BULLOCH FARMERS SHIPPING CATTLE STATESBORO, April 15.—When it was reported this week that (Cap) B. T. Mallard had sold 115 head of fine cattle at fancy prices, it was also stated that there were others in the county who have fine cattle. It wal plainly demonstrated today that assertion was correct, and also the assertion that Bullock County is rapidly becoming a cattle growing county. Hook, and Smith shipped to Dub lin Saturday afternoon forty-three head of very fine cattle—stall-fed —which weighed approximately 500 pounds each. They were sold to a Mr. Japaway in the Laurens County capital. The forty-three head brought $1,417. 97. There are several others in the county known to have “fatted calves.” It is also known that many of the farmers are becoming interested in the pursuit and within a few months there will be many like Sheriff Mallard, Dr. Hook and Sidney Smith, to say not the least of Johne Hendrix, who is reputed tc have the best herd of steers in Georgia. 8188 SHERIFF TO STOP AUTO PARKING ON ROADS MACON, April 15.—Joy rider.- on country roads in this county have been warned by Chief deputy Sheriff Mullally, to keep moving while on these roads.

JOYNER 109-1 11 Cotton Avenue Letters from Ihe People JUDGE FERGUSON WAS LONG DE SOTO MAYOR The Times Recorder has received the following eulogistic story of the life of Judge E. S. Ferguson, who was during many years mayor of DeSoto and long prominent in the affairs of his home community, contributed by L. L. Wiggins, a prominent resident of DeSoto com munity, which is of interest among many friends throughout the coun ty. Life’s first breath for Edward Stanley Ferguson, Sr. was sweet with the blooms of sunny Florida, he being born in that state January sth 1850, where he lived till thirty years of age, when he mpved to Lee County Ga., engaging in farm ing and teaching, in his opinion the I noblest callings that could occupy the time of man. “At the age of thirty three Mr. Ferguson took as a life partnel Miss Fannie A. Crocker than whom no more devoted wife, fond mother and faithful friend ever graced and blessed a southern home. “Mrs. Ferguson, three sons and one daughter, S. H, Emmet F., John E., and Alice (Mrs. H. N, West) and a host of more distant relatives, survive to mourn his loss, (treasure his many virtues and em ulate his splendid traits and quali ties. “About thirty five years ag:-, Judge Fergu/on moved from Lee 'to Sumter County and located in DeSot o where he resided until April 10th 1924, which was the date of his death, at the mature age of seventy four. “During his residence in DeSoto I Mr. Ferguson was engaged in farm ing and the mercantile fousijiess, being for a number of yeas one of the most enterprising and success ful merchants of this section of the county. Time and again he was mayor of DeSoto, always faith ful and diligent in the performance, pf his official duties while for the last several years of his life he was Justice of The Peace of this Disk, holding said office in honor and fidelity to the closing day of life. “Our esteemed friend was en dowed with a strong mind, and en dued with an indomitable will, power and tireless energy that per sisted in vigor till the Lord in w-hom he trusted and whom he serv ed saw fit to call him from the scenes of time to the experiences of Eternity. “Judge Ferguson was a charter member of DeSoto Lodge No. 361. He was a firm believer in the tenets and brotherly love of masonry, which, next to Christianity, is the sublimest faith among men. For many years Judge Ferguson was a trusted, useful and faithful mem ber of the Missionary paptist . church at DeSoto. He enjoyed its communion, was supported by it: , teachings, was cheered by its minis and triumphed at the las. in its spiritual consolations.” L. L. Wiggins.

There’s a tiny little round spot for a nose. Sweetest voive, just sorta mellow and a disposition rare that you feci the real effect of when he crows. Saucer eyes that fairly glisten when you chuck him ’neath the chin; little paddies that will reach up for your face. It’s a pleasure just to listen to the gurgle with his grin, as his peepers sorta trail you ’round the place. Dimpled knee and shapely should er, plumpish neck and manly chest. What a wonder little fellow is this mite. Let us hope, as he grows older, that he’ll hold the youthful zest that has brought us cheer and gladness day and night. When his velvet arms are ’round your cheek and he sorta cuddles closely as he can, happiness itself has found you and has conqured, so to speak. And he rules you, does this tiny little man. Billy Boom, you’re just tht start ing of a future grown-up man, and you’ve brought somebody everything but gloom. From your nickname we’ll be parting when you’re older, understand, but today, with us, you’- er simply Billy Boom! Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)
