SARAH BACHE
SARAH BACHE was the only
daughter of Benjamin Franklin.
She was born in Philadelphia, Sep
tember 11, 1744. Os her early life,
there is very little known; but con
sidering her father’s sound sense and
his appreciation of education, she
must have been well trained, and must
have been rather more intelligent than
the average woman of her time. For
in those days it wasn’t considered
ladylike to know too much!
The fact that she was twenty-three
before she married, seems to bear this
out, for then young and immature
girls were rushed into matrimony. Her
husband was an English merchant who
lived in Philadelphia. There were
eight children by the marriage.
Whether Richard Bache was loyal
to the States during the revolution,
the biography does not state; but
Sarah Bache certainly was. She or
ganized relief work among wounded
and destitute American soldiers, got
the women together to provide food
and clothes and money for them, ar
ranged hospitals and visited the sick,
performing actual nursing duties and
dressing wounds. And all the while
she kept at the women to supply warm
clothes and get food to the suffering '
armies. She even made speeches and
persuaded those of the Quakers who
thought they had to be pacifists, even
then, to undertake relief work. All
this is noteworthy? chiefly because
%there had never been any public work
done by women and because none of
them were used to organizing or car
rying on public services at all.
After the war she visited England
with her husband, and died in Phila
delphia in 1808.

Cl ]OUR
JLj Last Name
IS IT BURKE?
THERE Is no doubt at all but that
the name Burke is derived from
Bourg or Burgh, meaning stronghold
and eventually city. The name was
first written “de Burgh’’ or “de Burke,"
and so William or John de Burke were
simply William or John of the strong
hold.
Since the days of Henry 111 and Ed
ward I the Burkes were esteemed
among the most powerful Anglo-Nor
man settlers in Ireland, whither they
went with Strongbow.
The Burkes are almost always of
Irish birth or extraction, but they seem
proud of the fact that they are really
Anglo-Norman and do not belong to the
same stock as “real Irishmen.”
Thomas Burke, who was colonial gov
ernor of North Carolina, was born in
Ireland in 1747. He was a son of
Wrick Burke of Galway. Thomas
studied medicine, completing his
studies at the tender age of seventeen.
However, this does not seem to have
been remarkable for those days, and it
probably reflects more on the meager
ness of medical knowledge of the day
than on the precocity of those who
were doctors at an age most boys
of today are only leaving high school.
Thomas Burke, having become a phy
sician, came to Accomac county, Vir
ginia. There he studied law and prac
ticed with Thomas Jefferson. He mar
ried in 1770 May Freeman of Norfolk
and two years later settled in North
Carolina. He was a strong patriot and
led agitation against the stamp act.
He was colonial governor of North
Carolina. It is said that Gov. Thomas
Bnrke was a distant relative of
Aedamus Burke, a judge of South
• Carolina.

Some Reasons For
Growing Alfalfa
No farm crop produced in Georgia,
or the United States, will lend such a
healthy and progressive look to a
farm as a dark green, heavy dense
growth of alfalfa. It is a sure sign
of good farming say specialists of the
State College of Agriculture, and a
very profitable and remunerative
crop to grow.
The main reason why the growth
of alfalfa is being encouraged is be
cause it will make more hay per acre
than any other crop we can grow.
This is an important item on farms
with a limited acreage where land
suitable to the production of hay is
naturally at a great premium.
Alfalfa hay is without an equal, fed
to workstock, dairy cattle or even to
brood sows. It is one of the most
nutritious grazing crops available
for hogs, and cows, horses and mules
can be pastured on it if care is
taken to keep them from bloating.
Alfalfa, like clover and other le
gumes maintaihs and builds up the
humus and nitrogen content of the
soil. In addition to this the roots
of this crop will penetrate deep into
the subsoil, bringing up appreciable
amounts of otherwise unavailable
potassium and phosphorous and leave
them where they can be used by crops
which are to follow.
The most important constituent in
foods is protein, and this goes dou
ble in the matter of raising and
feeding dairy stock. On an average,
alfalfa will produce six times as
much protein as timothy, four times
as much as mixed hay and twice as
much as clover.

