net pay to get it out. If the snow-
ers continue, some will he in th*

instead of the cotton they might
he better off next fall. This could
be applied equally ns well to many
of th‘> farmers of the cotton belt

Ill Memory of Little Mil¬
dred Felts
Little Mildred, the infantclnld
of Mr and Mrs John Felts, died at
their home near Morton Wedius
day night, at the age of eig, t
months . The dear parents
were so fond of, and devoted to
their littledaughtei and count¬
ed her as one of the sweetest and
richest of their earthly treasures.
To them she was all that was
sweet, fair lovely and amiable.
She was horn, nursed and cared
for with the cherished hope that
God had a mission for her in this
world, and so he had, but it was
ended so soon. She is not dead
I'Ut sleepeth, 0 no, Little Mildred
18 n f l dead > but lier ,ittle bod >’ is
resting with Jesus and the angels.
It was snd indeed to see the motn-
er looking for the last time on the
face of the sleeping angel, it was
grief beyond words. The many
friends of the family were very
much affected by the sad news.
She was sick two weeks arid its
sufferings were intense. Slio lias
entered that land whore pain and
sufferings are not known. Weep
not denr hearts, but remember
that God loves you still and is too
goo 1 to be unkind. Remember
too that Jesus said: “.Suffer little
children to come unto me ai d
forbid them not, for of suck is
the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Clinton in Milledge /ille
The Clinton I a « ba'l team play
ed their second game of the sea¬
son on the Milledgeville diamond
last Frill: }’. While they were de¬
feated by a score of two to one
they demonstrated to all present
that they could make it interest¬
ing for all comers. Tho impres¬
sion had gone forth that the boys
from the •backwoods” would
prove easy victims to Ilayncs’i i-
vincibles, but before the game was
half over that clever and active
manager grew restless and was
heard to wish for rain, ns it lock¬
ed us if his pets wore destined, to
go dowu again.
Lavender was on the firing line
for the locals while Hardeman
performed the twirling act for the
visitors. Both pitchers did good
work—striking out 11 men each.
The fielding of both teams was
simply fine while the stick work
was mostly ineffective on the part
of all. Bartlett Ross was the on¬
ly man up that pasted the ball
sufficiently strong to reach the
second bag. It was this plucky
little c itcher who made Cl niton’s
o ily nrj. The game was close
and exciting from start to finish
and until the closing inning il
was a toss up ns to who would
w m.
While the boys were defeated
the game could have hardly been
closer or more interesting, and
they realize that tho victory of
ibr.-ir adversaries was not due to
supevioi playing, but purely to
base bull luck. The teams were
matched and it is a prob¬
lem as to which would bo bested
in a series of gomes.
The boys and all who nccom-
ied them enjoyed the trip very
much, and returned home with
pleasant recollections and im¬
pressions of Milledgeville, her
ball team and her
hospitable and courteous
citizens. There will doubtless he
oilier games between these clubs
in the future.

I you toot your little toe ter

there’s not a sonl in ten short
days will know that you were

pumpkins is the man who plows
all day, and the man who keeps a
humping is the man who makes
it pay. The man who advertises
with short and sudden j«• rk is the
man who blames the editor be¬
cause it didn’t work. The man
w'n gets the business has a long
and st’ady pul 1 , and k eps his
trade paper from year to year
quite full, lie plans his adver¬
tisement in a thoughtful, honest
way and keeps forever at it until
he makes it pay. He has faith

of scripture, has his business on a
