The convention sessions will be held

floor of the Hotel Dempsey and ample
provision has been made for a big
crowd. The morning session will be-
gin at 10 o'clock and the hour of the
afternoon session will be decided on
by those present Thursday.
B. w Hunt, of Eatonton, formerly
president of the Georgia Bankers as
ISOLATION and one of the best posted
men in Georgia on agricultural mat
tiers, will be one of the principal
speakers at the conference.
The purpose Of the conference is to
discuss plans and devise mems for
handling the cotton crop in the coun-
try districts and small towns of the
state.
Information has been received that
the government will construe very
literally the emergency currency law
and is favorable to having loans made
on cotton at cents per pound, the
warehouse receipts to be certified nd
Endorsed by the banks.
Another pase of the question that
will be discussed at the conference
will be the curtailing of next years
crop. tits realized that there will be
an excess of four or five million bales
this year and as a result next years
crop must be reduced at least that
number of bales if prices are to be
kept up anywhere within reason.

Americas fans will have a chance
to see some baseball before Muckalee
park is closed for the season. Two
strong amateur teams have been Or
ganized and will meet in a series of
seven games. The first of the series
will be staged Friday afternoon at
$50.
In order to raise expenses for the
games, 10 and Is cents admission will
be charged for each game. This will
provide balls, ETC., for the contests.
While the two teams may not slug
the ball quite as hard as Salome Ellis,
and while the fielding may be little
less perfect than the brand showed over
by Colby, Leonard, West and Bales,
still the two teams are evenly matched
and the games will be exciting.
Here is the lineup of the two teams.
Name them to suit yourself. Call them
the Bear Cats, the Fence Busters, or
anything you may like.

A large acreage of this tract has

in n very large acreage which he has
secured and which lies from two to

thoroughly understand farming by
