Balnbridge, Ga., Aug. 29.—Farmers In this county are actively engaged In gathering the cotton crop. Several bales have been marketed here and have brought from 9 1-2 to 10 l-2c per pound. The crop while short will be larger than estimated a month ago. The Balnbridge board of trade has taken up the matter of a cotton market for Balnbridge and the highest market price will be paid at all times. Bain- ' bride In years past was the largest cotton market In this section of the jtfate, but in recent, .years the receipts have been small, owing to the fact that the prices paid here were lower than In surrounding towns. The Balnbridge Warehouse Company, composed of several of the most prom Inent business men of the town, has Just completed a commodious ware house building of fire-proof brick. Sev oral buyers are already In the field and the receipts this yeftr promise to be much larger than heretofore. WANT BUSINESS MAN FOR COUNTY CHAIRMAN Special to The Georgian.

The"dead wood”—unprofitable mediums—in lists used by ad vertisers who have transferred their accounts to Lord Sc Thomas in the past year, has proved to be as high as 33per cent in the light of the Lord Sc Thomas Record of Results. T HIS 33 per cent of "dead wood" was counter-acting: or offsetting: profitable results from another 33 per cent of the list, leaving the cam paign limping along on the remaining 34 per cent of publications. Even so, in many cases, the advertising had been considered successful. But WE do not consider an advertising campaign successful until it has reached the greatest possible measure of success. We do not consider a Jist of advertis ing mediums safe to use for our clients until each publication has been “MEASURED" by the actual results tabulated in the Lord & Thomas Record of Results. This Record of Results is a compilation of weekly confidential reports on returns from all good newspapers and other media sent us by those of our clients who have a direct check on their advertising. complishing.we can foretell V7hat it WILL accomplish on similar propositions. So you see we have practically elimi nated the element of chance in adver tising, by making it unnecessary to experiment (with consequent waste) la questionable copy and mediums. We ask an opportunity to explain to you, personally, and in detail, what the Largest Advertising Agency in America —with all its experience—is ready to do to earn advertising success for you, rather than to win it on a speculation with your money.

No Msdlcine so Btneflclal to Brain and Nervas. Lying awake nlghta makes It hard to keep awake and do things In day time. To take "tonics and .stimulants” under ■uch clrcumetancea Is like setting the house on fire to see If you can put It out The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wide awake Individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says: For about three years I had been a great sufferer from Indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop off pota toes, then meat, and so on, but In a few days that craving,, gnawing feeling would start up, and I would vomit everything 1 ate and drank. When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing dis appeared entirely. My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she Is well, and says she don't think she could live without IL "It Is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of -Nuts as in the old days when I could not realise what they meant by bad stomach.’ There !m no medi cine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night’s sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts.” LOW RATES via SOUTHERN RAILWAY Warm Springs, Ga $ 3.75 Chick Springs, 8.
