Mr. Moore moved to wonder how many of o youngsters then cocupying the scats of Legislators would return in future* years to Atlanta to take up in earnest the law-making duties of the s ate. Then he said something pretty 1 siiould always^ be remembered." . id Mi .

Out the right is Miss Clyde Sullivan, of Lowndes County, the State champion, who canned from one-tenth of an acre 5.354 pounds of tomatoes ai a net protit of $132. She is 14 years old. On the left is Miss Josephine Simms, Floyd County's fairest young canning girl. didn't give him a chance to die. He was grasped under the arms and ele vated before the admiring populace before he could run or do anything, and when the crowd heard that that little bit of a boy had made 163 bush els of corn on his acre they gave him the big cheer of the day. Whereupon Clarence’s ears flamed again. Then there was Marion Jackson Hall, the Irwin County l^rd, who wrote out the entire Odyssey of his corn-growing adventures in verse, but only read a couple of short pre dictions of glory for Old Georgia, and that sort of thin, you know. It was all right, too. and Marion Jackson had a strong voice. Then there was Grady Lee. 14 years old. of DeKalb County, who made a good talk, telling of his early disappointments, and how he couldn’t hold the plow in the ground at first, but after tw'o years of failure he finally came through with 77 bushels to the acre. And tow-headed Durenne Adair, of Paulding. 11 years old and small for the age. who had made 188 bushels. Ho made a good talk, too, and was cheered. Miss Dooley Good Speaker. After which .Miss Eron Dooley. Cconee'a champion tomato grower, stood up very straight and cool—ever notive how much more at home the girls are than the boys when speak ing'.’ -and told about clearing $91.50 on her tenth of an acre, which would run the profit per acre up to mighty near $1,000.. The crowd enjoyed it all hugely and cheered the youngsters, and tilbv enjoyed it, too, after it was over— sort of like having a tooth pulled <r a picture taken. And after that Mr. Campbell read the list of the prize awards, and everybody cheered. Mr. Moore n- vited them to come again, and then everybody went out. to get something to eat before the para do, Prizes Announced. Announcement of the prize winners was made by J.

About 50 of the girls from various parts of the State are In the city to attend the exhibit, which is being conducted under the auspices of the Georgia Girls’ Canning and Poultry Club. Miss Mary E.

Dr. Andrew M. Soule, presi-I deni of the State College of Agriculture, at Athens, and a leading figure In the work of the State corn clubs, is of the opinion that the 1914 show will be even larger and better. ! ** I here is Only One BrcmG Quinine That is Laxative Bromo Quinine Used the World Over to Cure a Cold in Or.e Day SWA seventh, by not less than 20 members, $25; eighth, five next best county ex hibits, $2# each; ninth, five next best county club exhibits. $15 each; tenth, the ten next best county club exhibits, $10 each: eleventh, the twenty next best county club exhibits, $5 each.
