The Brisbarne Land Claims are
again claiming the public attention.
Renewed efforts by the Northorp
1 •• rs are expected to be made on
account of a recent decision of the
Court of Appeals. These claims
have been the Bete Noir of our
land owners for the past 10 years,
have cost thousands of dollars to
the present possessors in lawyers
fees and court expenses and the
end does not seem in sight. The
.
entire claims rest upon the faulty
system of land title registration in
use in our states and could all have
been avoided by the Torrens Land
Title system advocated now by the
Leader. We ourselves have spent
several thousand dollars forproper-
ty and in its defence against the
attacks made by and thru the same
tirni ol lawyers, attacking the
claims of these people, in most
cases having been in possession of
their lands for the past 30 or 40
years. The criminal law would
seem to offer the best remedy
against this gigantic land thievery
and the interested parties should
appeal to the Grand Jury for in¬
vestigation and we believe a care
ful, honest inquiry would develop
some interesting evidence. You
have got to tight the Devil with
lire, its his native element.
Skim Milk Paint
uncle Jake Sehroll handed us
the following formula for making
paint, at a very nominal price,, and
he testifies that it is without a
doubt the best and cheapest paint
he has ever used. 1 f you have any¬
thing to paint, try it for yourself
and see. Here it is:
Stir into a gallon of milk about
3 pounds of Portland cement and
ad sufficient Venetian red paint
powder to impart a good color.
Any other colored paint powder
may as well be used. The milk
will hold ttie paint in suspension,
but the cement, being heavy, will
•sink to the bottom, so that it be¬
comes necessary to keep the mix¬
ture well stirred with a puddle
Mix only enough at a time for one
day's use. Six hours after paint¬
ing this paint will be as immovable
and unaffected by water as a month-
old paint being in good condition
after twenty years and it has pro
served the wood admirably. The
addition of carbolic acid or some
other disinfectant makes it v e ry
suitable for dairy work, as it then
has a cleansing effect. -Scientific

Clean Hands
Before starting to clean a ear or
i ?pair any of its parts it is advisa¬
ble to dip the bands in clean oil,
wipe off the surplus and (ill the
fingernails with soap. If this is
done it will be found unnecessary
to resort to the use of strong de¬
tergents. which contain pumic and
alkali, for the cleansing of the
bands, hot water, a nail brush and
soap will be found quite efficient.
Prompt treatment of a minor cut
or bruise with an antiseptic solu¬
tion. formed by hot water from
the radiator, will frequently be
ine means of avoiding later pain.

THE FITZGERALD LEADER. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1911
You Men of BEN HILL and Irwin, who have known
and received the many charities, helps and councils of our
honored Dead, whose Word with you was his Bond:
whose liberality and work for the uplift of his Feliowmen,
was his lmancial undoing, but whom you all loved ior his
Character and for his unimputed Honesty,
Are You going to stand by and allow these graven vultures
t0 tear ,j own the heritage, the sole asset remaining for the
rebuilding of the once established future of the Dear Ones
left behind? Will YOU stand by and have him who lies
with sealed lips, whom you know was the SOUL of HON-
OK, defamed and besmirched by the CAMP-FOLLOW-
ERS, bent upon robbing the wounded and the dead? You’d
arise in arms if some marauder attempted robbery of the
premises now housing his LOVED ONES, bent upon petty
larceny, of things that could easiiy be replaced, but will you
silently pass this Graven Attempt to rob these innocent
children of the priceless heritage left them by their SIRE
after sacrificing all his worldly goods in the battle for Your
betterment and the protection of Your own dear offspring.
You Know his every act was prompted by his one desire
of making this world a little better than what he found it,
You Know his purpose was pure and his motive laudable,
the success in that direction he purchased at the expense of
his fortune and now it is Your sacred duty to protect his
GOOD NAME against this ingenious scheme of thsse
MAURAUDERS.
M, E. Church
Reception
On Thursday evening last Mr.
and Mrs. ,J.A. Justice threw open
the doors of their spacious and
beautiful new home to the entire
membership of the M. E. Church
and other friends including the
ministerial alliance who gathered
to honor the mothers of their be¬
loved pastor and wife Mrs. J. II.
Hammond, of New York, and Mrs.
Evans, of Atlanta. These ladies,
are spending a few weeks with
their son and daughter and it was
a happy thought of some of the
ladies of the church to give all an
opportunity of meeting them. The
reception was quite informal, but
largely attended and thoroughly
enjoyed. Excellent music was
furnished by Mr. Eldred, Mrs.
Owens, Miss Marjory Owens, Mr.
llay Frey and Mrs. DeVald.
Dainty refreshments were serv¬
ed by Mrs. K. Justice, Mrs. C.
Newcomer, Mrs. Whitman, Mrs.
Burke and Mrs. Davis.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl S. Hurst
left this morning for Bronson, Fla.,
where Mr. Hurst lias accepted
position ... cashier ot the : Levey
as
County Bank, having resigned his
position here as assistant cashier
of the Third National Bank. Since
coining here last summer, Mr. and
M rs. 1 1 urst have made many friends
who are loath to give them up.

Plan A FLotaHion For
Your Farm And
Conditions
Now is the time to plan crop
rotations for the farm and while
changes may be made, if necessary,
it will be found most satisfactory
to lay out the fields and plan the
crop rotations so that there will be
system and method in the farming
operations. A lawyer or doctor
may spend weeks studying one
case, why should we not put our
bfcst thought and considerable time
in planning a rotation of crops K for
the farm? Surely the importance
of the matter merits our best
offorts.—Raleigh (N. C.) Progres¬

he was not attached to her, but

The entertainment will be given

In other words, it will be a
Mock Court Trial, and it promises
to be one of the most enjoyable
affairs of many years, as a large
number of our leading people wi'l
participate in the proceedings.
The committee having the trial
in charge have engaged Col. A. V.
Newton, the well known iawver-
lecturer of Worcester, Mass, to
attend to the details and personal¬
