VOL. XXXVI. TOBACCO SEASON OPENS IN VIDALIA Few Sales are Expected Be fore Next Tuesday or Wednesday. After consultation with the tobacco warehousemen in this section, Mr. J. A. Warren, lessee and manager of the Vidalia To bacco Warehouse, announces that the local warehouse is to open Thursday morning for the season, v However, owing to the fact that none of the buyers have received full instructions from their companies, few sales are expected to be made before Tues day or Wednesday of next week when it is believed buying will be active. A number of buyers represent ing the leading tobacco companies have reached the city and sales will be made every day, with the exception of Saturday, until the crop in this section is sold. Mr. Warren, the manager, sta tes that while there is little de mand for poorer grades of to •bacco and the market for these grades will, be very poor, the better grades will bring good prices, and the farmers who have given proper care to their crops will be pleased with the price they will secure.—Vidalia Ad vance. Kibbee News. Special Correspondence. The morning sun of July 9th, rose with its brilliancy and shone forth gleam by gleam, upon the little village of Kibbee—which i marked a good many anniversa-j ries of protracted meetings in “Old Mt. Pisgah Baptist church, ” that endowed its members and attendants with the word of Christianity, from 1866 up to the present time. Rev. S. D. Wal ker, one of the best country or ganizers, gave to suffering hu manity the best he had. After twenty-nine accessions to the church, which embraces the faith of the old pioneers, the happy meeting closed. Mt. Pisgah has greatly revived and continues to grow in mem bers as well as attendance. So far as attendants remember, this is the first time that the pastor did all the preaching, but the faithful man poured forth the message of the Almighty with 'such force that it called together many of the Master’s lost sheep. The ones that attended the ser vices boast of having enjoyed .the sweetest tranquility imagin able, more so than in any meet ing heretofore, and their voices clamor more and more for the upbuilding of Mt. Pisgah. The good people of our little town and vicinity are enjoying fair breezes and good health and are looking forward to the great harvest that is near at hand. Miss Laura Pierce of Soperton returned to her home Tuesday, after a visit with relatives here. Among those attending revival services at Tarrytown Sunday were, Mrs. G. W.

During the month of June, the Ford Motor Company, through its Detriot Factories and 22 Assem bly Plants throughout the coun try reached the production of 108,963 Ford cars and trucks, setting up a new high record for one month. Production of Ford cars and trucks has been steadily increas ing since early spring, and shows substantial gains over the same period last year. The second quarter of 1921, viz., April, May and June, shows an output of 301,796 Ford cars and trucks against 220,878 for the same three months of last year, or a net in crease of 80,918. Despite the fact, however, that Ford plants have been running at maximum capacity, the de mand for Ford cars and trucks is not being met, and at the pres ent time, many thousand unfilled orders have been piled up ahead so that Ford sales are limited by manufacturing facilities rather than marketing possibilities. Particularly is this true in regard to the enclosed cars, for which the demand has been unusually heavy. One reason cited by Ford Offi cials for the unprecedented de mand for Ford cars is the pres ent tendency toward economy. Many of those whose names have been added to the long list of buyers might well have afforded larger and more costly cars than the Ford, but it is the belief that most prospective motor car buy ers are investigating all of the costs incident to motoring more carefully than at any period dur ing the past five years. The estimated output of the Ford factories for July calls for ! 109,000 cars and trucks, or a pro duction of 4350 cars a day for 25 days. Since the assembling of cars is being handled during an eight hour day only, the hourly ! output will be 545 cars. In other words, one Ford car or truck j leaves the assembling line every j six and one half seconds. Examination for Teachers To be Held July 29-30 The regular state examination for teachers will be held the 29th and 30th of July, beginning at 9 o’clock each day. Please let all those who contemplate taking the examination be on ■'hand prompt ly at that time. T. B. Conner, C. S. S. H D Lee 12th District Dentists , In Mt. Vernon Today. Due to the excessive rains Pres. J. R. Franklin of Hawkinsville and Vice-Pres.

Dr. Mingledorfl' ! of Dublin replied to these ad dresses: Routine work was then taken up. Dr. Darby read an interest ing paper entitled, “The Value of the Country Dentist to a Com munity”. He discussed the ab solute importance of oral hygiene in an unusually intelligent way. In urging that oral hygeine be taught in the Public schools, Dr. Darby struck a responsive chord in every medical man present. The discussion that followed was active and helpful. Drs. Jordon. Huie, Donaldson, Mingledorff and Allison taking part. At 1:10 o’clock the meeting ad journed with the benediction of Dr. Brewton.

