He was a successful farmer and ac
cumulated considerable property be

years to give up agricultural pursuits.
He was a veteran of the Civil War
and made a wonderful record as a
soldier. He recently attended the
Veteran’s reunion at Darlington, but
' had not been feeling in his usual
" good health gince his return. Mr.
Blackmon leaves surviving a large
. and influential family of children—
Mrs. J. C. Crenshaw, Mrs. R. L. Orr
"and Mrs. W. J. Sims, of the county;
George F. Blackmon, of Greensboro,
N. C.; Oliver C. Blackmon, of Lan

SPLENDID PRICES PREVAIL FOR
THOSE OFFERED FOR TODAY.
More than enough for a car of
poultry will go into the cooperative
sale here tomorrow, according to in
dications in today’s developments.
The Wilcox county growers have ful
ly 2,600 pounds. These have been
brought into Rochelle and classified
today and the price for the Wilcox
chickens going into the sale was
highly pleasing. The net figure will
be al‘oundteightuen cents for hens
and 28 cents for friers.
This same price, or possibly a shade
better will prevail here tomorrow.
County Agent C. B. Culpepper and
those who have been cooperating are
already highly pleased with the pros
pective price. It is very excellent.
The farmers in Wilcox today were
greatly pleased with their showing
when they had gpthered all they had
into the Rochelle stock. District
Supervisor of Agents. J. A. Johnson
of the State College of Agriculture
is here today and attended the Ro
chelle sale. He found the producers
happy and satisfied with their good
results.
The sale tomorrow will be a show
in Cordele. It is not probable that
Swift & Company will get this car,
as Philadelphia buyers are already
on the ground and keenly interested
in the poultry which will be gather
ed into the Cordele sale tomorrow
Mr. Mason, representing Risser
Brothers of Philadelphia, is here to
buy what he can for his house and
may get this car. J

preachin at Berlin Friday night
some one gathered a coop of chickens
and a basket of eggs for mhis anto
mobile, The car was parked in front
of the church where Mr, Smith has
been conducting a scries of meetings
this weck., Late Triday Mr, Smith
bought the chickens and eggs expect
ing to bring them home with him
ifollowing] the evening serwice.
An old belief eredits more or less
all preachers fwith a sneaking fond
for chiclens and it was altogether
natural Friday night for Mr. Smith
to look to sce if his coop of friers
had becn molested. He was both
pained and flabbergasted when he
learned that the coopy ericken and
haskct of eggs all had been lifted
while he was trying to uplift the con
gregation that had assembicd to hear
him.
