Months.—Interment at Bethel.
One of the most serious and sor
rowful events common to humanity
*as witnessed Sunday morning when
t-e news prevailed throughout the
Humphrey district that the Death
Angel had visited the home of Mr.
R- P. Saxon and claimed as its vic
tim his beloved wife. Mrs. Saxon
bad been suffering from dropsy for
about nine months, therefore her
death, however much lamented, was
ro surprise to her friends. She was
63 years old, and was always consid
ered a great home lover.
She devoted the early part of her
i fe to the study of music and was
generally accepted to be one of the
r ‘ost enthusiastic musical experts of
the time. She always possessed a
sweet and loving disposition,
and by her unexcelled hospitality and
unswerving gratitude, she accumula-

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Mr. Charles Williams, Well Known
Citizen, Aged 72, Passed Away
Monday Evening at the Home of
His Daughter, Mrs. T. S. Hawes.
Funeral service of Mr. Chas. Wil
liams, who passed away early Mon
day evening, were hed Tuesday af
ternoon at three o’cock in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Hawes, on Shot-
well street, the Rev. Mr. Scott-Smith
of St. John’s Episcopal church, con
ducting the services.
The death of Mr. Williams came
as a sad surprise to his family, and
to his friends in Bainbridge, where
he has not long been a resident.
Mr. Williams had not quite reach
ed his seventy-second birthday, and
while his years were many and his
health not good, he was a bouyant,
delightful person to meet. Cheerful
and bright and always hoping for
the better physical strength, he was
an inspiration to those of less faith.
In 1877, Mr. Williams married Miss
Clifford Williams, of Thomasville, a
sister of Secretary of State Guyton
S. McLendon, of Atlanta, and lived
in Thomasville, where he was con
nected with the First Methodist
church choir of that city for twenty
years. Mr. and Mrs. Williams later
made their home in Atlanta, coming
recently to Bainbridge, where they
had many warm friends and acquaint
ances.
Mr. Williams is survivedby hiswid-
ow,daughters, Mrs. Owen Fields and
Mrs. T. S. Hawes and Miss Caroline
Williams of Bainbridge, and Mrs. E.
E. Smith, of Gainesville, Ga., sons,
C. C., A. L., of Atlanta and Harry
G. Williams of New York, and one
sister, Mrs. Meynardie of Savannah,
and two little grand daughters.
Beautiful floral offerings covered
the casket and a large space sur
rounding it. Many friends accompan
ied the body with the family to Oak
City cemetery, where the last sad
rights were performed.

BUSINESS MEN
AND FARMERS
YISITASHBURN
AS RESULT OF TRIP PLANS ARE
UNDER WAY TO ESTABLISH
DAIRY ASSOCIATION
Two Meetings Are
Reid On Return
Prospects Are Decidedly Favorable
For Development of the Dairying
Industry in This County Along
Substantial and Permanent Lines.
Those who have been dreaming that
Decatur county farmers and business
men would some day get together
and organize a dairying association
and that extensive growth of chick
ens and pigs would necessarily fol
low, if the man or woman were prac
tical, are about to see their dream
come true.
Dairying, in all its phases, has been
a much discussed subject here. Meet
ings have been held. Experts from
Alabama have spoken. The crust of
doubt was first shaken when u meet
ing some time ago was held under
the auspices of the Board of Trade
and men from Ashburn, Ga., (who
are farmers) talked from their hearts
as men never talked before, did the
importance of the subject sink deep
enough for more men to get actively
on the job. The business men sat,
and heard, too, 'along with the farm
er, who cannot “go” without some
backing.
Last week when C. S. Hodges and
C. K. C. Ausley gathered 22 farmers
and a few others and went to Ash-
burn for full information and “sights
seen” did the real importance of the
organization make itself fully appre
ciated. The visit was a treat; it was
a wonder-worker. Those men at Ash-

