A GOAL HUNG OUT
TO US
As a basis of comparison, the
county fair held last week reflects
the wonderful process of t’io
county over the past years. The
fair just closed more truly begins
to represent the idea.s of a rt.u
fair than any in our history.
Two big objects should stand
out as goals to be reached by a
fair, it seems to us—educational
and social value. Progress in toe
endeavors of the people, always *
inspirational and always a ge.ier*
ator of worthy pride in doing bet
ter next year, is an object that is
eminently wPhin the domain of
the county fair. To see how the
other members of the county body
are realizing from their systems
and efforts, cannot but create a
deeper interest in progress. Es
pecially is this true in the case of
the younger element in our coun
ty society. This year’s fair, then
more than in previous years, ac
cented this thought, because while
the exhibits in some of the depart
ments were not as large as in for
mer years, the quality, the grad
ing and the manner of display
were of a superior type.
For people from all sections of
the county to mingle with each
other for two days, with the coun
ty fair as the object of their as
sembling, is a social value that
creates better county conscious
ness and is a happy time of renew- .
ing and establishing and creating
relations that are ennobling, ele
vating and making for the feeling
of one-ness of all the people of the
eounty. The harmonizing, co-oper
ative and closeness feeling such a
mingling engenders, makes us all
feel as if we were one great hu
man fnmily, identified with the
same interests, partners of the
same opportunities and co-work
ers toward the same goal. Tin
feature should be emphasized
more at our fairs and nothing
should, ever be permitted to de
stroy any of its spirit.
We feel that the fair of last
week was a real impetus to all
worthy endeavors in Walker,
county, and though it was not
perfect, it hung out an ideal to
ward which we as people and a
county may strive for the right
kind of progress and the right
kind of living.

LET US PUT IT OVER
Much has been said and written
on a definite diversified program
of agriculture in this county with
in the past- several months. The
hog, cow and hen program, ns it
was and is being carried to a suc
cessful issue in Georgia counties,
has been held before our county,
a county that promises greater
returns than them all, if the ag
ricultural and business interest;
of the county will adopt it and sec
that it is put over.
Next Thursday the Bth the state
agent will be in this county. In
the afternoon he will be at Chick
amauga and at night he will be
at LaFayette. He will discuss a
definite program for Walker coun
ty. Business men of evgry sort,
farmers and all others who are
Interested in the development of
Walker county are urged to at
tend the meetings in their respect
ive sections.
Something definite will be adopt
ed at these meetings after the mat
ter has been carefully and tho
roughly discussed, or the plan will
doubtless be abandoned as a pro
gram for 1924.
If you are interested in your
county, your community, yourself,
make it a point to be at one of
these’ meetings and come prepar
ed to act. It is important and it is
up to us, if Walker county is to
adopt a program that will revo
lutionize our system of agricul
ture and enter upon a sane, sensi
ble, substantial era of prosperity.
Every banker, professional and
business man must take his stand
with the farmer in co-operation in
such a plan, which will mean mo
ney to us all. When the farmer
prospers all business prospers and
when the farmer fails business is
on the bum. • Co-operation, the
banker and business man with the
farmer, and the farmer with the
banker and business man, is the
only system that will get the re
sults we are entitled to in Walker
county. Lets do it and get to work
in earnest for our county and its
people.
WALKER SHIPPED
FIRST
Paul W. Chapman, special cor
respondent to the Atlanta Journal
in an article in the magazine sec
tion of the Sunday Journal recent
ly, stated in commenting on the
poultry industry of the state, that
fortneen months ago the first car
load of poultry that ever moved |
from a country shipping point in
Georgia was sold at Griffin, and
that since that time 115 car loads j
of poultry have been sold co-op
eratively by Georgia farmers.
Each of these cars brought not
less than S2OOO and contained on
the average 6000 birds. )
In May 1921 a car load of poul
try was shipped from
by Otto Morgan, made up
the farms of Walker county. 3$ /
Chapman overlooked the fact t n£)[
probably Walker county was y
first county in Georgia to shi| fZf
car load of poultry in the stJ*
Also over S3OOO were realized VK
less than 3800 birds. 1

This part of the hog, cow and
hen program is well under Way in ■
Walker. Interest in the other two
of the trio is growing in this coun
ty, but all three must be adopteu
as a program for 1924, and the
program followed on a county
wide scale.
One mile of oiling the road from
the National Park to tee and Gor

with An-uric, my Kidney-
Backache Tablet.
Result of 50 years of Analyses
in a Great Hospital.
Fifty years ago, my father, the
late Dr. Kay V. Pierce, established
the famous Invalids’ Hotel at Buf
falo, N. Y.. surrounding himself
with a staff of skilful pnysicians,
surgeons and chemists. To this
great institution comes a steady
stream of patients from far and
wide.
A great percentage of these
patients are affdtteii with kidney
disease and. many other thousands
of kidney sufferers who do not come
for treatment send samples for
analysis.
So, here at the Invalids’ Hotel,
diagnosis and treatment of kidney
trouble has been going on incessant
ly for fifty years.
Realizing tne groat need for an
effective home remedy to correct
kidney troubles in their early
stages, I put our staff to work on
the problem. In time they worked
out an ideal formula, which, it was
found, could be put up in handy
tablet form.
I named this remedy ’’An-uric,"
because by strengthening the elimi
native action of the kidneys, it
works to free the sufferer from the
evil effects of uric acid upon the
nerves and joints.
1 want all who suffer from weak
kidneys, kidney backache and uric
acid poisoning to have their first
Au-unc treatment at my expense.
It isn’t necessary to write—just
pin this advertisement to a scrap of
paper bearing your full name and
address and mail it to me.
This offer is intended for those
who have to get up in the night,
who ate tired and lame every morn
ing, who suffer with aching back,
dizzy spells, mysterious headaches,
darting pains, sore, swollen joints
and any notiieable irregularity of
the kidney action.
