New Years Resolutions

To endeavor to speak the truth in
every instance, to give nobody ex-
pectations that are not likely to be
answered, but aim at sincerity in ev-
cry word and action; the most ami
able excellence in a rational being.
To apply myself industriously to
whatever business | take in hand,
and not divert my mind from my
business by any foolish project OF
growing suddenly rich for industry
and patience are the surest means OF
plenty.
l resolve to speak i'll of no man
whatever, not even in matter OF
truth; but rather by some means ex-
cuse the fault l hear charged upon
others, and upon proper occasions,
speak all the good l know of every
body.

SEC. CLARKE ISSUES
AN APPEAL TO THE
CITIZENS OF BEN HILL

Secretary Clarke has issued the
following earnest appeal to the citi-
zens of Fitzgerald and Ben Hill
county:
II am sure the citizens of Fitzger-
aid and Ben Hill county want the
Seeing Georgia Tour to be as great
success as all of the other recent
undertakings OF Fitzgerald. We COW
cred ourselves with glory and honor
in the Fourth Of July celebration and
exceeded all other cities in the state
who attempted similar celebration.
Il want us to surpass in magnitude,
every other automobile tour which
has been run on the roads of Georgia.
We can do tive must do tive will
do it!
"Thc largest automobile tour
which has SO far been run in Gcor-
gia had thirty-seven cars in the tour
Our tour MUST HAVE not less than
fifty cars in line. The largest num-
Der of towns touched by any previous
tour was fifty-four and we are sche-
duled to pass through sixty, the most
mileage covered by any tour up to
date i'll Georgia was 400 miles and our
tour covers the mileage of 600 miles.
1T will be an easy matter for the
citizens of Ben Hill county to stand
by the Chamber of Commerce and en-
ter fifty cars in the tour and | believe
the patriotism OF the community will
again rally to the Chamber of Com
merce and make the tour the most
successful of any which has ever trav-
elcd the roads of Georgia"

The regular quarterly open house
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
will be held Friday night at $50 at
the Courthouse. The Chamber OF
Commerce invites to every quarterly
open house meeting any citizen Of the
community, man or woman, whether
members OF the Chamber of Com
merce or not, and the importance of
the meeting Friday night ought to
draw a large attendance, not only Of
the members, but of citizens of the
community.
The officials OF the Chamber OF
Commerce have arranged for an at
tractive program of music to open
the meeting. A committee composed
of w. A. Adams and S. G. Pryor
whose duty it was to select the place
of meeting, have acted wisely in Sc
Letting the Courthouse because if any
organization in Ben Hill county is en-
titled to use the Courthouse at this
time it is the Chamber of Commerce
which is working in the interest of
every citizen of the entire community
Among the important matters
which will come up at the meeting
will be the following. First, report
of the Secretary showing work done
for the past three months by the
Chamber of Commerce and also a
financial statement showing all money
received by the Chamber of Com
merce and how same has been dis
bursed

GERMANS BEGIN
SAVAGE ASSAULTS
SOUTH Of MARINE
American And Allied
Aviators Rake Teutdn
Columns Fiercely .......

(By International News Service.)
Paris, July OhiciaD-Throw-
ing forward fresh forces of reserves
the Germans began another series of
savage assaults south of the Marine
last night. Violent attacks were made
against the heights north of Stag
nau and Lachappelle villages, which
had been recaptured by the French
and Americans yesterday. At one
point the French line was penetrated
short distance. Violent fighting is
still raging there.
The hardest fighting last night cen
tered at point south OF the Marine
and between Marine and Rheims. In
the Champagne region east of Rheims
the Germans delivered local thrusts
around Prunoy but all were repulsed
after bitter struggles.
Courlon wood was the scene of d
severe struggle last night, the Ger
mans trying to press the Allies back
toward the forest that covers the
Rheims plateau. The Germans tllrusts
were met everywhere by counter at
'acks equally as savage, with Allied
and American aviators flying low over
the Teutons, dropping bombs and
hailing machine gun bullets into the
Boche ranks with fearful effect.

entry in the tour after Friday as it is
absolutely necessary for the commit
tee in charge to know how many cars
are to be in the tour in order that
the necessary hotel accommodation
can be arranged.
Third, final decision will be made
iii regard to the proposed Merchants
Week for Fitzgerald August 5th to
10Th. Every merchant in the city
should be on hand to express his
views in regard to the matter as the

tend to undertake the pulling off of a
Merchants week unless the merchants
are in hearty accord with the propo-
sition.
Fourth, the Secretary will announce
preliminary plans for the monster
Live Stock Show to be held in. Fitz-
gerald this fall. 1t is expected that
this undertaking will eclipse every
thing launched by the Chamber of
Commerce this year, and that during
its operation it will bring more peo-
pie to Fitzgerald than any single
event has ever brought to South
Georgia city.
President Ludlow l.. Griner will
preside at the meeting and he urges
full enhance of the citizens of Fitz-
ycrald and, also, extends hearty in
vitation to the farmers of the county

Paris, July l6.-After the outburst
of fighting late Monday, marked by
extreme violence, the intensity of the
struggle in the Champagne region is
slowing down says the war office to-
day.
Savage fighting took place south of
THE Marine river late Monday, the
French and Americans resisting the
German shocks valorously, making
several counter attacks with good re-
suits.
South OF the Marine the Germans
were unable to advance beyond Stage
men, LaChappelle, Monthodon and
the southern fringe of Bouqusigney
forest. The district around Chalons-
Marine, between the Marine river and
Rheims was the scene of a furious
struggle, the Germans making repeat
ed attacks The French and Ameri-
cans have captured many prisoners.
In the battle area between Rheims
and the Marine river the Germans des-
perately tried to penetrate the French
defense zone. Reports at noon de-
clare the German drive is completely
shattered east of Rheims. The enc

A HOG STORY.

Most everybody has heard of fish
stories and snake stories, but here is
hog story as related by the Rogers
Democrat last week which will rank
with any of the before mentioned
stories:
In the spring of 1916 Willis Miller
bought Poland China SOW with 8
pigs about one month old. That same
year she raised another litter of 8
pigs and those l6 at eight months old
were sold for market at $35 each, a
total of $3.50 In the spring of 1917.
the same sow had ten pigs. He sold
at seven months old for $50 each,
and kept the other six for brood sows
on the farm and they are now worth
at least $35 each, total for this lit
ter of $3.50. Last fall, the sow had
eight more pigs and was herself sold
for $35. If at eight months, the
eight pigs do as well as the others
and bring $35 each, the two 1917 lit
tiers would be worth 1910 A total
for one sow for two years of $l,l70
If you can beat that, let US hear from
you for we claim that is some record
and the SOW that betters it is entitled
to have her name enrolled in the hall
of fame
