WILL BRING SETTLERS TO GEORGIA SECTION And Open Up Summer and Winter Resort Near Savannah. Improvement of a 7,000-acre tract situated midway between Brunswick and Savannah, Ga., is being completed by the Fair hope Land Co., owners of the land and in a short time settlers will be.ein to arrive from the North and West and make their homes on the property. The trract is on the Sapelo River, an automobile road be tween Brunswick and Savannah is being constructed by it and it is but a short distance from the main line of the Georgia Cast and Piedmont railroad. The Fairhope Company was incorporated in Georgia and has its headquarters at Cleveland, Ohio. A. H. Holmes is general manager and M. W. Kingsley consulting engineer. The company has subdivided the land into small tracts which are on the market. Beside interesting farmers and fruit-growers, the company plans to make the property a summer and winter resort, and to that end will erect a clubhouse and a hotel. The undertaking is one of the most expensive of the kind in the Southeast. Industrial Index. Planting and Picking Cotton. It is contrary to nature and ac cepted business methods in Geor gia for cotton to be planted and picked at the same time on a farm, yet such was a condition on a farm in Houston county last week. Dr. W. .1. Little of Ma con owns an excellent, farm with in three and half miles of Perry. The year 11)11 closed with at least fifty acres of cotton on that farm from which not a particle had been picked. Within the last three weeks twelve bales of cotton have been picked on that farm. Last Friday, on that farm, the lirst of the 1912 cotton crop was being planted while the last of tin' 1911 crop was being picked. Such a condition has never before existed, and it is sincerely hoped it will never again ln-come a fact. It was un deniably demonstrated last year that it is not profitable to pro duce more cotton than can be gathered during the year in which it was grown. Perry Home Journal, Impracticability. This thing of doing in Rome as the Romans do is not always the best plan, says the Popular Mag azine. If you don’t believe it, Miss Jane Addams, the famous sociological worker of Chicago, will tell you a story to pove it. Miss Addams knew a wealthy woman who delighted in doing works of charity, such assending missionaries to foreign fields, and on one occasion she put up the money to send a missionary to the Caroline Islands. Soon after his arrival on the scene of his ac tivities the religious man sent his benefactress a photograph of himself and wife. Whereupon the rich woman wrote the man of God a letter, suggesting that his wife, in or der to win the confidence of the natives, should throw away her fine clothes and wear the costume of the islands. Two months later she received this answer: "Inclosed is the complete cos tume worn by native women. My wife awaits word from you liefore adopting it. ” The native dress consisted of a piece of woven straw two inches' wide and eight inches long.

Members of the Savannah Presbytery returned last night from Blackshear, after attending a meeting there during the day, at which time it was decided to raise SSO,(XX) for the purpose of caring for the indebtedness of the Blackshear Presbyterian In stitute. The commission, which was organized at Statesboro recently, with Rev. W. Moore Scott, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church as chairman, reviewed the work of the institution last year. The work for the present| year was discussed. With the exception of the indebtedness for which the fund will be raised, the institute is in a flourishing condition. It is the purpose now to extend the scope of the work and make it a co-educational in stitute for the Georgia and Flori da presbyteries. The fund is now being rapidly subscribed. Twenty-one thous and dollars was subscribed by the citizens of Blackshear and a sum j sufficient to increase the amount to S2S,(XX) was obtained from other source. The Presbyterian churches will be called upon to raise the remainder of the sum desired. It is hoped to accom plish this by the latter part of June. Savannah Press. Taft Man Tells A Story. ‘‘There’s a certain politician gallavantin’ around the country just now,” said a dyed-in-the wool Taft man at the Customs House, according to the Louis ville Times, ‘‘who reminds me of an old negro who used to work for my father. He’s bound to he boss. ‘‘Old Ike was given a job one day by father cutting up some wood in the back yard. Dad gave Ike a quarter to do it. Lat er in the day he went out and found the old negro sitting on a stick and directing the work of another black, who was industri ously cutting and sawing. “ ‘Why, Ike,’ remarked dad, ‘didn’t I pay you to do this work ?’ ‘‘ ‘Yassuh, boss, yo’ sho did.’ ‘Well, why aren’t you doing it?’ ‘‘ ‘I giv’ dis nigger 35 cents to do it.’ “ ‘Thirty-five cents? Why so much?’ asked father. ‘Well, boss, it’s dis away: I reckon it’s wuf 10 cents ter be boss once in a while.’ ” Eating to Get Thin. Dr. Woods Hutchinson, the well known physician and writer, was once called upon by a young matron with more than her share of flesh and fat, says Lippin cott’s. She told the doctor that she had read his article on ‘‘Fat and Its Follies” in a popular maga zine. and she wanted him to help her get rid of some of her fat. After a few preliminary ques tions, he handed the lady a diet list, telling her to come back in two weeks. The good doctor’s consterna tion can scarcely be imagined when he saw his patient again. She looked fifty per cent, fatter and weighed twenty pounds more. He was more than puz zled. His list contained no sweets of any kind, nor any fat producers: yet it was putting flesh on at an enormous rate. "You are sure that you ate the things on this list?” the doctor questioned severely. “Yes, doctor,” was the firm answer. "What else did you eat?”- as a sudden inspiration seized him. ‘‘Why, nothing but my regular meals.” was the indignant an swer. For Judge Superior Court: i To the voters of the Oconee circuit: Expressing heartfelt gratitude to you for the ; honor* conferred u|n>n me by you I hereby an nounce my candidacy for nomination as Judge of J the Oconee circuit at the Democratic primary when held. I have served you to the beat of my ability with- « out fear or favor, looking only to the test interest of the people and the enforcement of the law No court has ever been adjourned on my account nor have 1 ever been behind time in opening a court at the appointed time. 1 confidently submit my candidacy asking your ! favorable consideration with an assurance that I » will highly appreciate the same.

