WHAT HAS BECOME OF HIM?

What has become of the old-fash-
toned boy who always had his peck
cts full of the treasured loot Of
youth?
What has become of the lad who
carried a barlow knife, a couple of
hundred feet of kite string and fish
line, a dozen marbles, a piece of
chalk, a few washers and spike nails
and a dozen or so of other things
around secreted in his voluminous
pockets?
No one ever sees him any more.
He does not inhabit the streets or
the vacant lots, He doesn't go to
school, and if he did the modern
wiseacres would hold him up at
the entrance and relieve him of his
treasures.
What has become of him? Where
has he gone?
Boy lovers say that modern Gus
toms and the manner of present-day
living has drove him out, and he
has entered into something not near
ly so wholesome or else has become
extinct

The Albany Herald's prize for the
best ten acres of corn grown in
Southwest Georgia is $500 instead
of 500. We have a idea, too, that
that money is coming away from AL

and wishes to say again that Editor
Mcintosh, the hog, hominy and hay
editor of Southwest Georgia, deserves
the thanks of all the people of all
sections for the interest he has
aroused in intensive and diversified
agriculture.

THE NEGRO STATE FAIR.

The negroes of Georgia held their
third state fair in Macon last week,
and the daily newspapers say it was
a success. There were many ex-
hibits that were highly creditable,
and showed the progress the negroes
are making. Many white people at
tended the fair, and Chancellor D. C.
Brown of the State University de-
livered an address
The white people are always ready
to encourage the negroes to be thrift
ty, and to extend helping hand to
those who are deserving. 1t has
been mainly with the help of white
people that so many negroes have
become the owners of homes and
productive farms.

Our old friend Alton B. Parker is

right to. He led the fight against

woul-be dictator than any one
else. Judge Parker is the logical
man for United States senator from
New York, but he has announced
that under no circumstances will he
accept the honor.

are taxed five cents dozen why
isn't a hen bird? An importer
