Rise In Cotton Great
Help To Farmers

ATLANTA, Sept. 5th-The great
Improvements which has come in the
cotton market recentlp threatens to
cause manp farmers to lose sight of
their judicious decisions to diversity
crops to a greater extent in the fu-
ture, according to information the
correspondent of this news service
gathers from versions he believes to
be well informed.
Business men here express the hope
that that the cotton price will remain
at level which will afford the farm
er at all times a fair return on his
investment and fair pay for his work.
and there is every reason to believe,
say agricultural experts here, that
this will be the case with the coming
crop.
However it will be unwise for the
farmers to forget their resolutions to
grow things other than cotton because
this step would bring a return of CON
ditions which have served to troubA
all of US too often" said an official OF
the State agricultural department.
"Grow cotton" continued the Off
cial, "but be sure to grow other things
i n the right proportion, seeing to it
that no farm is dependent upon a sing
lie crop" FVTGHC

IN MEMORY OF S. H. DEEs

In the passing away of S. H. Dees
it may be we'll said that a good man
has gone from our midst.
He was born July 10Th, 1873 and
departed this life July Il, 1921. !,
He was devoted husband kind
and loving father and more dutiful
son l have never known.
He showed his father the greatest
respect and reverence. He was also
scrdpulously honest. His integrity was
not to be questioned
He was a good neighbor and will
be missed by all who knew him.
l have only known him since
moved to South Georgia nearly seven
years ago and I will never forget
how he welcomed me and my family
into his home until our furniture ar
rived and he was so hospitable and
made us feel welcome.
No one ever came within his gate
near meal time that he did not invite
them into his house and ask them to
partake of the meal
He really was too generous for his
own Hpod.
We feel that we would have loved
to have kept him with US, but it may
be selfish of us, for we. trust that
he has been transplanted to higher
plane there to learn more of the glor-
les of cd and express more perfect
ly His nature.
May Gods tender mercies and con-
soling word abide with the bereaved
ones is the prayer of one who loved
him like a brother

Trumpet Island"
A Spectacular Photoplay Made BY
Vitagraph From The Story BY
Governor Morris

Director Tom ferris evidently set
out to make something that never
was made before when he started the
work on Trumpet Island" the Vita
graph production of Governeur Nor
ris' Janus story to be shown at the
GAND THEATRE Thursday next.
1t surely is different-and it is
about as chock full of thrills and &C
ton as any picture could be.
Trumpet Island" puts you in mind
of cracker-ja jack serial boiled down
into feature production of seven
reels. 1t has glimpse of convent
life, OF society. OF high life' revels,
jazzy parties, wedding, airplane
stunts-and then a fast and. furious
trip through the air made by the bride
and the unwanted bridegroom, caught
in a severe electrical storm and dash
>ed below when the airplane is struck
by lightning.
Immediately the action changes to
passionate scenes on a deserted Island
where the heroine was anded and
where her sweetheart has been spend
my his time in the hope of regaining
his manhood. But that's not all. For
there follows several more thrills be-
fore the story ends.
The leading lady of the cast is Mar
garet De La Motto. The hero is Wal
lace Mcdonald. Others in the cast
are Arthur Hoyt, Hallan Cooley and
Joseph Swickward. Those who en-
JOY thrills and fast action will like this
picture.
