There is a pioacherin t.iis county

In Memory of Miss Vallie
Mullinax
One of the saddest deaths that
has occurred in t.iis community
was that of Miss Vallie Mullinax,
daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. R. R.
Mullinax, which oeeured on Sept,
j '2, at her home.
She was ill only a few days
■ when death summoned her from
j time to eternity.
We believe she was the most
patient sick person we have oyer
seen during her few days of her
illness. She suffered much but
did not 'iiui'inur.
Skilled physicians, loved ones
and friends did all in their power
to restore her to health, but to
no avail, her work here was finish
ed, God called her home to join
the loved one gone before where
suffering and sorrow never enter;
for in Gods presence is fullness of
joy.
We could not abridge her ill
ness or prolong her days, we know
she has heard the summons “Thou
good and faithful servant well
done, come enter now thy heaven
ly home.”
She was born Sept. 11, isilii.
She lived to be 17 years, 11 months
and 1!! days old.
Her parepts belonged to the
Methodist church, but she was
co. veiled in I!H2, at Gillsville,
laud chose to serve God as a Rap
list. She loved the church she
loved the people, she loved God,
and was ever ready to assist in the
promotion of His kingdom.
TANARUS, M. F\
Atlanta, Ga., Georgia taxpayers
are just beginning to realize how
valuable to them the recent reduc
tion of ten per cent in the state
tax rates will prove to them. It
was tit first believed that the cut
merely a reduction from a recently
increased rate, but this is not true.
The rate was not increased last
year, but the lax equalization law
brought in thousands upon thout
ands of dollars which had never
been honesly paid before.
Tax Commissioner Hartsiys (15
per cent of ths property taxes due
had never before beed returned.
Under the new system the small
property owner will have his bur
dens shared by the welthy tax
dodge who until now had success
fully evaded payment.

Bob Crump came to court as
usual last Monday a week ago and
spent a very pleasant day among
his acquaintances. On his return
in the afternoon his mules became
frightened at some piping lying by
the roadside on the hill this side
Of the old Quilli n mill. They
made a dash for liberty and when
Bob pulled one line broke, then
the fun began. The mules seemed
to be running a race while Bob
sat qui 'tly in the_ buggy and
watched the fire fly from their
shoes. Just before the creek was
reached the buggy turned over
and of course that ended Bob’s
ride. His head struck a wheel
or a wheel struck his head and a
gush about th.ee inches long was
left as a gent .<■ reminder of Bob’s
wild ride. A good Samaritan
came a.o.ig and carried Bob home
where the .\ouud was sewed up.
He was in town again bright and
early Monday morning to attend
court. The only way you will
ever keep 800 Crump away from
court is to kill him.
Farm FolKs are Learning.
t. They are beginning to quit
farming by signs of the moon and
beginning to farm by sense of the
earth.
2. They have quit “laying by”
by the time of the year and are
beginning to “lay by” by the con
dition of the crop.
3. They no longer buy fertilize r
by the smell of the goods but are
buying it for the plant food it con
tains.
1. They are beginning to realize
that there is no sense in killing
Southern grassall summer and buy
ing Western grass all winter; nor
in paying freight and broker’s
charges on Western corn and meat
when they can raisthem here with
out these extra charges.
5. \nd especially do they real
ize that it doesn’t pay both to pay
freight on hay an l buy nitrogen
In sacks, when clover vetch, and
cowpeat will not only furnish
cheap feed, but gather fortunes in
nitrogen “lice grafts” from the air
above us.
<. They are beginning also to
see that it is cheaper to use horse
labor that needs food but not cloth
ing than human labor which needs
both food and clothing and the
cheapest of all to use a maximum
of machinery wh ch lequires nei
ther food nor clothing.
7. They see, too, that the main
question is not how much we make,
but how much we keep, and that
time prices and foolish marketing
may keep man poor in split of
wise production.
8. And finally they are begin
iug to realize that just at there is
many a load which one horse work
ing alone would never budge but
which several horses hitched to
gether pull easily, just so their is
many a plan /or the farmer’s bene
fit which fanners single handed
can do nothing which a group of
farmers hitched together can easily
accomplish.—The Progressive Far
