In Loviag Memory Of Alton Branan “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His pur pose.” Romans 8:28. It is indeed hard.for us to sub mit ourselves to this truth when our hearts are sad and wrecked with grief. Yet, a still small voice within is heard to say, “My grace is sufficient for you,” and our hearts give back an answer, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” Such was our experience when, on Friday night, November 4, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cloud Branan and took from them their little son. Alton, age seven, was a pet in the home and with everyone who knew him. With his pleasant smile, sweet disposition and ready word he carried sunshine wher ever he went. This applies also to his school life. His first days being spent in my schoolroom, and I often think how interesled he was, ever ready to do his best. He had been in school one month this year, being absent only the last four days of his life. His report, which was almost perfect, affords much pleas ure to his parents and loved ones. He was sick only four days, and little did his parents think that the end was so near, but alas! God knows best.

Atlanta, Gi'., Nov. 22. —Great changes are pending in the piper currency of the country, according to Atlanta bankers. The “long green”, will soon be made shorter, and other alternations will be ef fected which .'will increase con venience and decrease the likh hood of counterfeit and fraud. Economy, too, enters into the plan. . . The paper from which bills are made is very expensive, it is stated, being prepared by an elaborate secret, process. Under the new plan, according to reports re ceived in Atlanta, a sheet of this paper will be cut into five bills where now it is cut into four. “It is the same sort of homely economy which makes holes in doughnuts and then makes more doughnuts out of the material punched from the hole,” said an Atlanta banker. While this change is being worked out, it is hoped to form a feasible plan, bankers here say, for making bills of different de nominations of different sizes so that a $2 note cannot be raised to a S2O or ass note to a SSO, by clever fingers of the crook or the crooked fingers of the clever. Changes in the engraving on the face and Ihe h ick will add to the difficulty of tampering or counter feiting. “These changes in the form of paper currency are undoubtedly desirable” said a local wag, “but they won’t interest the common citizen very much. All his money is too short, as a rule, and his dif ficulty does not lie so much in bills raisen from one denomination to another as in raising any at all.” OBSERVER * C.-K- > Vrfi * We regret to note the death of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Tingle, which occurred at their home near Locust Grove last Wednesday. She was almost twenty-one months of age, and was the pride of the home. The funeral services were held at the residence Thursday, and was con ducted by Rev. Dan Henderson, after which the remains were laid to rest at Beersheba church. Rev. I. G. Walker has excepted the call of the church at Sharon. He is now giving his full time to the pastoral work of four churches, towit:r-Zion church in Newton countv, Rockdale church in Rock dale county and Bethany and Sharon churches in this county. These four churches are to be congratulated upon having such an able man as pastor and all of his churches are prospering un der his able leadership, Mr. T. E. Shaw, who recently moved his family from McDonough to College Park, spent last Satur day afternoon in McDonough. Mr. Shaw holds a good position with Austin Bros., of Atlanta, and spent last week in the southern part of the state in the interest of his firm and on his return home, stopped over a few hours in his old home town. Dock is just simply a good clever fellow, and his many friends here miss his cheerful voice and pleasant smile.

Westmore land and Mrs. Coppedge acting as joint hostesses. As each lady entered she de posited quite secretly into a bas ket placed on the side verandah for the purpose, a handkerchief for Mrs. Westmoreland, who, with her interesting family, will make her home in Canton, Ga., after Christmas. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. W. W. Carmichael, presi dent pro-tem. Various business matters wore given attention, the'most interest ing of which was the appointment of a cum mil tee t > begin the Work of re-covering the wings for the rostrum in our school auditorium. After the business of the me; t ing had been transacted, Mrs. Westmoreland, noon being urged to do so, very reluctantly, but un suspectingly, occupied a seat in the center of the room. Little Marion Carmichael then brought in the basket of handkerchiefs (27 in number) and presented it to Mrs. Westmoreland. The secretary, Miss Amah Lee Rutherford, read the following: Mrs. Chas. Westmoreland, Hampton, Ga. My dear Mrs. Westmoreland: We wish to express in some slight measure our appreciation of you as a member of the Civic League. By your amibility, fidelity and Christian character, you have won our highest love and esluein. Our associations have been strong, beautiful and stimulating. May you and your family have health and prosperity, wher ever providence may lead you! To this end, we tender you the following: “Recife for a Happy Life ” Three onnees are necessary first of patience, Three of repose and peace: of conscience A pound entire needful: Of pastimes of all sorts, too, Should be gathered as much as the hand can hold : Of pleasant memory and of hope, three good drachms There must be at least. But they should moistened be With a liquor made of true pleas ures which rejoice the heart. Then of love’s magic drops, a few Which make better thy part. Grind the whole and mix there with of merriment, an ounce To even. Yet all this will not bring happiness Except in your orisons, you lift your voice To Him who holds thegift of health. Respectfully and cordially signed, CIVIC LEAGUE, Hampton, Ga. Mrs. Westmoreland responded most feelingly with words and tears (more eloquent than words) expressing her highest apprecia tion. After partaking of excellent sandwiches, pickles and coffee, each guest departed with a happy heart, feeling that she had put into practice the lesson implied in the following poem : Why Jo we wait till ears are deaf Before we speak our kindly word, And only titter loving praise When not a whisper can be heard? Why do we wfeit till hands are laid Close-folded, pulseless, ere we place $2.00 A YEAR HART FARMERS FIND DAIRYING PROFITABLE Mr. T. E. V. White, of Hartwell, Has Practiced Diversification and Received Great Benefits of this System of Farming. * * • • «• ,** One of the farmers least affect ed by the ravages of the boll weevil is Mr. T. E. V. White* of Hartwell, Georgia. For a number of years Mr. White has practiced diversification and received all.the benefits and advantages of this system of farming. He not only has one of the most productive farms in that part ot the state, but has money to run on, plenty to ent at home, apd a home with lights and other modern conveni ences. * Mr. White considers the few dairy cows which lie milks a very important part in his operations. He skys, “I have been working with cows tor six years. I started with four cows and now have nine head, seven are giving milk now. I sold butter at first, but 1 have been selling cream for sev eral years. I like to sell cream better than to make butter. I like business well enough to follow it a while yet, and expect to do a better business in the future than I have in the past. I have a bet ter lot of cows and I am going to feed them better.” Mr. White has.been since 1916 a regular patron of the Georgia State College of Agriculture Co operative Creamery. At times i the prices obtained have run con siderably lower than the lowest of the present year. Mr. White also L9s of things bought with returns from his cows, among them being an acetylene lighting outfit, and a tractor. He gives a great deal of the credit for the fertility of his farm to his cat tle. Before the boll weevil reach ed that territory he obtained a yield of cotton equaled on few farms in the state. ' If more farmers would follow this man’s plan of farming there would be less hard times in the state. This is only one of the many instances where this plan has been and continues to be suc cessful. Yours truly, F. W. Bennett, Associate Professor of Dairy Husbandry. Mrs. Charles Elliott Buried at Hopewell The remains of Mrs. Chas.

A number of friends at tended the funeral. Within them roses sweet and rare. And lilies ill their flawless grace? Why do we wait till ears are sealed To light and love in death’s deep trance, Dear wistful eyes—before we bend Above them with impassioned glance? Why do we wait till hr arts are still To tell them all the love in ours, And give them such late need of praise. And lay above them fragrant flowers? How oft we careless wait, till life’s Sweet opportunities are past. And break our •‘alabaster-box” Of ointment at the very last. Mrs. Lucy p Richards, Principal, Hampton High Scnool,
