Thousands of dollars also will be awarded to owners of hogs; Duroc- Jerseys, Hampshires, Poland-Chinas and Berttshires alone will draw more than $4,000 in prizes. There will be a fat cattle and a fat" hog department of the show, and car-load exhibits of “feeders" and “grain fed" cattle.

On August 15th 1923 the death Angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs A L Caldwell and gently bore' away the precious spirit of tlieir son Bailey. He was sick only a short time tho during that time he suffered much. He was eighteen years of age. Oh it was so hard to give him up but God above knew best. We cannot wish him back in this old world to suffer but rather re joice he is at rest. His death came so unexpected we can hardly realize that he is dead because just one week beforr his ‘ death, he visited our home. Weep not dear parents,brothers and sisters he is not dead but only asleep in Jesus. “He is gone but not forgotten, never will his memories fade, sweetest thoughts will ever linger around the grave where he is laid. Written by his friends Ella Mae and Hazel Kemper.

Perry had the pleasure of listen ing to an address on Tuesday evening delivered by Mr. Dan- dridge Spotswood a geologist and mining engineer. Mr. Spotswood. has made a spe cial study of the limestone in this countryand isfully conversant with the natural resources of our vici nity to render a very accurate de-, scripbion of them. He held the careful attentions of his audience for tnoro than an hour without notes, yet giving an abundance of statistical knowledge as tho re* suit of his studies in tho various economical matters involved in Ms profession. Mr. Spotswood charalerizes our limestone as one of the purest ty pes of argillaceous (clayey) lime stones existing in the United Stated and that he did nob know any other qnite similar to this save the “Selma Formation” in Alabama. Mr. Spotswood stated that many of the large oement plants would etablish branch oper ations in Georgia and Alaban Q that the Southern states only con tained approximately one-t enth of the cemeut plants of the United States and that cement could be manufactured for a great deal less than in the jnove northern locali ties and besides there wou’d be tremendous saving in freight, in supplying the South with a south ern product. But what he pre dicted as even greater sources of natural wealth in the future was the possiblity of lignite (baby or young coal.) This be said had been discovered at from 150 to 250 feet in depth from locations ''oh the ridge land south of Perry. Ho told us how the German per | pie were taking a pound of lignite and converting it into one-half a pound of fuol of “anthrneite coal” equivalent in heat value* That the by-products in sulphate o£'- ,/ amonia, pitch, fuel gas, were to a large extent sufficient to offset all costs. Mr. Spotswood predicted that carbon black now made from wasting vast quanities of natural gas would in the future be made from lignite. This earbon black is at present supplying ninety per cent of the contents of commeicial rubber. Mr. Spotswood called our attention to the fact, that witjiin the vie ini (y of Perry there were many geological conditions, favor ing oil and gas, that he thought the time not far distant that some concern might speculate in such activities here. That he hoped that his remarks might not lead to injudicious in oil, that lands should bo leased only for develop ment and not for speculative in tent. He advised cautionary pro cedure jn such matters. ^ is mission he stated was cbi< fl i reference to limestone as ai * cable to cement and that be was osfc favorably impressed. Mr. potswood used the straight from le shoulder method of addressing hjs audience and telling them plainly what the state government communities and civic bodies should do to bring about oommer- mercial development met with most favorable response. We hope to again have him ad dress us Friday uonn manufactua- ing industries that might follow from lignite operations.
