CHARLTON COUNTY HERALD. " 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 Let evervbod’go the Feir. lis worth the trip, OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY OF CHARLTON.

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, Booster Program of Georgia for Radio Includes Dr. Williams as Speaker.

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 man service in letting the World kuow our story; of ghaortusity e ’w& P AT e —— 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.
