THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, SATURDAY. MA Y17, 1013. IN PON 1 OUTFIT CONTESTS Boys’ and Girls’ Letters Show Their Pluck and Determination to Win the Handsome Prizes Offered. "Please send another book by return mail.” is getting to be almost an hourly request in The Georgian and American office, where the let ters from boys and girls in the pony outfit contest are coming in by the bale. The "book" referred to, of course, is the one used in recording subscriptions and votes. An out-of-the-State contestant writes, "I see 1 am ahead; believe me, I am going to stay right out in front,” and to make good his prom ise, he forwards a big batch of votes. "You bet your life my town wins a pony,” write another rather slangy young contestant. He, too, is making a great race, and his fel- lo^v townsmen are helping him, through friendship and local pride, which makes a strong combination in his favor. Another little girl from out in Georgia sends in 7,50ft votes with the single word. "Hurrah!” followed by a big explosive-looking star. » So it goes. Enthusiasm is increasing daily, the votes are piling up at a great rate. Names and standing of contestants are below: GEORGIA NEWS IN BRIEF 9istrict Number One.

"Fortunes In song writing." says an advertisement now appearing in magazines throughout the country, and many are lured by it. But those who have tried'know the disappoint ments of the song writer striving to induce a publisher to look at his work. For those who would try here is a tip from one who has made good; "If your song is to make a hit, the air must be hard to remember, though catchy and pleasing. If It can be whistled by anyone who hears it once or twice, it will not sell, and the publisher will reject it.” 1300 1295 1140 1115 11 30 1115 1100 1100 1000 1000 1000 1000 10)0 10 JO 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1003 1000 1000 1000 . 11595 .10445 . 9715 . 763.) . 5880 . 4975 . 4240 . 3820 Trade Board 20 Year* Old.

When the judge mounted the bench the clerk said: "'Your Honor. Mr. doesn’t think he ought to do jury duty on account of his business.’ "‘What’s his business?’ asked the court, gruffly. "‘He’s a faro bank dealer.’ said the clerk. " ‘Excused,’ said the court."

Officials of the State Department of Agriculture said Saturday that the rainfall of Friday night had savid the farmers of Georgia thousands of dollars in their crops of cotton and other products. "We had reached a crisis," said J J. Brown, Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture. "A few more days of drouth and practically half of the cotton crop of the State would have ; been damaged. "Much was depending on a good lainfall. The saving that is made to the farmers is almost incalculable. The moisture now in the ground wll! assist in the germination of seed that never would have sprouted oth erwise, and the stands of cotton will be helped immensely.” Though Atlanta on Friday night had her heaviest rainfall of the year, the weather man is not satisfied. The forecast for Saturday says there will be showers during the afternoon and evening, with chances good for an other general rain at night. The weather will continue warm, though the thermometer is not expected to register higher than 70 degrees. The highest reached on Friday was 84 degrees. The rainfall Friday night meas ured .84 inch, and ruined all pros pects for making another drouth rec ord. During the last twenty days, prior to Friday night, the total rain fall had been only .04 inch. The rec ord drouth for this season of the year is twenty days without a drop of rain, in May of 1879.
