Wants No Speeding On Country Roads Atlanta, Nov. 20.—Automobil ists who violate the speed laws were held to be a serious injury to the cause of good roads, by William G. Sirrine of Greenville, S. C., addressing the fourth an nual convention of the Southern Appalachian Good Roads Associ ation here this afternoon. “Nothing awakens the antag onism of country people more than the speeding of automobiles on the roads,” said Mr. Sirrine, “and until we get the farmers of the South kolidly behind the good roads movement wo will never attain our just progress. The roads were intended for all, the man in the ox cart as well as the man in the automobile, and the former does not believe he should be chased into the ditch in order to get out of the way of the speed devils.” Following 1114’ address, John (’raft, president of the Alabama Good Roads Associations, told the convention he was in favor of tjie adoption of resolutions con demning the speeding of auto mobiles on roads. It is expected that the resolutions committee will report a resolution condemn ing speeding. Fiight addresses, dealing with the road conditions in the differ ent states in the South, were made this afternoon. Among the speakers were William G. Sirrine, South Carolina; R. J. Freeman, Georgia; John Craft, Alabama, and John G. Greer, . South Carolina. Shot Man For Deer. Skowhegan, Nov. 23.—0 n a charge of "shooting a human be-> ing for doer,” William Wilding, an Indianapolis railroad conduct or. who was arrested after War ren Holden' had been killed re cently in the woods near the Canadian line, was held yester- ; day for the December term of j the court. Wilding furnished bail. Holden, according to the testi-i tnony adduced today, started out doer hunting simultaneously with Wilding and others and was to have kept on another side of the j moutain from the Wilding party.' Instead, however, he worked j around to a point in front of them, and Wilding seeing some thing brown moving in the bushes, fired the fatal shot Work for Legislators. The members of the next Geor gia Legislature have seven j months to stndy the big ques tions to be settled when the legislature assembles next sum-1 mer. Let them put in the time studying the tax system and the best way in which the tux laws of the state may be so revised as to give Georgia a tax system that will provide enough money to pay off what the state owes its common school teachers, as well as to provide for the prompt pay ment of all its obligations to tnem in the future. This is the big question before the next Legi slature, and we hope that body j will have the wisdom to find a solution and the nerve to put it i into effect.—Athens Banner. Mr. and Mrs. Homer V.

A paragraph in the last issue ■ of this paper stated that one pe can tree in this county, which was planted by a school girl a few years ago, had this year pro duced sixty pounds of pecans. Soon after the paper was circula ted, one of the most highly es teemed ladies of Sandersville called the editor over the phone and stated that she had read the notice, but could send in a better report from a tree in her yard, ’ which this year produced more 1 than one hundred pounds of pe- I cans. Two years ago, the yield i was one hundred pounds, but last year, which was not a favorable i one for this crop, the yield was not so great. When asked what ■ year the tree was set out, she stated that it came from a nut that was planted in 1894, which was eighteen years ago. Besides affording ample shade for the back yard, the tree pays a hand some dividend each year. This tree is located almost in the centre of Sandersville and shows what can be done. Peo ple in all parts of the county can > raise all of the pecans they want j by either setting out the trees, |or planting the nuts. They are i now commanding 20 cents a ! pound, while the larger varieties j sell at 50 cents to SI.OO. There is always a good demand for them.—Sandersville Georgian. What He Voted For. A colored damsel was watch j ing the progress of an election from a convenient fence corner, says Judge. "What they votin’ fur. Miss I Mattie?” * “For President,” replied the mistress. "At least for the men who will elect him.” “But what they votin’ fur?” "Oh, you mean who? Mr. Wilson is running against Mr. I’aft. Now, if you’re a Repub-, lican ” ! “That ain’t it, neither. ’Pears; like white folks gits things aw ful mixed. I mean just what they votin’ fur? Last ’lection j 1 pappy he voted fur a barrel of ; Hour. _ ( Lincoln’s Chin-Fly Story. A certain amount of trouble is I a good thing. Lincoln used to illustrate the point with a story about a “chin fly,” says Judge. It seems that once a man was plowing with a very laay mule. Suddenly the mule lifted its head, switched its stump of a tail and went across the field at a rapid walk and with most unus ual energy. Reaching the end of the row, there was a man on the fence. When the mule and man came up the fellow got down, walked over to the mule and hit him a slap on the jaw. remarking, "Well, I killed him that time!” "Killed what?” “Why, that chin-fly!” “Well, you interfering fool, I wish you would mind your own business. That chin-fly was the . only thing that made this mule 'go!” t THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR THURSDAY, NOV. 28, 1912 What One Farmer Learned. I have been farming all my life, and am now 53 years old, and I have just