War saving stamps drive, prices, and shortages mark headlines. Georgia residents urged to buy stamps, wheat mills gain flour shipments, and liquor prices noted in Montgomery. Calls for support, farm work updates, and voter activity blend with local losses from storms and a preacher’s warning about beef bans.
A Louisville era newspaper argues the county stock law poses risks and urges residents to vote next Wednesday. It highlights town detriments, lost cattle grazing, and reduced school funds while urging local support for free-range cattle to keep money in the county.
The writer argues that banning grazing forces taxpayers to spend 120 dollars per person on cow feed, reducing funds available for War Savings Stamps and increasing future tax rates. They warn county, city, and state tax returns will be lower when January arrives due to money already spent.
A Mineral Bluff reader rails against stock law changes and cattle rights, warns of hardship on families, and cites timber interests. The letter laments low turnout for a coming primary, notes apathy, and hints at graft in war contracts as a wider concern.
An 1880s style ad asserts Hall's Catarrh Cure can cure catarrh by acting on blood and mucous surfaces with a $100 reward for any case not cured. It promotes internal use and cites testimonials and Hall's Pills. The text shifts to 1917 mica price trends in the South noting higher prices for small sizes and unchanged large sizes, urging locals in Lumpkin County to reveal mica deposits, then mentions U.S. Senators opposing draft age reduction below 21.
