THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY. APRTL 17. 1019
Death of Mrs. Oscar
Smith in Atlanta.
Mrs. Oscar C. Smith of Donal
sonville, formerly Miss Eula Mc-
Kay of this city, died at a private
sanitarium in Atlanta Tuesday
night at eleven o’clock. She had
been in a serious condition since
about the middle of December,
when she sustained interna! in
juries from an auto accident that
happened between Donalsonville
and Colquitt, she and her hus
band, both being thrown out of
the car and being caught under
the car.
The death of this good and
noble lady has cast a gloom over
this entire city, as she was a
favorite among her many friends
here, who knew her best, who
knew her finer qualities and
valued her friendship at its true
worth. Her death is doubly sad,
as the death of her brother, Mr.
J. A. McKay, occured only six
weeks ago.
Mrs. Smith was a devoted
member of the Methodist church
in Donalsonville, having moved
her membership there about two
years ago. Her life was one well
spent, and the sweet memory of
her many deeds of love will live
long in the minds of her loved
ones.
She was married on August
16th, 1917, to Mr. Oscar Smith of
Donalsonville, and has lived there
since that time. Before her
marriage she spent several years
teaching in Waycross, where she
made many warm friends. She
is survived by her husband, Mr.
Oscar C. Smith, her mother, Mrs.
Flora McKay, and three sisters,
Mrs. John King and Miss Kate
and Aleph McKay. The funeral
will be held at the house this af
ternoon at 4:30 o’clock, being in
charge of her pastor, Rev. Geo.
Pharr, of Donalsonville, assisted
by Rev. E. E. Rose of this place.
Interment will be in Mcßae cem
etery.
The deepest sympathy of hun
dreds of friends is extended the
grief stricken family.—Telfair

Will Not Condemn State Property.
Atlanta.—The bill to condemn the
Western and Atlantic terminal in
Chattanooga, property of the state of
Georgia, which was pending before
the Tennessee legislature, has been
withdrawn, according to a message
received by C. Murphey Candler,
chairman of the W. & A. commission.
It U understood that the Chattanooga
chamber of commerce withdrew the
bill to condemn this property as the
result of assurances by Whiteford R.
Cole, president of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and St Louis railroad, that
,lhe Chattanooga terminals will be ex
tensively Improved as soon as the
federal government turns the rail
roads back to the owners. If the bill
in question had pased the legislature
and the city of Chattanooga had taken
that portion of the terminals that It
wants, the terminals would have been
praclctdly destroyed. The purpose of
the condemnation proceedings contem
plated by the bill was to open the way
for the extension of Broad street in
Chattanooga.

to Sell for Reinvestment.
State of Georgia— Montgomery County.
After four week's notice published pursuant to
law in The Montgomery Monitor, at Mount Ver
non, Montgomery County, Georgia, anti also in
The Soperton Sentinel, at Soperton, Treutlen
County, Georgia, a petition, of which a true and
correct copy is subjoined, will be presented to the j
Hone able E. D. Graham. Judge of the Superior
Court of said county of Montgomery, at the court
house in Mount Vernon, Montgomery County,
Georgia, on Monday the sth day of May next, 1919.
Mrs. Carrie Peterson,
Guardian for Charlie Peter-on, Johnnie
Peterson and Daisey Peterson.
State of Georgia—Montgomery Caunty.
To the Honorable E. D. Graham, Judge of the
Superior Court of said county:
The petition of Mrs. Carrie M. Peterson respect
fully shows:
1. That she is the guardian of Charlie Peterson.
Johnnie Peterson and Daisey Peterson, minor chil
dren of C. H. Peterson, and all of whom are under
the age of 14 years.
2 That she desires to sell at private sale for
reinvestment the following property, the same
being a part of the personal estate of her said
wards, to-wit:
All of an undivided one half interest in and to
all of that tract or parcel of land situated, lying
and being in the 12215 t, District, G. M.of formerly
Montgomery but now Treutlen County, Georgia,
containing three hundred and fifty (350) acres,
more or less, bounded on the North by lands of the
estate of W. D. Martin, deceased; on the East by
lands belonging to Mrs. W. D. Martin; on the
South by the waters of the Oconee River and on
the West by lands belonging to the estate of W
D. Martin, deceased; and being the same one-halt
interest in said tract of land conveyed to peti
tioner's wards by John D. Durden by a warranty
deed dated the sth day of June. 1918, as shown by
the record of said deed in book No. 23, folio 547 of
the records_ of deeds of Montgomery County.
Georgia.
3. That said tract of land is all unimproved or
wild lands; that it is situated almost w holy in the
river swamp on the Oconee river and is mostly
swamp lands; that the timber has been cut and
removed therefrom and none of said land, or a
very small portion thereof, is suited for farming
purposes, and what is suitable for farming pur
poses would be very expensive to clear and put in
a state of cultivation, and that your petition r
as such guardian is receiving no revenue whatever
from said land; but the same is expensive to
maintain on account of the taxes that petitioner
is forced to pay upon the same.
4. Petitioner desires to invest the proceeds
arising from the sale of said land in the erection
or rebui ding of a brick store house in the Town
of Soperton. Treutlen County, Georgia, located on
the corner of Second and Main Streets and known
as the C. H. Peterson corner, ami being fifty ts<>)
feet front on said Main street and extending ba» k
south 100 feet; which said business lot aforesa d
belongs to the estate of C. H. Peterson who was
the father of petitioner's wards.
5. Petitioner is ad vised and believes that said
store house if erected as aforesaid would yield in
rentals at least the sum of Seventy-Five ($75.00)
Dollars per month.
6. That petitioner is advised by the administra
tors of the estate of C. H. Peterson that it is not
necessary to sell said lot of land in the Town of
Soperton above mentioned, but that if the same j
can be rebuilt and put in condition to bring to
said wards a substantial rental for their support, |
education and maintenance, that the said adminis
trators are then ready and willing to deliver the
possession of the same to petitioner as such guard, !
ian of said wards aforesaid.
7. Petitioner shows further that notice of her
intention to make this application has l«en pub
lished once a week for four w*eeks in The Mont
gomery Monitor (that being the county of peti
tioner's appointment) and also once a week for
four weeks in The Soperton Sentinel (that being
the county where said land lies), both of said
newspapers being the ones in which county ad
vertisements are published for said respective
counties, as required by law.