DEATH LAST WEEK
OFR. H. EDWARDS
Well Known and Highly Regarded
Citizen of Whighnm Succumbs to
an Attack of Heart Trouble.—In
terment in Trinity Cemetery.
Death at a late hour Tuesday even
ing, October 10th removed a promi
nent and greatly beloved citizen of
Whigham, Mr. R.. H. Edwards.
The announcement of his death
came as a great shock to his friends
who loved and admired him for his
sterling character and kindly manner.
Mr. Edwjyxls was born within two
miles of the residence where he died,
where he had a beautiful estate, and
kept open house for his friends in
a most delightful manner. He was
about to reach the 67th milesttyie of
his life journey. Although he had
been sick the week before of dengue
fever, no announcement had been
made of his illness, as with his us
ual good health it was expected that
he would rapidly recover, and be at
his business again.
The doctors diagnosed heart failure
He was a man of strong, courageous
and kindly character, essentially a
home lover and a devoted husband
and father.
His business and his family were
the centers to which he was devoted
with untiring affection.
He is survived by his wife and two
sons, H. H. and N. L. Edwards, of
Whigham, and also eight daughters,
Mrs. G. B. Lane and A. A. Brown of
Lake City, Fla., Mrs. C. T. Alphord
and F O. Cumbie of Jacksonville,
Fla., Mrs. W. L. Harrell and L. F.
Tillman of Bainbridge, Mrs. R. B.
Owens of Richmond, Va, and Miss
Eva Vivian Edwards, the only daugh
ter at home.
Mr. Edwards was a gentleman to
the manner born, and ail the fine
qualities of his character were re
vealed in h1s home life. Nothing was
too good for his wife and children,
and all that love, thoughtfulness and
consideration could do was done for
their welfare and happiness.
In the presence of a large gather
ing of friends the funeral services
were comluted by Rev. Hollingsworth
and his body rests in the Trinity
church cemetery, where the grave
was covered by a profusion of beau
tiful floral offerings, as tributes of
love and respect from friends and
loved ones.

Young People’s
Service League
In spite of bau weather and den
gue fever we had a good service last
Sunday evening. The attendance was
small, but those who were present
did everything they could to make
the service a success.
William Alfred Wheeler made a
good leader. The subject of the even
ing was the 12th verse of the 7th
chapter of St. Matthew. “What ye
would that men should do to you, do
ye even also unto them.”
Rev. Scott-Smith gave’a very in
teresting talk on this subject. Im
promptu talks were made by William
Alfred Wheeler, Jack Bower, Jr., and
Clarke Gurley.
Miss Andrishock read the scripture
lesson. Our regular pianist was abn
sent but Miss Carolil Graham play
ed the hmyns for us. Miss Graham
was a visitor at this service, and we
appreciate her assistance.
Rev. Scott-Smith offered the clos
ing prayers. The congregation sang
two hymns. Bishop Reese will be
with us next Sunday evening. He
will no doubt have a message ofim-
portance for the members of the lea
gue. Programs begin at 6:30. You
are invited.
INTEREST GREAT IN
TRI COUNTY FAIR
Clever, Wholesome Entertainment Is
Promised, and With Favorable
Weather Conditions, Large Crowds
Are Expeted to Attend.
Unusual interest centers itrounri
the approaching opening of the Tri-
County Fair.
Ladies of the various churches and
organizations of the town are busy
with the preparation of booths in
competition. Climax carried off the
big prize last year. The ladies of
the Methodist church are going to
make a big effort to win the first
prize this year.
One of the big attractions will be
the booth of the Ford Flour Company.
This company will give away a bar
rel of flour each day to those holding
the lucky tickets. This was done at
the • Atlanta Fair, and drew large
crowds. D. R. Kingi the home man,
will be in charge.
Clean, wholesome entertainment is
promised, and if the weather is good
it is expected that crowds will at
tend the Fair.
BAINBRIDGE PARTY
PRAISES ASHBURN
Visitors to Turner County Town All
Speak Highly of the Cordial Wel
come and Many Courtesies Ex
tended to Them While There.
When Ashburn invites company to
see her cows, hogs and chickens, she
has a parlor for the company to reBt
in and talk over what has been seen.
The Bainbridge delegation was en
tertained over there last Tuesday in
delightful rooms occupied by the
county agent, and the home demon
stration agent. These quarters took
up the first floor of the building while
the second story was used for a rest
room. This beautiful room was very
tastefully furnished, and all the furn
ishings were paid for by the Womans
Club of Ashburn.
The hog sales pens were new and
were a donation by the Boys’ Pig
Club.
Six farms were looked over on the
trip, and talks by dairy men, bank
ers and business men were heard. R.
P. Bomeisler, of Waycross, chairmun
of the finance committee of the Geor
gia Association, H. A. Stallings of
the Waycross Journal-Herald, F. II.
Abbott, secretary of the Georgia An
notation, were present, along with the
Board of Trade party from Bain
bridge.
These men had driven over a hun
dred miles to see for themselves how
Turner cour.ty, broke, dishearted, had
solved the problem of debt and had
within a year’s time increased the
value of her lands, brought an at
mosphere of good cheer into the
county, and provided many with pay
checks every fifteen days.
It is a remarkable thing when men
go scekink advancement, not only for
themselves, but for the future of their
county, and is a step that is to be
commended. They were after •»-
struction, and they got it. “Let your
r.kimmed milk feed pigs, chickens,
calves. Raise your pastures, save
your fertilizer. Experience can be
better shown you than told you,” they
said. Their success has been larely
due to the business men, they also
slated. The men came back home con
vinced of the merits of dairying, and
an organization is assured for this
ccunty.

