To the People of Carter County and OF
Ardmore

Mrs. Georgia Scott respectfully
asks that all persons interested in the
development of Carter county, and the
advancement of our agricultural in
terests, to contribute as you see fit to
do, to prize fund for the Girls
Canning and Poultry Club" Some
work that will tell has been done with
the girls OF the county this year, and
we think they should be encouraged
1t means much to the girls them
selves, and vastly more to the inter
ests of the county, and especially &c
the women on our farms. This work
opens uD to them a possible source
of pleasure as we'll as profit hitherto
undreamed of. Just think what |
would mean to Carter county to ge'
this industry we'll established here
and get out people to realize the i'm
portance of it. 1t would mean thous
ands of dollars not only to the WON
en- and girls of the farms and homes
of every description, but to the busi-
ness men as well.
We hone the business men of Ard
more and also all the men of oul
small towns will appreciate this en-
terprise enough to contribute liber-
ally to this prize fund-money, fine
poultry or pigs.
We would like to raise as much a
$4,000 right away. Please leave you
contribution with Mr., n. II. McCol
of the Commercial Club, or see Mrs
Scott at the court house, or let he
know, and she will call for it. Let
all help in this cause

mill, he assents. So. on or about
September %, whenever the New
York promoters are ready, he and
Jeanette are to struggle.
The $3.50 and half the movie"
money, of course, are big induce
ments. But. believe me, johnson, a
shrewd business man, has figured
even further. He knows he can
outlook Jeanette in ten rounds, and
do it handily, too. He will probab-
ly pile up a big lead on the New
York negro. And later when
Jeanette will challenge for a fight
over championship distance,
Z Johnson will be able to crawl out
of such by claiming>
"Oh. I gave Jeanette a good
beating in New York. He and

Therefore the coming ten-round
fight in Gay Gotham is going to
furnish a fine young loophoIe for

tied amount of punishment and can
recover from blow faster and
better than any fighter in the game
today
;. Johnson knows that Jeanette
does not fear him and therefore
will fight at top speed.
3. Johnson's best blow is an up
percut-both right and left. jean
nette is not a rushing fighter and
stands erect. 1t will be impossible
for Johnson to use an uppercut ex-
cept when in a clinch on Jeanette.
Il. Johnson's best blows, including
the uppercut, will be Of little use
to him. for Jeanette is a bear on
the defense when in close.
3. Jeannette's best blow land. for
that matter, about his only blow)
Is a left jab, which is lightning
fast. And with it Jeanette can
beat johnson to the punch every
time.
IOHNSON'S seven fights with
) Jeanette were before Joe beat
Sam McVey in 40 rounds in Paris.
April II, 1909. But that fight in
France has caused Johnson to ap-
preciate what a wonderful scran-
per the New York negro really is.
On February 20. 1909, Jeanette
and McVey fought terrific 80
round draw in Paris. During the
early rounds McVey made a chop-
ping block of Jeanette, but from
the 18th round on Joe came back
strong and all but knocked Samuel
out. He Immediately challenged
McNey to a finish fight.
McNey agreed, after being given
about all the money there was in the
house. So on April II they fought
the greatest fight ever witnessed
east of the Atlantic ocean.
For forty rounds McVey made q
punching bag out of Jeanette.
knocking him down 90 separate
and distinct times. But in the 41st
round McVey began to tire-tire
from punching Jeanette so hard
and often. And right there the
tide of battle changed.
From then on through the 4Sth
round Jeanette jabbed the totter-
ing McNey from rope to rome
When Sam went to his corner at
the end of the 10th he was prac-
tlcally out-out from exhaustion
The minutes rest did Aim no good,
and when the bell rang for the
start of the 5Oth round his seconds
tossed in the sponge as a token of
defeat. He couldn't get off his
stool.
NJ NEY is now and always was a
harder puncher than Johnson.
Jack knows this. And believe me.
this is going to keep him from ever
hghting Jeanette in a finish fight
lie figures that if McVey. who
landed his hardest and flush time
and again, could not stop the New
Yorker, then he realizes he can not.
All of which proves that ]. Ar.
thuf Johnson is wise champion
A ND the longer johnson puts off

Is going to be for him; that is. if he
ever fights him at all. And for

has no bad habits while Johnson is

lous-and stil is. It was not only
due to the fact that he gave the
fans pennant winner, but to the
added fact that he played the los
ing hand in an unpopular game for
supreme baseball power in Atlanta.
The famous Heisman- Smith con-
troversy is history now and should
not be raked up. But the fans
were on Smiths side, whatever the
merits Of the case were, and they
will welcome Smith back with ex-
ira rejoicing on that account.
