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. Sow Beardless Barley.

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. Johnnie. Hon. J. M.

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 <iejiv«r u at w* regular w„iehou*t> or they had sold their cotton for October delivery at 10.55 c per pound.

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.
