young boy meets
A TRAGIC DEATH
Joseph Johnson, Popular Young:
Student of Sylvania School,
Is Accidentally Killed When
Struck by Bat in Ball Game.
The accidental killing of young Jo
seph Johnson, which occurred at the
Sylvania school house Friday of last
week, when he was struck with a
baseball bat in the hands of a play
mate, has occasioned genuine sor
row in that community, and all ove*
the county.
The details of the sad affairs are
contained in the following tribute,
written to the memory of the little
lad by his teacher:
The Death Angel has been in our
midst and claimed for his own Jos
eph Johnson, oldest child of Mr. and
Mrs. Alex Johnson, on Friday, Oct.
Gth.
The boys of Sylvania school were
having a game of ball. J. R. King
was at the bat, while young Joseph
was standing near by when the tat
glanced and struck him just over
the heart, causing almost instant
death.
Dr. Carter, of Faceville, was sent
for, but alas, the poor boy’s spirit
had taken its flight before he arrived.
All was done for him that loving
bands could do, but without avail.
It is awfully sad to see our loved
ones taken so suddenly from us, but
<n the other hand we must remember
the blessed Master never makes a
mistake, but \oes all things well.
We can go to this darling boy, but
he cannot come to us.
He gave his heart to the Lord two
years ago, and is now at rest from
all the cares of this world. God al
ways chooses the brightest and rar
est flowers.
To the sorrowing parents we would
say, “pillow your aching hearts on
the Savior’s bosom,” for he alone can
comfort you at such times as this.
To the boy who caused Joseph’s
death, we offer our deepest, heart
felt sympathy.
His Teacher.

Dearly For the Attacks Made
On Her Character.

reputation with insults,” declared

SPLENDID SUCCESS
More Than a Thousand Dollars
Was Turned Loose Among the
Farmers of Decatur County
As Result of Sale.
Another big day was pulled off last
Tuesday when $1280.00 was turned
loose among the planters of Decatur
county.
The day was fine, with a touch of
autumn in the air, and the enthusi
asm of Bob Sealey adding pep. Buy
ers were on hand from four or five
different towns, with local interest in
evidence. The farmers were, pleased
to see so many buyers on hand, and
this fact is due to the business-like
handling of the sales, and the good
grade of porkers that are being de
livered.
Robinson-Reynolds Co., of Donal-
sonville, were the highest bidders,
paying 8.46, total weight 17004 lbs.
R. D. Carr, of Fowlstown, assisted in
the checking in the absence of Mr.
Townsend. Secretary Roberts states
that all came to time with the list
ing, and that full cooperation was en
joyed.
Cooperative sales beat the old time
way of getting money for hogs. The
moon and the frost had to be right,
the following days and nights had to
be cold! cold! And then a period of
wondering about the market, and if
the weather went bad, the meat was
spoiled and that was the sad end of
the story. But now, bring in the
hogs when you want to, get a cash
market price, and return home, hap
py and out of doubt.
Senatorial Election is
To be Held Tuesday
The folks will be called on Tuesday,

time and the suddenness of the cam
paign makes this notice necessary
so that all will know the exact day
Don’t forget that the election is to
be on next Tuesday, and every citi-
en should turn out to vote. The pos
sibilities now are that it will be a
very interesting and close election
If you have a man in view that you
wish to see elected, better be sure to
keep this date in mind.

CALLEDBY DEATH
Deceased Was Past Ninety-five
Years of Age, and Was one of
The City’s Best Known and
Most Beloved Women.
Mrs. J. W. Holder, who passed
away last Friday afternoon at 3:30
o’clock, in the home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. J. Holder, was ninety-five years
old, and perhaps the eldest known
person in Bainbridge.
Mrs. Holder was only confined to
her bed a few days before the end
came, and was rational almost to
the last, making only one request of
her children—that they not embalm
her.
In spite of her years, Mrs. Holder
was an interesting talker, and told
clearly of the Indian, Mexican, Civil
and Spanish-American wars, and of
the last great war she was also fam
iliar with most of the happenings.
Her good health ::he attributed to
work, and being in the “open.”
Mrs. Holder was a Miss Sheffield,
and was married to her husband on
July 20th, 1845. She was a devoted
member of the Catholic church, and
a capable woman of the old school.
Funeral services were held at the
White’s cemetery, fifteen miles from
Bainbridge. Father Kenyon, of Al
bany, performed the last sad rites.
A beautiful tribute of flowers was
paid. The pallbearers were Messrs.
J. N. Matthews, H. G. Bell, M. E.
O’Neal, J. C. Hooton, J. M. Laing,
Marshall Mayes, Grady Welch, Car
ol Graham.
Deep sympathy is felt for those
who survive her, whose personality
was a striking one, and whose gen
tle spirit permeated the place that
she had so long made home. Four
sons and three daughters, and many
grand children are left to mourn her
whom they had affectionately known
as “Mother, Grand Mother, and G
Grandmother.”
OF W. M. U. HELD HERE TUESDAY
The annual association meeting of
the W. M. U. was held Tuesday morn

The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. A. B. Conger, superintendent.
For the occasion the church was
beautifully decorated in wild flowers,
and a buffet luncheon that had been
excellently prepared, was served at
noon, in the dining hall of the church.
Optimism on the future of the asso-

handed in showed fine spirit of the
leaders. $1950 was reported on the
pledges, circulating library, mission
study established, books obtained
for different societies of the associ
ation, 15 mission study classes re
ported. The next meeting will be
held in Donalsonville, and the young

city in June.

sion was “Our Secure Foundation.”

