notable stride forward Already the residences Of the city

Of Of the best obnabe anywhere in Georgia
The residence lights are thoroughly satisfactory
The street lights Of which there be about twenty
five at first are now being installed These lights will do-

excellent illumination placing it probably above almost any

Of Leesbug are fast gaining that civic spirit that means ire

The city administration is to be congratulated the

NOwis the time to Begin.

If Les county is to have a farm
demonstration agent next year It Is
time now to begin the work toward
that end. 1t is not well to delay.
Nothing is to be gained by putting
the matter off till the end OF the
year.
As the year draws to a close the
pulse OF business beats stronger.
Then there is less time for making
up a subscription for farm demon
stration work than there is now,
This is the time when the farmers
are getting ready for their harvest.
1t is a time of optimism and good
cheer. Is there better time for raj
sing a fund OF this kind than now?
We believe that there is not. We
believe that now is the time to get
busy with farm demonstration work
for next year. Start in time and
make the most of the work, il it is
to be continued. And every public
spirited and progressive farmer in
Lee county wishes this work not
only to be continued but to be am
plifed next year. Win the farmers
of the county begin the work them
selves? It is chiefly for their benefit
that the work is done. Win they
not voluntarily start subscription
list to make up the fund?
If the farmers Of Lee county viii
manifest personal and active in
tsrebt in this matter, the fund can
be made up within short time.
But there is not very much hope
for the success of the movement,
it is feared, unless the farmers vol
unteer to take the lead in it.
What farmer in Lee county will
volunteer to start the work? There
should be at least one farmer in
charge Of the subscription collec-
ton in each district. With active
workers enrolled, the fund can soon
be made up. Where are the men
who will take the lead2 The Jour
nal would like to have some express
.ions Of opinions from the farmers
Of the county relative to farm de-
monstration work, We will be glad
to hear from you, SO express your
opinions.
