State Fair So have more than 100
other boys, but there is special story
connected with Heyward's young SOW
He was offered $100 for it today and
be turned the offer down, just like
that,
That pig, according to G. V. Cur-
bingham, assistant state agent of ex-
tension work, is months old today.
She cost young Johnson-he is just
II years old-$12.50. 1t cost SIS to
feed her to her present state of health,
amounting to 245 pounds, total ex
penditure of $3.50. You can figure

Mr.. Cunningham said Schley, the

Igia, had more pig club members than
any other. He pointed out few in

we succeeded in interesting the
people to point where we brought

distributed them among the boys he
said. Look at this one, for instancs.
He came in this little wooden box less
than two feet long and about the size
of crate of peaches. He arrived May

through this crack in the crate. He
now weighs 267 pounds. He belongs
to Marion Wall, of Ellayille.
Take look at this Hampshire She
belongs to little girl named Annie
Tatum, who lives in the backwoods of
Schley county. She is her pet. Sha
wrote me once; I love my pig andSmy
pig loves me- and she hated to part
with her long enough to send her to
the fair. She weighs 236 pounds now,
and is worth real money.
Here is Tommie Herring's pig. He
washes him every day, and the pig
has learned to come a-running, and
get in the tub, Who says hog doesn't

AGGIEs WILL PLAY
FITzGERALD ELEVEN
THEIR NEXT CONTEST
MADE SPLENDID SHOWING WITH
STRONG ALBANY TEAM-N0W
GETTING MUCH-NEEDED COACH
ING.

| Americus "Aggies,' as they are
known, representing the Third Dis
trict Agricultural college, will meet
the Fitzgerald football squad here OH
Friday of this week, and by all
lovers of the sport the game is being
anticipated with great interest.
The Aggies made fine showing IN
their contest with the strong Albany
team last Friday afternoon, holding
their opponents down to one score. 1t
was the closest game they have yet
lplayed, and was due partly to the fact
that last week they received coach
ing for the first time. They have been
without a coach all season. but Dan
Chappell is now assisting them.
Albany made her lone touchdown in
the first quarter. Albany would have
Iscored another in the last quarter but
for a penalty A fake play netted her
I30-yards and put the ball on the Ag-
gies S-yard line. from where they
pushed it over on two line plays. AL
bany kicked goal
The Aggies threatened several times
t. score. Twice they were within Q
yards of crossing Albany's goal line,
only to lose the ball on downs. In
the fourth quarter, Baney for the Ag
gies, got away on 40-yard run around
end and placed the ball on Albany's
10-yard line, where the Albany team
held for downs and the ball went
onver to Albany.
| The game was hard-fought through
! out and very rough and was witnessed
by a fair crowd The field was fast
and the weather ideal for football, and
both teams put up good exhibition.
The Aggies out-weighed the Albany
boys. Spectators were in good hui
NOR and applauded both teams on sew
era1 occasions. There was, however,
some manifestation of that old rivalry
existing between Albany and Ameri
Gus, which added spice to the playing.
On Friday, November 16, the Aggios
will play the Lanier High school tea il
from Macon, thus completing their
home schedule 1t is hoped that at !
the next two games they will receive
more public patronage.

Why DO You Worry?

o. why do you worry and why do you
fuss?
It's dollars to doughnuts that things
might be 'wuss."
Pray what in the world are you hop
ing 10 gain
When. by day and by night, You
simply complain?
A laugh is worth more than a river
of tears.
An ounce of bright hope than a ton
of dark fears;
A cheer beats a groan by a hundred
to one.
And growling's a capital habit to
shun
To double your trouble and add to
your care
Keep talking about them, yes. no
matter where.
But would you get rid of your bur-
dehs of griefP
Forget that you have them, you'll
soon find relief,
If nobody had any trouble but you,
Do you know what | think to you We
would do?
We'd encase you in glass and write
Here's a man
Ulike any other since mortals be-
gan"
If we never had storms, no rainbows
we'd see,
And a very great loss that surely
would be;
Take heart, an dtake hope, then, and
seek to live 80
That to others the right way to live
yCu may show.
