A Good Man The death of Rev. Geo. W. Math cws marks the transition into that better world of one of the saintly men of this earth. Brother Mathews was not only a preacher of the Gos¬ pel, but he lived it. All who knew him are unanimous in the statement that he was one of the most' Godly men that it had ever been their priv ilege to associate with. He was pastor of the Tifton Methodist church dur the World War and some of his best work here was with the young men going off to war. He never failed to meet the men selected for service, talk with them and pray with them and rain or shine, good weather or bad, Brother Mathews and his good ■Christian wife were always at the train to bid the young men farewell and consign them to God’s care and watchfulness as they departed for ‘.the army camps. Brother Mathews Was a man of God and most fortu natc in having for his life companion a good and true wife whose all also was on the altar of the Lord.—Tifton Gazette.

Evans, J. D. Bass, C. L. Harbuck, W. R. Kelly and Homer Avera. Go After the Boll Weevil Now The critical time Tor fighting the Mexican cotton boll weevil effectively has arrived. From now on it will be I a constant battle between the in¬ j sects and the farmers to see which will win in the fight. Ira W. Williams, state entomolo gist, has issued a timely warning to all farmers in which he says; “Just before the squares are large enough for the weevil to puncture and deposit their eggs, poison should be applied at least twice and probably three times in the bud of the cotton.
