PIONEER WOMAN IS
CLAIMED BY DEATH
MOTHER OF MR. JOHN A. TAYLOR
AND ONE OF THE PIONEER
WOMEN OF THE COUNTY.
BURIAL THURSDAY.
Mrs, Rebecca Taylor, wife of the
late Phentron Taylor, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. P. F. Hutchins,
in this city last Wednesday at the
age of 78 years, and was buried in
Vvestview cemetery Thursday after¬
noon, Rev. M. P. Jackson, pastor of
the First Baptist church, conducting
the funeral services.
Mrs. Taylor was a life time resident
of this county, having moved here
f ’om Morgan at an early age. She
was the wife of the late Phentron
Taylor, who was killed in the Confed¬
erate army in 1864. She was the
mother of Mr. John A. Taylor and
Mrs. Frank Hutchins of this city and
of Mr. Toni Taylor of Atlanta,
Mrs. Taylor was a womoiv loved by
every one who knew her and number
cd her friends by her acquaintances,
All her life she had been doing good
for others, and she had always lived
a strictly Christian life. While she
bad been in feeble health for some
time her death was a shock to both
relatives and friends. The sympathy
of the entire community is extended
the bereaved family.
NEWBORN’S MATRON CLUB.
The members of the Matron’s Club
of Newborn, took upon themselves
last Wednesday afternoon to surprise
Mrs. J. D. Milton, their pastor’s wife,
by giving her a Linen Shower.
These ladies, who number about
twenty, are above the average in the
way they do things. When the
shower came it almost became stormj
for the sheets, pillow cases, towels,
scarfs for dressers, and washstand,col
la is, ties, handkerchiefs, workbags,
trimmings and so on, came so fast
that the receiver was dumb and was
too surprised to speak. And let me
say, this isn’t the first time this has
occurred; for on the anniversary of
their wedding two years ago, the
shower came in the way of silver,
such as spoons, folks, knives, etc.
Need I not say that their memory
will ever be cherished by her, and her
prayer will be that God will bless
and keep them and cause His face
to shine upon them. * * *
COVINGTON, GEORGIA, FEB. 8, 1911
FARMERS URGED
TO MEET HERE
SEED CORN DAY WILL BE THE
EVENT FOR FEBRUARY 23.—
COWN AND GENTRY WILL
BOTH BE HERE.
There will be a large gathering of
farmers in this city on the twenty
third day of the present month for
the purpose of hearing lectures and
'learning of the importance of the se¬
lection of seed corn, i
Farmers from all pver the county
and others interested in farming are
urged to attend, and those who care
to do so are invited to bring samples
of their planting corn and have it se¬
lected by an expert.
Messrs. E. Gentry and S. M. Cown
will both he here as will also others
from the department afe- Washington,
ihe boys are especially invited to
attend this meeting as it is the pur¬
pose of local agent J. Z. Johnson, to
organize a Boys Club in the county
(luring the present spring. Such clubs
are progressing and prospering all
over the country and much good is
being accomplished. Lectures will be
delivered at the meeting here by
Messrs. Gentry and Cown and Prof.
Barry H. Stone of Oxford. All these
gentlemen are well posted when it
conies to the selection of seed, culti¬
vation and gathering of corn crops,
and their talks will be well worth
jour while to attend.
All parties in the county owning
Percheron mares are requested to
bring them to the city on that day,
as it will tend to increase interest
in this industry. 1
Following is an extract from let¬
ters sent out from the department
regarding corn culture and selection
of seed; ♦
“The corn crop is one of the
South's greatest assets and every
Southern farmer should be interested
; n any sensible means of increasing
the average yield per acre in this
section; and, especially, should ev¬
ery Georgia farmer be interested in
any means of increasing Georgia’s
average yield of that little pitiable
14.3 bushels per acre. Georgia has
produced the second largest yield of
corn per acre of any state in the
union, yet she stands near the bot¬
tom of the row of corn producing
states in her yearly average yield per
acre; so let us come together for a
day’s study and help to work our the
plans for making this average yield
30 bushels per acre.
“Professor E. Gentry an-d his assis¬
tants in the demonstration work, will
meet you (farmers) at the place and
date mentioned and gladly discuss
with you the plans for this- purpose.
