The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1913-09-18

A record OF which any houseWllS
in Georgia may justly be proud IS
that Of Mrs. A. w. Goodwin, an en-
ergetic and aggressive Lees5urg
housewife, who has canned 50 far
this summer more than 600 cans OF
vegetables and fruits, including
olra, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, pears
vegetable soup and other good things
to eat.
The winter season will have no
terrors for the Goodwin household,
while the pantry is stocked with this
large and varied assortment Of cam
ned vegetables and fruits that may
be employed so handily and econom-
ically in varying the bill OF fare in
the most severe winter that may
visit this mild climate. Mrs. God
win surely wins the prize as the
most energetic Gamer of vegetables
and fruits in Lee county, while 1t
is doubtful if any housewife in Geor-
ola has a better record for sum-
mcr's work, both as regards the va
riety and the quality of the good
things that were prepared and pack
ed away in cans.
This is Mrs. Goodwin 3 first season
as an amateur Gamer, but she went
into the business i'll a thoroughly
sensible and businesslike manner,
having provided herself with for
ty-dollar canning machine after she
had secured about an acre or two
planted in the vegetables which she
wished to can. The canning outfit
proved to be wonder in the way Of
handling goodIy quantity Of canned
products each time on the kitchen
stove when Mrs. Goodwin saw fit to
use it, and this outfit has more than
paid for itself in a single seasons
work. The neat array Of cans pack
ed away in an Clubhouse at the God
win home is living example of the
variety of vegetables that can be
grown in Lee county almost with
out effort, while it is even more an
indication of the thrift and good
housekeeping of Mrs. Goodwin, who
is one of the few Lee county house
wives who have applied SO much
common sense to the canning BUSH
ness in a practical way.
There arc a number of house
wives throughout Lee county who
have done much canning and pre-
serving during the summer, for Lee
county is noted for the excellence
and variety of its products of this
kind, but there are few, if any, who
baye made the excellent record
made by Mrs. Goodwin. who, if there
we're a county fair here this fall
would doubtless carry away the pri-
re for the quantity and quality Of
canned goods exhibited. Such a fine
rechrd in canning is one Of the
strongest arguments in favor of a
canning club for Lee county and a
county fair this fall year. for both
Of which things The Journal is go
ing to work as diligently aspossible
throughout the remainder Of this
year and next spring until the fai.
is assured.

as property are guilty Of perjury IN
addition to their violation Of the
tax laws. In Lee county,
as in every other county in.
the state, a campaign Of education
and common honesty is needed to
secure the equitable return of prop
erty. The showing made by the
county this year is exceptionally
good in spite Of disregard by some
Of the letter and spirit Of the tax
laws.

Big Increase Shown in The
Early Part Of Cotton Season
LEE COUNTY CROP HARVESTED PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER
MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT OF LAST YEAR.-OFFICIAL
CENSUS OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
SHOWS BIG GAIN.

According to the official census
Of the United States government re-
lative to the number Of bales Of cot
ton ginned up to Sept. / Of this year
the total is more than double that
Of last year. The census figures have
just been made known by the fed
eral government through its local
representative, Mr.. e. B. Martin,
Jr., by whose courtesy they are pro-
duced herewith in The Journal.
According to the government re-
port there were 1850 bales of cotton,
counting round bales as half bales,
ginned in Lee countv>from the crop
Of 1913 prior to September /, as
compared with 563 bales ginned
prior to September j, 1912. These
figures, which are thoroughly accu-
rate and the only official records
kept of these activities, serve to
throw much light upon the market
ing Of cotton here this season, which
has been the most successful ever
known.
It has been easily seen by the
most casual observer that the cotton
receipts here this season have been
exceptionally good. The Journal
mape notice Of that at the beginning
Of the season and has been making
further mention of it since that
time. The ginning facilities here
have been increased one third, at
least, which has added to the num-
Der Of bales received here. There are
now three ginning plants in active
operation here, while there were
only two last year. This has helped
very much in increasing hegrowth
of cotton receipts.
The showing made is one Of the
most gratifying to the people of
Leesburg and Lee county. There
has been a corresponding gain in
the receipts Of cotton in all sections
Of the county, which shows clearly
that the people of Lee county are
keeping their cotton at home and
are trading at home, two things
which practically always go togeth-
er.
Especially gratifying are the re-
ceipts of cotton in Leesburg, which
have grown by leaps and bounds
since the season began. Vigorous
competition has been furnished here
this year as never before, while
courteous attention has been paid to
all the receipts Of cotton. The close
Of each since the season began has
consequently shown excellent gains.
At the close of business last night
at the local warehouse 1910 bales
Of cotton had been received, which
easily makes this the banner year
for cotton received in Leesburg,
while the season is still young and
cotton is coming in rapidly every
day. Such activities spell prosper
ity Of the most solid and satisfying
kind fol- the pc ople Of Lee county
