Mrs. Webb had long been identi
fied with the church and religious
life of Jackson. Born in Lochapoka,
Ala., 64 years ago, she had been a
resident of Butts county for a long
period of years. She served as presi
dent of the Woman’s Missionary So
ciety of the Jackson Methodist church
for many years, was actively inter
ested in Sunday school work and in
the Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union. A woman of exalted charac
ter, she brought consecration and
deep study to the religious and civic
problems of the day. Before her
health failed she was one of the most
active and useful members of the
Jackson Methodist church.
Mrs. Webb was genuinely beloved
by her associates and her passing is
a distinct loss to the religious life
of the community. She was Miss An
nie Mahone previous to her marriage
and was connected with well known
southern families.
She is survived by two sons, Paul
O. Crawley, of fampa, Fla., and L.
M. Crawley, of Atlanta, and several
grandchildren; a sister, Mrs. Minnie
Brown, of Locust Grove, and a bro
ther, John Mahone, of Jacksonville,
Fla.
The body was brought to Jackson
Sunday afternoon and lay in state
at the Jackson Methodist church
from 1 to 3 o’clock, at which hour
the funeral service was held. Rev.
M. R. Heflin, pastor of the church,
and Rev. Walter Crawley, of Dalton,
conducted the impressive rites. Rela
tives, friends and organizations show
ed their love by beautiful floral of
ferings. The pallbearers were: H. O.
Ball, D. V. Spencer, T. E. Robison,
E. S. Settle, Hugh Mallet and H. W.
Turner, while members of the Wom
an’s Missionary Society formed an
honorary escort. The body was laid
to rest in the Jackson City Cemetery.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON. GEORGIA
COL. KIMBROUGH WILL
BE RETIRED OCTOBER 31
POPULAR MILITARY OFFICER
HAS HAD DISTINGUISHED CA
REER. LONG AFFILIATED
WITH NATIONAL GUARD
Colonel James M. Kimbrough,
United States Army officer, who has
been closely identified with the
Georgia National Guard for the past
several years, will retire from active
duty on October 31, after forty years
cf military service, it was announced
Saturday by Adjt. Gen. Lindley
Camp.
Coloney Kimbrough started his
service with the Griffin Rifles, now
the Spalding Grays, in 1893, and
served during the Spanish-American
War in Cuba in 1899, and in the
Philippine Islands from 1899 to 1901.
1 He was instructor of the Georgia Na
tional Guard from 1924 to 1927 and
again from 1930 to date.
In an order issued by General
Camp Saturday, Governor Talmadge
paid Colonel Kimbrough the follow
ing tribute:
“Colonel Kimbrough’s military ca
reer has been distinguished by ability
and patriotism, and by conscientious
work and outstanding ability he has
arisen to the position he now holds.
He has likewise been a prodigious
worker in civic, fraternal, religious,
literary and social fields—in all per
forming an outstanding service and
holding a leading position of respon
sibility in each type of activity.
“By his kindness and sympathetic
understanding of the duties of the
civilian’ soldier he has endeared him
self to every national guardsman
with whom he has come in contact
and with citizens generally through
out the state, and the example he has
set will be an inspiration to the Na
tional Guard of Georgia for years
to come.
“I commend his record, as a sol
dier and as a citizen, to the members
of the National Guard of this state
and extend to him my most cordial
good wishes for his future welfare
and happiness.”
A Possibility
A tabloid newspaper offering
SI.OO each for “embarrassing mo
ment” letters received the following
epistle:
“I work on an early night shift
in a steel plant. I got home an hour
early last night and there' I found
another man with my wife. I was
very much embarrassed. Please send
me $2.00 as my wife was also em
barrassed.”
The editor, so we are told, sent a
check for $3.00, admitting the pos
sibility that the stranger, too, might
have been embarrassed.

15,870 ACRES OF LAND
HAS BEEN REFORESTED
MORE THAN MILLION ACRES IN I
STATE NOW NEED ATTEN
TION. GEORGIA RANKS HIGH
IN ITS WOODLANDS
Athens, Ga. —Although there are
15,870 acres of land in the state of
Georgia which have been artificially
refortested since 1925, there are 1,-
637,800 acres now in need of atten
tion, Dupree Barrett, forester in the
Agricultural Extension Service, The
University of Georgia, has found fol
lowing a recent survey.
Several weeks ago Mr. Barrett
sent a questionnaire to every county
and special agent working in the Ex
tension service asking for figures of
the number of acres, by species, ar
tificially reforested since 1925. It
also requested the total number of
acres in each county needing atten
tion. As to his findings, he had th.i
following to say:
“I did not receive 100 per cent
answers to this questionnaire, but
basing my statements for the state
according to the percentage of ques
tionnaires returned there are 1,637,-
800 acres in need of artificial refor
estation. There have been planted
14,560 acres acres to Slash pine, 190
acres to Loblolly pine, and 1,120
acres have been set to Longleaf pine
This gives a grand total of 1a,870
acres artificially reforested land.”
Georgia ranks recond in farm
woodland area, according to the last
census report, having 8,372,937
acres. Also, Georgia averages $8,860,-
000 yearly for cut farm timber prod
ucts.
Commenting on the forests fur
ther, Mr. Barrett said:
“Forests regulate water supply to
a marked degree and water is an
important factor in farming. Every
body depends upon the farmer for his
food, and if forests have such a great
influence on water the farmer is de
pendent upon forests to a certain ex
tent for our food.
“The farmer’s livestock must have
drinking places, especially is this
need felt in dry seasons. Where the
hillsides have been denuded of trees
water for the pasture fails when
most needed. This means a tremen
dous amount of extra work on the
part of the farmer, fewer and poorer
cattle, a restriction in the meat, milk
and butter supply, which tends to in
crease prices for food. Everybody is
interested in that.
“While the supply of water is a
vital factor to farm productivity, the
forests affect farm crops in another
way. The forest is the home of the
birds. Without trees we probably
would have few birds. Birds destroy
insects that might otherwise become
so numerous as to make it impossible
to bring most staple farm crops to
maturity, and everybody is interested
in that.”
