" DOLLAR AND A HALF PER YEAR
S. E. Fair, Waycross, Week Nov 12-17 VISIT FAIRS FOR INSPIRATION Florida State Fair Nov. 22nd, to Dec. Ist.
Great Beginning of Southeast Georgia
Fan---Waycross a Real Hostess.
Wednesday was nne day off that
we enjoyed fullv and feel that we
were amply repaid for taking the
trip to Waycross. First meeting
with our brethern of the pressis
a great pleasure for we unot only
get inspiration from them, but find
we all have similiar problems to
meet. Then we get something
worth while from those that “talk
out in meeting,” like on this occas
ion we got an earful from the taiks
of Editors Jack Williams, w. G.
Sutliff, and Miss Emily Wcodward,
President of our State Association.‘
I was told that a lawyer and a
preacher had said something be
fore we arrived, but am sure it
could not have improved the fla
vor of what we did get
Jack Williams was re-eiected
president, and Editor Sutliff, of
Secretary. That is a live pair and
we are hoping more of ‘the boys”
will be at the next meeting the 4th |
Monday in June at Pearson.
That reminds me, my esteemed
friend. Editor Allen was there and|
gave the invitation for us to be his|
guest and we think the district ed-l
itors ought to be there in full force‘l
and elfect
After the meeting, the Editors
were guest of the” Chamber of
Commerce at the Phenox Hotel.
Unlike the stag at bay that drank
his fili—we ate ougs. - With Ch
ly Gibsen presiding with dignity
and Secretary Elkans bland smile
with the delightful swging of the
charming voung we got some pleas
ure out of that huur, and a few
good laughs out of the after din
ner speeches.
We was sorry to see Editor Frier
so crippled up, but glad to known
he had broiler coming on help him
over the rough spots.
We were guesis ofthe Johnay
Jones Show in the afternoon and
enjoyed many of she attractions.
The have a combination of varie
ties shows that are d-cidedly en-‘
tertaining, amusing and iastructive
to all. Going up See the cow withi
the ‘ meidern’s skin” and parlor ofi
mirrors especially. ‘
The exhibits were creditable fnri
a first vear effort, Appling deser
vingly got the biue ribbcn. They |
covered more ground in their dis
play in sgricultural products and‘?
their arrangement was good. ;
Camden came in second best
As-they have jus' had a county
fair, their colleetion ol pr(>ducL~"
gave them just enough advantage
to edge in ahead of the others.
Next—third Jcff Davis captured ‘
a ribbon, bnt they only had it over
Charlton by a scratch. 1t seems
they filled in with a few telling
little signs that won a point or so]
to get third money.
So fourth in came Charlton with
a ribbon all her own. Now there
was nothing about their exhibit to
be ashamed of, It had some resl
fine agricultural products and by
products of the field and woods, as
well as home, There were walls
covered wi'th the art of women's
needle aod nrush, and the tasty
array of it ull was a silent testimo
ny that the hand that did it knew
its business, and next week we are
going tell you “who did it.”
The Agricultural Hall contained
a messge for hose who had an in
terest in what Southeast Georgia
can and does produce. Its speaks
in an impcessive way, its lesson to
enfold. and the first glance creates
interest thet holds.
’ Southeast Georgia Fair opened
wide its gates Monday at Way
cross in its inttial bow as a repre
sentative of this agricultural and
industrial center.
Teachers, athousand strong had
their Regional meeting, with a finc
orepared program, including fine
addresses by Educators of note.
Supt. Harris and the teachers of
Charlton weic al! present except
{two. From their reporis mueh
good was gotten out of the trip.
Quite a large number of our cit
izen went along with the teachers,
taking iu both the Educational
program, tune Fair and Johnny
Jones Midway Shows, all replete
with good features worth the lrip.|
~ The live stock display was not
as bulky as it might have been, but
had some good samples there.
Just a Note or Two
We met mMr. Tom Colson view
ing a thorough bred bull. Guess
he felt at home with seeing them.
Ran across Groom Brooks in the
chigken row. Now, hald on, we
‘mean fowls, not the chickens you
are thinking of, for we are both
lame ducks and can frusted, 3
“! hot dogs.” Hs
a natural thing to s ¢ people drift
around 1o the thing that interests
them,
Taking care of the Char(ton dis
play was Mrs. F, B. King and Miss
Ernestine Prescott. They are‘
staying there for the week and
are telling tolks what a nice place
Charlten is to live in,
In a Chrysier dispiay, by a hand
some sport roadster, looking the
pars, we found Leslie Norman,
Elevating our eyes we saw a sign
reading L. N. Ncrman & Co.,
Agents.” Leslie told us he was
now pushing the Chryler. and that
Charlton was in khis territory; th it
they intended moving ,there from
St. George soon, OF course lLe is
‘n his element when sells cars.
Rialit here Charlie Gibson bob
bed "up talking oil, telling Leslie
the Chrysler was a good car, and
(heirs was the kind of good oil to
oo with it. But he was welcom
ing Leslie to Waycross, so hegan
teli him what a fine Bible clacs
they had at the Baotist church and
that they save bim a seat Sunday.
That is a right way ic welcome a
newcomer to your town, |
OF course, County Agent Hur
sey was on the job. It was._fo
him that was left the gathering of
the exhibit, and considering the
disadvantages under which he jo+
bered, we sec no need of an apol
ogy. Hursey has been®staying on
‘he job night and day. Charle
dethel has been one of his stan
hye giving his time to the cause,
L In the Fair Edition of the Journ
al-Herald, Sunday; Secretary Bar
ker,of St. George Chamber of Com
meree,wrote an inter: sting story of
Churlton eoumy, which contain«d
some good poiuts on the grow'h
and agricultural pursuits of the
county. We intended printing it
but some one borrowed the paper,
as some so ks heve a habit of do
ing. o

