Funeral of Justice Lamar at Augusta. Washington, D. C., Jan. 3. Aarrangements were being com pleted today for the funeral of Joseph Rucker Lamar, associate justice of the supreme court, who died at his home here last night of gradual heart failure. He was 58 years old, and had he lived un til noon today would have com pleted a service of five years on the supreme court bench. Although Justice Lamar had been ill several months, the news of his death came as a great shock to his associates on the bench. Following custom, the court after meeting today was to adjourn immediately in respect to the memory of the late justice. The burial will be at Augusta, Ga., for many years the home of the late justice. The funeral par ty will probably include his asso ciates on the supreme bench, and will start for Augusta Tuesday afternoon. cl ' ' M ® • % i % 8 | r —’ „ .. *, % © if ® :§ J | is MONTGOMERY COUNTY COURT HOUSE 0 W © One of the handsomest building of its class in the State of Georgia q 0 Complete with furniture and fixtures, its cost ©; 0 practically 560,000.00 , 0, TO 0' ■mwmm> 000000 000000 000000 000000.0.0 0.0 000000 Grand Possum Hunt. i Mr. Howell McLemore took a party of young Mt.

The mighty hunters were Richard Wilson, ; Tom Cockfield, Randal McQueen, | Folsom McQueen and Chester Mcßae, and enough dogs and live negroes to assure a good catch, which was one possum. One boy offered fifteen dollars to be landed back home, another one declared they were in Capt. Hughes’ pasture every time they climbed a fence, two more of I them thought before that possums had feathers and wings, and ' another one thought they were at Thompson’s Bros’ store in Ailey when they came up behind Mr. J. W. Morrison’s store in Mt. Vernon. I Need to be Reminded. I An exchange says: “Many merchants think that their names i are so well known that they do ; not need to do any advertising, j They, however, forget that every year brings into trade a new generation of dealers and but a certain per cent of the older ones. They also forget how easy it is for one to drop the calendar of time or to pass out of recollection unless the cobwebs in memory’s chain are constantly brushed up by keeping one’s name before his friend, the public. The fact of letting the public know that vou are still in trade brings many a grist to the mill that would otherwise stop somewhere else. Men in trade are never too well known to leave their business out of the columns of the news papers. ” Would Be Sure Os Getting Potash. If any salesman now offered me fertilizers containing more than the 1 per cent of actual soluble potash guaranteed in their goods this spring by leading monufacturers, this is what I would do: If I was willing to pay the price and had the cash, j I would put my order in within ( 24 hours, with the understanding that I should not pay for the 'goods until I had received them, ; and that I should have them at : least three months before plant ing time. I should want to hedge in this respect so that in case the goods were not delivered with the high potash offered, I could i turn around and get goods else- I where of a grade which I felt (sure would be delivered.—A j Business Farmer.

He was too big in his own estimation, and too small in that of other people, to tackle a 1 man’s job, so he managed to get a berth as a handwriting expert —addressing envelopes. One day the “boss” came along and found Percy resting, as usual, with his pen lying idle before him. The exasperated man stopped, swallowed his wrath, and then said sweetly: “Look here, Mr. Fitzfilbert, don’t be afraid of that pen. Just lean on it now and then. If it breaks I’ll pay for it.” Sheriff Sale. Georgia Montgomery County. Will bo uold before the court house floor in Mt.
