IN MEMORY
On Monday, April 3, 1916, God
saw fit in His intinite wisdom to
take from us our beloved one,
Mrs. H. D. Taylor. Her death
was not unexpected for she had
been in bad health for quite a
while, but God saw fit to relieve
her of her suffering. All that lov
ing friends and relatives and kind
physician could do was of no
avail. She leaves four children,
two sons and two daughters and
several grand-children to mourn
her death.
How we miss thee from our
home, dear grandmother ;
A shadow over our life is cast.
We miss the sunshine of thy
face.
We miss thy kind and willing
hand, |
Thy kind and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Through all pain at times she'd
: smile, ;
A smile of heavenly birth
And when the angels called her
home
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our
treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to lin
ger
Where our saintly grandmother
- sleeps,
Precious darling, she has left us,
Left us, yes, forever more,
But we hope to meet our loved
one
On that bfight and happy
shore. :
Lonely the house and sad the
hours
Since our dear one has gone;
But, Oh, a brighter home than
ours
In heaven is now her own.
Dearest grandmother, thou hast
left us,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But ‘tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled
When in heaven in joy to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
Farewell, dear grand-mother, but
not forever;
There will be a glorious dawn,
We shall meet to part no never,
On that resurrection morn.
Though thy darling form lies
sleeping 2
In the cold and silent tomb,
“Thou shalt have a glorious wak
ing
When the blessed Lord doth
come,
Written by her grand-daughter,
SULA PEAVY.
The police force has received
‘their summer headgear. These
caps look nice and, being so much

better.
Goes to Supreme Court on Bill
of Exceptions from Early
Colquitt, Ga., May I.—The
contempt case wherein D. W.
Jamies; of Blakely, was adjudged
1p contempt by Judge -W. D.
Worrill, was Saturday taken to
the superior court on a fast bill
of exceptions by tine attorney for
Mr. James, Billie B. Bush, who
has been representing him for
some time.
Judge Worrill signed the bill
of exceptions whiie sitting at the
Miller superior court here. |
James contends that he was en
titled to a jury trial on the ques
tion of contempt and that he had
fully purged himself when he de
livered to the receiver of the
Bank of Blakely all of the Helen
Lumber Company notes that he
had and made a showing for the
proceeds of the balance.
The- fast bill- of exceptions will
be heard by the supreme court, so
Attorney Bush states ,on the 25th
day of May- :
Mr. James, it seems, made every
effort to stay out of bankruptcy
proceedings until it was inevit
able. Mr. Bush secured at one
time an order from Judge Worrill
revoking the receivership for the
Bank of Blakely by giving a bond
to pay the debt of the bank, and
it was thought that the affairs of
Mr. James had been satisfactorily
arranged, but the bondsmen be
came dissatisfied and this threw
the bank back into the hands of _
a receiver, ;
~ The receiver now appointed for
Mr. James was made on the part
of Mr. James through his attor
ney, who on account of engage
ments in Miller superior court, in
assisting the state in the case of
R. E. Fudge, charged with mur
der, got Moss, Smith, Hammond
&Smith, of Atlanta, to present the
petition to Judge Newman.
Mr. Bush will attend United
States court in Columbus this
week' to look after the receiver
ship case and adjudication of Mr.
James.
It is stated that Mr. Bush will
likely institute habeas corpus pro
ceedings before Judge Newman
and endeavor to have Mr. James
released from jail. In the mean
time the contempt case will still
be before the Supreme Court of
Georgia.

WESTON FARMERS
“All Cotton” Method Is Back
Number in That Section
Weston, Ga,, May I—Last
week the progressive farmers of
this section shipped another car of
hogs and cows. This is the sec
ond car within the last ten days
to be loaded here. The shipment
last week weighed 24,000 pounds
and was purchased by the Met
calf Live Stock Co., of Camilla,
for different markets, |
l The farmers here are very pro-l
gressive and are fast coming to
the front as ideal business men.
They have learned that the old
system of “all cotton” was a bad
one and much attention is being
paid to other crops, and hogs and
cattle. It is believed that farm
ers in this section are in better
shape from a dollars and cents
standpoint than they have been
for years.
Another carload of hogs and
Cows wil be shipped from here
this week.
GERMANY’S REPLY WILL
LIKELY MEET DEMANDS
Berlin, May I.—Future Ger
man-American relations probably
can be looked forward to with less
apprehension.
The Associated Press is permit
ted to make this statement, al
though dispatches bearing on the
nature of the German reply to the
American note respecting subma
rine warfare have been stopped
by the censorship.
The deliberations at headquar
ters have been concluded and
Ambassador Gerard will leave
for Berlin arriving here Tuesday
afternoon. \
The German reply is expected
with little delay, but it is consid
ered undesirable that preliminary
indications of the nature of the
note should be published abroad.;

WOLF OF WALL STREET
FOR THE ATLANTA PEN
Washington, May I.—The su
preme cour today affirmed the
conviction of David Lamar, re
ferred to as the “Wolf of Wall
street,” in the New York courts
on charges of impersonating A.
Mitchell Palmer to J. P. Morgan
and others with intent to defraud.
Lamar is under sentence to serve
two years in the federal peniten
tiary at Atlanta, and today’s ac
tion is the final word in the
courts.
The court decided that a con
gressman is an officer of the
United States within the mean
ing of the statute against the im
personation of an “officer of the
United States.” That was the
main point on which Lamar rest
ed his case.

UR absolute faith in the Max-
O well car is due to two reasons:
First, we have known that ;
the Maxwell Company uses nothing i
in the entire car but the very best
that money can buy. We have
known that the steel is scientifically
; heat treated, that the car is built
under the supervision of able engi- :
neers, that every car is rigidly tested
many times before it leaves the
factory.
Second, we have known that the
big and well established company
behind the car is building for the
- future, that they value a satisfied
owner above everything else. :
Now that the Maxwell has set the :
World’s Motor ‘Non-Stop Mileage
Record, by travclling continuously
for 44 days and rights—averaging
. 500 miles per day—you will under- :
stand the benefitz you personall
may derive from th: Maxwell policy.
Did you ever hear of any car going
22,000 miles without once stopping
the engins, without any repairs or :
readjustments, with only one g=llon
of gasoline to every 22 miles?
There is no reason why you
chouldn’t have a reliable, servii ¢-
able and economical Maxwell car.
The first cost is low, the operating
cost is low and our pay-as-you-rida
plan makes the purchase easy for
everyvae,
L:t us see you about this now,
before our allotment is exhausted.
