COCHRAN, PULASKI COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1910.
A Good Farmer.
Ben Meadows is said to be one of
the very !>est farmers in Pulaski
County. Although the crops in
this section are considerably below
the average, Mr. Meadows will
make a “bumper” crop of cotton,
if present indications count for
anything. He has twenty acres in
cotton that will make probably
thirty hales, and he is expecting to
make fifty bushels of corn to the
acre.
Mr. Meadows believes in inten
sive and diversified farming and is
making a splendid success.

Tribute to Col.
C. J. Lord.
Christ comforted his disciples
saying: “I go and prepare a place
for yon, I will come again, and re
ceive you unto myself; that where
lam, there ye may be also.”
On the 6th of August 1910 at
Eastman, Ga., He called unto him
self one of his faithful disciples,
our friend and former co-worker,
Col. C. .1. Lord.
As a Christian and church work
er he was loyal and zealous, the ex
ample of his life will be held in
sacred memory by those who knew
him best and we think of him in
the words of Paul: “1 have fought
a good fight, 1 have finished my
course, I have kept the faith: Hen
ceforth there is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness, which the
Lord , the righteous judge, shall
give me at that day; and not to me
only, but unto all them also that
love his appearing. ”
Whereas, we, the Sunday School
of Cochran Baptist church, have
lost, in the death of Brother Lord,
a valued and helpful friend, there
for he it resolved:
1. That we extend to each mem
ber of his family our deepest sym
pathy, praying that God’s love and
peace may fill their hearts while
they understand that “lie knoweth
best.*’
2. That a copy of these resolu
tions to he sent to the sorrowing
family, a copy to he put on a page
of our minutes and published in the
Cochran Journal.

Letter from Joe Brown
Atlanta, Ga., Aug., 11, 1910.
Hon. E. T. Deen,
Cochran, Ga.
Dear Sir:
I have your favor of the Bth.,
inst., and thank you for the kind
words you have written. Regard
ing the rumor that two negroes went
to Atlanta and asked me to offer a
reward for the people who lynched
the negro who shot Mr. Boothe,
will state that there is not a shadow
of a truth in this charge. No ne
gro in Georgia ever spoke to me on
the subject. The reward was offer
ed because the press and the public
opinion were condemning the lynch
ing and commanding that such
steps he taken to vindicate the law.
With high regard,
Very truly yours,
(signed! Jos. M. Brown.
Keep the City Clean
Since having so much rain we
hope everybody will he especially
particular in regard to the sanitary
condition of (heir premises. Wc
understand that there arc a few
cases of fever in our usually healthy
city, and everybody should be ex
tremely cautious to take every
means to prevent its spread. The
chairman of the Health Committee
will thank anyone to coll his atten
tion to anything that is a menace to
the health of this community. Wc
-liouM like very mtieh if the ladies
of the Civic League would again \
rally and come to our assistance, j
The ladies always accomplish some-j
thing when they undertake to do so.
The mayor has instructed the
marshal to enforce the law strictly
in regard to the pig pens.
For the good of the community,
at large, and for the sake oi the
health of every citizen in Cochran,
we implore our good people not to
violate the following ordinance:
“J!e it enacted by the Mayor and
Council, that on and after October
the first 1907), no hogs shall run at
large on the streets or alleys of the
City of Cochran, Ga: and that no
enclosures for the confinement of
hogs shall contain less thaft one
fourth of an acre.
Any person violating the above
ordinance shall he punished in the
discretion of the Mayor.
Sept. 6th, 19(15.”
Wo know there is not a man in
this community who would wanton
ly do anything to spread diseaee a
mong us, but a little carelessness
and unthoughtedness might preci
pitate an epidemic that would cast
a shallow forever over many of tne
bodies of our people. Health is,
by far, the most important issue -in
any town or city.
If a man ..ontemplates moving
into youv community, the first
thing he wishes to know is: whether
it ise. healthy place or not.
