Avinger F. F. A.
Boys Winners
Excellent sportsmanship was
shown during all the games played
by the Future Farmers at a tour,
nament held at Hooks. It is not
winning the game that counts the
most but how it is won. When the
games are won £air we are building
the best of character for the boys
for the future lives.
Avinger succeeded in marching
on to victory over all competition.
Winning the final game over the
Hughes Springs team with a score
of 33 to 13. A beautiful loving cup
was given to the winning team, al-
so one to the consolation winner.
Mr. Stuteville of Hooks deserves
credit for the success of the meet-
ing with the following teams from
four cobnties entered:
Avinger, Marietta, Maud, Doug-
lassville, Red Water, Bloomburg,
Queen City, Linden, Hooks, Na-
ples, Jefferson, New Boston,
Hughes Springs and Atlanta.
The scores were as follows:
Marietta forfeited to Maud; Red
Water 36, Douglassville 8; Queen
City 20, Bloomburg 17; Hooks 20,
Linden 10; Naples forfeited to Mc-
Leod; Jefferson forfeited to New
Boston; Hughes Springs 41, At-
lanta 30; Avinger 38, Maud 10;
Red Water 31, Queen City 16;
Hooks 28, McLeod 25; Hughes
Springs 24, New Boston 16; Doug-
lassville forfeited to Marietta;

son forfeited to Naples.
Semi-final: Avinger 38, Red Wa-
ter 27; Hughes Springs 23, Hooks
11; Douglassville forfeited to
Bloomburg; Atlanta 30, Naples 28.
Consolation final: Bloomburg 19,
Atlanta 18.
I did not attend all of the games
and I could not give details of each
individual game. I know that the
games that I saw were excellent
and conducted in a sportsmanship
manner.
The March meeting of this group
will be held Mar. 18 and will be
used' for Leadership Contests and
will be held at Hughes Springs.
Mr. Jones will have charge of the
meeting and the contests will begin
promptly at 6 o'clock.

IT IS DANGEROUS
It is dangerous to sell a SUBSTI-
TUTE for 666 just to make three
or four cents more. Customers are
your best assets; lose them and
you lose your business. 666 is
worth three or four times as much
as a SUBSTITUTE.

SPECIAL NOTICE
to Delinquent Taxpayers
Delinquent Tax Statements are now being prepared and mailed
to Delinquent Taxpayers. The prompt payment of your Delin-
quent Taxes NOW will save added costs in interest and penal-
ties. The council during the past year has been most lenient. The
time is now at hand when delinquent taxes must be paid. It is
not fair to those who have promptly paid their taxes through the
previous years. Interest and penalties will be collected on all
Delinquent Taxes.
D. P. McALPINE, Special Delinquent Tax Collector

gree. Only by making complete use, at all times of our
