MRS. ELLA WINTER FALLS AND
BREAKS HIP.
News was received from Atlanta
this week of an accident to Mrs Ella
Winter, formerly of Thomson, and
whom everybody here knows and es
teems. In some manner Mrs. Win
ter fell and broke her hip, which was
considered as being rather serious,
though her friends are optomistic
about her condition. Her many
friends here hope she will soon re
cover from her injury.
COTTON TURNING OUT WELL.
Due to the excellent weather con
ditions and, too, to the catterpillar,
which ate the leaves from the stalks,
cotton is turning out well in McDuffie
county. Bolls are opening to the top
of the stalks, which is rather unusual
under boll weevil conditions. Some
of the prettiest samples seen in a
long time are being turned out from
the gins of Thomson and McDuffie
county.
The Progress hopes next week to
give a summary of ginning in the
county to date.
TWO COWS SHOT.
Wednesday night someone shot
with a shotgun, two cows belonging
to Mrs. R. E. L. Evans, who lives a
mile -and a half from town on the
Wrightsboro road.
Mrs. Evans says she cannot ac
count for the cows being shot, as she
had them in the pen that njght, and
next morning she found them out of
the pen several hundred yards from
the house. One milk cow was dead
and a male was so badly injured that
it was expected Thursday that it
would also die. That a shotgun was
used was evident by the badly lacer
ated wounds found on the animals.
Homemade Vases.
A young housewife who had two
pretty plain-colored vases In her living
room, one dark green and one light
blue, explained to admiring friends
how she had mnde them. They were
merely wide-mouthed bottles of pleas
ing shape, which had been treated to
a coat or two of ordinary paint. The
idea might easily be elaborated by
trnclng In lead pencil a simple out
line, perhaps a llower or conventional
design, to be filled In with a contrast
ing color. Such vases muy he made
to harmonize with any furnishings.

SOUTHEASTERN FAIR SCHOOL
WITH RAILROAD FARE PAID
ALSO MEALS AND CAMPING QUARTERS GIVEN
YOUNG MEN FROM EACH COUNTY AT FAIR
OCTOBER 6 TO 13.
TWO
Atlanta, Ga.—Having in mind the
fact that education of young people of
the country Is the most important
vfork that can be accomplished, The
Southeastern Fair Association has in
stituted a number of plans and con
tests to attract the young men and
young women, and one of these is the
Southeastern Fair School.
The particular purpose of this is to
offer to a selected body of young men
the means for systematic study and
observation under competent instruc
tors of the agricultural and education
al exhibits at the Fair, and through
these young men to reach back home
the older and the younger men.
Two from each county, between the
ages of 15 and 18, are to be selected
by competitive examination. They
will purchase round trip tickets to At
lanta and return from their homos, the
amount being refunded them upon
their arrival at the Fair, where they
will be assigned to suitable camping!
grounds and given their meals during
their attendance.
The counties from which the boys
come are asked to give five dollars
for each boy to pay for the short
term scholarship. The Extension Di
vision of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and the United States De
partment of Agriculture will co-operats
with the county authorities to secure
these funds and: to provide instruc
tors for the school.
The forenoon each day will be ds-
voted to study, observation and class
work, anil the evening to the attend
ance of illustrated lectures and the
writing up of notos. Ample time each
afternoon will be free to visit the
various exhibits and attractions on the
Fair grounds.
County school superintendents and
county or district demonstration
agents will have charge of the county
contests for the selection of the boys,
and fortunate indeed will be those
who win the scholarships at the Fair
School this year.
Bright Spots at Southeastern Fair
One of the attractions not appearing on the printed programs, yef
most decidedly ah Interesting exhlb It. The real benefit the young
people will get out of the Southeastern Fair, In Atlanta, October 6 tq
13, will be of an educational char acter.
Last Longer-
Less Adjustment
Buick Four-Wheel Brakes
Buick four-wheel brakes not only double the
braking efficiency of the new 1924 Buicks by
doubling the braking surface, but for the
same reason lessen the wear on each brake
mechanism in proportion. Buick four-wheel
brakes last longer. They require less adjust
ment and the linings da not wear down
as quickly.
Simple in construction and positive in action,
Buick four-wheef* brakes give added safety
under all circumstances. They are of the
Buick external contracting type and each
brake has a three-quarter wrap or grip in
stead of the usual half-way grip.
Buick four-wheel brakes are operated with
a slight pressure on the service brake pedal.
They act quickly, smoothly and easily.
All 1924 Buieks (both fours and sixes) have
these new four-wheel brakes. In addition,
tbe 1924 Buicks embody further advance
ments in power, in construction and in beauty
that make Buick more than ever “the
Standard of Comparison”.
