A Correction.

A false impression has gotter
abroad to the effect that competi
tion in the poultry department Of
the coming Ben Hill County Fair Is
Limited to the residents OF Ben Hill
County. Nothing could be further
from the facts. The competition Is
open to the world and exhibitors
from abroad are cordially invited to
enter their birds with the positive
assurance that every privilege en-
loved by any one shall be theirs.
The conditions Of entrance are
unusually liberal as no entrance fee
whatever is charged, while coops
and an abundance of feed is proVid-
ed free by the fair management.
That Ben Hill county and this
section of Georgia has facilities TO
putting up surprisingly fine poul,
try exhibit is fact we'll known 10
many, and in the hearty co-opera-
ton of the Fair Association and
the Ben He'll County Poultry Asso
citation successful SHOW is assured.
Farmers, everything is provided
ready to your hands-Nill you not
join us and make succ IS doubly
sure by making some entries OF
stock? We depend upon you.

BUSINESS OF BEING A WOMAN,

which women who are striving for Il

seek. Can they have both? II they
