CORN and Pig SHOW
WILL BE HELD IN DAWSON On
FRIDAY, OCTOBER BOTH.
Demonstration Agent Kent Makes
Suggestions to Members of the
Corn and Pig Clubs.

10TH anu IS NA''
The following communication foom
Mr.. r. H. Kent, demonstration agent,
tn the members of the Boys Pig and
Corn Clubs of Terrell county contains
MANY valuable suggestions, and
should be of much interest to the
club members as well as the public
generally:
Your annual corn and pig snow
will be held at the court house in
Dawson on October goth, when l
hope to see you there with your ten
ears and other exhibits of corn and
also with your pig if you have raised
one. | will have men to talk to you
on corn and pig raising so that you
NAV do even better another year than
you have done this. All the prizes
will be awarded, and every boy VINO
makes an exhibit will get something,
SO let's get busy and win as many
prizes as possible. Here are a few
things you will have to do right
away:
list. Get two or three disinterested
men to mark off your acre and weigh
the corn. The entire crop of corn
must be weighed when it is in a
dry condition. Two 100-pOund lots
must be weighed from different parts
~. l. hal
the corn from these two lots in order
to find the average percentage of
shelled corn. Multiply the weight Of
the entire crop in the shuck by this
percentage and divide by Sc in order
to get the total number of bushels.
I regret that I will not have time to
help all the boys gather their crop,
but hope that this work can be done
right away.
End. Pick 10 ears for your exhibit
at he court house OH the date given.
Have them as near the same size,
length. color, etc, as possible. Pick
ears that are well filled out at tip and
butt. Have the rows straight and
close together. The ear should be as
near cylindrical as possible.
3rd. If you have not made out
your report do so and send it to me
right away.
4th. Get your teacher to help you
in preparing your essay on corn pro-
duction and hog raising. Write and
rewrite these till you get them cor
rect, with pen and ink.

SOUTH GA. CONFERENCE
WILL MEET IN DAWSON TUES
DAY, NOVEMBER Path.
FulIv Four Hundred Preachers and
Delegates Will Be Entertained
Here For One Week.

The Methodists of Dawson as well
as members of the other denomina-
lions of the city are beginning to en-
thusiasticlly plan for the reception
of the South Georgia Methodist Con-
ference, which meets here on Tues
day, Nov. oath.
This is no small undertaking, for
there will be more than four hun
dred preachers and delegates to be
our guests for the week of confer
ence. and this will mean that every
family in Dawson, regardless of what
religious denomination it belongs to,
will be expected to entertain one or
more delegates, and it is not too soon
to begin to plan how many you can
entertain and how you shall enter
tain them.
Dawson is noted among the Meth
odism of South Georgia for its christ
ian hospitality, and the Methodists
are expecting great things from the
good people of Dawson, and they are
coming with the firm belief that they
will not be disappointed. The News
knows Dawson well enough to feel
sure that she will not only not dis
appoint their distinguished visitors,
but will give them even more than
they are expecting.
1t is no small honor for town to
be selected as the meeting place of
this great body of christians, and it
is a privilege of which we should feel
proud. If We successfully entertain
this great Methodist host it will be
an advertisement for Dawson and
Dawson people that will pay the town
handsomely.
Let every family in Dawson ap-
point itself a committee of the whole
to make the meeting the most sue
cessfuI in the history of the confer
ence. and vie with our neighbors in
our efforts to show our guests what
old-time christian hospitality is.

SHORT WANTS
is SERVING A LIFE SENTENCE
FOR KILLING j. d. BASS.
In Plea Before Prison Commission
Attorneys for Convicted Man Say
Dead Man Invaded His Home.

| Dead Man invaded His Home.
ATLANTA.-The prison commits
sion listened to earnest pleas today
for Alva F. Short, of Sylvester, who
shot and killed j. Douglass Bass on
April 9, 1913.
The case is quite a celebrated one
in that section of the state. Short
and his brother-in-law, Linwood
Lunday, were Jointly accused of
shooting Bass to death but in the
trial Short absolved Lunday from
any blame, shouldering all response
bility.
The feud between the two men
arose over Bass attentions to Shorts
wife. 1t finally coming to Shorts ears
that Bass was paying too much atten-
ton to his wife he warned Bass that
he must leave the county.
According to Shorts testimony on
the stand Bass said he would leave
in two or three weeks.
"You must leave now-tonight,"
insisted Short.
Bass agreed, but did not live up to
his promise. On the day of the kill
ing the two men met to talk thirgs
over in alley, and shortly thereafter
shots were heard. When citizens ar
rived Bass was on the ground dead.
In the trial Short was convicted of
murder and sentenced for life. Now
his attorneys come urging parole, set
ting up the contention that Short was
justified in his act because Bass had
invaded his home.
The application is being resisted
by relatives and friends of the dead
man.
