Well, Here They Are
Our 1924-25 Bargain Offers
AFTER much wrestling with the other we are able to an
nounce what we believe to be <he best list of clubbing combinations
ever offered by a Southern farm newspaper, at prices which represent a dis
tinct saving to every subscriber.
When we began these negotiations, it appeared that all prices would be
much higher this year than previous.
Yet when we got down to talking about our ability to produce a big
volume of business for other papers, some of the publishers saw the light and
at the last minute made price reductions which make our clubs even more at
tractive than in the past.
It is true that we have no more A-4’s with nine papers included for only
$1.50, but when it comes to class, coupled with economy, you’ll find the real
stuff listed below.
Study them over, compare them with what other papers are offering,
and send in your subscription to the good old Tri-Weekly Journal.

once if they were able to supply
antitoxins with which to fight the

FOB CABINET POST
IN NEW MINOT
LONDON, Nov. 3. —Lady Nancy
Astor, former Virginia beauty, may
be included in the cabinet which Stan
ley Baldwin prepared today in antic
ipation of the kings invitation, ex
pected some time Tuesday to form
a government.
Strong political influences are at
work to have either the American
born peeress, who was elected to par
liament at Plymouth for the fourth
time, or the Duchess of Atholl, an
other successful woman candidate,
in the next ministry. Lady Astor has
had the greater political experience.
It was confirmed today that Ram
say MacDonald will present the resig
nation of his government Tuesday.
The prime minister put in a busy
day winding up his affairs at No.
10 Downing street.
King George has arrived at Buck
ingham palace to receive MacDon
ald’s resignation and commission
Baldwin to succeed him.
Baldwin’s task is an extremely dif
ficult one. He must decide within
the next few days how to allot 52
ministerships and under-secretary
ships among 77 persons.
Advocates of inclusion of Lady
Astor in the cabinet point to the
fact that Labor had Margaret Bon
field in its cabinet, and that the
women’s vote yvas a considerable
factor in the Conservative landslide.
Lord Haldane, Lord Parmoor, Ar
thur Henderson and other members
of the committee appointed by the
cabinet to investigate the authen
ticity of the Zinoviev letter met with
Ramsay MacDonald at No. 10 Down
ing street.
Dawes Concludes
Campaign Without
Single "Hell Maria”
EVANSTON, 111., Nov. 3.—(By the
Associated Press.) Charles G.
Dawes made something over a hun
dred speeches in his campaign as
Republican nominee for vice presi
dent without a single “Hell Maria”—
the phrase with which he broke into
print and into national prominence
in 1919 when he returned from
France after the World war.
A backward look today over
Dawes' campaign utterances showed
he had left a collection of such terms
as “pee wit politicians,” “political
demagogues,” and "cowardly, trim
ming, time-serving politicians” from
Wyoming to Maine. But the “H:ll
Maria” for which some of his au
diences obviously waited never came
forth.
Mr. Dawes today, admitting he was
"just a bit tired,” rested and read
and smoked his pipe at his home
here while waiting to see whether he
would go to Washington next March,
illness to the shock caused by Gen
eral Sawyer’s recent death following
so closely the death of her husband
a little moie than a year ago.
Face Powders Cause
Asthma, Doctor Says
BERLIN, Nov. 3.—Many kinds of
face powder cause asthma, accord
ing to Prof. Payser, a Berlin physi
cian, who has a large practice
among singers and actors. In a con
tribution to a medical journal he
warns stage celebrities that they
must be careful about the character
of powder and paint they use if they
wish to protect their throats, noses
and lungs from injury.
Dust and drafts seem to be un
avoidable concomitants of stage life,
Prof. Payser says. If actors wish
to overcome the dangers of their
profession they must use tobacco
and alcohol very sparingly, if at all,
and get all the outdoor exercise and
sleep possible.

