pie of Georgia to observe Georgia Prod

by joining in dinners of Georgia prod
urts, and, by means of exhibits, parades
or other inspiing features to stir the
people to need of upbuilding the state
by raising their own foodstuffs, and
keeping at home the millions annually
sent to other sections for products that
can be raised as we'll, or better, in
Georgia. The governors proclamation
is peculiarly appropriate at this time
when all authorities agree that much
higher prices for food products will
prevail during the next two or three
years, on account of the European war
The proclamation is as follows:
Whereas, Nature has shown that it
is possible to raise in Georgia a suffi-
cient variety and quantity of staple
articles of food necessary for the sub
sistence of our people; and,
Whereas, Nature has shown. that it
is possible to raise in Georgia a suffi-
cient variety and quantity of staple ar
ticles of food necessary for the sub
sistence Of our people; and,
Whereas, 1t is a most worthy OBJ
ject to bring knowledge of this fact
to the attention of the people in order
that the raising of food products in our
state in larger quantities may be en-
couraged in every way and by all our
citizens; and,
Whereas, For the last two years the
Day of November has been
known as a day for Georgia Products
Dinners, and has been so celebrated
by great number of public gatherings
in many parts of our state; and,
Whereas, The farmers of the state
rave bee1. invited to exhibit their prod
ucts at the Capital City of Atlanta, on
18th, 1915, the purpose OF
the invitation being to further encour-
age the growing and marketing of food
crops; and,
Whereas, 1t is of the deepest con-
Germ for the welfare of our state to ea-
these and all other movements
V hich tend to make the people of
Georgia independent in their supply
CT food products;
Now, Therefore, l, Nat E. Harris,
governor of Georgia, by request of sun
dry citizens of our state. do hereby
designate November 18th, 1915, as
Georgia Products Day." and urge all
cur people to join together in Georgia
Products dinners, exhibits, paradas
and all we'll intended enterprises of
such character, for the upbuildirg of

TOWN ELECTION TICKETS
Only Slight Changes From the Caucus
Nominations

There have been fewer changes
than usual In the making out of the
ballots for the coming town election
to be held a week from next Tuesday.
Ordinarily there are few nominees
of the caucuses who refuse to permit
their names to so on the ballot but
this year there are only three.
William J. Meagher has withdrawn
his name from the justice ticket nom
mated at the republican caucus and
the vacancy has been filled with the
name of Homer II. Webster J. DIV
er Burt, another of the four nominees.
withdrew his name for the reason that
he is the nominee of the republican
party for selectman.
Joseph McDermott, who WAS nomin-
ated for town clerk by the democratic
caucus, has withdrawn and the vac.
ancy has not been filed.
Little books of stickers with the
name of Frederick Godfrey are in cir
culation about town for the evident
purpose of being used to secure the