ober this yeur.
Mrs. Conger, our superintendent,
called the meeting to order at 10
o’clock, Oct. 11th, in the First Bap
tist church, Bainbridge, Ga.
The registration list gave evidence
that this was one of the most large
ly attended meetings we have ever
held, tho no delegates came from
Colquitt, because of a death in their
town, and we regretted very much
this absence.
The business of the Union required
a good portion oft he time, but the
many splendid spiritual discussions
of all phases of our missionary work
were intensely enjoyed and greatly
helpful, especially the address from
the State Young People’s Leader,
Miss Beatrice Barnard, on her new
Y. W. A. acrostic, yoke, work, abide.
Mrs. Conger was unanimously re
elected Supt., but most of the other
officers were changed, because of
their urgent request to be relieved
from office. Our reports show prog
ress and increasing interest, and the
women are striving to come out vic
toriously with paying their 75,000,000
pledges. *
Stronger emphasis than ever before
was given to the work of the Young
People’s Leader, and we heartily en
dorse Mrs. I, T. Cliett of Climax as
the new leader. Let all the organi
zations of young people send a report
quarterly to her, and one also to the
district secretary.
Also let every organization of the
young people send an offering for
asHociutional expenses to our treasur
er. and mark it plainly for the young
people’s leader expenses.
The ladies of the Bainbridge church
were unlimited in their hospitality,
and served a most delightful dinner
in the basement of the church. The
day was one of happy fellowship, as
well us instructive.
The annual meeting for next year
will be with the Donalsonville Bap
tist church.

GOING AFTER If
FOR BAINBRIDGE
IL-ard of Trade Sponsors Trip of n
I’arty of Twenty-two Fnrmera to

IIusinrsH Men Go ‘Alao.
As the WaycrosB Journal-Herald
says, "We must simply hapd H to
the Ilainbridge Boned of Trade for
furnishing earn and taking twenty-
two formers of Decatur county and
five business men of Bainbridge to
Ashbrn to Inspect tho small dnirlos
there.
It Is no small matter to take men
over a hundred miles for such an
inspection. But, it beats speechmaks
ing. These farmers had tha privilege
of seeing with their own eyes Just
how the furmers with the same num
ber of acres ns they had, with just
the number of stock they have, sink
with just the amount of cn|>ital they
hud, moved out of the “broke" con
dition into one of fretting a cream
ery check twice a month. And the
amount of information those farm
ers and business men picked up on
the Bide!”
Now, If our farmers- an tnko hold
of tho eo-oporativu hog antes propo
sition, nnd get into it with checkc
twice n month, without any trouble,
they can go another stunt which will
not only bring in check twice a month
sition, and gut into It with chocks
the cost of raising those hogs for
the cooperative sales.
Then the chickens come right in
at this place, brtng in another check,
and ull practically getting by on one
plan of expense—pastures and fertil
izer, und each contributes to the fer
tilizer, while the pasture is only a
matter of ingenuity, being practical
and adding u little need where gruas
is not doing its best naturally.
Now, those men returned from
Ashburn full of pep, this time to go
through. They arc going to hold a
meeting at the court house Thurs
day afternoon at 3 o'clock, Oct. 26th,
to organize a dairying association,
and alt who are interested nnd even
if they do not intend joining, arc ask
ed to attend this meeting.

Be Held Tuesday
Bear in mind the astonishing prices
paid at the last cooperative hog sale

Bainbridge has led the state in
prices twice. Tuesday morning. Oct.
24th, is the day.
To Correspondents
In some manner last week a dis

ple have sent in similar stuff. Now
friends, we are not seeking to invade
the realms of the religious papers,
the Christian Index, The Wesleyan
Christian Advocate, or any of the
church pnpers.
This is not a place for a religious
discussion. The church papers have
their field and we have ours. They
have trained and educated writers to
discuss these subjecta. and it is not
our field at all. Kindly do not send
any more religious discussions into
this paper. It can do no good, but
on the other hand, will do harm to be
publishing religious and doctrinal
matter.
That ia not our field, and we inaiat
that no more auch matter be aent to
us. It always immediately precipi
