Square |
“Around the Square” is devoted ex
clusively to the merchants and their
wares. The displays and goods called
attention to in this column will be
well worth your while to look over.

The time for June brides is past
but Mr. Norton, of the Norton Hard
ware Company, is still reminding the
folks that some of the June brides
wiil still appreciate gifts of silver
ware. The Norton Company are sole
agents in this section for Communi
ty piate and it is said that there is
no better on the market than Com
munity Plate. Mr. Norton also says
“Qit down to Wash.” They have a
complete line of washing machines
and your attention is called to them
in their advertisement for this week.
“Four trips to New York since Jan
uary.” Now sometimes you would
think that these trips to New York
were merely ones of pleasure, but
not so in the case of Mr. W. A. Flor
ence, of the Florence Dry Goods Co.,
for he goes there at least twice a
year to buy goods for the dry goods
patrons of his store, but this year
the demand has been so heavy that
it was necessary for Mr. Florence to
make extra trips to replenish his
stocks for the store. The work of
remodeling and building the addi
tion to the store is fast nearing com
pletion and when finished the Flor
ence Company will be one of the
most up-to-date and modern stores
in North Georgia.

Attention is called to the adver
tisement this week of Mr. W. C. Mec-
Collum, the tailored-to-measure man.
Mr. McCollum says clothes this fall
are in most cases cheaper than they
have been since the great war started
and if you want to save money on
your clothing it will pay you to in
spect his samples. Rumors to the
effect that clothing will be higher
this fall than ever have been spread
about, says Mr. McCollum, but after
looking over my line and getting my
prices you will readily see that this
report is untrue.

The outlook for good crops are
getting brighter every day, says Mr.
Frey, of the Brown, Allgood & Co.,
and the farmers are buying heavily
of foodstuffs and supplies. This com
pany is preparing to go into cotton
buying in the fall and enjoys one of
the best farmer trades as any store
in town as well as the business of
many city folks. ’

With vacation days over the
thoughts of the housewife naturally
turns to making a home comfortable
for the fall and winter months. A
piece of new furniture or a rug added
from time to time will do this, says
John S. Dobbins. Mr. Dobbins has
been in the furniture business for
years and his only thought is to please
his customers. Anything that comes
from Dobbins’ must be all right or
you may feel sure that it will be made
right to your own satisfaction.

Bloom & Kaplan announce the first
showing of their fall and winter line
of ladies’ and children’s ready-to
wear. Mr. Bloom has-just returned
from New York and good purchases
on this trip to the Eastern markets
are arriving on every express.

" The announcement of the Busbee
Hardware and Supply Company in
this issue of The Journal calls atten
tion to the new features and depart
ments that have been added to the
old Dobbs store. They are exclusive
agents for the famous Studebaker
wagons and Mr. Busbee says, “if you
want a wagon that is built to last and
has over a half century of successful
workmanship behind it, this is the
wagon.

Dr. Wikle, of the Wikle Book Store,
has put in a complete line of state
school books, tablets and pencils, be

