MRS. J. A. AS
PINWALL DEAD
From Jesup Sentinel
Mrs. J. A. Aspinwall depart
ed this life Dec. 30. 1920.
Mrs. Aspinwall was born in
Appling County. Ga., about fif
ty-nine years ago, although her
exact age had been lost. She
was married to Mr. John Aspin
wall in the year 1881, and to
this union were born thirteen
children, twelve of whom sur
vive her and mourn their loss.
She united with Bethel Primi
tive Baptist Church at Screven,
Ga„ some years ago and had
lived a true Christian life since
that time.
She had been confined to her
bed nearly two months and she
realized that her stay on earth
was short, and said she was
willing and ready to go, so we
feel sure that our loss is her e-
ternal gain, for we believe that
she is only asleep in Jesus. But
while we need her so much, we
would not call her back to this
world of suffering, sorrow and
affliction, and will only try to
meet her beyond this vale of
tears.
May each one of you try to
meet your dear mother and to
follow the foot prints of Jesus.
She leaves a host of friends
besides her relatives to mourn
her loss.
“Her children mourn a loving
mother.
And her life companion dear;
May they comfort one anoth
er.
ft i^Tor them we shed the tear.
“She has gone to be with Je
sus.
She has loved him long and well
Tho so hard to have her leave
us.
Her joy is more than we can
tell,’

HALF YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut
in Half By Food And Grain
Making And Saving
Atlanta, Georgia.— (Special.)—“High
prices for cotton, such as we had a
year ago canndt reasonably be expect
ed for a long time to come. European
countries that normally use half our
crop are so thoroughly disorganised
and paralyzed in a business way that
they will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many years to come,” said H. G.
Hastings, President of the great
Southeastern Fair.
“This situation which we cannot
control, calls for lower costs of mak
ing cotton as well as reduction in cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way to reduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on one’s
own acres every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
“The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cows and acres of corn,
oats, wheat, forage and miscellane
ous crops from which to feed them.
Last, but not least, in importance, is
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source of
food in the world.
“Most folks here in the South don’t
take the home garden seriously and
thereby make a great mistake. There
are too many of the ‘lick and a prom
ise’ sort of gardens and mighty few
of the real sure enough kind.
“We have been told repeatedly hy
those who plan and prepare for a real
garden, plant it, tend it and keep it
replanted through the season, that it
furnishes half the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
“The garden is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. It brings food
the quickest. It starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
is ready to use. A little later, half
or more needed for the table comes
but of the garden.
“liXrightly tended and replanted it
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus above dally needs goes into
cans or is dried for winter use. Yes,
the right kind of garden is a life
saver, and we all need a life-saver of
this kind in 1921."
