If the Montezuma Georgian figures
taxes correctly, about all the prop
erty the average citizen thinks he
owns is really the property of the
government. The Georgian say:
“If the taxes on a farm or city prop
erty amount to 25 per cent of the
net income the owner really owns
three-fourths of the property, the
rest belongs to the government. If
the taxes amount to half the net
profits the owner really owns but
one-half the property, the other half
belongs to the government.”

THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
If, when making coffee, you run
short of milk a good substitute is to
beat up an egg and put a little in
each cup with a little mijk. You
will find this greatly improves the
coffee.
* * *
To keep mice away scatter small
pieces of camphor in your cupboards
and drawers. They greatly dislike
the smell of camphor and will go far
away from it.
* * *
When you want to bake a cake in
the morning and the oven is too hot,
just put it in with the door ajar un
til oven is the right temperature.
* * *
Use eggshells to wash bottles or
vinegar cruets. Crush them fine,
put into the cruets with warm,
soapy water and shake well. This
will clean the finest glass without
scratching it.
* * *
Leftover mashed potatoes can be
reheated by placing in double boil
er and adding a little milk or
Cover tightly and cook 15 minuteL
Stir to prevent lumping.
* * *
To remove the feathers from wild
ducks, dip them in boiling water,
then wrap in a thick cloth. The
feathers are steamed loose in a very
few minutes and the “pin” will give
little or no trouble.
* * *
A sauceful of quicklime placed in
a damp closet or cupboard will not
only absorb all dampness, but will
sweeten and disinfect the closet.
* * *
For a rose bedroom a dainty rug
is made by braiding two strips of 'old
rose with one of white or a soft
green. Two-toned greens also make
pretty rugs.

When steaming a pudding do not
cover the first half hour at least.

DEATH OF WILLIAM W. FIEDLS
William W. Fields was born May
5, 1871; and departed this life Au
gust 11, 1931. He was 60 years, 3
months and 6 days old.
He was born and raised in Jack
son county. He spent his entire life
here until 6 years ago. He moved
near Lattimore, N. C., where he was
making his home at the time ‘o'T his
death.
Father was in declining health
for 3 years. He suffered from pel
lagra, but was not confined to his
bed until about 4 months before
death. He joined the Baptist church
at White Plains several years ago,
and lived a consistent member until
death.
We know by his ways of living
thJk he is now basking in the sun
light of God. But, oh, how sad to
give him up. But if we live as we
should, we can meet him in that
world above.
He leaves a wife, 4 daughters,
one son, 15 grand children, one
brother, 5 sisters, and other rela
tives, and a host of friends to mourn
his passing away. The children are
Mrs. Hoyt Hayes, Mrs. Clyde Church,
Master Russel Fields of near Shelby,
N. C., Mrs. Raymon Evans, and Mrs.
Homer Banks of Pendergrass, Ga.
Everything was done that loving
hands and hearts could do. But
God knows best; he was needed
more in Heaven than on earth.
There is a vacant place in that
home that cannot be filled. We have
often heard him say, “Lord, have
mercy on me.” But now have mercy
on each of his family, that they shall
meet him in that beautiful home
above.
His body was laid to rest at
Sandy Plains church, near Latti
more, N. C., of which he was a
member. Rev. Putman conducting
the funeral service.

THE GOLDEN RULE IN AN AUTO
When I am driving on a street
Where little folks I’m apt to meet
Who dash across the street in play,
I hope I’ll drive in just the way
That I would drive if mine were
there
Upon that crowd thoroughfare.
