At time of going to press, the
atest news from the seats (not
seat, as there are many) of war
is, that Germany declared war
against England; up until Tues
day evening, it was the hope of
the civilized world that the diffi
culty might be confined to the
small countries that started the
trouble; but slumbering hatred
betweenEuropean nations aroused
and burst into action, and now
practically all of Europe is under
arms with the probability that
Japan will be drawn into the
embroilment. A number of en
gagements have occurred on sea
and land and in the air too for
France and Germany have each
over a thousand airships, aero
planes, and other air-craft fitted
with rapid-fire guns and bombs.
History never recorded a war of
the proportions, this one has al
ready assumed and the extent
is by no means yet known,

ing manner with recitations, &c.
Rev. Funkhouser, of Hancock,
and Rev. Raymond Brewer, of

entertaining addresses. Other

er was fine, everything combin
ing to make it a day not soon to
be forgotten.

Just now, I want to call especial attention to the

I have sold this Drill to the farmers of Fulton county for ten

The Steel King Wagon
One-third lighter and stronger than any other wagon built.
It has an axle that cannot be broken and is fully guaranteed,
These wagons are used on the mountain every day by C. R.
Spangler aud J. V. Mellott in their heavy lumber hauls, and
give best of satisfaction.
CORN HARVESTERS
Farmors were a little slow about taking hold of Corn Harves
ters at first, just as they were with the Reaper when it first
came out; row, farmers would as lief cut wheat with a cradle,
as corn with the old fashioned corn cutter.
ALL ORDERS FILLED PROMPTLY.

Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru
ments, and t the unskilled eye they look much alike.
The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have
lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and
in a position to make good any business transactions.
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola Irom me and if it is
not all right you can come back at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about
me. '
Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano,
or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See
me. ' Let's talk it over.

get the seasons top pnees
You know that in every season there are days
when prices go soaring just as there are others
when the bottom seems to drop out and to ship
products means less return than the freight
cost. v
How to catch the height and get from under at
the fall of the market, is a big problem with
some farmers.
Not so with the modern grower who has Bell Tele
phone Service. He gets every quotation as
soon as it's made and obtains profitable prices
for everything. '
Do you want to go along doubting or do you want
a Bell Telephone and certainty? Ask the Busi
ness Office for booklet.
