Their, loans range from $500 to $5000 at
the rate of 5 per ceqt simple interest
for a term of 10J years, to be returned
in small monthly payments like rent
or same can be paid quarterly, semi-annually
or annually. The', loans can be
paid off at any time; r thus r stopping
further interest. Many people at Spar

advantage of this splendid proposition
It would pay any citizen to 1 convert
theirrent receipts' into property of

Boy's Corn Clubs ;
Farmers ; and farmer's boys please
read this carefully: , '
The - United States government is
anxious to promote agriculture in the
South, and for this reason is encourag
ing the organization of Corn Clubs ; v
It costs nothing to belong to a club.
The government will furnish you all
the instructions free, and will send a
man here to teach you. ' The s corn is
yours wheu you make it. The profit is
allyours. , t ,
Large premiums are offered for the
largest yeald on an acre, both by the
U, S, government and the State gov
ernment, and we hope to, secure a fund
for the purpose of giving prizes for the
best yeald in this county. V
The conditions are that the boy must
be between the age of 10 and IS years,
must' do the work himjelf, must put in
exactly one acre,' must keep account
according to instructions of the cost of
production. -The ground , must, be
measured,, and the corn measured, when
gathered, by three disinterested per
sons. v;',;
hi believe that Putnam county," can
compete with any couuty in the state
in the production of corn, and t think
we aught to have 'at least one or two
boys in every district in this county to
make this trial, )
Some of you will certainly get a prize
but the prize is not the greatest thing
The lesson you will learn and the prof
it you will make will more than pay
for the trouble. ,
"Any boy who de3ixes to belong to this
club, send me your name at once. That
is all that is necessar tj do t tofecome