MAKTIN. 1 THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1912 I MADE SOME GRAVE BLUNDERS Embezzling Banker Admits He Over looked Missionary Fund and Prop erty of Orphan Child. The embezzling banker’s friends were congratulating him. “How In the world did you keep it up go long without being discovered?” they asked, breathlessly. “My friends,” came an anguished voice from the other side of the bars, “I am unworthy of this laudation. I 1 have been guilty of grave tactical blunders. I failed to have myself I elected Sunday school superintendent, I and I did not show myself at prayer meeting more than once a month. I could have landed a S7OO missionary fund, hut heedlessly I allowed it to slip through my Angers and go to an other. “Resides, I might have become the guardian of some poor, dead million aire’s child. I am ill-deserving of your well-meant, but misdirected, praise. ! My work has been coarse and ama teurish, Indeed, or I could be free this evening to join you In our tri-weekly poker fest. Woe, woe is me!” And they left him weeping bitterly. —H. M. Silvers, In The Sunday Maga zine. WARM REBUKE FOR SARCASM Western Senator Who Made Many En emies Was Given Good Advice by a Friend. For many years there served In the United States senate, from the west, a man of brilliant mind and fine quali ties. hut who was forever estranging many with whom he desired to be friendly by reason of his incurably sar- j castle manner both of speech and ac- ; tlon. Once an Intimate friend wrote the ; senator urging the appointment of an- j other friend to a minor position in the j government. The senator returned a I most sarcastic reply, declining to rec- I ommend the appointment. It is said ] that he never forgot the merited re buke he received from the friend who had suggested the appointment. “My Dear Senator: I think it would be well for you to reserve your sar casm for the rapidly increasing num ber of your enemies, instead of offer Ing It to the decreasing number of your friends, of whom I am one.” Expensive Tree. We do not think much of trees In the United States, and let several mil lion acres of them burn without get- | ting excited, hut In England small lor- j ests, and even individual trees, are j maintained at great expense. If there ; Is not actually an outlay of money, the trees occupy land that could other wise be profitably employed. Probably the most noteworthy tree In the world, so far as expensiveness Is concerned, is a plane tree which grows In Wood street, in the city of j London. This tree occupies a lot which would bring in ground-rent to j tho amount of $1,200 per annum. It says much for tho nature-loving quail- , ties, and,.incidentally, lor the fortune. 1 of the owner of that lot that tho j ancient tree flourishes safely year , after year. Respect Due to Rank. Alice Wenban is a cliff dweller and. as such, accustomed to the where abouts of tho lordly janitor by whose kind permission per people live and have their being. Right across the street they are building another apartment, an ac tivity which greatly interests the j young lady. She spends many hours In the contemplation of the job. The excavation Ailed her with breathless Interest. The foundation proved even more exciting. And now, that tho building Is In a fair state of progress, she is quite beside herself. And she wants to know you know. ; “Mother,” she asked when the i bricklayers began on tho ground floor ! work, “they've built tho janitor's house first. Isn’t that funny?”—Cleve land Leader. Out-Romancing Romance. The diver prowls over the ocean bed bearing a watertight searchlight and a water gun, one shot front which will blow the liver out of an octopus. His helmet telephone (more con venient nnd clear than yours) keeps him In constant communication with the surface and directs his boat. Science has equipped him with a kit of deep-sea tools, operated by pneumatic pressure, with which hi' can accomplish prodigious amounts of work. Altogether, he has a very com fortahle and Interesting time of It. And to think that Jules Verne was considered a hair-brained dreamer! Unimaginative romance! How weak nnd short are threads of your fancy.— Woman's World. What They Both Said. Horace Greeley once wroto a note to a brother editor in New York, whose writing was as illegible ns his own. The recipient of the note, not being nble to read it. sent It back by , the same messenger to Mr. Greeley for elucidation. Supposing it to be the answer to his own note, Mr. Greeley looked over It, but likewise was un able to read It. and said to the boy: “Go take It back. What does the damned fool mean?” “Yes, sir," said the boy; "that is Just what he says.” Well Supplied. Beggar—Please, mister, give me a i dime for my three hungry children.
