DO 1T NOW IS ADVICE
OF PONY CONTEST MAN,
AS SPECIAL OFFER ENDS

There is a homely maxim which
says that Providence helps those who
helps themselves. This is true in
anything, and is particularly true in
the pony outfit contest The Georgian
and The American are holding.
The Georgian and The American
are offering ponies and watches worth,
in the aggregate, several thousands
of dollars, as prizes which are yours
at no cost save the effort of hustling
for subscriptions.
The contest manager has gone sew
eraI steps farther and made a special
offer of extra votes which put a pre-
MUM on subscriptions brought in at
an early date. There is an offer of
10000 votes for the first $50 turned in
for subscriptions, and this offer may
be withdrawn at any time. Then
there is an offer of extra votes for
clubs of five. either yearly, half year
~, OF quarterly. This offer expires
soon.
DO it now therefore, should be
the contestants slogan.
That many of them have adopted
this motto is shown by the standings
published to-day, wherein great gains
are credited to a number of active
contestants This should prove an
example to the laggards-those who
are holding back'-always a dan
gerous practice, and doubly so in view
Of the special offers which expire

Climate and Soil

The climate is such that far
mers do not have to house
stock during the winter, there
being good grazing theentire
year. For raising cattle and
stock Georgia offers greater
inducements than can be
found elsewhere.
The soil is suited for almost
anything that grows and can
be utilized the entire year.
The prices at which good
farm land can be purchased
at present in Georgia are so
low that it is a matter of
comment - some thinking
that the land is not so good
as stated. The land is good,
but there are thousands of
acres that are now lying idle
and the good people of
Georgia are anxious for good
farmerstoComeamongthem.
Consequently the land is
cheaper here than elsewhere.
