The tourn ament will last for four days, from and including May 16-19. ‘ ! The golfers of the state are de- Jighted at going to Savannah, fori Savannah has always been a royal host, with the art of delightful en tertainment for fisitors that i 8 known and appreciated throughout the country. Tt a large number of the knights of the links will partici pate in this tourney is certain. At lanta will be largely represented, Messrs. Lloyd B. Parks, Lowry Ar nold and John 8. Cohen, who are looking after the tourney locally, announce that already twenty-five Atlanta golfers have signified theirl intention of going to Savannah to take part. There will be handsome cups gi ven to the winners in the tourna ment. In addition to the cup for the champion there will be trophies or cups for the winners in every flight that is filled. Last yvear the first state tourna ment was held at Brookhaven in Atlanta, and was a splendid success. No golfer who saw that spectacu lar match between Little Bob Jones and Perry Adair in the finals of this tournament last year, will for get it to his dying day. It was the most sensational match ever played in Atlanta and Bob, after being four down in the morning, won this tourney, two up, by a spec tacular rally in the afternoon. It i 3 very doubtful this year that either Bob or Perry because nt\ their school work, will be able to attend the Savannah tournament and for this reason, the probabili ties are that another state cham pion will be crowned in May. The tournament will be held over the beautiful 18-hole golf course at the Savannah Country Club, and the man in charge of the affair will be none other than that dynamo of en ergy and enthusiasm, Colonel Robh ert M. Hull, the first vice president of the State Golf Association, and known everywhere to his many friends as ‘“‘Bob.” The president of the State Golf association is Dr. J. A. Selden, cf Macon, Ga., and the secretary and treasurer is Lloyd B. Parks, of At lanta. e Golfers in all sections of the state are invited to participate in the affair, and nobody but a simon pure Georgian, or one who has taken out naturalization papers in the state, will be allowed to take part. So the champion of the state will be a Georgian, and not an out sider, as is the case in some state tourneys.—Atlanta Journal. of December, 1916, in ciuding Mr. Randall's salary .. » asihii e el 918989 The pay roli for the montn . of February, 19LT, Ins cluding Mr, Mmorris’ sal- LY e oo i a 9 86T 07 Which shows a saving of § 529.i2 Not only is the Road Crews af fected by this policy of economy, but every department of the County service under the judisdiction of the County Commissioners pave re sponded with splendid results, the general saving is shown by the County disbursements for the month of March, 1916, and the corresponil jng mont, in 1917. : \ Disbursements for March 910 Lol v s $40,386.08 Disbursements for March | VLT e oo S diiaeaY 8 el 3% Ditference (.o il iBS 961088 The books do not show any extra expenditure in March 1916, such as purchase of t*(;llixlllxte;ft. etc., while in March 1917 all bills against tae County that were due and presented were paid.

KNOXVILLE BUSINESS MEN + IN MARIETTA ON TUESDAY The boostingest band of boosters with a band to boost the hand of boosters landed in Marietta about sevelj-thirty Tuesday might knd Dlew tngir horns for about fifteen or twenty minutes. It was the an nuil trade trip of the Knoxville Board of Commerce and they had the brass band of tne Univellty of Tennessee and a Boy Scouts drum corp With them. At the last min ute the plans for the trip were changed and it was made a ‘“pre paredness’ tour with several army and navy officers in the party. At Marietta they were received by a large delegation of citizens and after a parade around the square there were speeches from the band stand in tne park. Col. M. M. Sessions made the address of welcome and Judge Lindsey acted as master of ceremonies. Col. “Ty son made the principal address and was frequently applauded by the large crowd as he urged citizens to join the army and navy and help support tne cause of humanity. Among the party was Commodors Nelson, wno was with Ad miral Dewey at the battle of Ma nilla Bay when the Spanish fleet was put our of action during the Spanish-American war,.

To the Officers and Members of the [Farrmiers Union of Georgia: On May the First and Seccnd toere will be held a state meeting of the Farmer’s Union of Georgia in Atlanta, Ga., State Capitol. 1 am Assured of large delegations from all sections of the state al ready, and I am especially anxious for as many members as possible to be present. In addition to the mem bers, I extend a most cordial in vitation to all farmers and business men of tne state, who are in sym patny with the Farmer’s U_nion, to attend. Just at present we have some se rious questions before the people to be solved. One of the most impor tant questions before us is that of working out a Marketing System for the farmers of Georgia. We have been studying production and scientific farming for many years. This has met with great successs and I hope this good work will go on—in fact, it must—but the time has come when tne _farmer must work out a system that will give him profits as well as products from his farm. / Since we are confronted with the boll weevil in Georgia and have nad to substitute other crops for the cot ton crop, therefore the question of marketing has become more impor tant than ever before. It will be necessary to have an adequate sys tem in order to dispose of our pro ducts at reéasonable prices. Arrangements are now being made wity some of the foremost ag riculqural authorities and experts in preparation of the program of speakers which will be announced later. We want the opinion of our mem bers and farmers on this aand other questions and you are hereby called ‘tu meet on tne above date at the above place at 10 a. m. . Reduced railroad fares have al ready been secured. Do not fail to |have a good representation from lyour Local. J. H. MILLS, President. l ANDREW J.
