Miss Dora Belle Sasser, Miss Flor
ence Taylor and her sister, Mrs.
Jewel Martin, of Cedar Springs, left
on Monday of last week to attend a
six weeks’ summer school at the G.
S. C. W., Milledgeville.
A pall of gloom was cast over
our entire community on Tuesday of
last week when it was announced
that Mr. Isaac Newberry was dead.
Mr. Newberry had been a valued
trustee of our school for several years
and always worked for the best in
terests of the school and community.
He was a man of many noble traits
of character, a kind husband, an in
dulgent father and a splendid neigh
bor, and as the Courier truthfully said
last week, ‘‘Perhaps no man in this
entire section was more universally
loved and none possessed a more hap
py and fine personality, and was al
ways looked upon as a leader.” Our
school has lost an untiring worker
and our community one of its best i
citizens. The bereaved ones have
our heartfelt sympathies in this, their
dark hour.
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Bryan and
Mr. J. B. Roberts attended preach
ing at Mars Hill church, near Edi
son, last Sunday.
Rev. J. M. Emanuel filled his reg- i
ular monthly appointment at Live'
Oak church, in Baker county, last
Sunday.
Next Saturday and Sunday week,
July 2nd and 3rd, Elder Petty will
fill his regular monthly appointment :
at Shady Grove Primitive Baptist!
church, near here. This will be
their yearly meeting, and at the
Sunday services the sacrament of the
Lord’s Supper will be administered
and foot washing observed.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Daniel visited
relatives in Columbus a few days
last week.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Timmons and
daughter, Miss Myrtle, and Mr. T.
F. Daniel and daughter, Wynette,
were recent guests of the family of
Mrs. Timmons’ nephew, Mr. Ruther
ford Taliaferro, near Brinson.
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Rabon, of
near Hilton, came over and spent
last Saturday night with the latter’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Jordan.
We regret to note the illness of
Mrs. E. B. Davis, at the home of
Mr. J. C. Davis, in Bainbridge, where
she was carried two weeks ago to be
treated by Dr. Alford for a compli
cation of ailments. Her husband
and his brother, C. R. Davis, visited
her last Sunday. On their return
home in the afternoon they reported i
the condition of Mrs. Davis as not
much improved, with another minor
operation to be performed this week. !
Her friends back home are wishing
for her a speedy restoration to
health and her return to her home
and loved ones.
We wish to extend our congratu
lations to Isaac Newberry, Jr., and
M iss Genie Rice, two of our popular
young people, who were united in
matrimony last Sunday at Bluffton
by thejr pastor, Rev. H. M. Melton.
Their many friends wish for them a
happy and prosperous voyage on
the matrimonial sea.
Miss Myrtle Timmons returned
home last week, after spending sev
eral days with relatives in Eldo-;
rendo.
Miss Eva Harper is spending some
time with relatives at Benevolence,
Randolph county.
The wedding bells have begun to
ring in our community. One happy I
marriage last Sunday, Who will be |
the next? Let the good work go on. I
An election will be called soon,
no doubt, to elect a trustee for Row
ena consolidated school to fill the
vacancy caused by the recent death ;
of Mr. Isaac Newberry. We would
suggest the name of Mr. J. M. Gar
rett, who, we believe, would fill the
place admirably and to the satisfac-1
tion of all concerned.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R, Taylor and
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Bryan went up ■
to Mars Hill church, near Edison,
one day recently to hear Elder Ca
cey, of Arkansas, a very prominent i
minister of the Primitive Baptist ■
denomination, preach.

RANDOM NOTES.
By Old Caesar.
Is the hen worth while? We were
■in the city an hour or two last Sat
urday afternoon and made a note of
the sale of five dozen eggs and two
hens at Fryer’s Market. The hens
brought $1.33, the eggs (in trade)
25c per dozen; total, $2.53. Sale in
flour, two sacks best flour, $2.50,
which would leave a balance of 3c to
the credit of the buyer. In 1913
we sold some hens and eggs to Mr.
J. W. Lane in the city at the follow-
| ing best prices paid at that time,
June, 1913. As we wish to compare,
will use the same number of hens
and five dozen eggs: Two hens, 25c
each, 50c; 5 dozen eggs, 8c per doz
en, 40c; total 90c. Two sacks best
flour, 75c each, $1.50, which would
leave the buyer 60c in debt. This
shows an increase of more than 50
per cent, on hens and eggs and 40
per cent, on flour. The same lady, (
Mrs. J. F. Bush, who sold the chick
ens and eggs last Saturday, has sold :
nearly $7.00 worth of cream in the
past month at a cost of about $3.00,
and has used*the skimmed milk in
feeding hogs and chickens. She has i
two cows that produce this milk at •
the rate of three and one-half gal- ’
lons per day. Then is the cow worth ■
while—that is, a good cow, not a I
scrub cow, and then the good cow 1
brought up to best, in w'hich the dif
ference in cost would be very little? 1
Mrs. F. P. Davis engages in chick- J
en raising just a little, not using an ;
incubator. She now has one hundred i
or more frying size chickens and a ;
lot of smaller size. Mrs. Davis says ■ ]
she has eggs every morning for (
breakfast, which accounts for hus- i
band, Pearce, and her son, Jeff, be- <
ing so big and fat. Mrs. Davis has
something that we are at a loss as to
what to call it. On the veranda you
can find water, bowl and towels.
Turning around, you are confronted;'
by a neatly arranged shelf on the 1
wall filled with face creams, cos
metics, razor, brush, salves, lini- (
ments, box of insect powders and a (
can of Prince Albert smoking tobac
co. All this is arranged for friends,
old and young, who happen to be| ;
visiting them. Happy old couple and (
bachelor son, Jeff.

Old and Mrs. Caesar and Mrs. J.
F. Bush visited at Sowhatchee yes

Everybody is invited to an ice j
cream supper next Friday night, the (
24th inst., at Pine View, Miller coun
ty.
Our Sunday School is still pro
gressing, with an increasing member- '
ship and attendance. Everybody is

in God’s service.
A large crowd enjoyed the sing
at Mr. J. B. Arnett’s Saturday night,
also the ice cream supper at Pine
View.
Mrs. Dick Miller, who has been
very sick for the past week, is im
proving nicely. Her physician, Dr.
W. C. Hays, of Colquitt, found it
necessary that a trained nurse be
secured in her case. The services of
Miss Annette Chambers, from the
Chason hospital at Donalsonville,
'have been engaged. Miss Chambers
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. G.
Chambers, of Sowhatchee, and grand
niece of Old and Mrs. Caesar.

COTTON SUSCEPTIBLE
TO CORN BORER
Few cotton farmers are aware,
perhaps, that the corn borer is a
potential enermy of cotton also.
Among the numerous plants list
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture as being susceptible I
to this pest is cotton.
As yet the infamous insect has
not been found in any southern cot
ton field, but its affinity for the
crop has been proved in a series of
tests conducted in experimental
plots.
The corn borer has frequently
traveled by water. The Mississippi
is a direct route from the corn belt
to the cotton fields, and it requires
no stretch of imagination- to see the
possibilities of an army of borers
floating down this water way to
start an invasion that might make
the boll weevil seem like a “dud”
in comparison.
CHRISTMAS CARDS.
I now have my sample book for
Christmas cards for business men.
Don’t place your orders until I have
the opportunity of showing you