Anniversary Service Sunday
Baptist Recognize Officers,
The First Anniversary of the
Rev. J D. Poindexter was celebra
ted last Sunday at the Baptist
church. The recognillon of the
church and Sunday School officers
was the intrcductory of the days
service. Leports from the aiffer
ent vrganizations of the church
showed membership iu the church
and Sunday School 100 per cent
increase, and almost trippled in fi
nancial support and the pleasing
report of not a singie death.
Another interesting report was
that 14,000 chapters of the Bible
had been read*during the year. ‘
Last Sunday was the second
Sunday of the baptist regularl
Sunday service. 7There was a
fairly good sized conaregation‘
100 attended Sunday School, and
it was noticable that many of the
younger ones stated for preach
ing. Now that is fine and en
couraging to the pastor. You
know thai with someone lving
and breathing in a pew there is
a stimulation to help the pastor so!
much greater than the usuai
empty seat. Come our folks und
show your colors, the bouse of
God is yonr haven and the exam-|
ple proves that your belicf is real
in expressed Christianity.
M. Altman Hurt.
Mr. M. Altman was painful hu-t
last Sunday, when a horse he was
handling fell on him, bruising him
gbout the body and legs, which
were already erippled. Dr, MeCoy
attended him, aind we hope to soon
have him on his feet again, He
was laid up in bed the lest report
we had of him, :
in besketball. To do this the
organization must be supported
in its control of the teams and
players,

‘Enngeliuic Service Nightly
l " at Presbyterians Church
, —
The service beginning at the
Presbyterian Church last Sunday,
was the initiative of a week of
Evangelistic Service. We enjoy
ing hearing Elder Welter Way, of
Savannah, give us a splendid ser
mon at the ‘mornirg hour, K/now
ing the gentlemen and not having
seen him for 30 years, it was a
greater arivilege than we expected
to walk in cn him unexpectedly
and hear sach a splendid sermon
from a layman, He also gave a
good talk at the afiernoon service.
Rev. Miller arrived Monday via
Brunswick for the further econ
ducting of the Evangelistic Service
at the Presbylerian seryice,
He has been giving some fine
sermons this week, The atten
dance has been fair, but not us
good as the sermons deserved,
The service continues right on
until Sunday, when they are to
close with the morning and after
noon service, The Baptist church
will give way at the morning hour
we understand and make the
service a larger one, J
Brazilian Grass.
We have heen shown a nice
sample of Brazilian grass, with a
few prones foit, it measuecd 129
feet. That was the growth ob
tained from a May planting. It
stands wet weather line and seems
to be our way of figuring that it is
the best grass obtainable for the
low spots as it likes moisture
‘Mr C. J. Clements grew the sam
ple and soys that from roows it
igrown. He got the origital from
Brazil u few years ago, but brought
the present sample from Fiorids
It will make more lonnage on an
acre of ground than any other
grass according to this year's trial
test by Mr, Clements,
VOLUME XXX!: NUMBER 28
~ Hello World? That’s the Radio
way of saluting 10 listeners in.
Now we will have the opportu
nity of hearing a local man greet
us through the air next week from
Nashville over WLAC in an hour
program, nightly for the week, on
"Georgia’s Agricultural Develop
'm,ent and Its Possibilities.”” There
are ten speakers chosen, with the
varied interests and possibities
covered by speakers that know
these subjerts and they are being
worked into a story complete in
detail so as to cover our story of
the state that can live wholly
within itself.
Dr, Williams and our good friend
Mayor Turner, of Fitz_ erald, will
be on the program, Wednesday
night, sotune in and give earto
what our local booster has to say.
As president of the Southeast
Georgia Co-Operative Association,
Dr. Williams was chosen to discuss
three subjects, namely—"oOur Pine
Foredt, Educational Expansion and
Rural Health,” something that we
have experienced and which the
Doctor is capable of handling nice
ly and interestingly.
This program was arranged by
Mr. F. H. Abbott, who is deing yeo

Our friend Mr. Joe. Moore is a
fine fellow. We have’ known it
all the while, and since he has
been down on {l‘ld river and Bill
Smith has shown him that there
are fish in the Satilla, he has ex
'mplified what a jolly good fellow
is he. Thursday evening his good
lady swamped the camp with
some’ 30 ladies, on a pop call
Well Joe got a tip they were
coming so gave them a [lish fey.
136 brim were fried to ecrisp
brown and the side flxirg were
with them, so the ladies hid the
times of their lives in eating fish,
They expressed thems:lves as be.
ing “'fed up on fish.”
Friday evening tue tip for men
to have a clean up campaign was
dropped in Democratic circles, so
the response was prempt and work
suffciient §and theyjmust have been
oid line demoerats as believing in
“free trade.” as shown in the fish
disappearing. We ate more fish
than we ever ate before, and the
reason migbf have been because
they kept coming, as the pans hot
toms showed, or that we thought
our capacity as much as the train
ed destroyers of fryed fish, We
noticed some of the fellows going
from to pan ‘o pan, but we let wel|
enough alone and stayed with one
dish, In the chatking up the ex.
perts we found that they lined up
lined up like this: 1. E, Mailard

we con't tell him a thing about
