S. of Tarrytown Baptist Church. Whereas, an allwise and ever merciful Providence has seen fit to remove from our midst and from the membership of the W. M. S. of Tarrytown Baptist Church our much beloved sister, Mrs. H. W\ Warnock, who, for a part of her life, was a consistent member of the Baptist Church. 1 She was kind-hearted and always willing to help those in distress. She was a consecrated worker in her church, Sunday School and Society. May we all be inspired j by the influence of her noble life that when we are called to go our work will l>o well done as hers. Therefore be it resolved: 1, That, while we bow in hum ble submission to the will of our Father, we feel very much the loss of one of our most faithful members, but pray the Father to help us to realize that our loss is her eternal gain, and that we may feel more determined to fol low more closely Him who doeth all things well. 2, That, while our hearts go (out in sympathy to the grief ! stricken family, we pray that God may sanctify this affection to | their good, and that this may he j one more tie to draw them nearer their blessed Saviour. 3, That a copy of these resolu tions be spread on our records and one sent to the family of the deceased. Also, one copy be sent to The Montgomery Monitor and to The Christian Index for publication. Mrs. M. E. Burns, Mrs. W. L. Snow, Mrs. J. J. Calhoun, Committee. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SEPT. 5, 1912. A Misfit Sausage. A drunken man broke a bunch of steins in a Chicago case be cause he was in a playful mood, says the New York Mail, When he was arraigned in court he said his name was Nichols Smith. There was something in the way he said it that the judge believed an awful mystery was being kept from the light. And the jurist’s intution proved right. “I don’t believe your name is Nichols Smith at all,” the judge said. “Now tell me what your real name is before I send you to jail.” The man looked beseechingly at the judge, and then, as if he were confessing a great crime, he said in chest tones that sound ed like a whisper from deep cav erns: “My name is Sausage Nichols Sausage.” Then Sausage related this: “I came to this country seven years ago. Over in Germany Sausages move in the very first society, and I had no reason to be ashamed of it. But in this country I suffer ed greatly on account of my name. 1 went home one night and thought it over. The next morning when I woke up my name was Smith.” He should have changed his name to Sirloin Steak, and then everybody in America would have had to look up to him. Land Activities. There are ample indications that the coming Fall will be the most active season in the pur chase of lands in the Southeast in the history of this section. The volume of land transac tions throughout the Summer have been unusually large, and there has been a notable number of purchases of tracts for sub division. Prospecting parties are begin ning already to come into the Southeast to inspect lands, and before many weeks such parties will be coming from almost every section of the country, as indi cated by announcements that are being made continually. The fact is that prospective buyers throughout the country are coming to understand in a measure thut in no other section of the country can desirable land l>e bought at such low prices as in the Southeast. Climate and residential conditions considered, there is practically no compari son. As cheap comparatively as land is in the Southeast, it is being demonstrated almost daily that land prices in this section are in creasing constantly, and natural ly so, with the development of the Southeast. There will never l>e a time when land in the South east can be bought so cheap as now.—lndustrial Index.

The justice of the peace was in the South, and a marked state of ignorance, says the Popular Magazine, lie was approached by a man desiring a divorce, and he did not know what to do. flailing a friend to his side, he whispered: “What's the law on thisp’int?” : “You can’t do it,” was the re ply. “It’s out of your jurisdic-. tion.” The husband, observing the consultation and feeling keenly his desire to escape from his mat-1 | rimonial woe, explained: “I’m willin’ to pay well; got the money right here in this | sock.” At this the justice assumed his gravest judicial air. Obviously, he was deeply pained. Never before in all his life had he been so bowed down by grief. “You knew before you came here,” he said sadly, “that it wasn’t for me to separate hus- j band and wife, .and yet you not| only take up the valuable time of this court by talking, but you actually propose to bribe me with money. Now how much have you got in that sock?” “About six dollars and a half, your honor.” “Is that so? Then I fine you five dollars for bribery and a dol lar and a half for taking up my time with a case out of my juris diction; and may the Lord have mercy on your soul:” sor 0 doses “666” will cure any case of Chills and Fever | Price, 25c.
