“Washigton Pie”
While It seems impossible to trace
Washington pie to its original maker,
It is interesting to note that recipes

books.
Atlanta. Ga.—Again this year, fur
ther improvement will be marked in
tha greatest single feature of the
Southeastern Fair, October 4 to 11, the
National Hcg and Cattle Show, which.
In Itself, will be enough to draw many
thousands of visitors to Atlanta dur
ing fair week.
The capacity of the barns and pens
will be taxed and additional space
may be necessary for new herds ex
pected. “However, no matter how
many animals are entered, standard
accommodations will be provided for
them,” said President Oscar Mills, of
the fair association. “We believe that
our live stock exhibit is a barometer
of conditions throughout the South,
and, aside from the large number of
entries already received, so favorable
are the reports of Southern prosperity,
that we are assured of the greatest
show yet held.”
That progress Is being made and
excellence attained by breeders of
this section may be attested by the
fact that a herd of Jerseys from Geor
gia waB exhibited as far in the North
west as Grand Forks, North Dakota,
this summer. Herefords, Shorthorns,
Jerseys, Aberdeen-Angus, Guernseys,
Holstein-Friesians and Ayrshires will
all feature in the cattle barns, and
the competition will be keen for th6
prize money offered in each class.
What is true of cattle Is equally
so of hogs, big premiums being placed
on the leading classes of swine, nota
bly: Duroc-Jerseys, Hampshires, Po
kind Chinas, Spotted Poland Chinas and
Berkshires. The finest individuals,
herds, groups, champions and grand
champions produced in this country
will be found in the pens of the big
show.
“One of the purposes of the South
eastern Fair,” stated Secretary R. M.
Striplin, “Is to help the people of this
section get away from paying the. high
cost of refrigerated freight trains from
the West and through the cattle exhili
its at the National Hog and Cattle
Show, we are confident that we are in
some measure succeeding.”

DEATH OF LITTLE GEORGE
THOMAS MAY.
The community was shocked Sun
day by the death of the little three
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. T.
May, which occurred Sunday after
noon at five o’clock, after getting his
leg broke and several other injuries
last Saturday afternoon.
He leaves besides his parents, two
little brothers, R. T., Jr., and Allen
May, and one little sister, Virginia
May, and a great host of friends are
also left to mourn his death.
IN MEMORY OF LITTLE GEORGE
THOMAS MAY.
On August 31, 1924, the death
angel visited the home of Mr. and
Mrs. R. T. May and took from them
their little son, George Thomas.
A precious one from them has gone,
A voice they loved is still.
A place in their home is vacant,
Which can never, never be filled.
I would that the gates might open;
Those beautiful gates of light,
And your eyes could look through the
Glory,
And see where there comes no
night.
I know you could see little George
Close to the Saviour’s side;
To each dear one just entering
His arms are still open wide.
Your heart yearns sore for your dar
ling,
Oh, how can you give him up?
God does not ask you fond parents
To drain so bitter a cup.
“Can you trust me with your little
darling George”?
Will you let your darling go
To rest in the arms of Jesus,
Who loves His children so?
As the pearly gates he enters,
From his face wiped every tear,
All doubt would give way to trusting
And love that casteth out fear.
God is keeping your little George for
you,
And when you reach the heavenly
shore,
He’ll give back to you your little
darling,
Now and forever more.
Written by a cousin,
NINA McCORKLE.
