and it is said by many distinguished
visitors from all sections of the state

be good indeed to excel the first one.
The weather during the two days

and Judging from the crowds that were
in attendance, one would conclude
that every man, woman and child in
the county was interested in making
its first fair a great success.

ALSO AT EDISON.

Arlington, Oct. 17-Arlington's pea
nut oilImi1l is running on full time and

( structed the past summer by the Tic
Peanut4Oil Company, corporation or

local plant is of ten ton capacity, am
ply sufficient to take care OF this sea

so constructed that it's capacity can
be more than doubled, this provision
having been made in anticipation OF
a considerable increase in the plant
ing of nuts next year and the year al
ter to supplant the loss of cotton from
the invasion of the boil weevil.
This appears distinctly practicable
industry and the one that is destined
more than any other to prove the sal

them and Of course they are feeling

HAVING A CLEAN TOWN ON
SUNDAY--MUST STOP 1T.

The sanitary inspector is on t'rals-
ing a rough house" about the trash
again. This time the fuss is not with
Cordele housewives. (But he fuses so
much with them that they have cause
to get behind the door when they see
him coming.) This bitter denuncia-
lion is against the business houses
down town where the proprietor and
employee is so energetic as to find 1t
necessary to clean up late Saturday
night and pile the refuse and waste
out in the street after the street clean
ing force has gone. This makes a
bad looking, unsightly Sunday show
for the street cleaning force and, be-
Sides helps detract from the appear

of business.
Chief Sanitary Inspector Bill

staff promised him to see to it that suf-

the warming. Now it's the offenders

in his kindly comment upon this sub