Methodist Church
Regular services morning and ev
ening next Sunday. Everyone cor
dially invited.
We are delighted to have Rev. and
Mrs. W. H. Moore, of Juiz de Fora,
Brazil, in our midst at this time.
Theit. presence has been a blessing
to our people, and their messages in
spirational to the hearers. They are
the guests of Mrs. Moore’s aunt. Miss
Emma Kay, our splendid Financial
Church Secretary.
The silver tea at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. R. C. Linder Monday even
ing given by the Ellen Bobo W. M.
S. was indeed a most enjoyable
event. A nice sum was realized by
this Society for their part of the re

FAMILY REUNION
There will be a reunion of the
families of Glenns and Mannings at
Ruhamah church in Anderson coun
ty, S. C., on Saturday, August 15th.
Relatives living in Hart county are
requested to be present.
o—
Brenau Club
In mentioning the visitors at the
Brenau Club last week we overlook
ed some which we regretted very
much. Miss Annie Shanklin, beau
tiful and accomplished young lady
of Easley, S. C., who was Miss Grace
Teasley’s visitor. Miss Lourine Al
ford, one of our home girls who has
been at Bessie Tift College the past
year. We were so glad to have her
with us. Also Mrs. Lizzie Teasley
was with us and is always a welcome
visitor.
I feel like I must also mention
some of the young ladies who are
members, but being away in
it is only a few meetings during the
i summer we have the pleasure of
having them with us. At this meet
ing we deemed it a privilege as well
as a pleasure to have some of our
junior members, among whom were
Misses Grace Teasley, who it will be
remembered won the Brenau scholar
ship last year, Miss Eloise Temples,
i who won it this year, Miss Louise
j Jones, and Miss Mary Linder. These
I young ladies added much to the in
terest and pleasure of our meeting.
We only wish their vacations were
longer.

BEARD-HILL
A marriage of interest to many
relatives and friends in town and
county was that of Mr. Clifford W.
Hill, of Mt. Berry, and Miss Yetive
Beard, of Rome, the ceremony tak
ing place Tuesday, August 4, 1925.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. T. M. Beard, of Rome, and
a young lady of both personal charm
and accomplishments.
Mr. Hill is the son of Mrs. W. A.
Skelton, of Sardis, Hart county, and
a young man of sterling worth. Af
ter graduating from the Berry
Schools a number of years ago he has
been connected with the institution
in the capacity of Steward, having
charge of the dining room and kitch
en at the famous Berry Foundation
School.
Many friends join The Sun in ex
tending hearty congratulations and
best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Hill.
After the ceremony they left for
the mountains of northeast Georgia,
later visited relatives here and will
go to the North Carolina mountains
before returning home.
Kill The Mosquitoes
The mosquito nuisance can be
easily abated by taking the proper
precautions. Remove all tin cans,
bottles, broken vessels, or anything
that contains water and they will
not have a breeding place left. This
j is what everybody should do right
i now in order that the pests will be
I destroyed. The following rules have
I been adopted at Memphis, Tenn.,
1 and should be observed in every
i town and village and country home
as the mosquito often causes illness
which can easily be prevented.
Leave nothing in your yard that
can catch and hold rain water.
Inspect your yard once each week
to see that no exposed water con
tainers are present.
If for any reason you must have
water on your premises, exposed to
mosquitoes, then treat its surface
once a week with a small quantity
of kerosene or oil, or keep several
minnows alive in the water. -*
Get your neighbors to control
mosquito breeding in their bacK
yards.
Learn how to find mosquito breed
ing places, how not to miss seeing
them and send to your State Board
of Health for fr,ee literature on mos
quito control.

Not Lawful To Shoot Doves
Until Atfer October 16th
Georgia hunters are warned that
the dove season does not open in
this state until October 16th in an
announcement made by Peter S.
Twitty, state commissioner on game
and fish.
This point was stressed on ac
count of the fact that many Geor
gia hunters are under the impres
sion that they may legally kill
doves after August 1, the commis
sioner said.
Prior to last year the Georgia law
made the open dove season begin on
August 1, but the legislature amend
ed the law in 1924 to make the state
law comply with the federal law.

Baptist Church
Rev. Pope A. Duncan, pastor of
the First Baptist church at Cordele,
according to announcement in last
week’s issue of The Sun, occupied
the pulpit of the Baptist church last
Sunday mornipg and preached a most
interesting sermon. It was the first
time many in liar* t had ever
heard him, th< -j- new of the
great record he/hul lulxic (hiring his
ministry. Mr. Duncan was born and
reared to early manhood in Hart
county, but has been spending much
of his time in the last twenty years
in university and seminary training.
During his ministry which has cover
ed several years he has been honored
in serving some of the most progres
sive churches in the bounds of the
Southern Baptist Convention. The
church at Cordele is one of the strong
churches of the State, having more
than a thousand members. For
many years it has been his custom,
much to the gratification of his rel
atives and friends, to visit the home
of his early life; together with that of
his worthy companion, the
daughter of Mr. W. C. Roberts,
one of Hart county’s best and most
noble citizens.
Mr. Duncan promises to preach
again next Sunday at the Baptist
I church. The pastor, Rev. W, A.
Duncan, will likely be at home in
time to fill his own pulpit the fourth
Sunday.
