the casing is
practically puncture and blowout proof.
Any size or make tire will be accepted
for renewal. The price varies accord
ing to 3ize—$3.50 to $7.25. For further
information apply to Coweta Garage,

To the Citizens of Coweta Connty:
To the loyal supporters of the good
work now being done in this county I
beg to say it is the custom in every
county that has a farm demonstration
agent to offer prizes each fall to the
boyH and girls enthuastic along the
same line. This helps you, helps the
town, helps make farm life attractive,
and is 1 ying a foundation for profita
ble scientific farming. When we en
courage the farmer bov or girl it iH
not necessary to say the fathers and
mothers would lend a helping hand,
and put as much enthusasm in any
good movement as the boys and girls
themselves would do. It is nothing
but right that we encourage the boys
and girls in their efforts; who demon
strate to us and place the fruits of
their labor on exhibition in order that
the entire county may be touched.
And right here let me Bay one spark of
enthusiasm will have a wonderful in
fluence over the man who haH not yet
tried the practical, scientific way of
making more per acre at the same ex
pense—or, we’ll say, twice us much
per acre at just the least bit more ex
pense per acre. Show me the man who is
not in sympathy with the sharp-witted,
clever, practical furmer boy or girl who
is making experiments which, Bhown
to tlie community, will open the eyes of
the shrewdest farmer and point out
to him that he has here the beBt farm
ing county in Georgia; —and of course
we all know when we have the beBt in
Georgia we have the best land that is.
It is up to us to make it pay; and
some are making it pay — making it
pay far better than you might expect.
They are making strides which would
be a reflection on the good people of
this county if their efforts were not
emphasized and encouraged as they
should. However, it is needless to say
Buch will be the case in this county —
your county. This fall we muHt see
that the farmer boys and girls have the
proper backing to enable them to place
on exhibition at the court-house the
fruits of experiments made by them
which are worth seeing, and show merit
on the part of the exhibitor. The best
business brains of the country, backed
by capital, are behind this movement
of practical, scientific farming. Why
not pay the price of progress and put
Coweta county in the front rank, and
make the career of our young farmers
who will have to handle the future a
scintillating triumph? They are push
ing forward with faith that their suc
cess along this line will Le rewarded,
and when we offer prizes as a stimulus
their faith is justified. There is going
to be an exhibit by the Corn Club boys
and the Canning Club girls at the court
house next fall. It will take money to
do this, and you will be called upon to
contribute. It is going to be a success.
We all like to join in anything that is
good for the community. The public
mind is keen on such movements. Do
not let your name be one of those that
does not appear on the subscription
list. Your name on such a list will
make your fellow-man think more of
you, and will make you think more of
yourself. J. H. Black well,
Demonstration Agent.
