The Milledgeville News big Sub
scription contest is already reaching
an exciting stage and the contest
ants in the campaign have manifest
ed their increasing interest by leaps
and hounds during the last few days.
There is much territory that has
not as yet been covered by those who
are contesting for the valuable priz
es offered in The News Contest,
though the roads leading out into dif
ferent directions are being opened up
preparatory to invading untouched
sections. The various prizes to be
awarded in the contest are being
participating in the struggle for sup
eriority. The Ford Touring Car is
the prize to be awarded to the con
testant raising the largest number of
subscriptions. Quite naturally prac
tically everybody wants an automo
bile and the determination to win
this machine is causing unusual all
round interest by all those participat
ing in the campaign that is being
waged. Also, everyone working in
the contest are free in making the
assertion that hardly any one prize
could excel a handsome living room,
Eed room, Dining room suit such
as will be awarded as the second
prize in the offer made by The News
to those working in the campaign for
raising subscriptions.
In view of the fact the contest is
now well on the way, it is expected
new territory will be entered by the
contestants within the next two or
three days. A reaching out for many
more subscriptions will doubtless be
made by all workers and according to
all appearances the contest is
just now commenced to warm up.
Right now nothing is being left un
done anywhere by the contestants
campaigning for more Milledgeville
News subscribers with the object of
taking a handsome and valuable
prize as a reward for hard wo: k and
a persistent effort to stay in advance.
The bonus prize offered the past
week for the largest number of sub
scriptions turned in by last Thurs
day, went to Mrs. \V. H. Collins.
$5.00 BONUS PRIZE
To contestant turning in thee larg
est number of subscriptions between
Tuesday of this week and Friday of
next week, a prize of $5.00 will be
given. All votes must he turned in
by six (6) o’clock Friday afternoon,
new subscriptions and renewals
counting the same.
A feature that should not be over
looked is the fact that 100,000 bonus
votes will be given contestants for
each fifteen dollars ($15.00) turned
in between Wednesday morning of
this week and Friday afternoon of
next week, November 10th. The
time for receiving subscription funds
on this bonus contest will expire at
six o’clock Friday afternoon, Novem
ber 10th. $15.00 turned in will mer
it 100,000 bonus votes, $30.00 merit
200,000; $45.00, merits 300,000;
$00.00, will net 400,000 extra votes,
etc.
Those having a choice amongst the
several contestants should not over
look the fact that right now they can
benefit most by turning in their sub
scriptions, as with the passing of
each week bonus votes for cash turn
ed in arc getting less in number, and
that bonus votes count the same as
others in the matter of winning a
prize.
People living in various sections
of llaldwin and adpoining counties
will he approached during the next
few daws with a request to become
subscribers to The Milledgeville
News. The time for enrrying on this
contest is limited and the contestants
bavo become fully awakened to this
fact and they are going out with the
purpose of hitting the iron while it
| s hot. The idea of hitting and miss
ing by the vnrious contestants in
d he News contest has been discarded
am| gotten down to the point of a de
termination to make a hit with every
stroke:

Milledgeville Nursery Company To
Make Preparation For Large
Sale Of Young Trees Next
Season.
During the month of December the
Milledgeville Nursery Company will
bud forty thousand pecan trees at
the nursery located on the place
leased from Mr. Terry Treanor just
across the Oconee river.
Mr. S. C. Patterson, manager of
the nursery, states that the trees to
be budded next month will be put
on sale during the fall and winter of
next year. The Milledgeville Nurs
ery Company was established less
than two years ago and since has
made decided progress.
The company has a long time lease
on a number of acres of land belong
ing to Mr. Terry Treanor and upon
this land there are thousands upon
thousands of trees that will be sold
at fancy prices. Preparations arc
now being made to advertise the
young pecan trees and according
to the present outlook the concern
bids fair to achieving great success
in its undertaking.
It is a recognized fact that the
soils in this section of Georgia are
particularly well adapted to the
growing of pecans and doubtless the
fact that the management of the
Milledgeville Nursery has received
demands recently for many thous
ands of pounds of nuts that cannot
be filled on account of inability to
secure them in this section.

Rev. C. M. Lipham, pastor of the
Methodist Chhrch, will next Sunday
morning and evening preach his final
sermons before the convening of the
North Georgia Conference. will
leave early Tuesday morning for At
lanta.
Mr. Lipham is busy this week clos
ing out his year’s work, and round
ing up the Conference assessments.
He is meeting with success, and the
prospects are that he will report all
of them paid in full. In his report
to Conference he will show that
there have been a number of adi-
ditions to the church during the year,
and that the various departments ef
the church have done good work.
Mr. Lipham is ending his third
year as pastor of the Milledgeville
church and during this time the
church has made advancement along
all lines. He has not only been the
pastor and preacher, but has made
and supervised plans looking to the
preservation of the church building;
the completion of the Sunday School
room, and the beautifying of the
grounds. He has interested the
young people and organized an Ep-
worth League that stands out as one
of the most important departments
of the church.
It is impossible to foretell the ac
tion of the Conference in making ap
pointments, hut it is probable that
Mr. Lipham will be returned next
year and complete four years’ ser
vice.
