Co-operalion is a much-used

Advertising in a nutshell just
tells the people what you have,
where you have it and on just

THE FAIR IS ON
Perhaps no two days in the
year are more enjoyable and make
for greater efforts for material
progress in the county than the
Walker County Fair days. The as
sembling of the county’s products
always creates interest in better
agriculture and this is an agri
cultural county.
This year the fair officials have
striven to make the fair more rep
resentative of the county’s real
farm and home life, and all de
partments of the fair promise to
exceed any previous fair.
Plans are being worked out and
have been partially completed this
year, to provide a suitable place
and furnish adequate equipment
for displaying our products to the
best advantage. Year by year the
plan will be improved until Walk
er will soon have a home without
u burden on anybody ,in which to
show Walker County in her true
light.
Promise of community exhibits,
live stock, and poultry displays
in excess of former fairs have
been made, and if weather condi
tions are at all likely, the people
of the county will have the best
fuir of any previous year.
A cordial invitation is extended
not only to everybody in this coun
ty but to the surrounding counties
to come and enjoy with Walker
county people their annual fair.
The extra session of the legis
lature to do something with the
tax system of the state, may not
be apparently very successful and
yet again it may; anyway, one
thing has been done and that is
that more, real, constructive study
of Georgia’s financial problems
has been done this year than in
any other twenty-five years, and
we believe that out of that study,
something sane, good and practi
cal for Georgia will be evolved.
The tax problem is a big one and
it takes time and concerted
thought to work out a fair system
but we are on the way, if rotten
politic-! can be kept out of the fig
uring.
Ail roads lead to the Walker
County Fair!

Did you ever hear of a skin game?
Whether you have or not, read this
and you will always know what a
skin game really is. While some of
our best citizeqns are behind this
company, and their argument sounds
good, we are a little ticklish about
advising anyone to buy stock until
they have figured it out for them
selves. They claim to have a good
cat ranch, and also a good rat ranch,
already located. We get the following
particulars out of the Macon papers.
To start with, we will collect about
100,000 cats. Each cat will average
twelve kittens a year. That would
give us 1,200,000 skins a year to sell
at, say, an average of 30c apiece—
the skins running from 10c each for
white ones to 75c for the pure black
—making our revenue about 1,000 a
day. A man can skin fifty cats a day
for $2.00. It wiH take 100 men to op
erat ethe ranch, and therefore the net
profit will be about S9BO per day.
We wi(l feed the cats on rats and
will start a rat ranch next door. The
rats will multiply four times as fast
as the cats, and we will start with
enough rats to give each cat four
rats a day, which is enough.
Now then, we will feed the rats on
carcasses of the cats from which the
skins have been taken, givng each
rat one fourth of a cat. It will thus
be seen that the business will be self
supporting and automatic all the way
through—the cats will eat the rats
and the rats will eat the cats and we
will get the skins.
Now you can figure this out, and I
am sure you will see where there is
a fortune for these shrewd promot
ers.
A young lady was telling a thrill
ing near accident story about another
young lady being almost struck by a
Ford up North Main street, and in
running out of the way she acciden
tally fell bruising her somewhat.
Weil, well, this is bad news, we sup
pose, but we still don’t know where
she was bruised.
—O—
Helen Topping Miller has a good
story, "Nobody Can Boss Mother.” If
this gifted Macon lady will come over
and spend a few days visiting the
families of this place, she can write a
big book on “Everybody Bosses Fath
er.” We are judging by our own fam
ily.
Some great doctor in the west
claims to have discovered a medicine
that will mak;! a man forget all civ
ilized principles and place him where
he will not know that civilization ir
on earth. While they are making i
gnat blow over this, it don’t intereit.
us. We have had that stuff all over
this county for years.
The Good Book says, “Take heed
that ye do not your alms before men,
to be seen of them." The whole popu
lation seems to have this on their
mind all the time, as we never see
very much of the alms business being
carried on. We all know how to do
charitable acts and get by with it
without anyone knowing about it. A
shrewd set, we are.
Well, we are not much on getting
into trouble by butting it to some
famil yaffair, but we came across one
last week that needs looking after by
the Ku Klux, or some other organi
zation. A certain “gentleman” in our
city, (folks speak of him as a gen
tleman), pays a cook, or any other
one who does work for him around
the house ,and never makes a kick.
Os course, there is nothing unusual
about this part of it. Now, this same
man, when his wife does the cooking,
>r the housework, draws h : s face up
- p -he 'no n, i- sb; tJ.:s
n.m U> pay her for this same work.
And the worst part of it, he simply
refuses to pay her a cent. Now, why
a man will not pay his wife for doing
work, just like he would any other
servant, is a puzzle to us. We are
proud to say there is only one of
these brutes in town, as far as we
can ascertain, and you can easily pick
him out by his remarks about what
the Rambler had to say.

ACT IN TIME
If you suffer from backache;
If you have headaches, dizzy spells;
If the kidney secretions are irregu

Don’t delay—likely your kidneys

LaFayette people recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills.
Here’s a LaFayette experience:
L B Day, carpenter, Napier Ave.,
says: “When I was a young man, I
strained my back while doing heavy
lifting. Since then I get a attack from
my kidneys once in a while. When an
attack comes on my back gets so lame |
I can’t stoop and the sharp pains be-1
come so intense that I have to place j
my hands on my back and draw my- j
self up. Mornings my back is so stiff i
I can hardly get out of bed. My kid
neys act too often and the secretions
are off color. I always resort to Doan’s
Kidney Pills and they never fail to
relieve me of an attack. I tried lots
of remedies but never got the desired
results, until I used Doan’s.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get j
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that

Atlanta, Ga.—“ During a time of
the ‘flu’ epidemic, in a mining town
in Tennessee, I found it necessary to
close my store, that I might act as
nurse. There were a great many
cases there at that time. We found
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery to be the best tonic for con
valescent patients. They all gained
strength rapidly on this treatment.
“My own case was no exception.
The 'Goden Medical Discovery’ gave
tone to the digestive organs and en

restoring me to a general healthy
condition.”—J. M. Kitchersid, 154

Obtain the Discovery in tablets or
liquid at your nearest drug store or
