He emphasized the importance of poultry keeping in the economy of the farm. Poultry, pork and cattle, he declared will save the farmers of Chesterfield county from bankruptcy on account of boll weevil. The market question was touched upon and it was shown '* that there is no difficulty in that direction. The question of feeding baby chicks was discussed by Messrs. J. W. Hanna, Parnell Meehan and Miss Haynie. The main points stressed were the use of buttermilk and green feed for young chicks and a feed rich in protein for laying hens and a plentiful supply of ground oyster shells was considered invaluable.

Davis, four sisters and two brothers. The whole community extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. The body was laid to rest Thursday morning at Bethel Church. The large crowd at the funeral attested the love held for little Ivy and the family. We hate to lose our little darling from our midst but "God's will be done." He has a better home for her and we should be glad that "ho is reaping the golden harvest of her sweet little life. She is "Asleep in Jesus Forever more at rest." * < PIGS FOR SALE?II. L. Spencer, .

The selling contest is on in earnest. Two rival teams, the Reds and the Blues are canvassing for season tickets good for six entertainments. These tickets sell for $2.00. Single tickets are 50 cents each. The importance of the event and its influence for good can not be overestimated. The Radcliffe Chautauqua claims consideration as a national institution?national not only in the scope of its operation, but national in the American spirit it emphasizes and in the enthusiasm with which it discuses the fundamentals of American life. The Radcliffe Chautauqua sounds the keynote for higher achievement in the community; achievement not only in business, economics and social intercourses, but in art and in the rlaxatiohs which provide the play necessary to make life's work the more effectual. A wealth of music of the best kind is available and wholesome entertainment, vnried as it is attractive, provides a liberal element of diversion without sacrifice of "intellectual standards. Every taste is appealed to by a Radclitfe Chautauqua. Special provision is made for the young folks who are taught new gams and told the stories dear to childhood, by a Junior Worker who has made a special study of this new and highly important branch of education. As childhood bnpadens into youth a greater appreciation is shown for the music and the human nature studies presented by accomplished artists. Maturity linds in the Raaclift'e Chautauqua an opportunity for thoughtful contact with the world at large. The best ideas are placed before an audience with greater clarity and intimacy than would be possible through any other medium. The lectures are Unified, delivered by accomplished speakers, and as they proceed logically from one topic to another asiist in a solution of mpny perplexing problems, iney appeal iu those who delight iii accurate thinking as well as in elequc?* vnression. They inspire and vitalize in a manner particularly valuable at the time when the world^concentrates its every effort mi industrial regeneration. Three days of music, melody and merriment, combined with a series of lectures practical and purposeful are provided for. Three days' offering a neverchanging panorama of relaxation and constructive thought. In bringing the Radcliffe Chautauijue here, the Committee was actuated solely by the spirit of service to the community, not by any thought of financial gain. However, the local committee takes charge of all receipts and after paying expenses, retains any surplus for community betterment. It is a movement led by public- spirited citizens strictly in its civic as wel las indivadual life. As such, it seeks and merits the active support and co-operation of every resident.

VITALITY ] i You Muil Have It To Keep Your Job, Your Frienda, Your Hfppineaa Thousands of thoughtless people needlessly let themselves run down in health.

If you feel weak or run down or do not sleep well or are nervous and have a poor color, don't wait until it ia too late.

For thirty years Gude's Pepto-Mangan has been helping people who were^mn-down PITIFUL PLIGHT OF NORTH WEST GEORGIA By One Who Know# ' "Prepare for war in time of peace," is an ancient but true slogan, but one which all nations and peoples of every age have failed to recognize. The people of North West Georgia treated Lhis slogan in a light hearted manner, and as a result of this indifference' they are at this identical time suffering the pangs of hunger and neces-; jity. | The people of North West South Carolina are not profiting by the visible mistakes of their brothers across the Savanah and will suffer physical lorrors if they do not at once open their eyes and gaze at the pitiful fate >f North West Georgia. Three years ago the North West Georgia farmer said that the famous joll weevil would never make desolate lis flourihsing cotton fields. Today .his victim of procrastination is facng the winters' wind in shriveled ages. Wheat bread and the various mrietics of meat are luxuries of the last. Yellow corn bread and sweetened water is the daily ration of hunlreds of Georgia farmers. These poor leople prepared not for pestilence ind lean years when times were good. They are now shedding tears of peni-1 ence for their negligence and sin. i As was old Pharoah of sacred hisory, the good people of Chesterfield :ounty have been warned of a threatming famine. One like the Egyptians amine that could be presented only >y extra exertions on the part of ?f the native people. A little additional acreage each rear in tiie peanut, water melon, train and pasture acreage has made he wide awake farmer of South Geor- , pa master of the boll weevil situ-' ition. The Chesterfield county farmer vho is situated nearer the great North vith its millions of people can master his critical situation as well as the >eople of any other section of Dixie. F. H. Counts.