awakened to the necessity of selling my produce, and of buying household and farm supplies more economically. During all these years I have been shipping my surplus pro duce to commission men in the cities, or taking it into the near by market, and dumping it off on the retail men at any kind of an old price. In the early spring I began to take in sweet pota toes, housed over from last year, also cabbage, and was selling potatoes for 60 cents per bushel, which I considered a fair price, and small cabbage at $1 to $1.50 per 100 heads. While Iv. uld be j unloading I noticed the middle i man or huckster would be selling potatoes for 25c. to 30 cents per peck, and the very same cabbage i ; I was unloading at five cents for ! choice, or two smaller ones for five cents or three medium ones for ten cents. It occurred to me that if* cus tomers would come to the stall and buy at these prices, that I might take my produce to the customers’ doors and get the same price. I made a trial of the j next load I took in, and was so successful that I have not unload ed on the middleman since. By spending from two to four hpurs more in driving through the city, I find I increase the amount of cash taken in from each load from $5 to SB. I find this plan has another bright side to it. I can market off perishable fruits and vegeta bles that the middleman could not handle because he would be overstocked. For instance, just this fall, there has been an extra crop of Keifer pears in this sec tion. I had no trouble in selling mine to the consumer for 25 cents per peck. At the same time I would see farmers hauling them in to the middleman for 50 cents per bushel and would say they were glad to get that price, as it was too much trouble to peddle them around town. Others would let theirs rot on the ground or feed them to hogs, as they could I find no sale for them. Had I not caught the idea of being a retailer, I would have done .like , ! my neighbors. 1 know 1 can realize from 25 to 100 per cent more for my pro duce by this method than I have been doing heretofore.—G. L. Hardison, in The Progressive Farmer. Notice to Public. This is to forewarn all parties against buying three certain yoke of oxen now in the possession of J. N.

Adams and wife was made happy by the | arrival of a bright, sweet little girl, who was christened as Mat-! tie E. A lams. As time 'went on ! this little girl gn w into woman- j hood and on July 9th, 1899, she j j became the accomplished wife of j D. M. Beder.baugh. To this union rive little children came to bless father and mother and to mahe < Uu- world better by their having 1 lived. On 0 - her the 25th, 1912, • : this accomplished, sweet and at-; tractive mother and wife fell on sleep. God said to her, * Your mission in life has neon filled, you are needed in the Heavenly World, close your eyes in Blessed Rest and come unto me.” She ; did as she had always done, j obeyed her Master’s command and after bidding her loved ones a fond adieu she joined the an- ; gels in the "Glory Land” where : tin re is no more parting, no more heart aches, no more death, but where all is peace and sweet con ter.tn ent i - th "Land beyoni the sky” where the soul doth never die. Mrs. Badenbaugh died in Lake hand, Fia., and was buried in, Glen wood cemetery amidst a host ; of sorrowing and tear-stained; friends. There never lived an Adams in Montgomery countv more beloved than Mattie E. She was jovial, bright hearted, i sweet tempered and very re- 1 ‘ ligiously inclined and to know her was to love her and honor her. She leaves a father and mother, | four heart broken brothers, three heart-aching sisters, a heart crushed husband and five little children to mourn her untimely death. It seems hard to say "Good-bye” to precious Mattie, hut we must not complain for our God is too wise to make a mistake and too good to he un kind. Some "Sweet Day” we , will all understand that it was j God’s Divine Plan to take dear I : little Mattie by the hand and lift j her into the Heavenly Regions | where the angels shout and sing j and where sweetest music doth i forever ring. She was gloriously converted I in early life and joined the Meth j odist church. She was a consis ! tent member until death and will |be missed very much indeed by ! the Christian people in Lakeland, Fla., and in Montgomery county. Let us not mourn over the de mise of sweet Mattie. Let us prepare tq, meet her in heaven where father and mother, broth ! ers and sisters and husband and 'dear little children will meet in i God’s own appointed time and | where tin y will all live as angels ! around the throne of God singing i and shouting praises to the "Great ; I am.” Os course the five little orphans will never know the love of a mother, and the bereft and heart broken husband wall never be blessed with the queenly assis tance of his noble, true and fond wife in the proper rearing of his | precious little babies, but angel | Mattie will ever beckon him and them, as well as all loved ones, from the "Glory Heights” and he as a Vestal Fire to them to live for higher and nobler things in this life and to prepare for the sweet meeting in Heaven at the end of life’s little span. May the love, mercy and hovering wings of the "Blessed Redeemer” lever he with all bereft ones and finally lead them home with Hap py Mattie in that "Land of Bliss” far away and above such a world as this.
