IN MEMORIAM
HILL —God, in His wisdom, has
Seen fit to transplant, from an earth
ly to a heavenly home, our dear
aunt, Mrs. Mary Hill.
We all deeply feel your sorrow
and would lift the burden, were it
possible, from your sorrowing
hearts. We all know it is hard to
give up a loved one, but it should
only cause us to strive more strong
ly to reach that heavenly home,
where we will know our moaning
and tears. Dear ones, let her life
be a guiding star, to bring you clo
ser to God. Dear aunt, you know
we loved you; yet he loved you
more.
May we meet her in that home,
where parting will be known no
more.
“There’s a missin place,
A silent voice,
A home that’s bare
Without her there,
But she’s been transplanted
In God’s garden of love.
Weep not," fond son and brothers,
For the dear one that’s gone:
Dear Mary is not dead;
She has only gone home.”
Those once made happy by her
sunny prsence are now sad and
lonely, hut we pray that the Fath
er’s all-oufficient grace may comfort
their broken hearts.
May, softie day, we hear, her
voice and clasp her hand on the ce
lestial shore.
“God, in His wisdom, had recalled
The one his love had given ;
And, though the body slumbers
here,
The .soul is safe in lieaipn.
“Dearest one,'we must lay thee
In thy grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
’Til we see thy heavenly face.
“Thou ar gone, but not forgotten:
We shall meet beyond the river,
Where our souls shall never part.

RAISING PEANUTS
WOULD MEAN MONEY
The possibilities for the profit
able cultivation of the peanut in
the southern cotton states, especial
ly in the cotton boll weevil belt,
where this insect has rendered it
almost impossible to grow cotton
with success, are pointed out in an
article on the peanut just issued by
the department of agriculture. In
fact, it is shown that the peanut
may be grown in the boll weevil
districts of the south with more
profit than the fleecy staple. When
the value of the commercial peanut
crop in the United States for 1906
was estimated at $12,000,000 tlie
wonder is expressed that this arti
cle of food is not more generally
cultivated, especially in the south
and southwest where it can be
grown at great profit.
The demand for the peanut as an
article of food is constantly growing.
In this connection the interesting
fact is developed that this country
is a large purchaser of peanut oil
from abroad, where there are-thous
ands of acres of waste lands in the
south capable of producing enough
peanuts to keep the cotton seed oil
mills running and more than furn
ish oil for home consumption.
That the cultivation of the pea
nut is a profitable industry may lie
seen from the figures of the bulle
tin. An acre of first class peanuts,
calculating the yield at a ton of
vines, worth from $8 to *slo and
60 bushels of peanuts, worth from
S4O to 60 will give an income of
S4B to S7O. The cost of raising

FREIGHT WRECKED IN TWIGGS
An eastbound M., D., & S.
freight was wrecked at Swift Creek

ten cars and the merchandise they
contained was badly damaged.
None of the train crew was hurt.
• A defective switch, it is said,
caused the wreck. The railroad
track was torn up for a considera
ble distance.
Until Sunday morning passen
gers, baggage, and mail had to be
transferred at Swift Creek. —Twiggs

“m precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
“’Tis hard to break the tender
cord,
When love has bound our hearts,
’Tis hard, so hard to speak the
words, —
‘We must forever part.’ ”
In Floyd cemetery, where tne
birds call to her their sweetest

rest. May angels guard her sacred
dust until the resurrection morning.

GEORGIA FARMERS
TALK OF CROP OUT LOOK
Fitzgerald, Ga., —The crops of
Georgia, although off in some sect
ions, are, on an average, the l>est in
years, according to the members
of the Georgia division of the Farm-;
ers’ Union who are attending the!
annual convention. In some local
ities the conditions are not as good
as in others, but upon the whole
the crop is good.
Long delayed rains, which for a
time threatened destruction, arrived
in time to save the crops, and the
farmers are more hopeful than ever
of good crops. While cotton in
some sections is behind, in the
greater part of the state its condit
ion is good.
In tli is section cot ton is already
lapping in the rows aud the stand
is good. Corn is also in fine shape.
The pear orchards around Fitz
gerald promise a greater yield than
ever, and this has always been ore
of the greatest pear growing sect
tions.
But, if the corn and cotton crop
should fail, this section of the state
can fall back on its pecan industry.
peanuts is variously estimated at
sl2 to $26, thus showing a net re
turn of $36 to $45. This is above
the Government crop as now grown
in the United States, it is stated,
but decidedly lower than may be
expected under favorable conditions
and proper cultivations.
