Friday, April 2 1, 1911 PLANS FOR COUNTY FAIR ARE COMPLETED AND PREMIUM LIST ANNOUNCED TO CONTESTANTS TEie City’s Stand For Health. C ity council intends to do its pari in keeping the people of the city healthy. War on the flies, mosquitoes and other diseare promoting agencies will be a part of the city's business this year. It is figured out that precaution and law enforcement on the part of the city officially will not cost the municipality more than one spell of real sickness would cost one family in actual money, to say nothing of suffering and sickness and possib'e death. That's right commendable, to say the least, of the citv's guardians According to plans proposed citizens must be careful not to put any trash out on the street in any old fashioned way, Appearances must bo im proved and some co-operation given on the part of the people. ' Premises must be kept clean and it wont take such strong evidence to prove a nuis ance in the recorder's court. You must slop up all old wells and cisterns, put oil in them, do everything to keep down the mosquitoes and disease germs. Keep the stables cleaned out and if you haven's one see that your neighbors keep theirs in good shape. This question of health has passed the theoretical standpoint. Doctois, practical men and scientists, have agreed that the common housefly and the common mosquito constitute barriers against health, lithe two pests are kept down there is little else to fear Irom malaria or typhoid. Think about what it means to you, to your family, to your neighborhood and do every thing possible to aid in this work of keeping down disease. It will benefit everybody and do harm to no one. To help further in this work the city is going to give away quite a lot of disinfectant—the great germ destroyer, the health promoter. You want to get your share ol it, keep the place clean, help fight the battle lor health and the victory will belong to you and to the city. It will raise the city’s standard and do many things lor the general advancement of this city and section. Enforce The Vagrant Lav A town infested with human parasites is about the worst community that can be found. Yet Milledgeville is in about tins condition. There has been no attempt to entorce the vagrant law here in several years. Surely the police and other citizens acquainted with the denizens of the city w'ho are habitual loafers. Employers of labor complain that it is virtu ally an impossibility to get regular workers and that half of the class who ought to be at work are merely loafing. This state of affairs is a disgrace to the town. Something must be done to remedy it and co-operation on the part of the people is urged. In Milledgeville the situation is extremely disgusting. Price.', paid to house girls, cooks and other women, including the average laundry women, are outrageous for the result given. Yet these working negro women and girls must get this, togelhei with their food, old clothes given them and food taken home, in order to supply the vagrant class, to pay a royalty or tribute to laziness. It’a up to the people of Milledgeville to remonstrate. They should de mand that the police exert extraordinary vigilance and perseverance in this particular. Dtive out the drones, put them to work and there will be more progress noted. This is an introduction to wnat may come later if there is not some change made. Let’s have a little difference perceptible during tlie next week. LEMONS AND THE TARIFF KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME.

The plans for the Baldwin county school fair are com plete and there is every indication of great success attend ing the movement. Miss Kstelle Bozeman, supervisor of the county schools for the Peabody Board has done an im mense amount of work and announces the following: The object of this fair is to awaken greater interest in school work, to call forth keener appreciation of those sub jects relating to the home ami farm, and to give a broader conception of education and the work of the school. The fair is the resultof the efforts of Miss Estelle Boze- inuii, special supervisor of the county schools. Miss Boze man’s expenses have been paid entirely from the funds coming from the Peabody Board, and she was appointed to work in Baldwin county by President M. M. Parks, of the G. X. and I, College, who was asked by the agent of the Peabody Fund to select the teaelier and the county for this work. Laurens is the only other county in Georgia having such a supervisor, under the support of the Peabody Fund. This work of supervision has the support and interest of State School Commissioner, M. L. Brittian, and of Prof. R. H. Powell, State Supervisor of Schools. Also Gov. Elect. Huke Smith has given his encouragement and assistance to this work, lie is a member of the Peabody Board that vot ed the appropriation, ami he lias always been an ardent ad vocate of progressive movements in the improvement of rural schools. Dr. A. P. Bourland, of Washington, I). ('., one of the agents of the Peabody Fund, has also given his active co-opcration ami during last full made a personal visit lo the county schools. The Board of Education of Baldwin county, has given its approval to the work, and County School Commissioner N. H. Bullard, has given much of his time, interest and help. Tho editors of the Milledgeville papers have rendered valuable aid, the merchants and business men have been exceeding liberal in offering the prizes to the school child- ren, and the citizens throughout the county have endorsed the work looking toward the improvements for their child ren. General Sugg estions Relating to The Fair. 1. The teachers of tho respective schools should feel responsible for the work of each individual pupil. Any hoy or girl in the county within the school age may enter the contest with the school of his or her commu nity. No restriction is made as to the number of contests each pupil may enter, hut the prizes go to those who do the best, consequently concentration of effort is sure of its re ward. 4. Each school desiring to be in the parade must pro vide floats made of farm wagons decorated in farm products and school colors. 5. The show windows of R. H. Wootten’s store will be used for a display of the prizes the week preceding the fair, and a display of the winningarticles, the week after. at the business, though tho taiiff was per car. ■with reciprocity there will be much benefit coming to Georgia and the c->un- going off to other places to get jobs. Realestate values would rise, and every man that owns property would get try at large will profit and proeper divulend in the gain in value or his hold- through this action j - g Mr. Taft tells the lighting Mexicans Wild bullets from the Mexicans have killed several Americans at Douglas. ! ^ get a way f ro ,n theTirde’r.
