MRS. ELIZABETH MILLS
PASSES AT AGE OF 96
The death of Mrs. Elizabeth Mills,
9(5 years of age, occurred at her
home at Jenkinsburg Tuesday morn
ing. Death resulted from the infirmi
ties of age. Until recently Mrs. Mills
was in her accustomed health and
her last illness was not a long or
painful one. Her death brings deep
sorrow to a host of relatives and
friends.
Mrs. Mills was a lifelong resident of
Jenkinsburg. She was a daughter of
the late Mr. James E. and Mrs. Mar
tha Bledsoe, pioneer settlers of this
section.. She was the widow of the
late Mr. Robert Mills, and was con
nected with old and influential fam
ilies of the county. Mrs. Mills was
a devoted member of the Jenkinsburg
Baptist church and attended services
regularly as long as her health would
i
permit. She was widely beloved for
her fine qualities of character. Mrs.
Mills, it is believed, was Butts coun
ty’s oldest resident.
Mrs. Mills is survived by two sons,,
Hon. J. H. Mills, former representa
tive from Butts county and a for
mer state president of the Farmers
Union and prominent political fig
ure in county and state politics; Mr.
W. B. Mills, of Mcßae; three daugh
ters, Mrs. Mary Bledsoe, of Eaton
ton; Mrs. Nettie Thurston, of Locust
Grove, and Miss Mattie Mills, with
wnom she made her home. She is
also survived by several grandchil
dren.
Funeral services were held at the
Jenkinsburg Baptist church Wednes
day morning at 11 o’clock, with Rev.
J. B, Stodghill, assisted by Rev. R.
C. Owen, officiating. The esteem in
which this beloved woman was held
was attested by the beautiful floral
offerings. Interment was in the
church cemetery.

WHO SAYS WE’RE POOR?
Everybody is bemoaning their pov
erty-stricken plight.
And yet everybody is spending for
and supporting non-essentials like
money was as plentiful and as free as
water.
Who can rightfully plead poverty
when we are everyone of us paying—
Baseball players as much as fifty
and sixty thousand dollars to furnish
ur excitement for an hour or so a day
for four to five months each year.
Movie stars up to as much as five
thousand dollars a week to amuse
us for an hour or so each week.
Heads of tobacco manufacturing
concerns a million dollars a year just
to let their names be used in con
nection with the industry.
Railroad presidents up to as much
as two hundred thousand dollars a
year, their main duty being to pre
side over meetings of directors an
hour or so once a year.
Heads of insurance companies fif
ty to a hundred thousand dollars a
year for spending an hour or so a
day signing papers and playing golf
the balance of the day.
Lots of other folks who draw down
salaries large enough for a few
months’ work in the summer to en
able them to spend a large portion
of the winter in Florida or California
at hotels at around twenty-five dol
lars a day.
More for automobiles and the op
eration of them a year than is the
national debt.

Anywhere from twenty to fifty
thousand dollars to see teams of col
lege boys (whose daddies are prob
ably risking bankruptcy to give them
educations) amuse us for an hour or
so on football and baseball grounds.
Processors of a lot of foodstuffs
as much as a thousand percent pro
fits for roasting or otherwise manip

/
them up in fancy cartons.
Hundreds of other such outrage
ously excessive salaries and prices for
things that we could just as well get
along without.
And, kind reader, you cannot
truthfully say that you are not pay
ing these salaries and prices.
You may never go to a baseball
game or see a movie and do not use
tobacco and do not let college foot
ball and baseball games attract you
and maybe do not eat anything but
old home grown meat and bread.
But you may rest assured that you
do not escape tribute levied upon you
to meet any and all of these expenses.
The fellows you buy from or get
to serve you in any capacity do make
such tributes and they have to add
your proportionate part of them to
what you buy or charges for what
they do for you.
No wonder folks are poor when k
comes to paying subscriptions to their
county papers or contributing to the
support of their churches or provid-

above are made upon them and which
they cannot escape.
We may be, on account of our fi

duties, but we are at the same time
contributing largely to hundreds
of excessively costly non-essentials.
