THAT when city halts for a minute

of losing much it has gained.
THAT the home city is bigger, of
greater Importance and of more vi

one man or any particular set OF
men. No men should promote the
city for what will help the pocket

THAT the qualification of personal
vanities and the furthering Of the
aims of individuals has no place in
the work of building city.
THAT in nearly every city that is

as city, should keenly be alive to

THAT some of your citizens should

Daring he past two years members
of the boys cotton clubs have clearly

pounds of lint, raised by Troup
county club member, and believed to
be the record for the entire South this
year Other yields OF 800 pounds and
upwards were made.
The highest average yield was re-
ported from in Spalding county, in
which the entire membership of the
cotton club, consisting of As boys
made bale each. Thrity-ive boys in
Fayette county made thirty-hve bales.
In a number of instances the cotton
produced by the boys was sold at auc-
ton by the county agent and from one
to three cents more per pound was re-
ceived, Publ cspirited citizens in most
cases were the buyers, and were blad
to pay premium over the market
price in the effort to boost the work.
