nounces that Thursday, November

| Day was inaugurated to stimulate the
production of food and feed stuffs
in Georgia and is celebrated by the
holding of public dinners in all cities
and towns of the State and this No

be simple ones, consisting of fruits,
vegetables and grains mostly, in view

the meat supply of our country.

dainty of these products, as well as
'possum, rabbit, fowl, ETC., that
would go to make up the meat course
on Georgia Products dinner.

will be means of stimulating mar
ket in that city for food grown in
