LISTENING IN
The tragic death of Prof. W. C.
Wright, County Superintendent of
Education of Putnam county, re
moves one of the foremost educators
of the State. It does more it takes
from Georgia one of its outstanding
citizens. A typical southern gentle
man. Then too, by three vagrant
highwaymen that he had befriended
with a ride. Georgia will be far
better off when the law is enforced
against vagrants and murderers.
Prof. Wright’s wife is a first cousin
of Mrs. Julian B. McCurry, both
being nieces of Ex-Congressman
Thomas G. Lawson of this district.
It is regrettable that the quarrel
in the State Highway Department
may obstruct road-building in Geor
gia for a season. Georgia’s roads are
its worst liability. The greatest
boost for any State is good roads.
The saving in wear and tear to
wagons, stock, buggies and automo
biles will pay for roads. The three
highway commissioners are leading
Georgian’s deserving of the public
confidence. It is to be hoped that
they may reconcile their petty politi
cal differences and give the state that
wonderful service of which they are
capable.
The highway department is a big
business plant. There may be some
leaks in it, there are in all business
plants. It is far from perfect. But
when we observe the roads of today
to those formerly, there is a great
improvement. If any county in
Georgia had the money that has been
spent on roads, especially changes,
they could relieve themselves of
taxes.
Julius Y. Talmadge, one of the
executive heads of Talmadge Bros. &
Co., of Athens, reputed to be one of
the most successful wholesale grocers
between New York and New Or
leans spent Tuesday in Hartwell. Mr.
Talmadge’s many friends are de
lighted that he is convalescing after
a serious illness.
Hartwell was honored Tuesday by
a visit from Mrs. Julius Talmadge,
State Regent D. A. R. She is a lady
of rare charm and beauty and a
most gracious speaker. Her friends
predict she will soon be called to the
national head of this popular organi
zation.
The passing away of T. Sam
Hawes of Bainbridge, General Con
sel of the G. S. & F. Railroad was a
shock to his friends over the South.
Apparently in the best of health he
died after a few days illness in an
Atlanta sanitarium. Popular in life,
his memory will be kept green in the
hearts of all who knew him.
To use the vernacular of the street
every one knows that Sam W. Small
is a “warm one” but they did not
know that his farewell tour was so
full of tobasco as to set his beloved
Constitution building afire.
Hush little garage don’t you cry

Whole Family Vouches
for Seeing “Doubles”
Quite amazing is a story told by Mr.
Owen in a book called "Footfalls”:
Some years ago an Ohio farmer built
a new house for himself, separated
from the one he had occupied by a
ravine. One afternoon, about five
o'clock, his wife saw their eldest
daughter, Rhoda, aged sixteen, holding
the youngest, Lucy, aged four, In her
arms, sitting rocking within the
kitchen door of the new house. She
called the attention of another sister
to what she saw and was startled to
hear that Rhoda and Lucy were up
stairs In the old house.
They were at once sent for, and cn
coming downstairs they saw, to their
amazement, their exact doubles sitting
on the doorstep of the new house. All
the family collected—twelve In all—
and they all saw the phantasmal
Rhoda and Lucy—the real Rhoda and
Lucy standing beside them. They
were absolutely Identical to the most
minute particular of their dress. After
watching them for five minutes, the
father started to cross the ravine and
solve the mystery.
Hardly had he descended the ravine
when the phantasmal Rhoda rose from
the rocking chair, with the child In her
arms and lay down on the threshold.
There she remained for a moment or
two and then apparently sank into the
earth. When the father reached the
house no trace could be found of any
human being.
Blessings of Quarantine
“I wish to thank the city authorities
for quarantining my family and me
recently for three weeks because one
of them had smallpox. During that
time my wife caught up with her sew
ing. We had three square meals every
day, as no one came In and she was
not permitted to leave. We enjoyed
three weeks of good nights’ sleep, and,
best of all, a cousin with four children,
who had arranged to visit us, saw the
smallpox sign on the door and left
town so scared that she will never j
come back again.”
The above letter of thanks was re- I
celved by a city health department re
cently.—From Hygeia.
Painting Deceived Birds
Zeuxis, a famous Greek painter, who ’
flourished In the latter half of the
Fifth century B. C.. Is said to have
painted grapes so naturally that the
birds peeked at tbeoa. Parrhasius was
a young rival of Zeuxis and in a com
petition between them the young artist
was allowed by Zeuxis to surpass him. |
It was on this occasion that Zeuxis, I
perhaps the greatest of all the Greek
painters, painted a bunch of grapes
which were so natural that the birds
pecked at them. Or so says tradition.

IN MEMORY OF MR.
JAMES EVANS
One from our precious heart has
gone.
The voice we love is still.
A place is vacant in the home
which never can be filled.
We know the Heavenly Father wel
comed him to his spotless land.
But despite this knowledge our
hearts are bleeding with sorrow and
grief.
It almost breaks our hearts to part
from our dear husband and father.
Oh how sad it is to think that when
our dear brother closed those beauti
ful blue eyes to think they had c)»> a *d
to never see them again.
We have heard the twittering
notes of the loveliest birds and
! thought it sweet.
We have stood beneath stary be
decked heaven some clear calm night
watching the firmaments. Above
the contemplating their beauty and
sweetest but the sweetest of all was
the voice of dear Mr. Evans.
Weep not for dear Mr. Evans, has
gone to join the Heavenly band.
With angels he is singing in that
fair and happy land.

THE NEED AND CARE OF THE
SMALL FARM ORCHARDS
By R. L. SHIFLET
I wish I could impress on the minds
of each individual farmer and citi
zen of Hart county the needs and
care of a few fruit trees.
It requires only a small spot of
land to be planted to fruit trees to
supply the needs of each family. A
few well selected trees will furnish
us with all the fruit we need from
early spring till late in the fall. Now
there is one important thing about
this small orchard and that is the
cultivation and care of the trees.
The trees should be thoroughly
sprayed each winter and several
times each spring and summer and
carefully pruned each year.
The sprays are the same for apples
and peaches in winter, but different
mixtures are used in spring and sum
mer. Ry carefully pruning, spraying,
worming and cultivating will add
much to life and health of the trees.
All dead and diseased limbs should
I be removed and burnt which will in
crease the growth in the fruit.
We must spray to protect and pro
long the life of the trees to control
insects and diseases and to prevent
rotton and wormy fruit.
I think the San Joes scale and the
borers are the most fatal to peach
i trees of all other insects and which
both are very easy controlled. Treat
ment for the former is to put on a
spray of lime sulphur solution when
the trees are dormant, repeat this
spray again in about eight or ten
days and on if necessary.
The borers must be picked or dug
out of the trees as spraying does not
have much affect on them. When
the trees are once put in good snape
the time required to look after them
is much shorter. Now I hope we
all will take more pride and more
interest in this little home orchard
for 1 don’t see how we can well af
ford to do without it. Let us turn
over a new leaf on this thing and
be sure not to let it flop back.
o
Let us hope that the end of the
world will ultimately find us all at
tending to our duties. Wall Street
Journal.
