You are hereby notified that
Mrs. Jennie ],. Spillers

March, 1925, at 10 o’clock A.
make application to the Judge of
Superior Court of Crawford
at the Court House of said
in Knoxville, Ga., for an order au
thorizing me to sell at private
the following described property:
\ one third undivided interest
that certain tract, lot or parcel
lend, situate, lying and being in
State of Ga., County of Peach,
being in the City of Fort
therein, on the corner of College

ticularly described as follows:
Beginning at the northwest corn¬

College Streets and running thence
105.8 feet north 26% degrees East
to an iron stob; thence 140 feet
North 63 % degrees West to an iron

22% degrees west to an iron stob;
thenee North 97 feet 26% de

109 feet N. 87% degrees W. to
an iron stob; thence along the line
of a ten foot alley running from Ceri

pluce of beginning, as shown by
map of T. F. Flournoy, C. E , Feb.
21st, 1925.
r| 'he reason for making ’his appli-
r.T.ion is tiiat the property is in u
run down condition . nd that the
rent from said property does
not pay the necessary char"
es for improving and keeping the
same in repair, taxes and insurance,
and also that the owners of the oth
er two-thirds undivided interest have
f’li opportunity to dispose'of their
interest in said property and the one
third undivided interest of said ward
can be disposed of to better advan
tage by joining in the sale with the
other co-tenants than by selling said
one-third interest separately.

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE
My good friend, Steve Bassett,
walks no more with us.
The word friend is used advisedly,
knowing well that unselfish fiitAid
ship is the greatest blessing God be
stows. In that higher sense, he was
my friend.
When one winter’s day we found
our home burned, before the embers
cooled this friend offered us rfoms
in his home for all the months ot
rebuildnig, and it was only upon ur
insistence, in fact a refusal oth
iorwise to take them, that he allowed
any rental to he paid.
He was a friend to many.
During his last illness, a worthy
young man here expressed the wish
to sit up with him, to be of some serv
ice, adding that Mr. Bassett had been
such a good friend to him, that he
had often handed him a five dollar
bill. No one else had known anything
about it.
The day after last Christina: a mu¬
tual friend, who had sustained re-
cent losses, showed me a twenty dol
lar gold piece, saying Mr. Bassett had
given him that as a Christmas pres
ent.
| These are but typical instances of
his friendship, and of his modest, al
ways unostentatious generosity
! One is properly judged—if it may
be accounted to any of us to judge
at all—by the respect and es
teem accorded by those closest to
him. By this measure, S f eve Bassett
stood high, for the devdti on of those
closest to him, especially during the
trying weeks 0>f his illness, must have
been most gratifying to him. His life
had earned the respect and devo
tiwn ,,f those who knew him best.
! There are two kinds of construe
five. patriotic citizenship—the one,
working apparently, a well as realty,
for th<- public good, the other amass
ing and taking care of property—also
eventually for the public good, not
only as building up a community,
but a* yielding the revenue necessary
carrying on of community, -tate and
nation.
Who are we to say which is the
better kind—both are essential to
P r °t-' r, 'ss.
The man succeeds who chooses his
own wa Y of thfi P Ia <* »« th e
world where he happens to live a bet
ter place, and follows it consistently.
Steve Bassett’s money was always
put into circulation. He never hoard
ed. He paid for property, for im¬
provements. for schooling, and what
he had left .he put in banks where
it could be used.
He , was exact in all business deal

j ings never wanting, and I am sure
he never got, a penny that was not
his, always wanting the other man
! to get what was his own, and, like
wise, wanting for himself what
rightfully due him.
1 have said he was a modest man.
He had attainments not generally
known. Some years ago he was
pressed into service to make an
troductory speech at a public
ing. His address was inspirational
thought, in wording a classic, and
delivered with such fine oratory and
fiery eloquence as was a surprise to
most who knew the modest way he
walked among us.
| Steve Bassett read much, thought
much. He was a close student of t>
Bible, a close student of people. He
loved the truth, as much as any man
I ever knew, and was always brave
enough to speak the truth under all
circumstances, and without regard
to consequences. He had no patience
with lack of truth anywhere.
He was of a deeply religious na
ture, though this, too, in a modest
way. He had an understanding faith
that never faltered as he saw, and
saw so plainly, death approaching.
He was unafraid.
On one of my last visits to him he
told me he had requested those ehos
en executors of his will, as soon as
the funds should Dc availab'e, to give
$100.00 to each of the activ"
c*s in Fort Valley, adding that this
was not very much, but that he
wanted it given as an expression of
bis good will, and of his apprecia-
