FAIR DEALING IN MINSTRELSY
THE RECORD OF COBURN

Manager Coburn's trade mark is
and has been for years Your Moneys
Worth or Your Money Back" It is an
absolute guarantee of a clean, first
class minstrel attraction of fair deal
ing, all promises honorably fulfilled
and faithful performance of all con-
tracts entered into. For years Joe
Coburn has been visiting Americus
each season little bigger and better
attraction and always clever, clean,
enjoyable performance, free from OBJ
jectionable words or actions. He is
known to every man, woman and child
among his patrons as a courteous, en-

whom it is a pleasure to meet. Every
performance has his personal super
vision and he is attentive to the COM
fort of each and every person who en-
ters the theatre. The company this
year is an entirely new one, is better
than ever, and you will miss the best
minstrel show of the season if you fail
to see him and his merry men tomor

4 DIVISION OF CONFERENCE
WILL BE DISCUSSED.
At Meeting of MethOdists in Waynes.
bOrO Shortly.

Methodists of Americus are inter-
ested in the forthcoming session OF
the South Georgia Conference assem-
bling at Waynesboro on December
5th, as at this meeting will be dis
cussed the proposed division of the
conference body.
1t is pointed out by those who are
urging this action that the South
Georgia Conference has become too
large for one jurisdiction and that it
should be divided.
It is said that the ministers and lay
men in attendance at sessions is too
large to entertain them.
A more cogent reason for the di-
vision of the conference is that the
present division has difficulty in look
ing after the interests of its many
ministers and charges, who number
more than five hundred.
While it is not likely that there will
be any change at this time, the ques-
ton will be discussed and a commit
tee may be appointed to prepare a
report for the 1910 session.

DEMONSTRATION WORK
lNAUGURATED HERE
Interest is Taken in Farm
ing Operations.

The good roads of Sumter county
have been a means of interesting the
United State Department of Agricul-
ture specially in her farmers, and, as
result, it has established what IS
termed the Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration Work." and which al
ready is being inaugurated upon farms
here in Sumter county.
The farmers are being asked to con
duct the work of preparing their
lands fertilizing, planting, cultivat-
ing and gathering their crops as the
department shall direct Each farm
er can take as many acres as he de-
sires, so it is not less than two acres.
Usually 4 or acres are taken and
the rest of the farm conducted as pre-
viously In this way comparison of
results can be had
The three most important points
stressed are deep fall preparation If
the land with a disc plow if possible
frequent cultivation and seed selec-
tion.
In other counties in Georgia, where
the demonstration work has been con
Quoted, records of from so to 10
bushels of corn per acre where 10 90
Is bushels was the average, and from
to bales of cotton per acre where
a bale to acres was the average
have been made
Sumter county has as good land as
can be found in the state, and no doubt
her record for another year will be
quite as good as that of any other
county.
Mr.. G. V. Cunningham of Americus,
the agent for the department in Sum-
ter, will visit each one of the demon
strators, as the farmers who take UP
the work are called, once each month, |
and will assist in any way possible |
and offer any suggestions he may see
fit
There is no charge for the service, |
or any extra expense in doing the |
work. Farmers who are anxious 10 |
become better farmers and are will !
ing to do the work as directed are |
wanted. Many have already gone into
the work. Those interested might |
write Mr. Cunningham; he is very
much interested in the owrk and will |
take great pleasure in explaining It.
