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.

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 STATEMENT •f the Cendltien ef the Scenee Ceun ty Bank, lecated at Watkinsville, Ga., at the close of business Sept. 19, 1916.

ASHFORD, Cashier. Sworn to and subscribed before mi this 28th day of September, 1916. W. H. Ashftrd, C. N. P Oconee Co., Ga. 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.— The Toronto Star. 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- Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they Catarrh "is^a SL^^ST^t ^eaUy'to". and" C fn yZ^u^i lake an internal remedy.
