MRS. W. A. LYLE FOUND
IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Mrs. W. A. Lyle is critically ill at
her homo on Dixie street. She was
found in her home Wednesday morn
ing in a semi-conscious condition by her
son, Charles A. Lyle, nnd nephew, E. M.
Lyle. It is thought that sho had been
in that condition since some time in
the night Sunday night. Her grandson,
Clifford Lyle, had been staying with
her of nights, but is was understood
Sunday night that bo would not be
there and that she would not spend tho
night nlone, but would stay with some I
neighbor. Her son, Mr. C. A. Lyle,
went to the homo on Monday morning.
He found the house closed nnd doors
locked; thinking that she was at some
neighbor’s home he came away. It
was his custom to visit her often. So
he went back again Tuesday morning.
He still thought that she was again nt\
seme neighbor’s house. On Wednesday
morning, the neighbors not having seen
nnything of her, it was docided to enter
the house. Sho wns found dressod in
her night clothing nnd lying across a
bed different from tho ono she occupied
ns her own. Thysicians were called,
nnd she is being given the closest med
ical attention. Her son, Dr. W. C.
Lyle, was called from Atlanta and he
is at her bedside. Her other son, Joe,
of Augusta, was promptly notified of
her condition nnd he is expected to art
rive at almost any hour.
While sho is being given the closest
medical attention, tho physicians arc*
not getting the desired results from
the medicines administered.
While her condition is considered
quite serious, her friends are hopeful
yet that she may take a change for
the better and soon recover to her usual
health and strength.

Every banker knows how many farmers in his
community has used the oats bin as his bank, because
when the farmer finds his roll of greenbacks chewed
to bits he goes to the bank for advice.
The farmer seldom says anything about it, be
cause he doesn’t want to be ridiculed, and the bank
says nothing, because bankers do not talk about bus
iness of customers.
If you are using the oats bin as a receptacle for
your money stop now. Deposit it in our bank.

GEORGIA EGG CROP
WORTH $10,000,000
It Barings More than Peaches and Ap
ples Put Together, According to
Railroad Agriculturists
Atlanta ,Ga,, Aug. 10.—Tho egg crop
of Georgia runs into big money, accord
ing to agricultural experts of tho At
lanta, Birmingham nnd Atlantic Rail
way.
The rnilroad agriculturists say that
Georgia pcoplo hear more about one
peach crop than they do about the egg
crop, but the eggs sold bring more than
the ponchos and apples both.
It is pointed out that not more than
ono half tho eggs produced in the
stnte ever reach the market and yet,
tho experts sny, Georgians sell them
each year to an amount in the neigh
borhood of ten millions of dollars.
Tho chickens rnisod each year, it is
stated by the Atlanta, Birmingham nnd
Atlantic Railway experts who have com
piled figures on tho poultry industry,
are worth a like sum and they, like
eggs, it is shown, are consumor at homo
in a quantity quito as large as that
crated.
Tho poultry business, ns shown by re
ports here nnd in various sections of the
stnto, is a coming business. It is de
clared that it is greatly on tho increase
in various soctions of South Georgia.
Where barn building, hog nnd cattle
raising, hay nnd grain production ure
on tho increase, as is now being shown
in South Georgia, tho production of
popultry is apt to bo on the increase.
