Exhibits Prove White County’s
Products Are Equal
x To The Best
White Cgomty’s Fair held Sat¬
urday November 5th was a big
success. Our farmers exemplified
their earnest cooperation when they
brought out such grand exhibits—
exhibits that postivelv can’t be
surpassed in any county inGeorgia,
—when there was only a one day
fair and no premiums offered. We
have been preaching for a long
time that White county has the
best people in the world and was
the best county iti the
world and this fair proved that our
preaching was right and it put re¬
newed determination into us to keep
this motto before the people. We
believe every one present reaped
much benefit by the exhibits on
display. The exhibits were not as
large as the larger counties, neither
will our exhibits ever be that small
again, but the quality was superb.
The fair was chiefly devoted to
agricultural, canned fruits and
vegtables, fancy’ work and some
poultry. One thing right here be¬
fore we go any fdrtYier, it proves
that White county-bus some mighty
good cooks.
Only two or three brought live
stock to be exhibited, .but next
year look at our cattle, swine,
horses and sheep display. Our
farmers didn’t have time to get
ready for a livestock exhibit, but
what were here were of good
quality.
Your County agent will begin in
the early part of the year to pre¬
pare for pig club, corn club and
many other clubs, so be prepared to
to assist him.
The fancy and art work was a
credit to any fair and those ladies
that exhibited them are to be high¬
ly commended.
The corn, apples, hay, potatoes
and other agricultural products
were as good as you can see at any
fair.
About 2:3c) P. M. Mr, E. A.
Barnhart, a practical dairy man
and farmer, of Gainesville, made
one of the best and most practical
and benifical talks ever made in
Cleveland, Mr. Barnhart has had
experience in three different states
in the dary business and is
thoroughly familiar with with it
and was able to tell our farmers
many things they wanted to know.
He said the south was not develop¬
ed as it should be and it was solely
on account of the production of
cotton. Inotherwords, if they had
produced a diveisified crop our T
farmers would be much better off.
He said the reason why the
cheeae factory at Cleveland went
dead was because we had no past

Another Murder In Union Co.
Blairsville, Ga., Nov. 7.—(Spe¬
cial)—Charged with the murder of
Judge Duckworth, near here laat
Friday, Charlie Corn and Rube
Woop have been arrested and now
nre held in jail here. ‘ There is
much excitement here, and precav
tions are being taken to prevent
violence.
Duckworth was stubbed to death
by Corn, it is alledged, during a
fight in which Wood was also a
participant. All three of the men
are said to have been in the barn
of Corn, and to have been drink¬
ing. Corn is alleged to have struck
his wife during an argument, and
Duckworth objected, the fight re¬
sulting.
After Duckworth had been kill¬
ed', Corn went to the home of
Deputy Sheriff Nix, told him that
he had a brother in “in bad trouble
in Clay county, N. C.,” and want¬
ed him to carry him there. The
deputy carried out his request, and
on returning to his home fouud
that Corn was wanted for the mur¬
der of Duckworth,
Eagle In Receivers Hands.
The Gainesville Eagle was placed
in hands of a receiver Monday up¬
on order of the superior court. Mr.
W. H. Craig for many years owner
and editor of the Eagle, was ap¬
pointed by Judge J. B. Jones as
receiver, and he will operate the
paper until court proceedings are
gone through and the property sold
under a mortgage foreclosure
brought by Jesse E. Mercer who,
some months ago, purchased the
mortgage held by Mr. W, H. Craig,
former owner. The Daily Eagle
will not appear any more as it was
not a profitable venture, only the
weekly edition being published on
Thursday’s hereafter under the re¬
ceivership operation. If the usual
procedure is followed, the property
will be advertised during December
and sold by the Sheriff the first
Tuesday in January. It is under¬
stood that Mr. Mercer, who is one
of the best-known of Georgia
newspaper men, hopes ultimately,
to secure control of the paper for
the purpose of operating it himself.
In the event he obtains the paper
and plant he will be given a cordial
welcome to the Gainesville news¬
paper field.—Gainesville News.
I*artv Given For Brides.

The brides served punch and
other refreshments were served by
Mesdames J. H. Telford and A. J.
Jarrard.
Games weoe played that were
suitable for the occasion. Every
inement was highly enjoyed.
Each of the bribes were present¬
ed with lovely presents.
No men were present on this en¬
joyable occasion.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish io express our heart¬
felt thanks to those whoso willing¬

vices during the last days of our
beloved and devoted husband and
father, assuring them that we fully
appreciate their deeds in our time
of trouble.

Urging White Women of Geor¬
gia to Register and to Vote.
Congressmaa Thos. M. Bell, of
the Ninth (Georgia) District, in an
open letter to his constituency, is
urging that the white women
qualify as voters by complying
with the registration laws. He al¬
so urges the newspapers of his
district to join him in his“crusade,”
and frankly says that white super
macy in the state may pe endanger¬
ed unless this important public
duty appeals to, and is performed
by, the women of Georgia.
It was because of the great
number of negro women in Georgia
that Congressman Bell voted
against women suffrage. Now that
women is enfranchised, it is feared
by him that a great many white
women to whom politics are dis¬
tasteful will not register.
It is pointed out that there are
1,206,365 negroes in Georgia, more 1
than in any state, in the union.
Of the number given 615.365 are
females.—Agusta Chronicle.

Help Your Local Paqer.
(Southland Farmer.)
Don’t make fun of your local
paper. It has posibilities of being
as good as any in the country and
remember that it reflects the com¬
munity in which it is published, and
it is the one product that goes to far
places bearing the town trade mark.
It deserves the best you can give
active support and sympathetic
understanding.
Give the editor news, whether it
benefits you or not.
Don’t ask him to print it on the
front page and |usi the exact way
you handed it in.
Don’t worry lest the editor makes
too much money. If he’s prosper¬
ous, he’ll be foolish enough to give
his community a better; that’s an
ambition—that’s why he
en sages in the publicity business.
TelJ him when he has a good
paper. You are willing to con¬
your preacher on a good
sermon, and your merchant on an
attractive window display. The
editor is no less grateful for a word
of praise.
Make it a point to visit the print
shop and learn of its difficlties and
complexities and you will have a
more charitable attitude. The
paper should not be the product of
the editor solely ; but of all those
who nre interested in as friends,
contributors, readers or advertisers.
Town Taxes Dues.
1'his is to notify you that your
town taxes are due, pleasa call and
pay at once.
