MRS. MOLLIE TURNER
If a friend of yours does well,
Tell him so.
Don’t go raise a jealous yell—
Tell him so.
He’ll be glad to know you’re glad
Glad it doesn’t make you sad.
Finest fun you ever had—
Tell him so.
Ife- '
If you like your brother’s work,
Tell him so.
Drive away the doubts that lurk—
Tell him so.
He may feel that he has failed,
By grim doubt may be assailed.
1 By your word he’ll be regaled—
Tell him so.
If you think his work is punk.
Tell him so.
It will rouse his fighting spunk—
Tell him so.
Tell him he is in a rut.
He’ll just think you are a nut—
Maybe knock your block off! But
Tell him so.

Mr. and Mrs. Wiley W. McClelland,
BROOKFIELD, Sfept. 18.—Mrs.
Mollie Turner, aged 87 died here at
the home of Mrs. Nannie Bowen
Saturday about noon.
She was stricken just a week be
fore with paralysis and though she
regained her speech slightly she
gradually grew weaker until the end
came. All that modieal skill and
loving friends could do. to prolong
her life was of no avail.
She was preceded to the grave
about twenty years ago by her hus
band. She leaves no children, but is
survived by two step-children, Mr.
Nathan Turner, of Jacksonville, Fla.,
and Mrs. Ila Cutliff, of Albany,
The funeral was held at Bethesdh
Cemetery Sunday afternoon. The
services were conducted by Rev,
Olmstead, from the Alapaha, and
Rev. Mathews from Tifton.
A large number of friends gath
ered there to pay their last respect
to one who has been in our midst
for several years and was known
by every man, woman and child as
“Aunt Mollie.”
She has been a member of the
Methodist Church since girhood and
was a devout Christian. There arc
few of her neighbors who have not
been the recipient of some kind deed
at some time, by her. Tho’ she was
very old and feeble, she was usually
found in case of sickness at the pa
tlent’s bedside, doing all she could,
in her humble way, to cheer the sick
one. She has cared for a flower
garden even in her declining years
and many the flowers that have
bloomed in her tiny garden that have
found their way to the timid bride'
chamber or to the sick room or per
haps found its last resting place on
some newly made grave.
Tho’ “Aunt Mollie” has (passed
from among us she still lives in our
hearts. Loved by all she will be miss-
cd by all. We can only hope that
when the last summons comes,
will be ns near ready to answer as
we feel that “Aunt Mollie” was,
good figure.

Home testimony is re a l proof.
Public statements of Tifton people

tom was dull, dragging pains in the
mull of my back. I was always

M
la Meeting at Vanceville. Farmers
There Will Co-operate.
The meeting at VanceviUe Fri-
tf*y night being the first of a series
to be held over the county by Dr. A.
G.. Fort and Mr. L. S. Watson, was
decided success.
The meeting began promptly at 8
o’clock when Mr. J. Dana Jones, of
the Gazette, introduced the speakers
to the people in attendance, thoough
hardly required any introduction
of either Dr. Fort or Mr. Watson,
both gentlemen having worked
closely with a greater majority of
the farmers present. In his introduc
tion, Mr. Jones pointed out the great
work the men to speak were trying
to do in the county, and asked that
they be given hearty co-operation.
Mr. Jones spoke for only ten min
utes, and Dr. Fort followed him
dwelling at some length on typhoid,
slow and malaria fevers, and other
contagious diseases. He pointed out
how easy it was to prevent typhoid
and slow fevers from entering the
home through inoculation, and ma
larial fever by screening against mos
quitoes.
Dr. Fort also stressed the point
that parents should be very careful
not to send any children to school
while they were yet in a condition
to transmit disease such as mumps,
scarlet fever, whooping cough and
the like. He said that if due pre
cautions were taken by all the par
ents in the county, it would be al
most impossible to have a “run” of
any kind of disease.
Dr. Fort spoke for about 20 min
utes and was given strict attention
throughout his talk. He speaks in a
happy vein and his talks are very
helpful and easily understood by all.
Mr. Watson followed Dr. Fort and
spoke for 25 minutes. He held out
high hopes of thc farmers getting
through next year without "calam
ity” carrying them off, because he
thought that the majority in this
county were going to fight the boll
weevil in the proper manner, that
is by diversification.
Mr. Watson has a faculty of get
ting the farmers to agree with him
and one reason for it is because he
advises with them, and does not "ad
vice” them. He does not believe
in blaring trumpetlike that there is
danger of calamity hitting the
tion, but on the other hand holds
out all sorts of encouragement to
the farmers, and they are co-operat
ing with him in his efforts with n
spirit that means that next year will
prove anything but a disastrous
for the farmers and business people
of this county.
The next meeting to be held will
be at Ansley School house at 8
o’clock Wednesday night. None of
the meetings will be held in longer
than about fifty minutes for the
speaking of all speakers and what
ever time it takes to answer the ques
tions put to either Dr. Fort or Mr.
Watson, both gentlemen requesting
that their henrers ask them anything
they feel like about the subjects
they treat.
The meetings will continue for
several night nnd will wind up with
an illustrated lecture at Brookfield.

Friday by officers in Moultrie and

went there and identified him as the
party who stole some money from

ago. He was brought to Tifton Fri
day afternoon and lodged ii
county jail to await trial.
Messrs. A. M. and L. P. Kimbrough,
fruit growers, of Center Hill, Fla
passed through Tifton Friday er
route from Rommy, W. Va., to thei.
Florida groves. They reported that
they found Georgia roads far ahead
of any they had passed over except
some toll roads in Virginia. They
were driving a Ford and had mad’
the trip thus far with a perfec
score.
Adel News: Mrs. S. Whitehurst

urday and her remains were brought

of age and was a most excellent wo
man. The funeral services were
