Mr.. DAVE SMITH.

One of the most loyal and enter
prising citizens of Graves Station is
a man who has recently foved into
this community, Mr.. Dave A. Smith.
Four years ago Mr.. Smith came into
this section from the northern part
of the state and began farming. The
first year, with comparatively few
acres under cultivation. During the
hard year of 1914, when agricultural
and financial conditions meant g
struggle for everyone, he almost dc
cided to give up and go back to his
old home up state;" however, his
perseverance was rewarded the next
year and the next.
This season Mr.. Smith is farming
two thousand acres of land. At har-
vest time his wheat fields, which
yielded him nine hundred bushels of
wheat, were visited by many admir-
ing friends, and photographed for
magazines and newspaper articles.

years ago.
LanVin Is Slavic.
There have been so many things in
common between Paul Poiret and
Jeanne Lanvin for so many years that
some dressmakers have insisted that
they are related or that the houses
are commercially connected. The per-
sOnaIities of these two designers in
France are as different as can be, even
beyond the fact that one is a woman
and one is a man.
Therefore it is not surprising that
while Poiret clings to the sumptuOus
effects of an exotic past, Lanvin also
continues to hammer upon the anvil
of Slavic and Russian fashions.
She has gone to Serbia and ROu-
mania for inspiration and probably
draws a color, a line or a suggestion
from the CosSacks of central Russia
In direct contrast to these short, bril-
liant Slavic clothes, she has put out
a most dignified evening gown. The
skirt is quite long, but without train
and the belt is nearly over the hip
line. The top part of the skirt has
the tightness of the days of the Renais-
sance, and Judging by the many things

Mr.. j. M. Ferguson, attracted by
the possibilities in the fine soil of Ter

thirty years ago and purchased land
at four dollars an acre.
Thrift and progressiveness were his
slogans and today he is one of the
most successful farmers, interested
always in the growth and develop

Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Will

farming lands and started a record

year.
In those first years he devoted his
time and planning, almost exclusive
ly to the production of cotton. He
soon established gin, which has ever
since that day carried on a heavy
business. This year Mr.. Davidson's

That is the leading question among the

We know that the styles for the

Poiret is always important; there
fore, what he shows is of interest. To
begin with, he features the waistline
which is dropped below the normal,
in the Oriental manner. There is very
little that would ever appeal to Poiret
in the first and second empire fash

he does. He has genius for fabrics.

Graves Station, which is four miles
west of Dawson, on the Central of
Georgia railroad, is one of the most
progressive as we'll as one of the old
est settlements in Terrell county.
MANY years ago, before the South
western railroad now the Central of
Georgia. was built, when Cuthbert
was the nearest postofice and Ter
rell county was not in existence, Mr..
Tverson L. Graves, of Newton coun-
ty. purchased land here from his
brothers, Solomon and William B.
Graves, and built an overseer's house
and negro quarters in the grove now
owned by Mr.. B. M. Davidson.
Mr. Graves gave the right of way
for the new railroad through his
place and he was given a wood and
water station, at Wakikee creek,
which was named for him, Graves
Station"
Later he built the home now own
ed by W. d. Davidson and sent his
son, DR.. Iverson Dritton Graves, here
to look after his business. DR.. Graves
was the most influential and best
loved citizen Graves Station has ever
had He had its development always
at heart, and its present growth and
culture are largely due to his judici-
Gus planning, his choice of laudable
ends, and the best means of accom-
plishing them.
1t is interesting to know that dur
ing those early years real estate in
Graves Station sold for four or four
and half dollars per acre. Now,
the same land brings from fifty to
a hundred dollars and is wonderful
ly productive.
Someone has said that whatever
a nation wants in its community life
it must put into its schools. Graves
has endeavored to give her young
citizens the very best educational adj
vantages possible.
Fifteen years ago the school was
only one-room building with one
teacher. Today the citizens can boast
of as fine school as any in the coun-
ty. 1t is large two-story brick build
ing and has five teachers.
Among the first settlers of the
place We're Mr.. Jim Chambliss, Mr..
j. M. Smith, Mr.. A. W. Breedlove,
Mr.. Harris Melton and Mr.. Thomas
Burge. A little later a number of
families from Stewart county NOV
ed into this section, bought up farm
ing lands and began farming on an
intensive plan.

that Lanvin is doing, as well as other
French dressmakers, it looks as though
the loose blouse in any form will soon
belong to day that is done.
This is not startling news to the
American woman. because the smartly
dressed young women have been
adopting the tight bodice and the long,
tight sleeves in their summer clothes,
even making them of gingham and
especially of jersey cloth.
Lanvin also exploits the large waist
coat in various materials, to be worn
under coat suit and to serve as a
blouse or jerkin when the coat is re-
moved.
The hats she produces with these
gowns are often small Of brim. She
clings to the Russian effect, but she
has introduced a small edition of the

Although several of the leading
French designers have contributed to
the demand for conservation of ma

continues to use these appendages to
evening gowns. One would feel that
Worth was not himself if ne abolished
rhinestones or trains, and it makes
one feel quite safe that he has not
