And you’ve settled down at home
Where forever you’ll be happy
Never more you’ll want to roam.

With the goods that are the best?.

If you hear don’t treat it light
Come to See us when you marry
And Your future will be bright.

SONS OF GEORGIA MEET
In New York City at First Social
Affair of the Season.
MEMORIES OF HOMELAND
Revived and Friendship* Were More
Firmly Cemented—Thomas McGuire
of Atlanta President.
New York City.—Loyal sons of old
Georgia, with guests from various
parts of the country, gathered togeth
er here at the Waldorf-Astoria in a
convention of good-fellowship and a
conclave of congeniality. Georgians
were present from almost every por
tion of the state, from Rabun Gap to
Thoviiasville; and it was a time when
fragrant memories of the homeland
were revived, when friendships were
more firmly cemented, and state’s
brotherhood was put upon a stronger,
surer footing, and, above all else, it
was a time when thoughts of Georgia
were in every heart and a toast to
Georgia was on every pair of lips.
The occasion was the first social af
fair of the season of the Georgia So
ciety of the City of New York. It
was designated as a smoker, and is
to be followed by three receptions and
dances on Tuesday. November 24; Fri
day, January 29, and Tuesday, March
9, and by another smoker on Friday,
April 30.
Thomas McGuire, formerly of At
lanta, is president of the Georgia so
ciety, and presided. A happy fea
ture of the occasion was when he in
troduced James F. Allen, formerly of
Warren, who in a neat speech pre
sented a gavel to Bedell Parker, ex
president of the association and orig
inally a citien of Hamilton, Ga. The
gavel was mode of Georgia pine.
TO HOLD FARMERS’ INSTITUTES.
Oates and Places of These Meetinngs
Announced.
Atlanta, Ga. —Word has been receiv
ed by Commissioner of Agriculture T.
G. Hudson at the state capitol that
Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the State
College of Agriculture at Athens, and
director of the Farmers’ Institutes,
will resume the holding of these in
stitutes throughout the state. Simi
lar institutes were held in a number
of counties during the summer of
this year with gratifying results. It
worked up a great deal of interest in
regard to agricultural education, the
result of which was felt at the open
ing of the agricultural college at Ath
ens this fall.
The places for holding these insti
tutes and dates, as announced by Dr.
Soule, are as follows:
Cedartown, November 5; Buena Vis
ta, November 5; Lawrenceville, No
vember 6; Arlington, November 6;
Lexington, November 7; Pelham, No
vember 7; Mcßae, November 12; New
nan, November 12; La-Grange, Novem
ber 13; Baxley, November 13; Barnes
ville, November 14; Lyons, November
14; Dublin, November 19; States
boro, November 20: Meldrim, Novem
ber 21; Madison, November 28.
Much attention will be given in
these lectures to the industries of cat
tle raising and dairying. Dr. Soule is
a great advocate of cotton seed meal
mixed with cotton seed hulls as a cat
tle feed and as a dairy feed. It has
been demonstrated that cattle will fat
ten more readily on this feed than any
other feed. Asa food for dairy cat
tle, it is held to be not only the cheap
est, but the best, and the results ob
tained from dairy cattle fed upon it
are most gratifying.
At these institutes will be given
theoretical talks to practical farmers,
the combination of which will do a
great deal toward developing the con
dition of the Georg*a farmer.
COMMISSION WILL RIDE FREE.
When Inspecting the Railroads of the
State.
Atlanta, Ga. —Regardless of the crit
icism levelled against them by an At
lanta paperfor using a special train
furnished by the railroad in inspect
ing railroad property, th,£ railroad
commission announces that - they are
determined to continue this policy.
The members of the commission
are now planning the itinerary of oth
er trips of inspection. They are anx
ious at an early date to visit Savan
nah and Brunswick and inspect the
terminals and wharves at these points.
The question of a special charge for
shipside delivery of cotton, which was
recently raised, though not within the
jurisdiction of the commission, has
whetted their desire to make a per
sonal inspection of existing- conditions
at these seaports. Under the law,
wharves and terminals are within the
jurisdiction of the railroad commis
sion.
BACK TAX CONTROVERSY.
Question of Ownership of Central of
Georgia and W. of A. Shares.
Atlanta, Ga. —Another step in the
controversy between the state and the
Central of Georgia railroad over back
taxes and the ownership of 15,000
shares of stock in the Western Rail
way of Alabama was taken with the
report to Comptroller General Wright
by.the arbitrators of the value of this
stock from 1596 to 1905.
Attorney Alex W. Smith acted for
the railroad, while Fuller E. Callaway
of the railroad commission acted for
the state. The values fixed range
from S6O a share in 1896 to SBS a share
in 1905. The question cf whether or
not the Central must pay on this has
not yet been settled by the' courts.
TO RECOVER $1,000,009.
Depositions Taken in Suit of L. P.
Pairo vs. H. M. Atkinson.
Atlanta, Ga. —Depositions in a suit
by L. P. Pairo of New York to re
cover $1,000,000 from H. M. Atkinson,
president of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad, were taken
here. Pairo claims that he was en
titled to half the profits of the rail
road, and he places these alleged prof
its to date at $2,000,000. Mr. Atkin
son, on the witness stand, said Pairo
was employed as a civil engineer and
was not entitled to any share in the
profits.

In view of the effort being made by
several southern cities to secure some

turned fro mCuba, a letter received by
Congressman W. G. Brantley of
Brunswick, from Adjutant General F.
C. Ainsworth, states that the troops
upon return from Cuba will he sent
directly to their stations in the Unit
ed States. The letter to Congressman
Brantley says: “I have the honor to
acknowledge receipt today of your
letter of October 22, 1908, in which,
with reference to newspaper state
ments that the troops now in Cuba
are shortly to be returned to the Unit
ed States and that they will probably
be stationed at some southern point
or points, you ask whether some of
them could be stationed at Brunswick,
Ga., and in response thereto to inform
you, by the direction of secretary of
war, that, upon the relief of the troops
from duty in Cuba, they will be sent
directly to their station in the UDited
States.”

Condemning text books now in use
in ihe public schools in Georgia, Miss
Anna C. Benning of Columbus in her
report before the state convention of
the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy, that convened at Savannah, de
clared that the history of Georgia
throughout the public school curricu
lum is “conspicuos by its absence.”
She declared that “Georgia’s children
should be taught that Georgia has
everything that goes to make a state
great, and there is no use for her sons
and daughters to leave the state to
find it. They ought to spend their
lives in their home state.”

The first meeting of the Northeast
Georgia Cotton and Corn exhibitors
was held in Gainesville at the Hall
county court house. Every county in
the Ninth congressional district had
exhibits of corn and cotton, for which
liberal prizes were paid to the win
ners. The exhibition was arranged to
stimulate interest in corn and cotton
breeding and seed selection in this
district, and much good was derived
from the exhibition.

many minutes, was the remarkable re
cord accomplished at the first horse
swappers’ convention, held in Ameri

vention was successful beyond expec
tation, and w f ill be repeated.
