Pelhr.m —Reports received at Pel

farmers of Tift county will reduce

fall. ,
Jonesboro. —The farmers of Clay
ton county are already making prep
arations to sow more grain this fall
than usual.
Crawfordville. —The farmers in
this county are storing their cotton,
filling the'warehouses. The farmers
say they will reduce cotton acreage
next year and give more attention to
grain crops,
Fitzgerald.—Many of the farmers
of Ben Hill county have declared
their intention not to plant any cot
ton next year, and others will plant
very little, so that there will be not
over one-third as much planted next
year as this, if they stick to their
present ideas.
Jesup.—lf all counties in Georgia
diversified their crops like Wayne,
there would be no big surplus on hand
now. There are thousands of bushels
of -corn and many tons of hay for
sale here now.
Statesboro.—Just how much grain
will be planted in Bulloch county
next year has not been settled upon
up to this time, but it is ettrtain that
the cotton crop will be materially re
duced if the present feeling among
the farmers is maintained until the
next planting time.
Thomasville. —The Florida Central
railroad in the state of Georgia was
sold at public outcry here to the
Atlantic Coast Line railway for $22.-
000. It holds a mortgage on the
property for $20,000. The road ex
tends from Thomasville to the Flor
ida line. The sale includes two lo
comotives, cars and supplies and the
right of way in Georgia.

business people who have joined the
buy-a-bale movement at 10 cents per
pound, declare that they will plant
more wheat.
Columbus.—The cotton crop in west
Georgia next year will be substan
tially if not radically decreased.
Among those well posted on the sub
ject there is no doubt that such will
be the case. It is not a matter of
speculation or theory on the part of
the warehousemen, bankers and sup
ply men, but a very practical situation
that, exists.
Home. —Hard times in Rome are
not shown in the business of the
Home postoffice, which shows a grat
ifying increase over last year. The
receipts for the quarter ending Octo
ber 1, 1914, were $11,415, as against
$9,853 for the quarter ending Octo
ber 1, 1913. This is an increase of
$1,561, or 10 per cent.
lAugusta.—The Augusta Federation
of trades has taken up the matter
of supplying free school books and
supplies to poor children. This work
is being done largely in the two
wards where the mill population is
the densest, and where there is, con
sequently, the greatest need. It is
said that many children- 1 remain out
of the schools because their parents
are unable to supply them with the
necessary ixujks.
Rome. —The Floyd county board of
roads and revenues ordered Ordinary
Harry Johnson to call an election on
the bridge question. Under an act
passed at the last session of the leg
islature, the ownership of the bridges
over the Otowah and Oostauauia riv
ers n Rome is vested in the county
of Floyd. The election will probably
be < ailed tn November, at the time of I
the general election.
Waycross.—That the increase in I
acreage devoted to grain in Ware
will be at least 50 per cent as com
pared to the past season is evident
from statements made in Waycross
fcy some of the leading farmers of
the county. Corn in 1915 will be
one of the principal crops on every
farm. It is generally understood that
the cotton acreage will be cut ex
actly one-half. In other words, where
the county is producing 2,000 bales
the farmers in 1915 will cut this
1,000 bales.
Jackson. —Resolutions refusing to
sell cotton at the present prices, but
offering to tender the warehouse re
ceipts to merchants and others on a
basis of 10 cents per pound, and oth
ers providing for breaking away from
the one-crop plan, were adopted at a
mass meeting of Butts county. Show
ing just how keen the interest is in
the present situation, the attendance
was the largest in the history cf the
county on any similar occasion. The
county court house, where the meet
ing was held, was-erowded to its ca

MOTHERS AND DAME FASHION
Women Molds Her Daughter in Foun
dation of Style and Taste From
Earliest Years.
Take the average girl, carefully note
the manner in which she is dressed
and then you have an advertisement
—good or bad —for her mother.
In some subtle manner a mother
molds her daughter from babyhood in
the style of her clothing, and it is a
very important molding, too. For if
clothes do not make the man they do
go a long way in giving a true im
pression of a woman.
Every new dress that a mother buys
for her little girl is a small stone in
the foundation of style and taste that
will guide her daughter in future years.
I was taking tea with a well-known
public woman recently, and she called i
my attention to two young business
girls who were sitting at another table
in the restaurant. From the hat of one
hung a faded-looking rose, her low
necked blouse was not Improved by
her soiled coat collar, and above her
cheap-looking patent shoes showed
tawdry openwork stockings. The other
wore a smart, perfectly plain hat, neat,
well-fitting costume, and was tastefully
booted.

