WARS DURATION IS
NOT MUCH LONGER
BUSINESS MEN PLACING eErs
THAT PEACE WILL DAWN
IN A FEW MONTHS.

Atlanta, April 25.--For the first
time in year, bets are being placed
in Atlanta as to the duration Of the
European war, and the general trend
of betting offers is that it will not
last for many months longer.
Atlanta business men who keep a
close watch on events and who are
in touch with many sources OF infor'
nation through their New York cor
nections, are inclined to think the
war will be over by Christmas at the
very latest.
The prevailing belief in an early
peace has not discouraged recruiting
but on the contrary seems to hasten
young men to join the colors, for evi-
IDENTIFY the most of them want to get
some real fighting after they have
been drilled in the training camps.

UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY TO
BUY WESTERN BEEF CAT
TIE FOR GEORGIA
FARMERS

The A. B. & A, working in coop
Grafton with Government authorities
at Washington, is in touch with farl2-
crs in that part of Texas affected bv
the drouth, who own large numbers
OF fine type OF beef cattle, including
Herefords, Short Horns and Angus.
which must be sold at a sacrifice.
These cattle are perhaps thin, but
otherwise in good condition, and can
be purchased at from $4,000 to So
100 per head; the average price will
probably be around $500 per head.
The misfortune of the Texas stock
men offers a splendid opportunity for
Georgia farmers to replace the piney-
woods cattle with the finest type Of
beef cattle at price that anyone can
afford to pay.
The A. B. & A. is arranging to send
one OF both of its Agricultural Field
Agents, Mcssrs. w. r. Tucker, Of
Fitzgerald, and L. G. Proctor, of Tai
ladega. Ala. to Texas, to assist Geor-
gia farmers in purchasing some Of
these cattle Anyone interested should
make his plans to accompany these
men. If there are others who may
not be able to go and will place their
orders with us within the next two
weeks, and arrange through his bank
in payment for purchases made, We
shall be glad to act according to our
best Judgment in filling these orders.
MessrS. Tucker and Proctor are both
experienced men. they having made
several trips to the West, purchasing
registered stock for Georgia breeders,
and can be depended on to use good
| judgement and conservatism in filing
any orders which may be placed with
them by Georgia farmers.
The information we have come:
direct from the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture in Washington
which leads US to believe this is tht
best opportunity that has ever beer
offered for the Georgia farmers tt
start in the stock business right.