Atlanta.
AMERICAN SHIPS
IN PORT CO DRY
Large Stores of Wet Goods Are
Removed From the American
Steamers in Port of New
York.—Will Sail “Dry.”
New York, Oct. 10.—Every bottle
of liquor on four American passen
ger vessels in port was removed to
day, under orders from the Shipping
Board, so that the dry agents and
customs men will have nothing to
do this afternoon but cheek the in
ventory and cart the wines and the
whiskeys off to the army base in
Brooklyn forstorage.
John D. Appleby, zone dry chief,
said the cooperation given by the
Shipping Board officials under the
Daugherty bone-dry ruling on the
ocean liners made unnecessary any
such action as a raid or search.
The steamers President Polk and
President Roosevelt were the first to’
go dry. Between 4,000 and 5,000 bot
tles of intoxicants had been taken off
the President Polk, and almost as
large a quantity from the President noring of
Roosevelt. Mr. Abbleby said it is |
being guarded until the prohibition
agents arrive. The stocks nbord the
President Arthur and Susquehana
also have been removed.
Tomorrow the President Polk will
sail from Hoboken for London with
nothing behind its bars more potent
than ginger ale. The President Ar
thur leaves Thursday for Bremen in
the same arid state.
In the afternoon the devotional was
led by Mrs. T. I. Cliett of Climax,
and four minute talks on the 75 mil
lion campaign were made by Mrs.
W. I. Geer, Mrs. C. S. Hodges. Three
minute talks, with charts showing
figures, how the campaign has bless
ed: Home missions and foreign mis
sions, by Mrs. D. K. Tolbert, and
chorus by Royal Ambassador Band.
Talk by Miss Bernard of Atlunta.
Reports on committees, announce
ments by pres chairman, Mrs. D. K.
Tolbert, consecration service by Mrs.
Carter and hymn, How Firm a Foun
dation, and Mizpah benediction, then
brought the meeting to a close.
In every way the meeting was a
spiritually delightful one, and great
results have been achieved from the
work of the Association all during
Hie yeur.

state that polls easily 200,000 votes,

It seems that every candidate in
the race for senate is tearing his

tally ignoring the other 150,000 votes
in the state. Is it true that there is
no other influence in the state en

Is it true that all these men, who

LAST BIG TRACT
OF TIMBER TO GO
The United States Will Sell 67,-
000 Acres of Virgin Timber
In the West.—Is a Valuable
Tract of Yellow Pine.
The last big tract of virgin pine
timber in the public domain of the
UnitedStatcH is being offered for sale
by the government for $3,000,000 in
cash or credit. The tract is the Mal
heur forest, in the Blue Ridge moun
tains of Oregun, the last outpost of
the untamed regions, barring Alaska.
The forest stands in the midst of a
stretch of country 10,000 square miles
in extent.
There are 7,000,000,000 feet of tim
ber in the Mulheur, and the govern
ment will sell it under a plan that
provides for rotation of production,
that will continue to the end of time.
The tract is divided into sections,
with new timber growing on some
parts, while others are being cut.
The purchaser of the tract, will
have to build 80 miles of standard
guage railroad and many miles of
branch lines in order to carry the tim
ber to the outside world. The rail
road will justify a number of other
improvements, which will make the
Malheur the center of a thriving in

Ginning Report of the Bureau
Of the Cennus up to Septem

fying Increase in This County
That the 1922 cotton crop of Deca

of last year is the gratifying infor
mation contained in the report of
Agent T. J. Tucker, of the Bureau of
the Census, issued this week, which
gives the number of bales ginned up
Sept. 25th.
This report indicates that the
farmers are finding more successful
methods to combat the boll weevil,
and that the cotton conditions in
this county is steadily improving. It
means that there will be u very sub
stantial increase in revenue from
farm products for this year, and a
correspondingly better condition in
business and trade circles.
The report of Agent Tucker is as

The tabulated report of the Bureau

Interesting Card to the
Post-Search Light
In your issue of Oct. 28th Mr.
Wood, in looking over some of the
old records of the county, found a list
of Jurors drawn for the' term of court
of 1825. In that list was John White.
He was one of the first Settlers of
what is known ns the Greenshnde set
tlement. When he arrived a Mr.
Neal had preceded him, who was his
only neighbor. Mr. White came from
Hancock county to this county, and
was a nephew of Hugh L. White, who
once ran for President of the U. R.
I do not remember on whleh ticket.
He settled near where Mr. Canty now
lives. His first wife died there, and
was buried on the hill in front of Mr.
Canty’s house. He and Mr. Neal be
came fast friends. His son, George,
married a Miss Neil, and died in
about three months. She then mar
ried a Mr. O’Neal, and became the
grandmother of our preeent county
attorney. Mr. White, after the death
of his wife, married a Miss Smith,
who was an aunt of Mr. J. H. Gray.
After Mr. White had built a home
where he settled there was a confus
ion about the deeds. The owner
wanted ten dollars an acre for the
land. Mr. White then moved to this
part of the county, and raised a large
family. One of his granddaughter*
adorns the home of your scribe.
