YIELDS TO DEATH
Other News Notes From
Cork
Cork, Ga., Jan, 27. —(Special)
The whole community is sad
dened by the death of Mr. W. H.
Jenkins which occured Saturday
morning Jan. 22. Although his
death was not unexpected, it came
as a great shock to his relatives
and a large circle of friends. He
had been in declining health for
some time and all that medical
skill and loving hands could do,
was done for him, but it was of
no avail, for his journey on earth
was over and he was going to the
realm "where the rainbow never
fades, where the stars will be
spread out before him like the
islands that slumber in the ocean
and where the beautiful beings
that loomed up before him along
the journey of life will stay for
ever in his presence."
He was a member of the Mis
sionary Baptist church and fol
lowed its teaching as nearly as
was possible. His pastor. Rev.
Mr. Sharp, assisted by Dr. W. J.
Waits conducted the funeral ser
vices, and interment was in the
Sandy Creek cemetery.
Mr. Jenkins was 71 years of

days. Remember the “dose”
mother insisted on—castor oil,
calomel, cathartics. How you
hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it’s different.
Mothers who cling to the old form
of physic simply don’t realize
what they do. The children's
revolt is well-founded. Their
tender little “insides” are injured
by them.

sweetbn the stomach, and that a
teaspoonful given today saves a
sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent

Value Of The Short
Course To The Farmer
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
New problems are constantly aris
ing in Georgia agriculture. In quite a
large part of the state the boll weevil
has at last appeared and promises to
enforce agricultural changes within a
year or two, if the farmer is not wise
enough to make the changes at once.
What shall be the farm program of
those dwelling in boll weevil terri
tory?
What shall be the farm program
outside of the boll weevil territory, in
facing the cotton prospects? These
are important questions. They should
be answered only after the fullest in
formation possible is obtained. A
thousand other perplexing questions
arise in the minds of progressive farm
ers who are trying to adjust them
selves intelligently to changing agri
cultural conditions.
Nowhere can the farmer receive so
much assistance in so short a time
to meet his particular requirements
as in attending a Short Course of a
College of Agriculture. The funda
mental principles on which the farm
er can base his reasoning in meeting
his problems, is provided at such
courses. Inquiry brings from experts
the accumulated experience of the
world about the very problems on
which the farmer may want informa
tion and prove the very thing to put
him on the highway of success. He can
learn how to curtail his expenditures
for fertilizers and yet get the greatest
possible crops. He can learn how to
determine the best reproducing seeds
according to the latest and-best infor
mation. He can learn how to utilize
Notice
Through the month of March I will
have to make anew voting list. All
those who have moved from the dis
trict where they voted two years ago
will call at the Ordinary’s office and
have the change made on list. Those
who have become of age in the last two
years will call and register prior to
March Ist. 1916, also any who failed to
register two years ago.

various legumes for the upbuilding of
soil fertility. At the Short Course
he can learn how to distinguish vari
ous types of soils in the state and
know something of their value for ag
ricultural purposes. Each year the
problem of farm labor becomes greater
and farm machinery more necessary.
To get a look at all the leading kinds
and to have information from experts
at the Short Course is very important.
No matter how long cotton is grown
there is something new to be learned
about it. Pure seed and how to get
them, what varieties produce best,
what methods of cultivation have
proven best, what diseases and in
sects are to be combatted and how
and what a farmer should know about
cotton grading are all touched upon
in the Cotton School of the Short
Course.
No farm can be operated economi
cally without growing a required
amount of livestock. What that
amount should be depends upon the
size and kind of farming undertaken.
Feeds and breeds, how to judge stock,
how to succeed with swine, dairying
and kindred subjects discussed at the
Short Course should interest every
farmer in the state.
A course in horticulture is offered
touching trucking, orchard manage
ment, diseases of fruit, insects of
fruit, spraying and pruning.
The Short Course at the Georgia
State College of Agriculture will be
held January 4-15, 1915, for which spe
cial railroad rates have been author
ized.
