not so far behind after all. While
the year has been on "off season" for
MIN. it has been an off season for
the other fellows, too.
In my opinion, no farmer or fruit
grower can afford to miss his county
fair. BY all means he should at
tend; it is only fair to himself and
his neighbors that he do so. Then
again, it is of almost as much i'm
portance that he attend the State
fair. Sometimes this - can not be
done on account of the distance and
Rome affairs, but in every instance
where 1t is possible, the farmer
should attend the fairs in his county
and his State. The education, to say
nothing of the entertainment. ia

more than they cost In time ana

SOUTHERN IMPROVEMENTS

Washington, Oct. 17.-Ninety-
three grade crossings of the South
ern Railways Washington-Atlanta
line have been eliminated in connec-
tion with double track work between
Orange, Va, and Central, s. C.
Thirty-eight were supplanted by
overhead bridges; 3S by underpasses
while % were removed by changes
in the route of public roads.
In all construction work the fixed
policy of the Southern is to separate
important highway crossings where
ever practicable. This policy
means large additional expense which
is undertaken as permanent in
vestment for safety.
The Southern has also cooper
ated with local authorities in the
elimination of many dangerous
crossings on others of its lines, de-
voting to this work as much as its
resources and other obligations
would permit.
