The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1915-09-21

The few hundred goats in Georgia-not the slang
goats, but enough billy goats and nanny
goats-are proving valuable that there is talk
about using them more generally as farm animals.
The goats eat weeds and other fodder that other
animals disdain, and cost little to keep. At pres
ent there are fewer goats than any other kind of
livestock in Georgia, but the goat has become more
popular of recent years. and farmers are just be-
ginning to realize their advantages.

Poland, buffeted like shuttlecock between con-
fcting storms, is entitled to the sympathy of all
and all nations. Her plains have been for

homes and farms have been devastated, and her
people pauperized. If this war shall do something
for the future of Poland it will not have been in
vain.
1t is just little over a month to the opening of
the Terrell County Fair. The success of the past
fairs in Dawson is a very good guarantee that the
coming one will be a success also The outlook this
year is much brighter than it has been be-
fore. The exhibits for the coming fair are going
to eclipse all that have been seen here.
The problem of how much the young woman who
is twenty-five years of age and five feet two inches
tall should weigh has come up for solution. The
proper weight for young can be fixed only
approximately. No young should be too
heavy to tire ones knees.
Some of the coast states are worrying over leg
