_. Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—Fun and
plenty of it will be the slogan at the
first annual Southeastern Fair in At
! lanta, October 14 to 21, inclusive
You can plan for it right now by
^VT.rr,*'? jOne oi the little blue keys for ^ fifty
;cents, which will admit you to the fair,
’and may result in malting you tire
-owner of a thousand dollar Reo auto¬
mobile on the closing night,
1 This little blue key is nothing more
nor less than an admission ticket with
which you unlock the gate yourself,
and at the same time put your name
'on the list of those from whom the
lucky owner of the Reo automobile
will be chosen. These keys wifi be
on sale in every country bank in
Georgia before October 1. They are
good for admission just like a ticket.

Go Over To “Larkland”
When you use the blue key and pass
in, you may look around at the exhib¬
its which are going to draw $60,000 in
prizes, or you may run right on over
to “Larkland,” where all sorts of fun
and frolic will be ready for you.
Larkland is a Coney Island all to
itself transplanted to Lakewood. There
as an old mill boat ride through caves
and tunnels with magnificent scen¬
ery, all ready for the frolic. This
fa the only device of its kind at a
Southern Fair, and it cost $14,000.
TEACH YOUR BOY A TRADE
How can the percentage of crime
among boyu be decreased? It is sim¬
ple. Teach the boy a trade, incul¬
cate in him the work habit Lessen
the percentage of crime amongst
boys and you lessen the number of
men in our jails and prisons.
No boy with red! blood in
^ikes to be idle; he wants to be busy
all the time, it makes no difference
whether its work or play. But, if
you allow him to play too much it
Wiill later prove detrimental to him.
It’s the surplus energy and time that
leads a boy to committing misdemeas
ors and, subsequently, crimes.
The solution to the problem lice in
interesting the boy in tools, in gar¬
dening, in mechanics, and similar
things and he will soon develop the
Work habit. We all know that boys
like to make new schemes; give him
the opportunity and he will work out
his own salvation. Begin early e
nough and it will keep him off the
streets, it will make him self-reliant,
he wil know that he is capable x>f
earning pin money, this will in turn
lead on to a thrifty, methodical life;
also he will know when to restrain
himself.
Next there is the greyhound coaster
an old time, safe switchback with
Plenty of speed and thrilling rides,
built at a C0:U °f $14,000.
R C0Rt $20 ’ 000 t0 build and 1101150
“aTsstrssr - w “'
There will be daily concerts by a
hand of national reputation, and vocal
music in the woman’s department.
Three o>her Georgia bands will add to
•the music. Then, of course, there is
the horse racing by the Grand Circuit
every afternoon during the week,
There is a horse show at night, with
a magnificent fireworks display on the
iake.
Concrete Grand Stand
The Grand Circuit races will be giv¬
en upon a mile track built around a
beautiful lake, while there is a con¬
crete grand stand seating many thou-
sands, cut and built into the side oi
a hill.
The Southeastern Fair with all of
the many attractions and amusement:
it. offers, is really a southeastern fair.
It will be distinctly representative ci
the enterprise and industry of tills en¬
tire section. The Georgia lcgV.la!;:: - -
in its last session by a special resob!
tion officially commended the South
eastern Fair, indorsed it as a gi-ea'
educational exposition, and invited tlic
people not only of the state, but o.
the nation, to come and enjoy it.
We know that all boys like hero
worship, wo know that they want to
ho very important in their commun¬
ity; thou, instead of allowing them
to develop a “gang leadership” thru
Idleness, we should encourage their
ambition and let them earn their
leadership through work. Start ear¬
ly enough and you will succeed; the
jteason a boy turns to crime
to because he wants hero worship,
he wants recognition, he wants work
to take up his surplus time and en¬
ergy; but he has been allowed to
follow the line of least resistance,
and the result is erime.—Our Paper.
A NICKEL FOR THE LORD
He wore a rose on his coat, but
when the plate was passed gave a
nickel to the Lord. He had several
bills ia his pocket and sundry silver
change, but hunted about and found
this poor nickel and placed it on
the plate to aid the church militant
in its figh against the world, the
flesh and the devil. His silk hat
was on the seat; his gloves and
cane were besides it, and the nickel
was on the plat, a whole nickel!
On Saturday he met a friend; the
cash register recorded $1.35, and he

handed the boy a dime. A nickel to
the Lord and a dime to the waiter!
He had his shoes polishedd and
handed the Greek a dime without a
murmur. He had a shave and paid
his check of 15 cents ancT “tipped”
the barber a dime. He took a box
of candies to his wife[ paid 40 cents
for it, and tied it with a dainty rib¬
bon—and gave a nickel to file Lord.
Who is this Lord?
This man worships him as the Cre:
atcr of the universe, the one who
put the stars in order and by whose
immutable decree the heavens stand
—and he dropped a nickel on the
plate to support his church — the
Church Militant—which represents
on earth the Church Triumphant.
The Lord being gracious and slow
to anger and remembering his ‘frame
did not slay this man for his mean¬
ness, but gave him his daily bread.
But the nickel was ahamed, if the
man was not, for it slunk benath the
quarter which was given by a poor
woman who washes for a living.—

PAID FARE FOR A
RIDE YEARS BACK
An example of what has been call-,
ed “Conscience money” was furnish¬
ed on the M. D. & S. passenger train
to Macon Tuesday when a lady paid
the conductor 40 cents for a ride
which she took five years ago.
Conductor Garrison was taking up
tickets as usual after a stop at a
station below Dublin, when a lady
who ft at! just handed him her ticket
asked him (he cash fare to Dublin.
He replied that it is 40c, and was
astonished to have the lady hand
him 40c and tell him:
“Here is pay for a ride 1 took- on
this road five years ago, and never
paid for. I got on the train, and for
some reasen the conductor did not
see me until after the train had left
Dublin. I then paid him $1 for fare
from Dublin to my station, and said
nothing about the 40e up to Dublin.
I want to pay that fare now, as it
has been lying on my mind, and it is
nothing but right for tl» road t o
have it.”
The conductor was undecided what
to do, finally accepted the money
and issued the lady a cash fare re¬
ceipt, but on his sTlib of the receipt
made a notation of the entire cir-
