PLEASANT REUNION
HONORS OLD LADY
Happy Gathering Celebrates
Birthday of Lady
88 Years Old.
At the beautiful country home
of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Johnson
of Long Pond, (la., on last Sat
urday, Sept. 27th. Mrs. Martha
Conner celebrated her 88 birth
day, her birthday in reality was
on Sunday, 28th. but out of re
spect for God’s holy Sabbath day
these good people held their an
nual reunion the day before.
Aunt Martha Conner as she is
familiarly known is one of the
old land marks whose life his
tory reaches back to the pioneer
days when traces and memories
of the Red men were still fresh
in the country and minds of the
hardy settlers. Her maiden
name was Sharp, but in early
life she was married to William j
Conner, and together they built ;
their home in the noble pine for
est of old Montgomery county
near Long Pond, and I dare say !
they were very happy in those
good old days while their little
ones played around their fire
side, but the dark clouds of war
hovered over the country and her
brave husband and three oldest
sons marched away at the bugle
call of their country to the field
of battle from which they never
returned.
While the hearts of many
faltered and failed, not so with
Aunt Martha, she stood bravely
by the home William and she had
built and the little ones that were
left around her fire side and
faced the duties of life with that
courage that has immortalized
the women of the old South.
She has lived to see her children
of the fourth generation gather
around the table that was spread
last Saturday beneath the sway
ing l toughs of the noble pecan
tree that Mr. Johnson planted in
his yard many years ago, the
table was loaded with all the del
icacies the imagination of the
ingenious minds of the modern
housewives can invent, and were j
served in the most tempting
manner winsome women can de
vise. The table was surrounded
by grizzled veterans of the lost
cause, snowey haired women of
ante-bellum days, stalwart men
and women in the prime of life, j
cultured and refined young
gentlemen and ladies, rosy cheek-1
ed boys and girls, rolicking kids
of all sizes, all happy and joy-'
ecus, so much so until we were
reminded of what one of Admiral
Schley’s officers wrote home af
ter the battle of Santiago, he
said the battle was so glorious
until it was worth a lifetime of
hard discipline to be there one^
Dr. O. J. Whipple of Uvalda
was a pleasant visitor at The
Monitor office Tuesday. He is a
very agreeable gentleman, and
future calls from him will be
looked forward to.
| Messrs. C. C. Curry, J. E.
Page and Arnold Thigpen, well
known citizens of the Orianna
section, were here Monday.
Mr. Angus McLeod, a prosper
ous farmer of South Mt. Vernon,
was here Tuesday. It is under
stood that Mr. McLeod may be a
candidate for county treasurer,
land his announcement may ap
pear soon.

hour. The joy, peace and happi
ness around that table seemed so
great until we felt like it was
worth a lifetime of hardship to
be there one hour.
Who will behold this picture
and say that the glory of the old
South has departed? It is true
that the old South like all earthly
things has passed away, but the
same people who composed the
old South, the men who made the
armies of Lee and Jackson fa
mous, the women who glorified
mother-hood of by gone years
have stood on the receding sands
of time and built the new South
more glorious than the old ever
knew.
May a kind heavenly father
watch over Aunt Martha Conner
and grant unto her many re
turns of the happy annual birth
day gathering is the wish of all
those present.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, OCT 2, 1913.
ISc COTTON!
Everybody is Looking for It and Predicting It
The World’s Best Authorities Say It Is Bound to Come Soon
Why, then, should not the farmer be made to see this opportunity and make up for his losses for the past
two years!
Why do not the business interests of the towns and cities get together and endeavor to stop the farmer from
sacrificing his cotton!
The South is impoverished today because we allow or compel the farmer to sell all of his cotton within
three mouths, glutting his market and ruining the prices at which he sells.
One bank in South Georgia writes the Southern States Cotton Corpo
our plan for o handling cotton ration that it does not believe in holding cotton, and will not permit the
L farmer to hold it if it can help it, believing that “he should take what is in
to A aav* n s*id U for C< ifc! n per sight.” Early in August some farmers reported to this corporation that

Does He Need Anybody to Protect Him?
We propose to make the world pay the farmer 15c net for his cotton, middling basis. By holding this cot
ton out of the market, every pound of it will be sold for 15c net. The farmer who sells for less is to sit before
the fire this winter and think of the debts he still owes, the children who can’t have warm clothes and have
to go uneducated, the wife who will have to wear last year’s calico at her drudgery, because of his lack of
good sense in sacrificing his cotton after his family helped him to make it.

STOMACH TROUBLE
FOR FIVE YEARS
Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—ln interesting ad
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: "l was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely i would die.
1 tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, 1 could not eat or sleep,
and all ray friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Tbedford’s Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although 1 did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven't had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.