Youth Is Drowned In Gasoline Tank. Bainbridge, Ga., July 19.—Alex : Berry, a sixteen-year-old boy, was drowned in a gasoline tank at the Texas Oil Company yester iday afternoon. In taking his af ternoon measurment, the boy dropped his pencil in the tank and swung down to reach for it. Finding himself about to be over come by the fumes, he called for aid to a small boy who was with him. His weight was too much for his little companion, however, and when help afterward arrived and Berry was drawn to the top of the tank with a piece of wire, he was found to be dead. Alex Berry was the first grandson of Dr. V. Berry, one of the oldest j physicians in the city. Oak Grove Dots. Special Correspondence. Quite a number from here at tended the Sunday School Con vention at Hack Branch last Wednesday. Miss Julia Register was the guest of Miss Annie Reynolds, Sunday. Herbert and Hershel O’Brien visited friends and relatives be low Alston Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. D. S. O’Brien spent Sat urday with her mother, Mrs. J. T. Walker. Several from this section ac cepted the invitation to the en tertainment at Sharpe Spur Thursday night. It was given by the Sunday School and was en joyed bv a large number of peo ple. The revival meeting began I there Thursday night of last I week and is still’running. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lett of Brunswick are visiting relatives in this section. Mrs. M. A. Peterson visited Mrs. Branch Saturday afternoon. Sunday School nejct Sunday at 3:00. All are invited to attend. Revival Services Glenwood Methodist Church, j Protracted services which be- j gan at the Glenwood Methodist church Thursday. Julv 14th, are well attended by the people of that community. Rev. Chas. Lane of Macon is doing the preaching, assisted by the pastor. Rev. A. G. Brewton. The music is conducted by Mr. E. H. McNeill instructor of mu sic in the Academy for the Blind, Macon. He is a musician and singer of note, and this feature is both pleasing and uplifting. Mr. Lane is a man of unusual force and spiritual gifts. The meeting will continue through Sunday. May Create Commission To Dispose Os Mansion. Atlanta, Ga.—Creation of a public property commission to dispose of the governor’s mansion and to provide a suitable home for the chief executive, is sought in a measure which is now be fore the Legislature. The hill names the governor, secretary of State and the attorney general to compose the commission and places a valuation of .$500,000 on the present mansion property. The commission is authorized to sell or exchange this property and is limited to an expenditure iof SIOO,OOO in providing a suita ble residence for the governor. The remaining MOO,OOO goes on the state’s bonded debt. Montgomery Co. Farmers Shipping Watermelons. Messrs. H. J. Wright and A. L. Lanier have received returns from a carload of watermelons recently shipped, which brought them in a fair return. These two gentlemen have large patch es of this juicy product, and state that before the season is over they expect to ship several more cars. Mr. J. J. Evans, another farm er, who who resides on Mr. Wright’s place, has a large crop of melons, and The Monitor is indebted to him for the largest and finest melon seen this season. It is possible that the raising of melons could be made more profitable to many of the farmers jin this section if facilities for marketing were improved, and it may be that from this begin ning, an industry started by ; these progressive farmers, will j solve the boll weevil problem. NO. 15. FALL TERM OF BREWTONTARKER Prospects Bright for Opening Date —Will Have Strong Faculty. The Brewton-Parker Institute will open on August 30th for the next term. As is generally known, several of the teachers of last year have decided not to re turn. President Barrett has been making strenous efforts to find just the right teachers to fill the several positions, and has suc ceeded in securing all the corps of teachers except the one for the Expression Department. It will be a matter of gratifica tion to those who know the work of the faculty for the past two years to learn that Miss Elizabeth Lee will again have charge of the Piano department, and that Mrs. Tyler will return for the de partment of Stringed and Wind Instruments, and that Miss Eth ridge will again head the Home Economics department. Miss Lillian Douglas of Camilla, who has taught at Ellaville for two years and whom an effort was made to secure last year for Brewton-Parker, will teach math ematics. Mr. W. C. Holley of • Alabama will have the work in English and Mr. W. H. C. Dudley of Mississippi will have charge of the work in Science. More time will be given by the president next year to the school room work and this will enable the faculty to divide the History classes among themselves without the extra teacher. Mrs. Earl Con nally of Stockbridge, Ga., will have charge of the dining hall and kitchen. She has been serv ing in a similar capacity of late in a sanitarium at Commerce, Ga. The correspondence and per sonal talks concerning the atten dance of boarding students for another year is more encourag ing than it had seemed that the financial conditions would justify. There have been inquiries from a number of prospective ministe rial students and their pastors, and it seems that there will be a larger attendance of ministerial students this year than last year. There is undoubtedly a strong er feeling of confidence now for the future of the school than there has been for several years. The citizenship of the territory, not only local but the outlying, are giving expressions of renew ed interest and loyalty which means hearty support. Some are voluntarily declaring that* they expect to have their sons and daughters hereafter to take their high school work at Brewton- Parker. ; House Committee Against Creating Peach County. Atlanta, July 20. (Macon Tele graph Bureau)—The House com | mittee on Constitutional Amend ments this afternoon “killed | Peach county, world without lend,” to (juote one of the com mitteemen.
