county judge condemned it. in the j
charge to the jury, saying the day

willing to forsake their vows and
live alone in idleness if they cun j
gouge their husbands or divorced

' LOWNDES COUNTY LAND
BRINGS HIGH PRICES.
Yaldnlta, bn., —One of the
nost successful land sales ever
| pulled off in Georgia, and one of
he moat iinportaut, as indicative
if the rapid development and en
irrnous increase in reul estate val
iri-s in the wiregrass section, was
ilm auction sale <.f business and
residence lots at Berlin, the new
town in Colquitt county, on the
ine of the Valdosta, Moultrie and
Western railroad, which was for
nuliy opened today. Between
1,500 and 1,800 people from dif
ferent sections of south Georgia
. ind northern Florida attended
i the sale, and many of them pur
:based lots, the prices being a re- j
j .elation even to those well ac
quainted with land values. Two:
hundred and fifty lots, the entire!
number which were offered, or:
which had been surveyed and plat
ted, were sold as fast as the auc
tioneer could call them off, the
iggregnte sales amounting to
about. SBO,OOO. The business lots
were of a uniform size of 25x90
; feet, and brought from $5555 to I
SBSO a lot. At the former figure
i ibis was equivalent to nearly
an acre. In this connec
ion it may be stated that Mr.
Bride, who formerly owned the
tract of 190 acres on which the
new town is to be built, offered
the land for sale four years ago at.
$55 per acre. The new town is 27
miles from Valdosta and I‘s miles
from Moultrie.
LONGEST APPENDIX TAKEN
FROM WOMAN.
New York, —The Recent contest
for the honor of having the long- 1
*st vermiform appendix proves to I
hove been so much wasted time.
Hie reul record ih held in New
York city, and was set several
months ago.
From an authoritative source
the announcement came today
that on May B, 1909, Dr. Hurold
Meeker, of this city, removed from
! a woman patient an appendix
j measuring 9 inches, which he
now has in his possession.
This appears to set aside the
championship claims of Edwin
Ross, ot Sharon, Pa., 7 inches:
Howard Gould, of Winthrop,
Mass., 0. inches, and George Goss,
the former Yale football star,
0 inches. The averugv appendix
is from 2 to 51 inches long.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—TH CUSP AY, MARCH sj, 1910
ENORMOUS PROFITS.
Cutbbert Powell of Kansas City, (
one of the best informed men in
the cattle business in the country,
says on the profits of the packers:
“The packers make a net profit
:of approximately f 7 40 a head on
cattle killed, 20 cents a head m
hogs and 50 cents a head <>n sheep
and calves.
“And this profit is turned ovet
, every two or four weeks—l 2to 24
times a year.
“The large profits made by tin
packers do not come from the sub
of the meat alone. It is the by
product* and the offal that are
the money getters. These, in con
nection with the private car line
industry and control of stock
yards, have made the packing in
dustry in the matter of profits
second only to the greatest mono
ply in the world—The Standard
Oil Co.
“The hides have a value of from
$5.50 to $9 each. The yield of
j fat in each carcass will approxi
. mate neurlv SO. The other offal.
! every ounce of which is converted j
! into money by the packers, m
i eludes the blood, switches, neats
| foot oil, hoofs, skulls, jaws j
(knuckles, shins, glue, bladder,
• liver, cheek meat, weasands or
| lips, tongue, meat, sxveeetbreads,
| tripe, taiils, brains, tongue and
'casings, all of which are in de
mand at prices higher than those
paid five years ago.
“In the killing of hogs, as with
cattle, the profit, to the packer
comes largely from the offal and i
trimmings, and the cured pro-;
I ducts. To such a science has hog
i killing been reduced that every-:
1 thing but the squeal is turned in
| to money.”—Ex.
LIVE STOCK SALES
AMOUNT TO LARGE SUM.
Cordele—B. H. Palmer of this
city T reports that 1.55(H) head of j
mules have been sold tojthis date;
in Crisp county and vicinity at an
approximate cost to the planters
of SBOO,OOO. The demand for this
large number of mules is the re- j
suit of new farms being opened up j
throughout the county and the ef
fort on the part of those already
operating farms to intensify the !
yields of land under cultivation.
The sale of line buggy horses -in j
Cordele lias suffered a marked de
crease and is attributed to the use !
of the automobiles for the purpos
es formerly served by the horse!
and buggy. The farmers are pi
pelining more and more to the I
j use of the automobiles for
| purposes formerly served by the!
| horse and buggy. The farmers are
| inclining more and more to the j
use of automobiles in the country
and but few of the priminent
I planters are without autos. The
increased use of the machines is
| doubtless stimulated bv the fact
that the public roads in this sec
tion have been built up to the
point that automobiles can be op
erated profitably and safely.
IN GOOD HEALTH AFTER
YEARS OF COMA.
Detroit, M ich. —After ten years
of unbroken melancholia, Mrs Al
exander I'annenholz, aged 50, has
awakened in perfect health. Her
case puzzles physicians and ac
quaintances.
Ten years ago Mrs. Tinmen hoiz
was active in the social life of the
city. Suddenly a pall fell over!
i her mind and she lost interest in !
| everything and experts’ said her
cuse was hopeless. At times she
did not even recognize members of
her household.
Two weeks ago she entered the;
kitchen where her daughter was
1 preparing a meal. With no signs
•of strangeness she took up the task
tof preparing dinner as she had
done years ago, before her illness.
Her miud today is recovered.
