Bankersof Atlanta
Endorse Currency Bill
Atlanta Ga., June 30 —The aston
ishment expressed over the country
at the haste which the Atlanta clear
ing House Association endorsed the
Wilson currency reform measure,
the day after it was announced will
'probably subside in the face of an
interesting explanation. Bankers
in other cities wondered that Atlan
ta saould endorse the measure be
fore studying it. The answer was,
that Atlanta already knew all about
it.
“We endorsed it immediately”
said a leading member of the Clear
ing House Association today, “be.
j cause it embodies exactly the same
! principle in according with which
we issued our Clearing house certifi
cates in 1900. We have tried the plan
and we already know its merit.”

This Man Is
Getting Old
Editor Cochran Journal:
It was my pleasure a few days
ago to visit my old time friend and
neighbor, Mr. James Barlow, who
is now living with his son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Ussery, four miles east of Chester,
Ga.
In my early life I lived near Uncle
Jimmie and my first acquaintance
with him showed then that he was
getting to be an old man. In
Wilkinson county he lived and raised
a large family of boys and girls. He
delighted in a farm and no man
knew better how to grow corn and
cotton in his day. When the first
railroad track was built in the
United States over which a locomo
tive ran, Uncle Jimmy was old
enough to be engineer, conductoi,
or boss of the section gang. He
was eleven years cld when the first
state west of the Mississippi river
was admitted into the Union. If
lie had been near enough he would
have heard the hell toll at the fun
eral of every dead President of the
United States except George Wa h
ington.
He was lisping his mother’s
name when Alex H. Stephens was
born and when he was old enough
for a foot race with Abraham Lin
coln the victory in race „on Lin
coln’s side was because Lincoln was
one year older than Uncle Jimmie,
Uncle Jimmie was over the age lim
it when Abraham called for seven
ty-five thousand volunteers to de
fend the Union, hut he shouldered
his musket and pitched halls at the
,oys in blue until General Lee of
fered Grant his sword at Appomat
tax,
His wife passed away six years
ago at the ripe age of eighty-seven;
the couple having lived together for
seventy years. When he was one
hundred years old he delighthed in
working over the crop alone. He
is now one hundred and two years
and if he lives until the 18th of
November next, lie will have readi
ed the third round in the ladder "of
his second century.
He was always a map of small
physique but strong and active.
His appetite is yet good and bis
sight and hearing are remarkably
good for one so aged. By the aid
of one of the family on las left side
and his stick in his right hand he
goes regularly to the table for his
breakfast and dinner. His mind is
very waek at times, yet he knows
all the members of the family.
A long life is the hope of every
mortal being but. why Uncle Jimmie
has lived so much longer than
thousands of others much younger
than lie, makes us ask the question,
Why?

Compliment To
Misses Peacock
The home of Mr. and Mrs, Mile
tus Wynne was a scene of beauty
and gaity h\st evening, when seven
couples were entertained in honor
of Misses Yanoe and Mary Peacock,
of Hawkinsville,
The young ladies were entertain
ed at a supper party, the decora
tions used being marigolds.
The young men joined them
afterwards, when Mr. and Mrs.
Wynne, assisted by Mrs. Nellie JJ,
Grimsley, chaperoned thorn at a
Theatorium party, which was de
lightful in every detail.
After the pictures, the gracious
hostess invited her guests into
Brown’s Palace, where they were
served with cream and cake at
small tables, which carried out -the
same decorative idea of marigolds.
Those who enjoyed Mr. and Mrs.
Wynne’s hospitality were, the Alia
ses Peacock of Hawkinsville, Misses
Mamie Belle Reeves, Pearl Taylor,
Gussie Register, Katharine Chris
tenson, of Des Moines, and Margu
erite Urquhart,
Messrs Miletus Wynne, Jr., Tin
dall Harris, Joe Taylor, Lee Lester,
Rev. Perry Crumpton Walker and
Col. A. C. Adams.

New Representatives
Were Not Seated
Our Representative, Leo. H.
Browning, of Bleckley, and Douglas
McArthur, of Wheeler, the two new
county representatives failed to get
seats in the legislature. The mem
bers were overwhelmingly in favor
of seating them if they could have
done so legally but a majority of
the members decided that in as
much as there were no, provisions
made in the bills that created the
new counties for representation, it
would be unconstitutional. Bleck
ley County will be represented by
Dr. Shipp, of Pulaski, and Wheeler
will lie represented by the member
from Montegomery, until the next
general election in 1914.
The Modern Wood
men of America

insurance protection is considered
first class and is much cheaper than
old line insurance.
