ed by Henry Ford & Son, Dearborn,
Mich., being widely demonstrated
throughout the country, will be sold
by the Benson Motor Company, of
thjg city, during the coming fall.
The Benson Company- recently ac
cepted the agency for this newly Im
proved plowing machine and they ex
pect to have a shipment of the in
struments within the next two or three
weeks, if not at an earlier date.
The Fordson Tractor has a twonty-

ing developed by kerosene, while the

both riins and spoks. The tractor has
a speed cf one and one-hajf mires to

ments designed to save labor and more

HOT WEATHER CALLS
HALT ON ACTIVITIES
Milledgeville and this section experi
enced the effpets of the hottest wea
ther felt hr in a numbr of years dur
ing the past week, temperature going
so high as to almost cease business ac
tivities, with the exception of abso
lutely necessary industries.
During several hours of Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday nnd Friday the
mercury registered around one hun
dred degrees in the shade and the at
mospheric conditions were so as to
make it almost impossible for one to
become ordinarily active and at thi
same time endure the extreme heat.
aSturday morning a light rainfall
visited this section and caused a de
cided drop in the temperature and
greatly benefit ting all growing crops
as well as bringing abcut a relief from-
the unusual heat.