SEARCH CDhITIIVUED
FOR SLAYER OF
HART POLICEMAN
HARTWELL, Ga., Nov. 3.—Led
by officers from adjoining counties,
' a large posse of citizens today con
tinued a wide search for Lincoln
i Jackson, negro tenant of T. Oscar
Herndon, living five miles west of
L here, who last night about 8 o’clock
shot and killed *County Policeman
, L. Snow Skelton and wounded Sher
. iff-elect A. Britt Brown, who were
attempting to arrest him on the
5 charge of wife beating.
Mr. Brown had part of his left
. hand shot away when the negro
- fired at a flashlight he was holding
. as he started to enter the front door
r of the barricaded house. Mr. Brown
. also received some scattering shot
in the face. Barring complications,
- physicians say he will recover.
The officers were summoned to
i the negro's home when his wife re
ported to Mr. Herndon that her hus
■ band was beating her. After Mr.
Brown had been shot, Officer Skel
ton ran around to the rear of the
• house to intercept the negro’s flight.
The negro had reloaded his single
' barrel shotgun and shot the police
man in the neck. Two or three more
men arrived shortly after, but the
! negro had fled. Bloodhounds were
secured as quickly as possible from
I Avnens. His early capture was ex-
I pected, although some fear was ex
pressed today that he might have
caught an automobile on the Bank
head highway nearby and escaped
fre-m the county.
County authorities have offered a
reward of SIOO, and the governor
will be asked to authorize a reward
of SSOO.
Mr. Skelton, who was slain, be
longed to one of the best known
families in north Georgia, many of
the family holding official positions.
He was forty-four years old and is
j survived by his wife and seven chil
dren, Schaefer, James, Frank, Myr-
I tice, Blanche and Clementine; also
[ by four brothers and two sisters,
' J. 11., A. S. and A. C., of Hartwell,
' and J. Rod Skelton, of- Atlanta, and
i Mrs. R. H. Burns, of Hartwell, and
[ Mrs. Tim Thornton, of Atlanta. J.
Rod Skelton is connected with the
state department of agriculture; A.
. S. Skelton is solicitor general of the
northern circuit, and J. H. Skelton
is a former state senator.

HOW TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
Makes One Look Twenty Years I
Younger.
Men and women who used to be |
c tiled Grandpa and Grandma are)
now setting the styles by darkening]
their gray hair with a simple home j
mixture.
For instance, J. A. McCrea, a well-,
known Californian, recently made I
the following statement:
“Anyone can prepare a. simple!
mixture in five minutes, that will I
darken gray hair, and make it soft
and glossy. Merely take a half-pint
of water, add 1 ounce of bay rum, a
small box of Barbo Compound, J /i
1 oz. of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought
I at any drug store at trifling cost.
Apply to the hair twice weekly with
I comb. It does not color the scalp,
I is not sticky or greasy and will not
I rub off.”

VITAMIZEt TwATeT
MAKES HENS LAY
New Vitamine Discovery Gives Amaz
ing Increase in Egg Yield
Spring and summertime egg pro
duction in the fall and winter months
may now easily be had through the
discovery of a remarkable new meth
od of supplying those essential
vitamines that are necessary for egg
production and which are lacking in
the feed at this season of the year.
It has been found that loafing or
molting flocks, when supplied with
these vitamines, quickly begin to
lay many times as many eggs, are
out of the molt much sooner, and
are put in prime condition for heavy
winter laying.
These essential vitaminds can eas
ily be supplied by simply dissolving
Vita-Gland Tablets in the flock’s
drinking water. In addition to pure,
concentrated vitamines, these tablets
also contain Ovarian Gland Sub
stances which rebuild and revitalize
the egg producing glands of the hens,
and hasten the development of the
egg organs of pullets, starting them
laying much sooner. «
How to Get Yours Free
To quickly introduce them to new
users, the Vita-Gland Laboratories,
1221 Gateway Station, Kansas City,
Mo., are offering to send two regu
lar SI.OO packages of Vita-Gland Tab
lets, postpaid, for only SI.OO. Or, If
more convenient, you need send no
money now, but give the postman
SI.OO and postage on delivery of the
two boxes. By selling Qne box to a
neighbor you can get your own sup
ply free. Moreover, if you are not
gratified with the results, just say
so and back comes your money. Now
is the time to give your flock *
good start for fall and winter lay
ing. Eggs are high and going high
er, and it Is by getting them now
that bigger poultry profits are made,
especially with the high cost of
grain feed. As Vita-Gland Tablets
are fully guaranteed you take no
chance in Using them.