SOME FLIES IN OINTMENT
Bride Was Happy Enough, but There
Were a Few Things That Might
Be Unproved On.
A maid who had been employed in
the Benner home for several years ;
took unto herself a husband and went i
to a nearby town to live. One day
about a month after the wedding she
came to call on her former mistress,
who said:
“Well, Phoebe, I hope that you are
happy in your new home. How is your
husband?”
To this the bride of a month made
reply:
"Well, reckon I'm happy enough,
but the chimney In the kitchen don't!
draw none too good, an' the water in
the well is so brackish 1 ain't never i
gofn’ to git used to it. As for my hue-1

SKIN ITCHED AND BURNED
R. F. D. No. 1. Box 164, Bridgewater,
N. C. —“I was suffering with a skin
trouble which began after a spell of
sickness six years ago. It was mostly
on my body and I could not rest for
the itching and burning. It began like
a nettle rash, then it would break out
in pimples all over rne. I would sting
and burn and itch all over and I
scratched until I was almost raw. At
times I could hardly bear anything to
rub against the parts that were af
fected.
‘T do not know how many remedies,
soaps, etc., I tried but none did me
any good. Then I tried Cutlcura Soap
and Ointment and they seemed to be
the very thing that I needed. I only
used them four weeks and they com
pletely healed rne.” (Signed) Airs. H.

Women Active in Battle.
In all probability there were numer
ous women engaged in our Civil war,
especially in the gallant South. Dur
ing the present Mexican anarchy and
brigandage the brown women south
of the Rio Grande have followed their
men by hundreds and gone into the
fight with rilles in their hands. The
Boer women of the Transvaal fought
I beside their men in practically every
battle of both wars with England and
won many laurels by their excellence
in marksmanship and bravery. There
are battalions of Chinese women ready
jto support the celestial republic. It
is reported that female battalions are
being formed in Ireland to defend the
homes from invasion. Throughout the
Balkans women are preparing for mili- '
tary activities.
British Nobles as Police.
While all classes of Englishmen,
from the highest -to the lowest, are
; fighting for king and country on the !
' battlefield, an almost equally inspiring I
i picture of national unity may lie wit
nessed in England s capital.
For the further protection of life
and property hundreds upon hundreds
of special police, from marquises to
mechanics, are ready for duty in Lon
don.
Two cf the newest and most distin
guished members of the force are the
marquis of Lincolnshire and the earl
of Selborne.
Sign Causes a Near Riot.
A sign in Hie window of a grocery
store at Forty-third and Butler streets
that sugar was selling 25 pounds for
sl.lO caused a rush of women.
Men working at night or going to
work in the early morning had read
the sign and hastened to tell their
wives of the sale. Three hundred
women congregated, seeking oppor
tunity to buy.
The storekeeper found that a joker
had been at work. Wednesday eve
ning he had painted a sign, “Sugar,
25 pounds $1.90." Some one had
erased the loop from the figure nine.

Brain Food Needed.

' three men —that formed the audience
for his second series of lectures at
the Propyleum. Doctor Krebs is tak- I
ing the adult for his subject. He told (
! how a person may be cheerful under ।
I adverse circumstances, and he quoted j
a friend who was and had been a ■
cripple from rheumatism forty years,
and yet she is the cheeriest of women.
’’Cheerfulness," he said, "Is the sun
shine of the soul. A person gets joy
and life from what Is received and
this woman preached by her life. Cul
tivated people should be cheerful, he
said, and added there are three things
that cheerfulness will do. It will drive
away the gout, it will make one live
long and it will make one good looking (
