ORGANIZE COMMUNITY
CLUBS IN TERRELL
WRITES PROMINENT DAWSON
FARMER-CANNING FACTO-
RY MAY BE ESTABLISHED.

Editor News: Having spent my en-
tire time and energy for the last sew
eral years in farming in a county
where we have no organizations that
are helpful to farmers, / feel that l
can heartily endorse the recent arti-
Gle by our county demonstrator on
the value of community clubs in an
economic way. We all realize that
the old system of farming will have
to be done away with and the prod
ucts that have hitherto been side is
sues, must be marketed for money
crops instead of so much cotton as
formerly. To command the best
prices, these products will have to be
shipped in carload lots or at least in
larger quantities than one farm can
usually supply. We can not even be
considered an issue in the agricul-
tural world unless we organize and
stand together An isolated farmer
can study conditions and plans, but
he can do nothing in way to build
up his own and his county's interest
without the cooperation of his neigh
Dor.
Just at this period central firm
with headquarters in Atlanta is Of
fering to place canning factories
wherever the farmers will agree to
plant enough truck to furnish the
plant with work This requires no
outlay of money on our part, but in
sures cash payment for fruits and
vegetables raised by Us. We are not
in a position to take advantage of
this offer because we have no con-
certed plan of action.
1t is not too late 10 get together
and show that cooperation is a prac-
teal workable possibility here as in
other counties.
We have number of men in our
midst with the necessary ability and
enthusiasm. All we need is for
some one to take the initiative.

GEORGIA DAY IS
OBSERVED BY SCHOOL
STAGE DECORATED WITH GEOR.
CIA PRODUCTS - EVERY
NUMBER ENJOYED.

Those who failed to see the Geor-
gia day program given by the Gram
mar Grades of the local schools
Monday morning at 1880 missed a
rare treat. Every number was new
and was as bright and enjoyable as
could be. All of the numbers were
well rendered, but no one could help
enjoying Georgia in Pantomime.'
Ty Cobb was introduced as the great
est athlete, then came the " 'POssum
Hunt" and "Uncle Remus and the
Little Boy" These were acted very
naturally and tended to carry the au-
dience back to childhood days. The
'possum and the dog acted their parts
as though the stage was nothing new
to them.
The program no doubt owed much
of it's success to the decorations,
which were most unique. Only Geor7
gia flags and Georgia products were
used as stage decorations. On the
stage one could see cotton, corn, pea
nuts, velvet beans, pecans, sugar
cane, apples, oranges, tobacco, rice,
watermelons, pumpkins, hay, pop
corn, oats, syrup, canned fruits, and
in fact nearly every product grown
in our great state. The exhibit was
in itself educational and it is safe to
say that the stage never looked pref
tier. This feature received much ia
vorable comment from all sides.
Another interesting feature of the
program was the raising of the
United States flag, which was given
the school by the Stonecastle Chap
ter, D. A. r. The ceremonies were
very impressive and took place in
front of the main muilding At the
conclusion of the exercises the super
intendent delighted the children by
declaring a half-holiday.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather. a fair sized audience wit
messed the program.

Little Locals.

The Dawson merchants are re-
celving their spring goods, and will
let the public know what they have
through the columns of The News.
As usual, Dawson will be the place
for the particular and economical
buyer to do his or her trading.
Mr.. Grady Brim, who has been
at home on visit from Washington,
Ga, said that big acreage of cot
ton will be planted in Wilkes coun
ty. The farmers hope to make their
last crop in advance of the boil wee
vii.
The running of the city clock
is a novelty. Yet, the correct
time would be appreciated, especially
by our country friends who do their
trading in Dawson. What's the mat
ter, Mr.. Commissioners?
Opinion as to the fate of the
grain crop is pretty evenly divided.
Some think all was killed, while the
estimates of others vary from 10 to
SO per cent. One farmer SAYS the
freeze cost him $4,000.
The scarcity of material as well as
the buying early of the farmer is
clearly indicated by two of the most
popular fertilizer statesmen in Daw-
son closing their active selling cam
paign.
The many friends of Mr.. H. W.
Pittman, who is very pleasantly re
membered here, will regret to learn
OF his serious illness in Macon.
Many complaints are being raised
throughout the county over the con-
ditions of some of the roads and
bridges, while others are always kept
IN first-class condition.
The Dawson ministers are plan
ming for their spring revivals. The
three churches of the city have active
and much beloved pastors.
Bonds for paving and the extern
sion of the water mains would hard
ly develop opposition, for everyone
realizes the need of them.
What am going to plant where
my oats were killed." is a question of
much interest throughout this entire
section.
The bad weather seems to know
when Monday comes-the last three
of them being very disagreeable.