Wikle is “side lining” with a few
drugs.
PROHIBITION BOOSTS
THE MOVIE CROWDS
New York, Aug. 11.—Owners of
moving picture houses are reaping
a harvest as a result of national pro
hibition, according to figures received
by leading exchange managers of the
large producing firms here today.
The figures show that father has
chosen to go to the movies instead
of the corner saloon and furtherance
is taken as proof that father likes it.
Movie men here declare that the ef
fect of prohibition has been much
more apparent in thickly populated
factory towns than in rural commu
nities. In New York, Boston and
Philadelphia the increased patronage
at moving pictures was attributed
largely to prohibition.
“With the passing of the cock-tail
hour, a lot of men find that there is
nothing to occupy them between 5
o’clock and a 7 o’clock dinner,” said
one exhibitor today. “Rather than
sit in a saloon these men have ac
quired the habit of visiting the mo
vies.”
Georgia Getting In Shape To Take
Care of Her Quota of $7,500,000
Dr. Cree Expresses Appre
ciation Of Co-operation
The Baptists of Georgia, more than
two hundred strong, met in Macon
at Mercer University, last Wednesday
and Thursday, for one of the most
important meetings to be held in this
state in preparation for the big 75
Million Campaign.
The men and women who attended
the Macon meeting were representa
tive of every corner of the state and
they went with the definite report that
their constituency was enthusiasti
cally behind the movement. It was
a remarkable gathering of church
leaders for Georgia.
Mercer University opened her
doors to the conference and all of
the sessions were held on the college
campus. All meals were served in the
college dining hall. The delegates had
‘rooms at local hoteds. |
~ Dr. Arch C. Cree, state director,
presided at all of the sessions. Ely
Callaway, associate director, was pres
ent as was Dr. F. C. McConnell,
member of the Southern Baptist Com
mission; Mrs. Kate Wakefield, direc
tor for the W. M. U.; John W. Jen
kins, state organizer; Dr. W. H. Major
‘director of the speakers bureau, and
Louie Newton, director of publicity.
‘The twelve district organizers were
ialso present.
; Dr. L.R. Scarborough, director for
‘the entire south, was present at the
conference on Wednesday and spoke
twice. He set up the objectives of
‘the campaign in convincing manner
'and left the meeting with a renewed
determination to make the campaign
a success. e
Mrs. Janie Cree Bose, organizer
for the women of the South, was
present and addressed the women. She
is regarded as one of the strongest}
women in the W. M. U. work of the‘
Southern Baptist Convention.
Following this meeting in Macon,‘
the associational organizers and pub
licity directors and W. M. U. Organ
izers will go to their respective as-!
sociations and set up the campaign in
the local churches. The associationsj
represent some thing of the same
unit as the county organizations did
in the war drives. It is hoped to
have the churches organized during
‘the month of September. During
October and November the church or
‘ganizations will be trained for the
‘big drive which comes the first week
in December.
“I feel very much encouraged with
our geneval work in the campaign,”
said Dr. Cree, “because this Mercer
meeting indicates that everywhere we
are meeting with a co-operation that
undoubtedly means our victory.”
While the Baptist leaders were in
Macon they were shown many cour
tesies by the local Baptists and the
two days passed pleasantly for every
one who attended.
Another meeting of the campaign
forces in the districts of the state
will be called shortly.
THE STEEL MULE IS
COMING TO HIS OWN
While mule flesh has been going
up, mule iron and steel has been
coming down, and at the same time
the steel mule has been proving its
superiority in so many ways over the
mule of flesh.
Out of our window, one day last
week, we saw a string of seven new
IFordson Tractors wending its way
into Butler’s Garage, and inquiry
brought out the fact that these were
just part of the number placed re
cently by the agents here.
At the prices now offered few large
farmers can afford to do without a
tractor, and no one doubts that the
Fordson will meet all the require
ments of general farm work as well
as doing all the breaking and deep
ploughing.
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while | suffered with stomach trouble. [would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with |
butter, oil or grease, | would spit it up. I began to have 3
regular sick headache. [ had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. [ found they were
no good at all for my trouble. I heard

liver medicine made. |do not have sick headache or
stomach trouble ang more.” Black-Draught acts on
the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of
throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys
tem. This medicine should be in every household for
use in time of need. Geta package today. If you feel

GEO. E. BENSON, JR.,
Cobb’s youngest soldier is back
from the war. George E. Benson, Jr.,
who enlisted before he was fifteen
years old, and who landed in France
on his fifteenth birthday is back at
Camp Gordon and has been at the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
G. E. Benson, on Waddell street, on
a visit.
Despite his year’s experience over
there and the rough .army training,
George still looks almost as boyish
as he did when he left home. At
the same time, however, he is suffi
ciently grown in appearance to have
passed the doctors and enlisting offi
cers as a ‘grown man.
George is uncertain about the
time of his discharge as there seems
to have been some misunderstanding.ri
about the term of his enlistment.
He enjoys the distinction of be
ing the youngest veteran from Cobb,
and probably there are few younger
in the whole country. He has just
celebrated his sixteenth birthday on
August first this year, having seen
nearly a year and a half of service.
WEEKLY WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Diminished rainfall during most of
the past week was somewhat favor
able, but heavy rains occurred again
at the close of the week in the central
southern divisions where they will be
particularly unfavorable. There was
also a general deficiency of sunshine.
The general progress of crops has
been poor. Late corn is generally
only fair, except on uplands; pulling
fodder is becoming general.
Sweet potatoes promise an extra
large yield, but the crop is getting
grasy in places. Peanuts are mature
in some sections, but are giving only
a fair yield. Sorghum has suffered
from excesisve rainfall, while sugar
cane continues to do well.
In some s ections the weather was
warm and dry, and planting fall gar
dens made some headway; planting
turnips, cabbages, and grens progress
ed favorably. A large crop of hay
is indicated, but hay making is late
in most sections.
Cotton made rather por progress
during the week, and is still suffering
much from shedding and weevils. The
crop is opening very late in all see
tions; some early bales have been
sold. With a week or so of dry wea
ther picking would soon become gen
eral. The crop continues to do well
in the northern division, where, how
ever, very little is open yet.