Bring with you ten ears or more of
your seed corn for testing,
and judging; also have your question
box full and be prepared to make
the discussions interesting, and carry
back a cranium full of information
gathered from the ideas of other far¬
mers and these men who have made
a life-study of this work.”
Card of Thanks.
We desire to express our sincere
thanks to the people who were so
k nd and attentive to us during the
recent illness and death of our moth¬
er, Mrs. Rebecca Taylor. We appre¬
ciate their set vice and possibly, some
time, may be able to repay their kind
r.css.
Very truly,
’ JOHN A. TAYLOR.

MAYOR’S MATINEE
DRAWS BIG CROWD
NUMBER OF VIOLATORS UP FOR
ADJUSTMENT OF OFFENSES.
TIGER CAUGHT AND FINED
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
The mayor’s court Monday morning
was the largest during the present
year, seven offenders being up for
their medicine. The most important
one of the cases was that of Wash
Roberts, charged w-ith keeping whis¬
key illegally, with intent to sell it.
It seemed from the evidence submit
:ed that he had been under surveil¬
lance for several years, but always
managed to be without the goods
when the policemen ran in on him.
This time however, he had it and
was immediately arrested. He stated
♦ hat he had never sold a drop, but
as they were trying him for storing
it. the evidence was sufficient to war¬
rant a fine of $100, w r hieh was given
hun.
Several small negro boys were up
for reckless riding bicycles and were
fined a dollar each, with costs. Two
other negroes were up for plain
drunks and were given fines of five
dollars and costs each.
Mr. Porter Barnett was up for ex¬
ceeding the speed limit on a motor¬
cycle, but from the evidence an-d from
Mr. Barnett’s statement it was found
tiiat with the machine -he was riding
it was impossible to stay within the
limit, and he stated that he had de¬
cided to get rid of it. Under the law,
however, Mayor protein Everett was
compelled to place a fine of five dol¬
lars on him, but by a suggestion of
Mayor Smith the fine was to be re¬
mitted when )he sold the machine.
Owing tot the large crowd of wit
r-csses the mayor’s court had to be
held in the main auditorium at the
court house. i

SENATOR TERRELL
PARTIALLY PARALYZED
SENATOR IS VERY WEAK AND
HIS RECOVERY WILL BE VE¬
RY SLOW. POSSIBLY OUT
FOR REST OF TERM.
Washington, February 8.—It is ve¬
ry doubtful if Senator Terrell will be
able to return to the senate again
during the present term of congress,
which expires March 4. The attack
j f partial paralysis- which he suffered
in his office yesterday, has left him
very weak, and his recovery will be
s’ow. I
In many iaspects the attack was
similar to that from which Senator
Tillman suffered on the steps of the
capital last winter, and which left
him weakened for several months.
No statement has yet been issued
by Dr. George Ruffin, who is. attend¬
ing Senator Terrell. The physician
calls every three hours.
Senator Terrell rested very well
after midnight. Mrs. Terrell was at
hospital throughout the night.
The attack, which came upon Sen¬
ator Terrell so suddenly and unex¬
pectedly, affected his right 9ide more
tn&n the left, which accounts for his
having been able to use the tele
pnone to call Representative Gordon
lee to his assistance. No one was
in the office at the time, Senator
Terrell having urged his secretaries
to take two or three hours off from
i he office after their arduous and
exacting week’s work.
Numerous telegrams of inquiry and
expressions of concern have been re¬
ceived by Mrs. Terrell during the
day from all parts of Georgia. The
George Washington University hospi¬
tal, where c.-nator Terrell is lying ill,
is just two blocks from the Cochran
hotel, where lie has apartments.
Her appearance here will be quite a
treat for our people, and no doubt
she will have a capacity house.
Miss Branan comes to this city un¬
der the auspices of the Library Asso¬
ciation, and a per cent of the door
ieceipts will go towards the erec¬
tion of the handsome new library
building the ladies are making pre¬
parations to build. The reading will
be held at the auditorium and the ad¬
mission prices are, reserved seats,
35 cents; general admission, 25 cents.
The public generally is extended a
cordial invitation by the Association.
