RECORDS FOR COTTON
BROKEN AT DAWSON,
Dawson,. Ga., Sept. 16.—A1l
previous records for cotton re
ceived in one day were broken
last Saturday when 1,300 bales
were received by the warehouses 1
of the city. The receipts to date
are about 13,300 bales and it is
estimated that 15,000 will have
been received by Saturday night.
On the farm of Mr. W. D. Da
vidson, near Graves Station, 21
bales from one plow have been
marketed and there are now open
in the field five or six bales. Not
less than 32 bales are expected
from this one-mule plot.
IN MEMORIAM.
We, the committee appointed
to draw resolutions on the life of
our deceased member, Neil Gil
lis, beg leave to report as follows:
Brother Neil Gillis was born
Feb. 15th, 1840, in Montgomery
county, Ga., and lived' during his
entire life a citizen of this coun
ty. He died July the 15th, 1911.
On March the 30th, 1865, he was
married to Flora C. Galbreath
with whom he happily lived un
til his death. The fruits of the
marriage were nine children all
of whom have been reared to
maturity and are now substantial
citizens of the county.
During his career as a citizen
of the county, he was elected to
the office of Tax Receiver which
office he filled with signal ability.
When the tocsin of war between
the States was sounded, he re
sponded to the call, shouldered
his musket, went to the front,
and shared the hardships and
triumphs of the Confederate
army under the leadership of
Lee, a brave soldier and a loyal
supporter of the Confederate
cause. As ‘a soldier he never
faltered from his duty or com
plained of the hardships to which
he was subjected during those
trying days.
He became a member of the
Methodist church at Morrison’s
church in 1873 and lived consist
ently as such thereafter. As a
husband and father he was de
voted to his family and we opine
that the saddest hour of his life
was when he was called to leave
them to battle alone the vicissi
udes of this life.
He became a Master Mason in
Aural Lodge No. 239 on the 18th
day of October, 1866. As a Ma
son we knew most of him. He
was devoted to the tenets and
principles of the order and was,
up to the date of his declining
years, a faithful attendant upon
its meetings. He was content to
occupy in the lodge the position
of a layman and was always sub
servient and obedient to the de
mands made upon him for the
purpose of carrying on the char
itable work which the lodge un
dertook. Truly his life as a Ma
son is a shining example of what
a Masonic life should be;-there
fore, be it resolved:
Ist. That we deplore the
death of our worthy brother and
commend his spirit to the God
who gave it.
2nd. That we offer condolence
to the bereft family and rela
tives of the deceased who feel so
sorely his loss.
3rd. That a page of our min
utes be dedicated to his memory
and that a copy of these resolu
tions be furnished the family of
the deceased and printed in the
Montgomery Monitor. All of
which is respectfully submitted.
J. B. Geiger,
J. C. McAllister,
Wm. Bland,
Committee.

SIGNATURES ON CHECKS.
“You ought to sign your check
differently, Mr. Blank,” said a
bank employee to a depositor
whose account runs well up to
ward SIOO,OOO a year.
“What’s the matter with that
check?” asked the customer,
nettled that, as he thought, it
should be intimated he didn’t
know how to draw a check.
“You misunderstand me,” said
the teller. “The check’s all
right. I was referring to your
signature. It is just the kind
that a forger takes delight in
copying. If you will allow me
the privilege of saying so. you’re
liable to meet with loss in that
way at any time. Any good
penman could imitate it so clev
erly you’d hardly know the dif
ference yourself.
“The plainer the signature the
less likelihood there is of a crook
trying to imitate it,” he contin
ued after the depositor had be
come interested. “In nearly ev
eay big forgery of which I ever
heard, or in many of them at
least, the signature imitated was
that of a man who wrote with a
flourish or who had some peculiar
type of writing that ordinarily
would appeal to the laity as hard
to imitate. It is a fact that it is
a rare occurrence for a big forger
to attempt to imitate the signa
ture of the man who writes a
plain hand.
‘ ‘Not long ago I had occasion
to tell a friend of mine he stood
a chance of having some forger
get a good sized check in on him.
My friend changed the style of
his signature, and a few days
later he was asked by a bank to
inspect a check which had been
presented for payment and to
which his old style signature was
attached. He had changed just
in time. The forger had been
practicing on the old signature,
getting it down ‘pat’ ‘ and had
not ascertained that the new sig
nature was being used.”—Chi

Dropsy —
Given up by Doctor
“I had dropsy, and was told
by my family physician that
there was no chance for me. My
family also gave me up. My
limbs and body were swollen
one-third larger than natural,
water collected around my heart
and I had to be propped up in
bed to keep from smothering. I
took Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy
until I was entirely cured. This
was in 1902, and I am now able
to do any kind of work on my
farm. My cure was certainly
marvelous.”
L. TURLEY CURD,
Wilmore, Ky.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy has
been wonderfully successful in
relieving heart trouble. Its tonic
effect upon the heart nerves and
muscles is a great factor in
assisting nature to overcome
heart weakness.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy Is sold by
all druggists. If the first bottle does
not benefit, your druggist will return
your money.
