WHERE THEY PROSPER
WITHOUT COTTON

Messrs. E. K. Farmer and Ma
rlon Dickson just returned from
Tennessee and Kentucky, where
they purchased herd of tho
roughbred Heresford cows for
their farms The prosperous
condition of the farmers, the fine
country homes and splendid en-
tertainne1t at the farms were as
revelation to them. On every
farm visited herds Of fine cattle
and hogs could be seen, full
blooded and with an ancestry OF
pure strain that makes them
bring fabulous prices for breeding
stock.
In conversation with Mr.. Far
mer, who already has some prize
specimen Of Heresford cattle on
his stock farm west OF the city
we learned of the marvellous de
velopment of the Blue Grass sec
ton Of Kentucky, where stock
raising is the principal industry
Though the winters are long, and
every COW has to be stalled in
close quarters during the cold
weather and the entire supply OF
winter feed stored away, an ex-
pense which farmers in our own
section would save, these farmers
are getting rich from selling cat
tie and hogs by the train loads
Down here, where cover crops
could be provided for grassing
the year around, the industry
could be much more profitable
than in the sections where hous-
ing and feeding during the winter
IS so expensive a problem. With
the boil weevil on hand our farm
ers must turn to something else
tor a money crop and cattle and
hogs, blooded stock, is the most
profitable crop that we can turn
to.
1--WE bought % thoroughbred
cows and they will arrive here
next week." Mr.. Farmer said
Among other fine stock that
was shown us in Kentucky, right
on the farm, was one male Here's
ford which sold for So, 400, and
another that was priced at ST.
500.

TOWNSVILLE WILL HAVE
LARGE" DAY FRIDAY,
NOVEMBER 3RD

Hon. Roscoe Luke, chairman
OF the Barbecue committee for
the Thomas County Fair, who
was recently elected Judge of the
court of appeals OF Georgia, de
slrcs to state to the great general
populace OF South Georgia, East
ern Alabama and Northern Flor
ida, that the meat has been got"
for the Big Free Barbecue, to be
given the third day OF the Fair
at Thomasville, November 3.
AS the official host, Judge Like
invites everybody to come And
get piece of barbecue. He guar
antees that everyone will g9t his
slice of meat. He does not(guar-
antee, however, to feed those who
come and those who stay at home,
too. He just will feed tn se who
come.
"Howsomever," SAYS Judge
Luke, with $4,000 pounds Of
dressed meat, we shoh ld be able
to feed this section Of the world,
still we'll be proud to feed some
other sections if hey come, so
tell them all to be here, both great
and S mall men, women and chill
dren. Colored folks will please
stand aside and let the white folks
get sol ething to fat.."
The Invitation Is very broad
one and includes all citizens of
every seStion of t he southeast, re-
CARELESS Of their Nationality, creed
or previous state of servitude,
just SO they are white.
Judge LII Ike So US that even rail
road men, newspaper men and
preachers will pc allowed. That
should be sufficient to give the
hint to everybody that they are
welcome. If it is not, the Bar
becue Committee can do no more.
The jig's up and the Barbecue
will be eaten by some one else.
Thomasville is preparing for
an enormous crowd on this occa-
sion. Last year over 10000 peo-
pie attended and some of the big
city dailies wasted much money
calling their local correspondents
to find out if four thousand was
not meant instead of ten times
that number. The affair will be
conducted in ''jam-up" style and
every precaution is being taken
to guard against any one going

SPARKS SHOWS IN
THIS CITY ),
TODAY

Sparks shows, a much larger
and greatly improved aggregation
of circus attractions than hasAyet
been here under this name, e in,
Fitzgerald today for two perform
ances, one taking place this after
noon and the other scheduled for
tonight.
A long street parade took place
this morning, making fine show
ing for the outfit, and the per-
Torrance this afternoon, attended
by crowd which packed the big
tent, was up to a high notch for
circus performances. The special
feature acts included the COM
pany of trained lions, a herd of
trained seals, boths acts being
unusually strong. And another
especially thrilling portion Of the
program was Hilda Longs loop
the loop on his head. In this the
performer rode on roller skates
fastened to his head, and he shot
down the long, steep incline with
terrific velocity, through the loop
and over the gap to the landing
platform standing on his head all
the way through, making his
number one of the real thri1lers
Of the circus world.
The Sparks Shows are now
first-class attraction and carry
complete menagerie, besides
trainload of special performers.
The aggregation reached Fitzger-
aid this morning and began the
erection of their mammoth tents
at once.
A tremendous crowd assembled
in Fitzgerald from all over the
county and spent the day here
attending the circus in the after
noon and enjoying a day Of pleas
TIRE around the big amusement
center made by this circus.
Sparks shows this time are
well above the average, and the
performance this afternoon made
it certain that a great crowd will
attend tonight. The trained ami
mails are worth seeing if nothing
else, as they are a show in thSM-
selves. The many daredevil acts
and high-class trapeze and wire
walking acts make up a circus
of real merit that will entertain
any one.
