Gordon County Fair f!

You are cordially invited to attend
the eleventh Annual County Fair at
Calhoun, Ca, Oct. 10th to 23d, inclus-
i've. See the variety and quality of
crops grown in this section, section
that has natural lime and potash in the
soil (see government report on same)
and considered too far north for the
boil weeyil,. now in Georgia, to ever
affect This makes it very attractive
on account of the boil weevil reported
in south and middle Georgia, and the
high priced fertilizer, as cotton
growing section; also it is naturally
adapted to grains, grasses and stock
raising.
To quote w. P. Stewart, who moved
from Pickens G. H. and bought farm
some two years ago: Zone can learn
more in one day at the fair as to what
this county grows in the way of farm
products than he could in any other way
in months time

FARMS FOR SALE F.!

You have no doubt heard good deal
about this section of Georgia, as many
from Pickens county have bought farms
here in the past few years. You owe it
to yourselves and family to take look
at this country where level farm lands
that are naturally much more fertile
than your lands and can be bought for
the same and less per acre than your
hillside lands. This county is not all
level by any means. We have hills and
mountains, and / am glad we have, for
they mean good cold water and assured
health. We are also far enough north
not to be affected by the much dreaded
boil weevil. Our farmers aus a. whole
are fully ten years behind Pickens
county farmers in their method of farm
ing (anyone living here from Pickens
county will verify this statement), is
the only reason our farm lands are not
selling for double what they are today.
| have most any kind or size farm you
might want, and would be glad to show
you some extra bargains. tied up before
the advance in cotton. | have cut a
large farm into small tracts that | am
selling on extra easy terms. These
farms are extra well located

ANNOYING LETTERS.
Dear Miss Ldbbey:

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a woman of twenty eight, e1a- ployed by 9, widely-known. concern as a clerk. For the last year have been cruelty persecuted by receiving anony- nous letters from some unknown per son who signs initials only. Each communication contains what might be very ordinary reading at the casual glance through it, but reading between the lines, the wording might be con strued into quite 8, different meaning. What shall do? I am so worried
 MISS A. c. N
 There is a very severe penalty at ache to sending objectionable matter of this kind through the mails. If noti- fled the postal authorities at Washing ton take the matter up with alacrity. Secret Service men soon rum down the miscreants. Imprisonment for a term of years is the penalty.

Big Canal Will Earn
 Enough First Year
 To Pay Its Expenses

Panama, June Tine Panama Ca nal will have earned in the first year of it's operation sufficient to pay all it's running expenses and probably leave a, small surplus, according to the figures now being compiled in the of flee of the canal auditor. The loss now is about five per cent. as against 20 per cent. at the end of February. The deficit of about 20 per cent. in cured during the first eight months of the waterways operation has been nearly eliminated and will be com pletely by June 30 when the first year of operation will end.
 Nearly every month of the last nine have shown an increase in the tolls earnings. Tolls for April, however, were slightly lower than those for March, which were record. It is declared the tolls for May will equal if not exceed those for March.

GEORGE FITCH WRITES
 Ho4la5A MESA LOVE STORY

In the May American Magazine George Fitch, the famous Illinois hu- morous writer, begins a new two-part story entitled. Cupid vs. Geography "a humorously alarming prophecy. It is a9lIqYe st9TYea4nds this is the way he introduces it:
 "Once more my biennial feeling that I should write a love story is be- coming too strong co resist I am beginning to believe again that in re- training from romance as a. theme I am shirking my duty. billion love stories are being enacted into maErf- mony during each generation, and! the task of, reporting them should be shared by all.
 4'eWho am I that I should sit hap pily by. writing of sports and politics. moons, green cheese and automobiles, while a, thousand panting authors are emerging from the honeyed rnorasses of the last happy chapters of a love tale, only to breathe heavily and be- gin dogged1y on another collection oE saccharine words?
 ''Yet always fight against the call of duty. It is not because I feel the writing of love stories to be an un- manly sort of business, for 1t isn't.
 There's a man mixed up in every love story. But don't like to write the soft, adhesive parts of the romance.
 They embarass me and, besides, am
 an old codger of nearly forty and I don't know how the young people Of this land do their Iove-making in these l innovations days.
 ssI am helpless before the rush Of
 time which has changed our customs in the last decade until we have to look at the morning bulletin to find out what is still improper or uncon- ventional I have tried for a year to spy upon a proposal in order to get
 material I have failed. The old haunts are all abandoned. There are no more par1ors. Conservatories are
 as rare as the dodo. F1aring arc lamps put the moonlight out of busi-
 ness Only the hired help lean upon garden gates

OFFICERS ARE SAVED FROM BLEEDING TO
 DEATH BY SOLDIERS

London, June 1.-Leutenafnt He'll yer of the 4th East Yorks teEritorials, who is now in a hospital at Boulogne, owes his life to the devotion of his men in the ranks, who kept him from bleeding to death by taking turns in holding an artery. The officers left arm was blown off by a. shell and his right arm badly injured. The main artery of the severed arm was expos ed. But one of his men pinched it with his fingers. When the mans hand tired, another took his place in holding the artery. $ No surgical aid was available, and for three days Lieut.. HeIIyer lay in the bottom of the trench, with only this primitive aid from his soldiers between him and death.
