FARMERS URGED TO CO. OPERATE
WITH DEMONSTRATION AGENT
To the Farmers of Cobb County:

To the Farmers of Cobb County:
A few months ago, / with sever
al public spirited men of the County,
launched a proposition to employ
and maintain in Cobb County a
Farm Demonstration Agent to work
among the farmers and try TO i'm
prove general farm conditions, and
encourage in every way possible, the
best methods of farming About sew
enty counties out of the hundred
and forty six in Georgia, had pre-
viously employed such men to be the
County Commissioner of Agriculture.
After discussing with the authori-
ties of the State College Of Agricul-
ture, and the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, the question of placing
such a man in Cobb County, it was
found that it was necessary to pay
one-half of the expenses of this man
for two years, after which time tn >
State College of Agriculture and the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
would maintain this man in the
County permanently, at their own
expense. We raised about $500 of
the fund by public subscription, and
the County Commissioners generous
ly contributed the other $500 which
made the 5000 fund that was nee
essary for us to raise. The State
College of Agriculture and the u. S.
Department of Agriculture paid $500
per year, which made it possible for
us to employ a man to be Farm Dem
onstration Agent for Cobb County,
who is to work in cooperation with
the two above named institutions.
We have been very fortunate in Sc
curing the services of a good man
to take charge of this work. He is
Mr.. J. E. Creel who for two years
had charge of the Agricultural work
at the District Agricultural School
at Powder Springs. Mr.. Creel is thir-
ty years of age, was raised on the
farm of his father in Campbell Conu-
ty, attended the North Georgia Ag-
ricultural College for three years,
and graduated from the Institution.
Since graduating from Dahlonega,
he has been teaching Agriculture in
the Agricultural Schools of this
State. He had charge of the Agri-
cultural Department, including the
farm, at Powder Springs for two
years. He then took charge of the

ing him for his services.
Mr.. Creel will have hea,

Mr. Creel will have Headquarters
in Powder Springs, but he will trav
ell over the county the most of the
time. He will probably arrange to
have an office in Marietta, and to
be in that office probably on Sat
urday of each week, in order that
any one desiring to get any inform
alton may do so on a certain day. If
you want any advice or literature
on any farm subject, and will write
to Mr.. ]. E. Creel, Farm Demonstra
ton Agent, Powder Springs, Ga, he
will call on you and give you the
I desired information. If you will CO.
operate with this man and allow
him to show you that the most pro-
gressive methods of farming are not
very PRACTICAL but PROFITABLE
Cobb County will double in produc-
tion of all crops within the next
five years.

Accidents Held Unavoidable

Atlanta, May IA Investigations
have absolved the interested par
ties from all blame in the tao
fatal accidents which have occurred
here during Shrine week. In tie
case of E. L Mauk, of Americus,
visiting Noble from Alec Temple
whose car ran down and killed
Miss Wortham, investigation has
shown that Mr.. Mauk is free of
all blame; that he was driving
slowly and carefully and that the
accident was unavoidable.
In the case of W. H. Smith, the
Calhoun, Ca, barber who was shot
to death a couple of hours after
midnight, in the home of j. j.
Edwards. Mr.. Edwards who fired
the shot is held blameless not on
ly by the police but by Smiths
own relatives. Smith got into a
strange house, and was mistaken
for burglar.

show themselves and everybody asks
what is going on in the north.
As far as can be learned the French
massed troops appear to be intact
except for those losses which were in
eyitable in a weeks heavy fighting
over a vast front.
If the British and French retire on
the western flank, it is explained
that they do so to choose their ground

DESCRIBES BATTLE
AT THE NAMUR FORTS
BELGIAN LIEUTENANT SAYS GER
MANY OVERWHELMED FORTS
WITH ARTILLERY FIRE.

London, Aug. 29-S p. m.--Lieuten.
ant Deppe of the Belgian infantry,
who was in command of the cyclist
section at Namur, in report to the
official bureau, says the fortress CT
Namur was completely evacuated by
the Belgians at 5 o'clock on the after
noon of August %.
Lieutenant Deppe says when he left
Namur the Germans had knocked to
pieces three of the forts northeast of
the town with lIowtzer fire. Be
tween these forts they advanced and
bombarded the town, which was de
Tended by the Belgian Fourth divi-
sion. Namur was evacuated when the
defenders were unable TO support a
heavy artillery fire.
The Germans attacked in forma-
tion three ranks deep; the front rank
lying down, the second kneeling and
the third standing. Fifty or sixty
Howitzers were brought into action
by the Germans, who concentrated
several guns simultaneously on each
fort and smothered it with fire.

ALLIES ARE
CENTERED
ON MORE COMPACT LINE OF DE
FENSE INSIDE FRENCH BORDER
WITH PROBABLE OFFENSIVE
MOVEMENT.

London, Aug. 29.-11:10 p. m.-The
French and British are gathering
every man and gun available in north
western France in an attempt to stop
the German advance on the road to
Paris.
1t also is said General Joffre, COM
mander-in-chief of the French army,
will endeavor to strike at the German
right and bring relief to British and
French forces which have been placed
in a critical situation by the German
outflanking movement.
How far the allies have succeeded
in getting across the German path is
not disclosed, for the outside world Is
ignorant tonight of what is happening
on the battlefield.
report comes both from Antwerp
and Copenhagen, that the Germans
have commenced a movement back
from the west to meet the Russians
advancing through east Prussia. But
it is hardly likely they will make any
great demands on the western army
until the big battle, in which there
seems to have been a lull, has been
definitely decided.
Field Marshal Sir John French, the
British commander, whose army has
been hard pressed, was in communi-
cation with the British war office
late today, and disproved the German
official report that the British had
been encircled by the Germans.
Today's reports from the German
general staff are not more illuminat-
ing than merely to say that the crown
princes army, who occupied LongNy,
now is advancing toward the Meuse;
that a French advance from Nancy
had been repulsed and that third
army is advancing through the Vos-
yes. This probably is the army
which is said to be making Belfort its
objective.
The Russians continue their masGs
through east Prussia and confirma-
ton comes tonight of the statement
that they had invested Koenigsberg
and had taken Allenstein 1t will be
long time, however. before they can
directly threaten Berlin or, indeed,
befor their millions OF men can reach
the scene of the Austrian frontier,
where troops OF the Russian emperor
are engaged in a general battle on a
front of 1856 miles between the Wis
tula and Lemberg, capital of Glacla.
There is considerable uneasiness
over the attitude of Turkey. Athens
tonight repeated the report that Ger
man naval officials and sailors are On
| the way to Constantinople
There has been strong denunciation
of the continuance OF football cricket
and other games while the British
army is fighting, and more men are
required to reinforce them, and par
ticularly of young men watching
matches while Secretary for Wal
Kitchener is calling for recruits.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts re
ferred to this today in a speech to {

cruited from business and profes
