}No\v Institution Will Mean Lot
to Farmers of this Section of
the State.—Stock Will Be
Sold to Farmers.
MACON. Ga,, Jan, 2.—A campaign
will be inaugurated this week by
Nick and Alec Block, promoters of the
million-dollar packing ,%l‘tnt to be put
up on the site of the old Acme Brew
ing company, which the Blocks own
ed, to interest the farmers of south
and middle Georgia in the enterprise.
The Block brothers, with John W.
Greer, secretary of the C. L. Brooks
Engineering company, will have
charge of the campaign. In explain
ing its object, Nick Block said yester
day:
“It is our purpose to place several
farmers on the board of directors, Our
only object in selling stock to the
farmers is to interest them in the
packing plant, to give them a personal
interest in its success. By this we
hope to have the co-operation of the
farmers in supplying the plant with
hogs to run on, and we hope, by fur
nishing the plant, to stimulate the
raising of hogs in Georgia, as we be
lieve the farmers of this section will
iflnd they can do so cheaply, and with
great profit to themselves.”

Mr. J. L. Lane, Jr,, Mr. Dick Glover,
Mr. Edgar Lancaster, Mr. Ray Persons,
Mr. J. H. Kelly and Mr. B. E. McEl

Mr. McElheny, who is County Agent
of Jasper, is in the Classic City also
for the Annual Meeting of the County
Agents. This prominent young farm
er, who lives near Monticello, in a
letter to the editors of this paper from
Athens, states that more than one
hundred have already registered for
the short course and as many more
are expected, It bids fair in every
way to be the most beneficial course
of its-kind ever held at the College.
January 17-18-19 there will be a
joint ; meeting at the College of the
Georgia Dairy and Live Stock Associ
ation, Georgia Breeders’ Association
and the Georgia Horticultural Socigty.
For these meetings speakers Jave
been picked from all over the Übjited
States who are recognized the )un
try over as authorities on theso üb;‘
Jects, and beyond a doubt it v withe
one of the most interesting joint -
ings of these Societies ever hC.
the State. The addresses at ‘oplg*'
meetings will ‘be quite instriay '
along the lines of scientific.plant __;l
animal breeding, fruit and vegeta 3 ‘
growing, dairying and live stock Dt{

Reduced round trip rates will be
offered by thé % and a great

Of Martha Jane Niblett, Wife
-of Edmond Niblett. ,1
AT the home of her, daughter, Mrs. E..
C. McKinley; of Gladesville, lhn'
was visiting when taken ill and all
that loving hands could do was of no.
avail.
So, on Tuesday morning, November
21, 1916, at 6 o’clock, the summons
was filled by her spirit taking its
flight. She bore her affliction with the
fortitude of a Christian and was ready
to go.
She was united in marriage to Ed
mond Niblett Deec. 21, 1868. To them
three children were born, Lucy, Isaac
and Pearl. Edmond, her husband, and
Lucy, precéded her in death. In thel
death of Mrs. Martha Jane Niblett the_‘
community has lost a good nelghbor,i
a noble spirited Christian- lady. Oh!
how her presence and counsel will be
‘missed in the home.
~ She united with the Methodlstj
church in early life and was a faithful
‘member to the end. So we say that
earth’s loss in this instance is Heav
en’s gain, She was sixty seven years
old at her death, so we say to chil
dren and grandchildren, mother has
gone on, and will-await your coming.
Let me say in this your sad hour of
bereavement, may God’s richest bene
dictions rest upon you is the wish and
the prayer of one that loves you.
The funeral service was conduct
ed by Bro, Ivey, of Monticello, and the
interment was at New Hope cemetery.

To Memory of Jim Tyler Who
Died November 18th,
EFORE the dawn of another day,
B through the starlit darkness the
Reaper came while he was yet sleep
ing and chilled the brow of an earth’s
beloved and his spirit ushered into
Glory at our Great Commander’s will.
“Death fell upon him like an untimely
frost”-—the ofted-quoted phrase came
involuntarily to the lips of many when
the news was whispered around on the
early morn of Nov. 18th that “Jim
Tyler is dead.” What a legacy he has
left us in the memory of his life lived
80 worthily in bléssed deeds and con
tinual kindnesses to every one with
whom he came in contact.
My tribute is given to him as one of
the truest and most loyal of my
friends. The memory of his smile
which gave an impression of glad:
ness will linger through the years.
He made for himself a place in the
life and the love of people and today
‘he is crowned with the most glowing
rimmortahty, since “To live in hearts
‘we leave behind is not to die”” Alas!
farewell, departed one, with a hope of
assurance that you now reign with the
Mighty One. To the sorrowing wife:
Lay hold on eternal salvation, .
Lay hold on the gift of God’s only
B! son;
Lay hold on His infinite mercy,
Lay hold on the Mighty One!

NUMBER BALES GIN
NED IN JASPER
21, 486 Bales of Cotton Ginned
in this County Prior to Dec.
13, 1916, as Compared with
20,487 Ginned in 1915.
THERE were 21,486 bales of cotton
+ —counting round as half bales—
ginned in Jasper county, from the
crop of 1916, prior to December 13,
1916, as compared with 20,487 bales
ginned to December 13, 1915, according
to the government report which was
given out by the Department of Com
merce, Washington, D. C., December
30, 1026, ..o . ,
* Thus you will see that there was an
increase of 999 bales over the yield in
1915 up to the 13th of December.
While this increase was not as great
as it should have been, the extra num
ber of bales made added quite a good
sum to the till of the farmers in Jas
per county.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
THE Christmas Service of the Sun
day School, which was held on
Christmas eve, was a success. A
large crowd was in attendance. The
pictures were good picturing the birth
of Christ and also describing the visit
of Santa Claus, The real Santa
Claus came in at the close of the
service with his empty stocking and
‘went through the large audience col
lecting for the Christmas ship. He
received $22.00 in his stocking to
which was added later a gift of SIO.OO.
The expense of the service was only
!sz.oo which left $30.00 for the suffer
ers of the Holy Land. This amount
was sent to the Christmas ship and
will bring much relief to that starving
land.
On December 24th Mrs. J. A. Downs'
class of young ladies won the banner
having all their members present. It
was a fine sight to see them all in
their places. We hope these splendid
young ladies will win the banner often
in the future.
Last Sunday services were well at
tended. The pastor preached two
sermons appropriate to the occasion
of the New Year. In the morning his
subject was “The Pilgrimage of Life™
and in the evening “Our latter end.”
At the morning service an offering
was made for the charity work of
Wesley Memorial Hospital and $46.81
was contributed.

ty will meet next Sunday afternoon at
the church. The newly elected offi

Kelly, president of the Woman's Mis

to be present.
The Sunday School will begin the
new year next Sunday with a new
enrollment. We are very anxious to
have every member present, and also
those who will become members. Let
us start the first Sunday of the new
year with a record attendance and
keep it up. There is no greater field
of service for God than that of the
Sunday School.
The Woman’s Missionary Society
will meet next Tuesday afternoon at
the parsonage. The newly elected of
