speak briefly of the object of the benefit
uni! tirg. iberal contributions from the
audience.
Colonel Arnold Lauds Cause.

"I'll be mighty glad to do it. The

every person in Atlanta.’’
Besides the band numbers, several

Th Montgomery theater lias given
services of The Great Dayton, the
1 c'l wonder who sings bass, baritone,
leri'ii' and soprano. He broke an en
gast-nient in another city to stay over

several bits of real grand opera at this

gifts for the little folks.
Ihe stockings won’t be filled with

Premiums Is Difficult.
With the judging almost over at the
second annual Southern International
show at the Auditorium-Arnioc, in
terest in the exhibit has reached its
height, and. with weather fair, good
crowds are assured.
The judges have had a hard time of .
It. With classes large and with the I
birds unusually well matched, their lot I
has been a dlftieult one.
The Orpington class, as usual, has
proved one of particular interest. In
this division the chief competitors were -
William Cook & Sons, originators of the I
Orpingtons, and Asa G. Candler, Jr., the
millionaire fancier of Atlanta. The.'"
wealthy exhibitors did not have tilings
all to themselves by a. long way, how
ever.
Asa G. Candler, Jr., Winner.
in the Buff division, C. W. Anderson,
of Spartanburg, S. C., won first fin the
cockerel class; Ed Tlelienor, of Monroe,
h;nl tirs, pen, and the lesser prizes were
scattered among the sntuller exhibitors,
while the Cook winnings w’ere’fil’th lien,
first and second cockerel, rtr. t pullet
and second lien.
in the Black Orpingtons, Asa G.
Candler, Jr., took prizes for first hen,
111 st and fittl cock a; d second pen. The
Cook string did not take any firsts. The
• tlier blue ribbons were captured by
tins. Iz. ,l J . Eberhart, of Elberton, Ga.
in Uie Wldte Orpington division, the
winnings were well scattered. The
Candler string got first pullet, the Clif
ton Orpington Farm first pen, and H
A. Black, of Cartersville, showed the
first lien. Mrs. L. P. Eberhart won first
cockerel.
Cook Farm Makes Clean Sweep.
The Cook farm made a clean sweep,
in the Diamond Jubilee and Blue Orp
ington classes, having no competition
in these varieties.
The Single Comb White Leghorn
showing was exceptionally strong this
v<;a. The winnings were split up chief
1> among the Model Poultry Farm, the
B. alwood Poultry Farm, of Columbus,
and the Monmouth Farm,
An interesting showing of Bine Leg
liorns was made by Mrs. C. A. Bullock,
i >f Bullockville.
The children’s department and the
; many e.lueational features have served
1 to attract the young folks, and there
I has been a big crowd of children pres-
I t nt every day after school hours.
■ The show will continue until Satur
day night with no changes, and now
j that the awards have been made, the
I exhibition is proving of greater' inter
est than ever before.

THERE IS NO BETTER WAY
TO SAVE THAN BUYING
A DIAMOND
The purchase of a diamond can not be considered any
thing but an absolutely safe investment.
Savings put in an investment that is increasing yearly,
that has been paying a higher rate of interest than savings
banks, and is convertible into cash anywhere in the world, "is
worth careful consideration.
The time when diamonds were considered su*h a lux
ury that none but the extravagantly rich could afford them
has given place to the use of diamonds by all classes as both
ornament and investment, •
I
The reason for this change is that for many years dia
monds have steadily advanced in price, and are likely to
continue for years to come.
One can, therefore, invest, in diamonds, enjoy wearing
them, and frequently sell them at a considerable advance
over their original cost.
Under our deferred payment plan you can become the
owner of a diamond by paying one-fifth of the cost and
divide the balance in convenient monthly notes.
If you want to obtain valuable information on the sub
ject of diamonds and our plan, call or write for our Dia
mond Book No. 19.

Crosby Is tile son of Minerva Upson

and burning made him scratch a great deal.
His head had gotten so that it was just a
mass of mattery little pimples all heaped
on each other, and when I took off his
night-cap, the hair and flesh came off at
the same time. I really thought he wouk
lose his whole scalp. He couldn't sleep for
Bve weeks, ft would itch and Irani until I
thought he would go into convulsions.
"I used different soaps and salves to nt
satisfaction. Then I decided to use die
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I used to
bathe the scalp every morning with tue
Cuticura Soap and water as hot as he could
stand it, and then rnMsage It Urorougb.j
with the Cuticura Ointment. Finally I
noticed he began to sleep all night. I used
one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of
OutlcuraOlntment and b« was entirely cured
His hair came hack again one month after
ho was cured, and he has a better grosrth of
hair now than he had at arst.” (Signed!
