PLAYER, The Wilkinson County News CLUB WOMEN EXPRESS THANKS The Whnodausis Club, wishes to thank each anil every one who bo wil ’ingly assisted in making the commu nity' Christmas tree a success. The community spirit was evidenced by the lafge crowd present, and the club women wish they might mention the names of'each person to Whom they are indebted but as-that would take so'much space, they wilt only thank especially Rev? W J. Simmons, for the beautiful "talk he made, which was so apropos to the occasion. "And may we. soon come to the re alization that'lt is the little thing a that create differences; that in the big things of life we are as one.” FALL PIGS REQUIRE GOOD CARI Fall pigs are often not as profita ble as' those farrowed in the spring. The reasohs may be many, but a lac'.; of proper'feed and mud and dampness -re probobly the ch as ones. The spring pigs have better weath er -conditions and are easily supplied with ..gr.e^en feed, two important mat ters in the profitable development of the pig. Green feed is hot so easily supplie? during the winter, bu it can frequent y be had by proper precautions ear.- in the fall. But if no green feed is available, its place can be largely taken by other feeds. It simply re quires-. a little more trouble tp feed the fall'Titters right and the cost may be .a,.little morp, but the better prices usually received on an Apri’ market should make up for the little increase in cost. ? Probably the greatest obstacles to the proper growth of the fall pigs during our Southern winters are mu? and dampness mud outside and damp ness in the sleeping quarters. Mud and damp sleeping quarters or houses do not trouble pigs so much in warm weather, but' in cold weathe. they are positively bad. If there is n< green feed for the fall pigs during the winter,'then'it becomes more nec- -essary that they get a little alfalfa none of* these will be consumer meal or he green leaves of some leg ume bay. Some roots will also be good by pigs except in small quantities. Milk, tankage, dr fish meal becomes a' necessity for the fall pigs during the winter. And of course, ligeral feeding on corn or other grains is nec essary. Then a clean place for feeding and clean* drinking water must be provided, and last but not least, dry ilean, sleeping quarters are a neces sity.— Tait Butler, in The Progres sive Farmer.

The age which has given us arti ficial sunlight, imitation silk and syn thetc gn has now brought forth a new produet to take the place of wool, the {Atlanta merchants gay. It is called sniafil. It is a wood pulp pro duct that can be woven or sewed ar wool is, and it is to be used in the manufacture of clothing. It is now being made in Italy, but before long, merchants here state, it will be man ufactured in this tountry. The new product is said to havr all the properties of wool.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY EXTENDS HOLIDAY GREETINGS TO ITS PATRONS The Central of Georgia Railway takes this meth 'd of conveying its good wishes for a Happy Christ m"s and a prosperous New Year to the traveling and shipping publick. The management profoundly appreciates the patronage and good will of the peo pie, which have been evidenced in the year about tc ciose by the largest business in the history of the road. The prospects for continued good business and for general prosperity were never brighter than they are for the year to come. The development of t he Southeast has attracted the attention of the en tire country. This teritory is just beginning to develop a growing diversification of high grade pro ducts. The steel industry is turning out many finished products in addition to pig iron. A program of diversification is followed on ths farm and the Southeast is no longer dependent upon a single erop. Peo ple in other sections of the country are recognizing as never before the South's undeniable advantages of long growing-seasons ample rain fall, mild winters great variety of crops and low priced lands wh’ch make this section a good place in which to live and make a living. There is every Indication that the Southeast is just entering upon a period of growth and expansion that will surpass the most optimistic expectations. Ninetyn-six promisee to be a record year of progress The Central of Georgia is ready to do its part in supplying prompt and reliable transportation, a factor upon which any program of development must depend. It is adding new eqquipmont and is Im proving all of its facilities. Central of Georgia employes join with the management in a pledge of the best service humanly possible, and in the season’s greetings to the people whose co-operation and suppart sneourtge them ir their plans and efforts. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A. DOWNS, r President, Central of Georgia Railway Company. Savannrh, Georgia, December 15; 1925. TOOMSBORO NEWS Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

The improved tables, evolved by what is known as the "frustum form factor method,” have been worked out by A. E.
