The wonderful growth of the
live stock industry in the South,
especially Georgia, will de demon¬
strated at the first annual fair of the
Southeastern Fair Association,
October 14-21, inclusive. The need
of something to replace the single
crop-cotton- was shown a few years
ago when the boll weevil began to
make its ravages in the great cot¬
ton producing States. That the
cattle and hog industries have pro¬
ven the most advantageous substi¬
tute will be illustrated by the ex¬
hibits at this Fair. The Moultrie
section, one of the first in Georgia
to recognize the value of live stock,
is preparing to send mammoth ex¬
hibits of the work being done there.
The management, through Mr.
R. M. Striplin, manager, has offer¬
ed nearly $7,000 in prizes in the
swine department and $10,000 for
for cattle. Among the former will
be a futurity guaranteed by the
American Duroc Breeders Associ¬
ation. for which $400.00 will be
offered. The greatest achievment
in the cattle department was made
when the American Royal Live
Stock exhibit, of Kansas city, the
West’s greatest Live Stock show,
was secured. Eighty solid car loads
of thoroughbred stock will be
brought to Atlanta from this point
alone.
The Georgia House of Represen
atives, by resolution, joined in In
•Representatives from every section
of the State, commended the Fair
management and invited the people
of the country to come and send
exhibits. Morris, Cobb; Yeomans,

Fair will be the horse show and fire
works display. The finest, stock in

horse show.

HOME GUARD FEATHERLEG.
The war clouds were gathering o’er a peaceful mountain town,
And hearts began to sadden and friends to gather round,
And everybody seemed excited as the train pulled away—
We left our friends all praying for a safe return some day.
They were truly proud of every boy who wore a uniform—
They were going to a heathen land to have Mexico reform.
Now, the war clouds are breaking, but our guns are still in rack—
We have some featherleg boys with yellow streaks up their back.
Oh! the yellow streaks are sickening, the feather-legs are, too,
Their duty to their country they all refuse to do.
Now, go my weak-kneed comrades, to j-otir homes back in the hills,
We’ll stick right to our duty and see this war time through—
Carry this flag through Mexico and bring it home to you.
Let us say this to you, my Horace, Carl and Harry,
The bullets that pass through our hearts will be imaginary.
Here’s to you, McAllister and Brown, with knees knocking together,
Your body’s just one yellow streak, and your legs one solid feather.
The stars that decorate “Old Glory” give eacli of you a chill,
The cost to follow the stripes to you would be your life to still.

• Prof. Adams Invites Your Attention.
A date of great importance to
Cleveland and surrounding com¬
munity is nearing us—the date
when Cleveland can boast of a
modern school plant, representing
a value of $12,000 to $15,000. The
beautiful school building
and the dormitory have just
been completed and equipped ready
for business. The principal with a
tine corps of teachers has been
•selected.
•foow . dhen. it is up to each in
mine the
? 01 eVe lan d
will have another year. It is the
duty of those parents within reach
of such a school to see that it is be¬
friended—to cooperate as a friend
with friend—by patronizing and
always talking for its welfare. No
ill word should ever be spoken
against the school by any loyal per¬
son in Cleveland. Talk a good
thing UP and never talk it DOWN.
Let us have your boys and girls
and the job of bringing out the
powers within them will be shared
with you. We cannot take the
whole job, but will be glad to as¬
sume the greater part of it. School¬
ing is expensive anywhere, but you
will find expenses here as low or
lower than any other school that
will give equal values.
We solicit your interest and
patronage.
Be with us opening day, Tuesday
Sept, 19.
Yours for service,

Miss .Ola Thurmond has entered
school at Nacoochee Institute.
Several locals from different
correspondents in last week’s issue
of the Courier made mention of
people going to \ r oung Harrs.
Now is the time to boom Cleveland
school for we have the building to
accomodate a great many more- than
in the past. Besides Cleveland,
there is a fine school at Nacoochee
which ranks with her sister county’s
institution. Since we have good
schools in every part of the county
we should have our children get a
good eductaion.
Several from this part attended
the funeral ol .Uncle Lum West¬
moreland at Chattahoochee where
he wa^ a good member. Mr.
Wv&tmoreland has lived his alloted
time, and lived his time well, and
the younger generation that follow
n his footsteps will make no mis¬
take. If he had an enemy we do
not know it, for everybody speaks
well of hini. We sympathize with
the family in their loss of a friend,
and White county has lost one of
her best citizens.
A Had Summer For Children.
There has been an unusual u
mount of sickness among children
